Every man in the peaceful and democratic country of Switzerland is a soldier in a modest way. The ablebodied Swiss enters the army at twenty years of age and serves six ty-five days in his iirst year. For the next twelve years he trains for three weeks every alternate year. At thirty-two he enters the land- wehr and has eight to ten days un der arms every fourth year until, at fifty, he retires and is required to furnish no further service except in case of war. It is not too much to call the Swiss a nation of marksmen. The training periods are occupied only with drill and tactics; the all im portant matter of shooting is left to the individual soldier to carry out at other times, and he does it under the auspices of the shooting societies which arc such a feature of Swiss life. ^ fv/v These societies, under govern- flnp f* rKl.lVU ment control, are called Schutzen- LMIC I ceil VV ge8?Uschaftcn iu thc Gcrman and Societies do Tir in the French can tons. They arc voluntary associa tions, varying in size and importance with the town or village they serve. Those in the larger towns possess completely fitted ranges and club houses; the small villages do their shooting in any field backed by-a suitable hill. Every peasant and townsman has easy facilities - for shooting, and each man has his service rifle always in his possession. Every man between the ages of twenty and thirty-two must fire thirty-two shots in four compulsory exercises every year, and the socie ties receive a grant of 2 francs for every soldier shooting this course on their ranges. The income derived from the grants generally suffices for thc current expenses of the so ciety, supply of targets and pay of marker. There is no entrance fee subscription, ns a rule, and hcavv expenditures, such as that in curred by the construction of now ranges, is met by a special grant from the government. In addition to these exercises, many competitions are held be tween different villages, towns and cantons. The whole system of Swiss shooting is a good example of co-opcration between government and individual. Every Switzer has his army rifle; he can use it when and where he will, provided he does not endanger other lives; he is in sured by his government against all accidents on the ranges, and through his society he can secure the services of qualified military of ficers to organize and control his shooting. By treating rifle shooting as a sport, and it is as popular as baseball or football with us and far more generally practiced, the Swiss have removed it from its usual warlike associations, but should occasion arise that which has been learned in sport would be used in earnest.—-New York Press. y . ■> L. .... ..-‘i.. y Moki Indian Breadmaking. Women of the Moki Indians in the deserts of New Mexico make bread in sheets no thicker than a sheet of paper. The corn of which the bread is made is ground be tween two heavy stones until it be comes -very fine, Then it is mixed with water and a very thin batter prepared. The hatter is spread on a hot stone over the fire, where it is allowed to bake a considerable time. When one side is baked the other is turned. Sheet after sheet is baked in this manner. No salt is used in the batter, and the bread has a sweetish taste. It is usually blue, taking the color of the corn from which it is made.—Chicago Record-Herald. A Great Invention. Hearing a tremendous noise or series of noises in the lower front hall, Mrs. Goodfellow went to the top of the stairs and looked down. What she saw was Mr. Goodfel low sitting on the lowest stair, hold ing his shin and muttering to him self. “What are you doing there?” she demanded, with full weight of asperity in her voice. “I am inventing an electric de- Tice which will move all the furni ture into the back yard the moment the front door is opened at night,” said Mr. Goodfellow.—Buffalo Ex press.
