There are only two directions in | whieh the muzzle of a gun ean safely be pointed: these are up or down, says Forest and Stream. A shot fired in the air can scarcely injure any one or anything, and one dis- charged into the ground is equally harmless.

A search of the residence of Lebeata the mistress and self-confessed slayer of Michel, has brought to light parts of the man’s body. In her trunk were found the victim’s eye, tongue and right hand. On being asked her mo- tives in guarding the ghastly relies, she said that on account of her fond- ness for her victim, wished to preserve them as souvenirs. The fact that she admits having mutilat- ed the body, and her coolness in dis- cussing it, is leading to the belief that she may be insane, and she will be examined as to her mental condi- tion. she More Missionaries Killed.
