Oughtn’t you to now have a refrigerator that will not waste ice? Aren’t more towels wanted during the coming season of much bathing?

Haven’t you noticed how new lace cur= tains brighten the home appearance? Don’t these spring days make the old house clothing look dingy?

OTHER MATTERS OF INTEREST The distribution of the Krag-Jorgensen rifle, which has commenced, is to be push- ea forward as rapidly as possible, and it is quite likely that before next spring a con- | siderable proportion, if not all, ef the Dis- trict National Guard will be in possession of the new arm. in view of that probabil- ity, information made public by the Army and Navy Gazette will ve interesting to | National Guardsmen. The Gazette says | that “Dr. Chauvel of Paris bas communi- cated to the Academy of Medicine the rec- ord of a very interesting series of experi- ments conducted in Roumania with the new © mm. (.258-inch) rifle, which throw fresh light upon the effect of small caliber pro- jectiies upon the body. They serve to show that this effect is much graver than many | have believed. In one trial five bodies were | placed one behind che cther, some twenty inches apart, at a distance of 650 yards from the rifie. Of these four were pene- trated. In the case of the soft tissues the apertures of entry and exit were smailer | than with the old rifles, and the injured part may therefore, perhaps, be eapected to be smaller. On the other hand, at every Tange, up to 1,500 yards, the perforation of the bones was always accompanied by much comminution and breakage. ‘The le- sions of the arteries were even more severe. With the old balis these vessels were gen- erally torn, and often a hemasiatic forma- tion resulted, whereby the flow of blood Was arrested; but with tue new projectiles, which cut the vessels sharply, suci is not the case. Even in pulmonary wounds, in the case of horses, which did not involve the larger vesseis, they gave rise to ser- fous heinorrbage. which would not have been the case with the earlier weapon. Wounds of the liver and spleen 1 no! special remark, but, when the full intestine | | of the horse was str .the wound was ter- rible in its nature.

Capt. John M. Banister of the medical de- partment of the United States army has been studying rifle practice in its relati@n to eye strain, and in the American Journal of the Medical Sciences makes a suggestion | which will interest all marksmen. He says that the color of the targets used on the rifle range should be changed, and the eiement “This,” ‘can easily be effected by making of the target biack and the buil's | i i says b tne reflection of light trom the target could be almast entirely obviated, since the only Visible retiecting surface in this case would be the bull’s eye. Every one knows that the black target will absorb light, instead | of reflecting it. Another gain in this change would be the greater contrast produced be- tween the coor of the target and the face of the landscape, which would be a great advantage at most of our miliiary posis, as before expiained. “if any ‘@oubting Thomas’ among the |members of the shooting fraternity will | | imastepct Sam S Fecaet, BOG DinCe Me Oi Ee eee j bright day by the side of the present reg: lation target, he will see the force of the | remarks. | “It may be claimed as an objection to the proposed target that such good scores may h the one now This objection would prove unten- since I have had this matter te: ec | able, most encouraging results. 1 belleve that better scores cam be made witn the black target than have heretofore been poss rksmi ; eye would be of incalculable adv tag |“sat present most marksmen alm a’ i body of the target just below and a | the eft of the black bull's eye. proposed target the : could be outlined ag: the Itself, which would simply caus | change in the elevation of the y | the ‘windage’ and ‘drift’ allowe? for. “In the second place, as som ostures seem essential to full tong ra 1 recom Ze nd, for reasons already siated, that the prone position be made the sole regulation recumbent position, and that the back and side posiures be ex- cluded.” Small Arms Practice Regulations. In a recently issued general order the fol- lowing regulations for the small-arms prac- tice of the light battery are promulgated. Practice for the year will be as follow | With the rifle--In the gallery: One score at | range: Two scores at 200 yards; two scores ; at 3v0 yards. With the revolver—in the gal- y: Two scores at 50 feet; two scores at feet; all snap shooting. On the range: Two scores at 19 yards; two scores at 25 yards; two scores at 5) yards. hap shoot: s mitted at the other ranges. Revolver practice will be at skirmish tar- get D. The value of hits will be decided in acccrdance with sample target on file in th office of the Inspector general of rifle prac- | tice. This target represents a man of life size. A bullet striking the head or the cen- ter of the body above the waist counts 5; about one and a half inches on each side of body, 4; from waist to legs, 4; proj ting right arm, 3, and both legs, 3. The same order provides that the first r corps, will be required to practice with the revolver. Each officer and enlisted men will fire two scores at 30 and 75 feet in the gallery and two scores at 10 and 25 yards on thus made will be recorded and reported to the inspector general of rifle prac-ice, but voral not appear in the annual company re- port. | Paragraph 7 of the order declar that “as an incentive and to foster the pirit of emulation, a suitable trophy will be award- | company the largest percentage of whose | enlisted men shail have completed, in the — battalion, which was recently mustered in, and which ts composed of High School boys, is given below: Captain, Howard W.
