(Market prices allowed for furs.) If Cornered by a Savage ^east—And have the misfortune of having your gun or rifle rendered useless, making a hand to fight necessary, try and wrap a garment, coat (anything) around your left hand or arm or take a stick or club in that hand, leaving your right hand free for your knife, club or revolver, and thrust the stick or club that is in the left hand into the mouth of the beast. All \^ld animals vent their spite on the objects near- est them; hence tamers of wild animals allow them to vent their spite on a staff or rod thrust into their face or teeth, causing the animal to vent its spite on the object nearest them, and which they think is part of yourself because it moves; even a cat or dog will do this, as its animal nature. So use the left hand to detract the animal's attention or rage, keeping the right free for the attack.

Then grease the barrel thoroughly with vaseline, applied by a cloth fitted loosely on a The muzzles of the barrels should then be corked, so as the air can not get in. When putting your gun away for the winter, or for any considerable time, it is a good plan to fill the bar- rels with beef or mutton tallow. When you want to use the gun it is only necessary to warm the barrels and the tallow will drop out. Another ab- solute preventive of rust is the wick plug. If Pursued by Gam
