GUNS OF THE PURITANS, Kot ?bo Blunderb taxes Uinu?LSy Represent ed ;?r Arti* te. One of the most remarkable facts to the investigator of our American antiquities is the almost total igno rance which prevails among even those who aro otherwise well in formed as to the weapons, more es pecially the firearms, with which our Puritan ancestors fought their vars with the Indians. One of the notions which seems firmly estab lished is thjut tho early settlers gen erally uscdjthe bell tnuzzlo blunder buss Almost every artist who raws a Thanksgiving or Christmus i i. ture o? a Puritan going to meet ing gives him a gun with a muzzle like the end of a trumpet, ?Now, tho fact is that the boll mouth firearm was never a military arm among English speaking people at all, nor was such a weapon ever common either in this country or in England until about tho middle of the last century, when it came into use for the defense of houses against' bur. glars, for stagecoach guards and similar purposes. The blunderbusses which are common enough in the curiosity shopB are almost without exception later than 1760, and many of them date only from tho early part of this century. A large, bell mouthed gun was in use somewhat earlier on board of naval and other armed ships, but this was a heavy piece mounted on a swivel and used^ery much as the howitzer was later. Then as to tho locks. Even some of our most distinguished writers seem to-be completely at sea on this point. One New England writer, whom I will not name for fear of seeming disrespectful to a man de serving of honor, wrote some time ago in a magazine article that some soldier in King Philip's war might have invented the flintlock by find ing that an Indian flint arrowhead woidd make fire if inserted into tho cock of bis matchlock. Now, the soldier o? 1676 was given a match lock, not because the military au thorities were ignorant of guns which eould make their own fire (wheel looks and snaphaunees were in common use); but because the matchlock was considered better for ordinary use. Moro than this, if he had thought of it, he/would have known that his matchlock would not make fire with a flint. The flint lock with which our war of inde pendence VV?? fougnt requires a powerful blow to make the flint strike fire from the steel. This the matchlock did not have, nor did th? pan cover. open in such a way as to naiko this possible. At the time of King Philip's war and for a long time afterward the ordinary .firearm f or inf antry was the matchlock musket. These are plenty in European collections, but very rare in America. I have never seen one in any collection in this country. At the sam? time the enap haunce, a primitive form of the flintlock, was quite extensively used by hunters, and probably by the In dians, who would naturally object to the match, which if kept .lighted would betray its.presence, especial ly at night. Wheel locks were prob ably used to 'some-extent by tho earliest settlers, but1 it was always an exceptional arm and tor? costly to be generally used. By the, time of King Philippa war it was rather old fashioned and ?ot likely to hove- fig ured much. In Springfield is a fine bronze statue of one of the early settlers,'who is represented with a wheel lock blunderbuss. This ia, of course, possible-any thing is possi ble. But if any wheel lock blunder buss can be found in any collection cf Europe or this country I would like to see it.-Boston. 'Transcript. DOES* GOLD' GROW ?

He discovered it 30 years ago, when Wash Stapleton was milk ing bullets in his load mino to kill Indians with. It is in a funny for mation for that part of tho country. lt is in a reef of sand lying between the lime formation that borders on tho Melrose valley and the stratified gneiss formation that runs from that point to the base of Red mountain. Thirty years ago Hank discovered that there were globules of silver in the sand and located, but there was not enough minorai to pay, and he nhitndoned it. Ten yeara ago he went back to the old inine and began turning over the sand. He began to ?nd chunks of gold instead of sil ver. He has a good thing of it aow. He mines it like the Mexicans used to mine it year's ago. He cuts ^tairs in the sand and takes the sand up in A candle box and sorta it over. Now all he has got to do when, he wants to, make a stake ia to go down to the sand pile and wiggle a crow bar around for a few minutes when up comes a i>ieco of shining gold. Several capitalists have attempted to get hold of the raine, and ono of Heinze's agents made him a good offer for itT but Hank won't sell, for ho is surb ho has a fortune if tho gold keeps on growing.

Most people believe that witch craft among civilized people ended when tho "Salem witch mania" ran its course and died out in the year 1692. It did, as far as America is concerned, except among savages, hut in other countries the belief in the superstition did not die until a much later date, even if it can be truly said to be dead nov/. In France an old beggar was tortured to death as lat? as lo07 on tho charge of be ing one who "communed with evil spirits;" and in Spain a witch was burned in 1808. In 1830 in France a man and his wife tortured a suspect ed witch to death, and nothing at all was done with thom by the crim inal courts cn acccviut of tho linger ing belief in sorcery. Four years later, a witch was drowned in Eng land, and in 1860 one was burned in Mexico. . Jn.: 1874, 1870, 1880 and again in 1889 witches were publicly humed in Russia, and even ns late as 1890 regular judicial trials of witches were had in Prussia, Poland and Austria-Hungary. - St. Louis Republic.

Fascination to Uer, Miss Viola Allon luis probably died as many timos as any otber woman on the stage-that is to say, of course, a dramatic death. "There is something fascinating to me," she said, "in a death scene. If the actress has to fall to tho ground in a death agony,, she must he care ful that she does not perform tho feat as though she were a clasp knife folded up. Thou, again, sin- must cultivate breathing, so that she may seem not to he breathing at all. Nothing is moro ridiculous than tho spectacle presented by a supposed corps*? whose chest is heaving vio lently in consequence of tho emo tion attendant upon falling. "I remember in 'Virginie!:' I was stabbed and fell ^o,kvy?r<l to the ground. The blow made me gasp. Gradually my limbs became rigid, and I fell at tho moment the spark of life was supposed to have left my body. I used to remain motionless with my mouth and eyes open. My authority for such action and subse quent pose is the strongest ' I was the witness of just such a tragedy in real life. The only pain I expe rienced in that scene was the en forced holding of my breath. Tho length of the actual death scene is about five minutes. "When I played in 'Othello' with Tomaso Salvini, I was always nerv ous during tho smothering scene, because tho Italian tragedian used to get extremely excited. I would tura my face sideways and hold a small space open under the farther side of tho pillow, so that I could breathe, but oven that breauiiug hole would frequently get closed un der Salvini's forceful energy. "Then, when he had found that ho had killed Desdemona without j cause, in his remorse he would throw himself heavily Upon the body. I used to wait for this piece of business as one would wait for a locomotive about to project itself upon tho waistband. "As Juliet, T have died many times. Romeo, you know, drinks the poison and subsequently throws the vial away as Juliet approaches him ; then, seeing him die, st abs herself and falls over him. At one theater the property man, thinking poison should be represented by some blafk liquid, tilled the vial with ink. As Romeo made merely a slight motion of drinking the liquid, ho did not notice the nature 06 the fluid. But when he throw tho bottle from him it struck some where near Juliet, and the ink flew all over my face and the lovely whito gown I wore. On that occa sion, yoi! may be sure, the life of Juliet was ended with the least pos sible delay. "in 'La Charbonni?re' the heroine dies a slow death by poison. In this case I took special care to find out the right poison that should be mentioned in ?le piece ns the one that would cause a slow numbing of the senses. . "Death by starvation is by no means jolly. As Jess in 'Ho?d man, ' I have had to make believe I would give my life for a doughnut. In this play my death occurred while I was reclining on my side, well down the stage toward the footlights. This was quite often an awkward situation, because of the different curtains at the various theaters. Nov/ and then, to avoid my being struck by the curtain, the hero would be obliged to draw my body back, and once, though a man put out his hand to keep tho curtain from touching me, the? heavy mass actually grazed my nose."-Boston Globe.
