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 ?

reading from a mining journal about
Professor Bannons' discovery'of tho
m?th?d of transmuting silver into
gold. .

said bid Judge Longly, a California

"Binnie mo if I don't think Hank.
Stebbins does the same thing," said
Jack Flice. "Hank lives up in Soap
? gulch and hus a claim he calls the
I Belcher. 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. ' '-Butter In

Witchcraft In the Nineteenth Century.
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

SHE LIKES D?ATH SC?NES.
?toi? Allen, the Actress, Say? They Are
. 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
