GUNS OF THE PURITANS, Not the BroQderbussc.s Csually Represent ed Jvr Artists. 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 wars with the Indians. One of the notions which seems firmly estab lished is that the early settlers gen erally used the hell muzzle blunder-; bttss. Almost every artist who draws a Thanksgiving or Christmas '?" picture of a Puritan going to meet ing gives him a gun with a muzzle like the end of a trumpet. '"Now, the fact is that the bell 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 the 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 shops are almost without exception later than 1750, and many of them date only from the early part of this century. A large, bell mouthed gun was in use somewhat earlier on hoard of naval and other armed ships, but this was a heavy piece mounted on a swivel and used very much as the howitzer was later. Then as to the locks. Even some of our most distinguished writers seem to he 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 would make fire if inserted into the cock of his matchlock. Now, the soldier of 1675 was given a match lock, not because the military au thorities; were ignorant of guns which dould make their own fire (wheel locks and snaphaunces were in common use); but because the matchlock was considered better for ordinary use. More 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 was fought requirss a powerful blow to. make the flint strike fire from the steel. This the matchlock did not have, nor did the pan cover open in such a way as to ' make this possible. At the time of King Philip's war and for a long time afterward the ordinary firesrm for infantry 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 snap 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 bptray its presence, especial ly at night. Wheel locks were prob ably used to 'some -extent by the earliest settlers, but1 it was always an excep tional arm and too costly to be generally used. By the time of King Philip's war it was rather old fashioned and not likely to have 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 is, of course, possible?anything is possi ble. But if any wheel lock blunder buss can be found in any collection of Europe or this country I would like to s?e it.?Boston Transcript. DOES GOLD-GROW? Some Veteran Miners Who Pretend to l?clicve That It Iiocs. They were all weather beaten trail blazers who had led the march of * civilization into the mountains, and j their conversation wandered from ! the departed glories of other days j to the latest discoveries in science. John Heleh?n had just finished ; reading from a mining journal about Professor Emmons'discovery of the j method of transmuting silver into gold. "I think Emmons is a humbug," ; said old Judge Longly, a California, ' argonaut. "The old-alchemists, you know, tried that, but they might as well have tried to make an apple seed. Nature holds the germ, and all the scientists who imitate her can do is to quicken its growth.*' . "I've hoard tel^of gold growing," j remarked Will Bobbins. *"So have I," said the judge, "hut ?. you have never seen it grow, have you? I don't believe all the yarns these experts spin anyhow."' "Boys," spoke up John Treanor, "perhaps I have got so! ?e queer old notions stowed away under this dig* gin hat of mine, but for 30 ye man and boy, I've been a prosp ;ct or, and I've been doia some think in. And I tell you ??w that 1 be lieve gold docs grow. Twenty years ago I struck the Locust and sank a shaft. It was .silver ui\\ and after^l cuggin for awhile' 1 gave it up in dis- j gus.t.

It seemed to ma that in the places where the water struck it it grew richer. I run in three tunnels at the bottom, but found the gold was not yet ripe, so I just closed up the tunnels and let thern rest for a few years." "Blame me if I don't think Hank Stebbins docs the same thing," said Jack Flice. "Hank lives up in Soap gulch and has a claim he calls the Belcher. He discovered it 30 years ago, when Wash Stapleton was mak ing bullets in his -load mine to kill Indians with. It is in a funny for mation for that part of the country. It is in a reef of sand lying between the lime formation that borders on the Melrose valley and the stratified gneiss formation that runs from tha t point to tbe 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 mineral to pay, and he abandoned it. Ten years ago he went back to the old mine and began turning over the sand. He began to find chunks of gold instead of sil ? ver. He has a good thing of it now. He mines it like the Mexicans used to mine it year's ago. He cuts stairs in the sand and takes the sand up in ft candle box and sorts it over. Now all he has got to do when he wants to, make a stake is to go down to the s?nd pile and wiggle a. crow bar around for a few minutes; when up comes a piece of shining gold. Several capitalists have attempted: to get hold of the mine, and one of Heinze's agents made him a good offer for i?, but Hank won't sell, for he is sure ho has a fortune if the gold keeps on growing. "?Butter In ter Mountain. Witchcraft In the Nineteenth Century. Most people believe that witch craft among civilized people ended when the "Salem witch mania" ran its course and died out in the year 1692. It did, as far as America is concerned, except among savages, but in other countries the belief ?d the superstition did not die until a much later date,'even if it can be truly said to be dead now. In France, an old beggar was tortured to death as late as lb07 on the charge of be ing one who "communed with evil spirits," and in Spain a witch was burned in 1808. In 18j0 in Trance a man and his wife tortured a suspect ed witch- to death, and nothing at all was dono with them by the crim inal courts on account of the linger ing belief in sorcery. Four years later, a witch was drowned in Eng land, and in 1s60 one was burned in Mexico. Inj 1874, 1s79, 18s0 and again in 1889 witches were publicly burned in Russia, and even as late as 1s90 regular judicial trials of witches were had in Prussia, Poland and Austria-Hungary. ?

When People Catch Cold. The "cold spots," Meaning thera by the surface areae peculiarly sus ceptible to cold, aro principally the nape of the neck and the lower part of the back of the head, the front of the abdomen and the shins. The acute discomfort and the sense of impending^ disaster which result from the steady play of a current of cold air upon the neck from behind are well' known. The necessity of keeping the abdomen warmly clad is also generally* recognized, though perhaps not as generally carried into practice. .Curiously enough, few people arc conscious of the dan ger they run by exposing the usual ly inadequately protected shins to currents of cold air. This is the usual way in which colds are caught on omnibuses. When driving, one takes care to cover the legs with a rug or waterproof, but on the more j democratic conveyance ruga are not often available, and the reckless ! passenger by and by awakens to the fact thatthefiron has entered into! his soul?in other words, that he has "eaught cold." People who woar stockings, such as highland ers, golfers mol cyclists, invariably j take the precaution of turning the thick woolen material down over the shiii>-r,the bettor to protect thein ? against loss of heat, though inci- j dentally the artificial embellishment of the calves may not be altogether foreign to the maneuver. This is an instance of how all things work together for good. It does not, of course, follow because certain areas ! are peculiarly susceptible to cold that a chill may not be conveyed to tho nervous system from other points. Prolonged sitting on a Stone, or even on the damp grass, is well known to lie a fertile sonic;' of disease, and wer. cold feet are also, with reason, credited with paving the way to an?barly grave.?London Medical Press. :?).

"It is the easiest thing in the world to fool a woman, " she said. 'Women do not reason. They aro ?nuch moro suspicious than men, but when once their confidence has. been gained you can make them be lieve the moon is made of green cheese. "The whole problem is in gaining the visitor's confidence. If I can m ake her believe in me, she is gone. Usually it is not a very difficult job to do that. Probably one-half of the women who call to consult me are actuated by no other motive than idle curiosity. Such wonien never come back the second time; sb I know that I can get only one fee from them anyway. I exact payment in advance, and after that it doesn't make very much differ ence to me what I tell theni. "But occasionally a woman comes in who has money and means busi ness. If I please her, she will como again and again, making my pock etbook heavier each time. That is the woman I am after, of course, and my first work is to impress her with my honesty. I do not know her name, her -r?sidence or her his tory. If I did, it would be clear sail ing right from the start. "I ask for the usual fee and go into a 'trance. ' Very shortly I awake with a start. am very sorry,' I remark, 'but the electrical and mag netic conditions today aro very bad. The atmosphere seems to be sur charged with electricity, and it greatly interferes with my work. However, I will try again in a few minutes.' After a short interval of conversation I again go into a trance. .This also proves ineffective, and I hand the caller's money back, saying that I am very sorry that she came at such an inopportune time and assuring her that the con ditions do not interfere with my sit tings offener than once or twice a year. .Will she call again tomorrow? She usually is impressed by my sincerity and promises to come back. . "When she leaves, a egro serv ant, whom I have warned by an electric buzzer, follows her wher ever she may go. When he returns, he has the woman's residence num ber. From this it is an easy matter to identify her, and a few inquiries in the neighborhood?at the nearest grocery, perhaps?are sufficient to give me all the informa Lion I need. Very often as soon ?s I find out who my visitor is I know something about her which will ? mea clew to what she wants to know. "When she calls again, I go into a trance, and this time the 'cond?- . tions' are all right. I surprise her ; inexpressibly by describing the ap pearance of her own sideuce, giv- ' ing the street and number and final- j ly spell out ber own name. Nine times out of ten this is all that is required. The caller is convinced that 1 have learned her name and j residence by occult power, and j therefore is ready to believe any- j thing else I may tell her. It is easy when you know how.

Miss Viola Allen has probably died as many times as any other woman on the stage?that is to say, of course, a dramatic death. "There is something fascinating to mo," she said, "in a death scene. If the actress has to fall to tho ground in a death agony,, she must be care ful that she does not perform the feat as though she were a clasp knife folded up. Thou, again, she must cultivate breathing, so that she may seem not to bo breathing at all. Nothing is moro ridiculous than Ilio spectacle presented by a supposed corpse whoso chest is heaving vio lently in consequence of the emo tion attendant upon falling. "I remember iu Virginio-?' I war, stabbed and fell ! ^%V.v. ?ri? 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 holcing of my breath. The 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 tbe Italian tragedian used to get extremely excited. I would turn my face sideways and hold a small space open under the farther side of the pillow, so that I could breathe, but even that breathing hole would frequently get closed un der Salvini's forceful cnergy. "Then, when he had found that ho had killed Desdemona without cause, in his remorse he would throw himself heavily lipon 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, I have died many times. Romeo, you know, drinks the poison and subsequently throws the vial away as Juliet approaches him; then, seeing him die, stabs herself and falls over him. At one theater the property man, thinking poison should be represented by some black liquid, filled tho vial with ink. As Romeo made merely a slight motion of drinking the liquid, he did not notice the nature oft the fluid. But when he threw the bottle from him it struck some where near Juliet, and the ink flew all over my face and the lovely white gown I wore. On that occa sion, yoii 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 caso I took special care to find out the right poison that should be mentioned in ihe piece as 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. Now 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.
