ONE night. recently, so the story goes,
a gentleman, accompanied by his wife,
went to see the everlasting "Seven Sis
ters" at Laura Keene's Theater, in New
York, The attendance was rather small
that evening, and the gentleman and his
lady, who had come in on the ordinary
half-doIlar ticket, helped themselves to q
couple Of vacant orchestra chairs. An
usher came up and remarked that those
chairs were sevsnty-6ve cents apiece.-
" "Indecd |" answered the wag, II should
say they were extremely cheap ct that; I
am not in the furniture line. or by Jove
I'd buy 'emi" There was general snicker
in that quarter for moinsnt, and the
usher, who appreciated the joke, "retired "
in good ORDER" (as the military dispatches
are accustomed to say, and left the Occu.
pants unmolested for the remainder Of
the evening.

1t is an error to suppose that because a

youl or because she sighs when you are

well-brcd modification for yawning, and
as often betTays WEAKNESS as anxiety or

II is an error to suppose that because a
man smiles on yOn he ID yOnr friend be-

It is an error to suppose that because q

Historians are not agreed - 70 Wnere
and when artillery was flrst employed.
Il is now believed, upon good authority,
that gunpowder and guns were used In
China tlileeR centuries before they were
known In Europe. The flrst artillery
consisted merely Of small iron tubes,
which discharged leaden bullets armed
with iron tubes, and shaped like pyra-
mids, each mounted upon . carriage, and
the gHnners who operated them were
protected BY Iron shleldA At the begin
ming Of the fifteenth century, the use Of
firearms became general In the armies 0f
EuvOpe and In several Asiatic nations
aud At the present day, when We make
much ado about cannon throwing one
hundred and twenty pound shot, and con.
slider these missiles very large, We forget
that much larger shot were used three
centuries ago. The scale Of calibre In
the early days Of gunnery ranged from
thirty-tw0 to the pound up to bombards
throwing stone balls Of one thousand
pounds. Bolts, burning arrows, ire.balls.
grenades, shells, case.shot filed with balls
Of one (shrapnell,l } and in.endiaFy or burn
ing baIla, were aIl used Ia The days Of old.
Small firearms were used In castles and
cities for defense, before they were used
in 6eld warfare Large cannon were
made Of cast-iFon; also Of wrought iron,
welded together and hooped; and also
cylenders Of iron hooped with rings. At
the battlo of TongFes, in France, In 1905.
It is related that three cannon were used
Of such great eiEs that they threw stone
balls weighing three hundred and hye
hundred pounda AZ the siege Of CDn,s
in 1850. twenty-four moVtaFs were fred,
and each of then was 80 large that man
could sic upright In It At the great
serge Of COnstaNtinople, when taken from
the Greeks BY Mahommet the Second,
there was one cannon which threw six
hundred pound balla In 164l, cartridges
were tirsi employed IN the armies Of Gus
tavus AdOlphus. The first muskets were
lirSt called "matchlocks," because the
charge was ignited BY > match; their
barrels were about six fest long, and re.
uuiFad rest The iron soldiers Of Orom-
wen carried matchloCks; the flint lock
was introduced into England in the reign
of Charles the Second. The inventor Of
the percussion lock was the Rev. AlexAn-
der Forsyth, . Presbyterian clergyman,
who secured . patent for Il April II. 1907.
The percn6E6S powder was fed In the
touCh.hOls BY : ssleacting rod.
