The Wooden Pistol.

Manifestly the next improvement
called for in firearms will be the manu-
facture Of pistols entirely of wood. Thus
constructed it will make little difference
whether they are muzzle-loaders or
breech leaders. 1t is not the pistol that
is so mischevious, but the load which,
unbeknown to its owner and everybody
else, finds its way into the weapon. The
pistol is at best very clumsy instrument
of warfare when it is used to shoot with.
1t is notorious that daelist who seek each
others gore with pistols generally fire so
wide of the mark as to hit distant barn
doors or spectators who have climbed
trees in order to be out of range of the
firing.
The instances in which pistols do dead
ly work are when the bad boys or care
less men point them at mothers-in-law or
little sisters not knowing that they are
loaded. Or sometimes, when the heavy
villain in a blood-and- thunder play
shoots at some vegetable on top Of too
confding person who thinks there is no
danger, the thing goes off with fatal cf-
feet. As defense against burglars,
thieves, ruffiians and malefactors general
ly, pistol is worse than useless The in
nocent who hopes to defend himself with
it shoots either himself or his best friend
or else it is wrested from him by his as
sailants, WHO proceed to use it to his great
disadvantage.
1t is well-ascertained fact that the
most valiant execution has been done
with the pistol by holding the barrel in
the hand and whacking at the enemy
with the stock. What the pistol-carriers
want is a wooden thing which looks like
a pistol and can be used for club This
can be worn in the hip-pocket as bravely
as the destroying implement with which
boys and men perform so many unfore-
seen accidents. 1t can be quite as orna-
mental, quite as bloodthirsty in appear
ance, and will cost great deal less
money.
Pistols of the old sort are continually
going out of style for newer ones. There
are as many changes in pistols as in bon
nets or gloves, and they change quite as
capriciously. Let the next fashion in
pistols be for wooden ones. We will
then no longer hear of the careless boy
shooting out his grandmother's eye, the
unwary circus man putting bullet
through his girls head, or the duelst
accidentally killing the peaceful COW at
pasture in the next lot.-Philadelphia
Times.

but was seen by chance, arrested as a
lunatic, and given his choice to be con-
fined in an asylum or to do his duty as
man. He came back, and, after two
happy years at home, died in his wife's
arms. In another case that / remem-
Der, gentleman was supposed to have
committed suicide iy jumping from
steamboat. His wife made no fuss, but
kept the matter uiet, because she alone
never gave up the idea that his suicide
was a sham, and for three years she
hunted him down, and finally restored
him to his home and business. A

he had left home beea Sc he wanted
