Jim Bowie and His Knife.

The bowie knife was the invention
Of Colonel James Bowie, a famous
frcntiersman, who was born in Lo-
gan County, Ky, in 1896. In 1914
he settled on a small piece OF land,
where he lived by numbering, fishing
and hunting, soon afterwards made
considerable money by specializing
in negroes and real estate, removed
to Texas and married the daughter
of Ex-Governor Berrymenda. In 1929
80 he engaged actively in the reyo.
luton in that country, andclosed his
career inthe bloody battle of Alamo.
His knife is said to have been invent
ed while he was confined to his bed
in the city of Natchez from the effects
Of a wound received in a border fray.
He was aman ofmUch mechanical in
genuity and whitfield from g little
piece of white pine a model OF a hunt
ing knife, which esent tOtwo brothers
named Blackman, in the city of
Natchez, and told them to spare no
expense in making a duplicate Of it
in steel. This was the origin of the
dreaded bowie knife. 1t was made
from % large sawmill file and its tent
per afterward improved upon by the
Arkansas blacksmith. 1T is said by
Durand in his History ofthe Phila-
delphia Stage" that the knife which
Edwin Forrest used in "Metamora''
was the original bowie knife and he
tells this story about it.
Very many years ago Bowie owned
a plantationat BAYOU errebonne. A
Spanish neighb orconstantly annoyed
the Colonel with petty insults until
at last his conduct becameso unbear-
able that Bowie challenged the
naughty hidalgo. Thelatter accepted
and named knives as the weapons to
be used, and also stipulated that the
contestants We're to be seated VISA
Wis aside of a trestle, as on a horse,
the four legs of the trestle to be buried
about a foot in theearth, so that it
could not by any possibility be over
turned. Each of the principals was
permittedto use in the duel what
ever kind OF knife he might select.

blade, sharp at the point and with a
razor's edge, madefo himself. When
the combatants met on the ground
named, Bowie's knife excited the ridi-
cule Of his adversary. The result,
however, proved the superiority d
the bowie knife to the long Spanish
coutean-de-chasse used by his antag-
onist. The men took their seats on
the trestle both naked to the waist.
At the agreed-upon signal the Span
lard drew back his hand, armed with
the long knife, to make a lunge.
Bowie, however, thrust his knife
straight forward into the body of his
enemy, and then drawing it quickly
across disemboweleG the Spaniard in
the twinkling Of an eye. Bowie pre-
scented the knife he used in the duel to
Edwin Forrest during q visit the
great tragedian made to the Colonel
at his plantation.

The teeth in old age are, Of course,
lost, and they should, unless, under
exceptional circumstances be replaced
by artificial teeth, for the thorough
chewing OF food is even more necessary
in the old than in the young, because
in the old the digestive powers are apt
to fail. With the best artificial teeth
mastication is apt to be imperteetiy
performed: hence the food of the aged
should be soft and readily comminut-
ed, and especially should it be Of easy
digestion. Very few old people need
stimulating diet; very many are injur-
ed by an excess Of heterogeneous food,
The kidneys, like all other organs, are
feeble, and if meats and either rich
foods are used in excess, they greatly
increase the strain upon these organs.
Milk and milk products or prepare
tions Of ~breadstuffs cooked with milk
shouldform a very large proportion Of
the food of the ordinary aged individ-
nal but individual peculiarities differso
much that personal medical counsel
should ia all cases be taken so that
the diet may be regulated TO the
needs OF the individual case. Very
many old people are hurt by the use
of food III excessive quantity; but lit
tie exercise can be taken, all growth
has ceased, and the bodily furnaces
which make heat are abs TO destroy
but very little Of food fuel. Some lit-
tie time since T had occasion to lecture

Hospital, and an assertion that /

and probably live longer for the use of
wine, has met with very severe disap-
probation at the hands Of some ofthe
profession, whose strong sympathy
with the temperance movement domi-
mates their judgment. No valid rea-
sons have, however, so far as my judg-
ment goes, been brought forward
to lead me to change my
opinion. In the overfed Amerf
can people the habitual use of wine
during youthful or middle aye and

rather than a good; but when the
powers OF life are failing, when diges-

especially Of digestive power, the call
for the habitual use 81 alcoholic
liquors IS, III my opinion, imperative.

The Capital gives an interesting a c
count which it states was obtained
from Ingersoll himself OF she prepera-
ton of that gentleman's remarkable
speech nominating Blaine at Cincin-
natl in 1875. According to the Capt.
tai when Col. Bob went out to Cincin-
NATL accompanied by his brother,
Ebon c., who was then practicing law
in Washington, he had not the slight
est intention Of making any speech
whatever in the convention. Two
days before the nominating speeches
were to be made he was asked by
Blaine's friends to make the speech
putting Blaine in nomination. AT
first he declined, but finally yielded to
their persuasions. He had two days
to think over the points and prepare
his speech, but Cincinnati was lively in
those days, and when Ingersoll went
to bed at midnight Of the second day
be had not written q line. He says
he slept sounlly until about 2 O'Clock
in the morning, when he awoke with
a feeling that he had had q nights
rest. His mind was clear, his facul-
ties active. He said to himself that
the time had come to prepare that
speech. He got up softly and went IN
to the next room, where the gas was
burning dimlyf dressed, sat down,
closed his eyes and pictured to him-
self the convention as he would see it
the next day. He imagined sifaseli

Illinois was called, and then and there

says, as he delivered it on the next
day. Whenhe had finished it he open.
