Old Pistols.

Mr. D. T. Sheriff of Prince Georges

pair of fint-lock pistols manufactured
by Moore of London about 1760. They
are perfectly preserved. They were
formerly the property of Washington

were used by some of his ancestors in
the revolutionary war. They are about
six inches long, with brass breeehes.
In order to fire them duplex slide on

cover and allowing room to cock the
hammer,the cooking of which discovers
the trigger, which lies concealed until
prepared to fire. When the trigger is
pulled, the hammer, holding a piece of
flint stone about one-half an inch
square and one-eighth thick, tapered
to wedge-shaped point. comes in
contact with the perpendicular portion
OF the pan-cover, throws it forward,
and the sparks are directed by the i'm

Steel Pens.
From Notes and Queries.


The earliest notice OF steel pens that
have met with is by Wordsworth.
In 1906 he and his family were occu.
pying the house at Coleorton during
the absence OF Sir George and Lady
Beaumont, and in the month of De-
| cember the poet wrote to the latter
what he calls "the longest letter
ever wrote in my life." and with rea-
son, as it fills eighteen pages. He be-
gins; "My Dear Lady Beaumont:
There's penmanship for you! shall
not be able to keep it up to the end in
this style, notwithstanding l have
the advantage of writing with one of
your steel pens, with which Miss Hutch
inson has just furnished me-" The
next mention that / have noted is by
DIR. kltchiner. in 1924, when, speaking
OF . friend above 60, he says: "This
strain of the eye, and occasion for
spectacles OF q high magnifying power
is particularly found in mending pens,
so that he has sufficient number OF
pens to prevent the necessity ofmend-
ing any t them until he has finished
writing" To this there is appended
q note: "To those who find the mend
ing OF pens rather a difficult job,
recommend the occasional use of a.
steel pen, especially when they wish
to write very small and neatly."-
"The Economy OF the Eyes," London,
1924. p. 55. The steel pen seems to
have been still a rarity at that time.
and my own schoo!-boy experience
tends to show that it was. From
about 1924 to 1884 do not remem-
Der the use OF steel pens in school. and
in the earlier years 1925 to 1880 I
have a distinct recollection OF our
using quills.

The New York Tribune publishes the fol-
lowing letter ADDRESSED to its editor, White

PROTECT YOUR HEALTH.
Some Suggestions Put Forth at a
Sanitary Conference in Minne-

sanitary conference OF Minnesota ply
sicians have been in session at Rochester.
Charts were conspicuously displayed be-
hind the chairman desk. They were the
work OF DR.. Hewitt, and were the result OF
long and we'll directed labor secretary
OF the state board OF health. The reports
from more than 1. 900 local health boards
have been epitomized in these graphic
charts, hnd the prevalence and fa-
talty OF diseases during 1887, the
results OF race characteristics on dis
ease and numerous other facts are very
plainly depicted. SO as to be understo ood
at Il glance. 1t is Il matter OF state pride
that these charts are the first that have
ever been compelled by any state board OF
health in the United States. and to Dr.
Hewitt belongs the credit OF being the first
state health officer who has gone through
the necessary arduous correspondence. At
the microscopical exhibition given to the
members OF the conference and few in
vted guests, the new microscope owned
by the state board was shown, together
with few OF local ownership. Bacteria
OF several diseases were shown, the most
interesting being the bacili OF leprosy, the
specimens being furnished by DR.. G. Ar
mauer Hanson, surgeon OF the leper hos.
pital at Bergen, Norway.
DIR. w. A. Hunt Of Mortified presented
a paper on the means OF preventing the
spread OF infectious diseases. He claimed
that three-fourths OF all disease was pre-
ventable, aud that non-p1evention was
due more to careessness than any thing
else. He urged compulsory vaccination
OF children, and insisted that smallpox
could become an unknown maIady ii the
world would combine to prevent its
spread.
To-day it is on the increase in the United
States and prompt measures will be need
ed to check it's progress. It is every ono 8
duty to at once report any suspected case,
and TO cheerfully comply with the direc.
tions OF the local health authorities. The
cause OF most OF the Infections diseases be.
ing germs that find Judgments in filthy sur
roundings is reason enough for the strict
enforcement Of sanitary laws. The
local health officers are doing a
quiet but effective work in bringing
about the required state OF things through.
out Minnesota. and their efficient sa anitary
service is at the call of any one.
The paper by DIR. Mosse, Rochester's
health officer, on Woman and Hygiene"
was a plea for perfect cleanliness in the
home and for woman, as the ruler in the
home kingdom, to use all her authority
and influence in favor OF her surroundings
that shall conduce to health OF the family.

taxed 1919 per cent. or lights cigar taxed

his horse that has been shod-the nails
used in shoeing beng taxed 50 per cent,
driven by a hammer taxed 20 per cent
and bitches him to pillow taxed 45 per

after the days labor ia closed and his

and kneels to God on an humble carpet
taxed 81 per cent: and then he rests his
weary limbs on q sheet taxed 45 per cent,
and covers himself with blanket that
