Where the Old Guns Go.

A question of not a little interest is
what became of the guns handled by the
millions or more soldiers engaged in 1851 ).
At the close of that great unpleasantness
there were in possession Of ncle Sam not
less than 1000 900 musket rifles. Thou
sands of these arms were disposed of at
public sale ranging from II l2 cents up to
81 80. MANY of the better class of these
old-tlme musketS rifles were sent to Mexico,
and not few did good service in the
Franco-PruSsian war, which sent Louis
Napoleon to his own place. Fully 100, 900
Springfield rifles, besides a great many
improved firearms of other makes, We're
sent to European countries after the sur
render at AppomatoX.
The greater part of those sent to France
were captured by the Germans, sold at
auction, and shipped back to the United
States. OF the large quantity sold at pub
lie auction and Government sales many
were bored out, reduced in size and made
into cheap shotguns. The trade in these
cheap shotguns was a bi g factor with dealers
here for many years subsequent to the war.
This trade was mainly with the West and
South, where game was plentiful and money
scarce. As this stock is now pretty well
exhausted, gun dealers promise themselves
DetteT tfaue Ill tne years 10 come.
There has probably been no time in the
past ten years when the outlook for this
trade here was as good as now. An indi-
cation of the growth of this industry is
furnished by the fact that the United
Hunting and Camping Clubs Association
Of Western Pennsylvania" new organiza-
tion has gathered in some 70 clubs, ma
jority of which have been born in the last
half q dozen wears With Such n LARGE
| constituency to supply, together with the
great and growing numbers in this region
who hunt the denizens of forest and stream
on their own hook, it must be plain that
| there is little likelihood of the gun and am
munition dealer finding his occupation
gone for many years to come.

The American Flag.

In resolution of Congress, June 13,
lTT7, it was decrced 'that the flag of the
thirteen United States be thirteen stripes,
alternately red and white; that the Union
be thirteen stars, white in a blue field,
representing a new constellation This
flag was established by law in July of the
same year. The plan was to add new
stripe for each new State admitted to the
Union, but by the rapid admission of new
States the added stripes made the flag too
large, and by later act of Congress the
stripes were reduced to the original num-
bcr, thirteen, and star was added to the
Union on the introduction of new State.
AS at present constructed the flag is
symmetrical in shape and proportion
The infantry flag is six feet six inches by
six feet, and has seven red and six white
stripes. The first stripe at the top is red,
the next white. and so on alternately the
last stripe being red. Each stripe should
be- half as many inches wide as the flag is
feet long. and the union should be one third
the length of the flag, and cover seven
stripes in width These details differ
slightly in flags used in different organiza-
tiOn> IN some of v hCh the flag is six feet
six inches by four feet four inches, the
length being onc-half longer than the
breadth.
In the War Department the stars in the
field are usually arranged in the form of a
large star; in the navy they are arranged
in straight lines, perpendicular and hori-
zontal The ordinary flags used for dis
play are generally made with no special re-
gard for the fixed rules for their conStruc-
ton

times every day and every time he quarrcls
with me or quarrel with him and he's just
a. cool and unconcerncd a. If there wasn't
anybody in the world but himself; the
great selfish bear There comes Mr.
Haynes and promised to 90 rowing with
him this evening. The moon is lovely and
I'm learning TO row, 50 goodbye for an
hour auntie." and taking the genteman's
arm she was gone in the direction Of the
shore where a boat was soon found and
they rowcd out on the still. calm, moon
lit water. where the lights from the
many yachts in the harbor were twnkln4.
There were other boats and canoes Of peo-
pie intent on pleasure, and voices came
clearly over the water, while now and then
snatch Of song rung out from some YES
sci was caught up by other voices and
then died softly away in echoes from the
surrounding hills. This yacht belongs to
Jack Lawrence" Nell's companion said as
they passed under the bow OF large fine
looking vessel. She's the finest craft in
the harbor."
Nell opened her lips to reply, but there
,.o- s,.Ila. Jra.If,,l and
both were plunged in the water. She
heard noise and confusion, heard people
calling to each other and was dimly con
scious of a huge black shape towering
above her, then the cruel waves closed
over her head and all was dark.
When she opened her eyes again, she
was in strange place, with Mrs. Mere
dith bending over her. Where am l.,
auntie?" she said family. ''On board Mr.
Lawrence's yacht" answered auntie, try
ing to speak cheerfully though there were
tears IN her eyes.
"A steamer ran into your boat and you
might have been drowned but for Jack,
who saw it all and sprang overheard from
this vessel and reached you Just in time.
1t was bravely done, dear, but you must
90 to sleep now and think no more about
it. Mr.. Haynes was picked up by pass
| ing boat" and Mrs. Meredith kissed the
pale face on the pillow and turned away.
| ITO think of its being Jack Lawrence,
| whispered Nell to the pillow, beneath the
| friendly shelter of the quilt, land I've
! been so hateful to him and called him hor-
rid names too; but | won't do it again for
| he is a real hero and shall tell him l am
| sorry I've been so cross to him, the very
next time see him." with which consol-
| ing reflection she went to sleep.
The next day Nell was able to sit up and
| Jack sauntered into the cabin.
"Well, have you recovered from the eff
fects of your salt water splash?" he in
| quired.
| 80, Mr.. Lawrence, l have wanted so
much to see you since that night" she
said with her hands clasped and her brown
| eyes filed with tears at the recollection.
1T was horrible! The water was so dark
and cold and didn't want to drown and
death was so near to me. l thought of
