FIREARMS OF EARLY SETTLERS.
The Clumsy Weapon With Which New
Fpglanders De ended Themselves.

The Clumsy Weapon With Which New
FDglanders De ended Themselves.
From The Ctdutduquan.
The precise population Of New England,
either Indian or white, at tho time of
Philips war cannot be stated, but for the
purpose Of war it may be said that the
forces on one side and on the other were
equal. At that time the Indians were as
we'll used to firearms Us the whites, but the
firelock Of those days was but an inefficient
weapon compered with the muske5 Of later
times or with the rifle Of to-day.
1t seems certain that in Europe fllntlocks
had been introduced before this time: but,
on the whole, the concurrence of evidence
shows that such locks wore not used in the
civil war in England. and that both the
kings party aud the Puritans still relied on
the matchbox. The fern OF this eau be
readily ex aleined to any person who has
seen the old flintloc!l Of the present century.
A hammer-a good deal larger than the
hammer which efterward held the flint, but
quite like it--had a crew which frightened
or liosened the hold which two piece OF iron
had upon a match.
Each soldier was obliged to carry some
yards Of this match with him, and when
the battle began he lighted tie piece Of this
match which was fixed III the hammer Of
the gun. \ pan which held powder, OK
actly as the pan of a hintlcc ok afterward
did was in front OF the hammer, with
cover projecting, from which short horn
ran up nearly vertical, to be opened by the
hammer when the soldier pulled the trig
ger The fire Of the match communicated
with the powder and the gun went Off
This was q sufficiently complicated way
in which men should go to battle, perhaps
in wilderness, where even the procuring
Of fire at that time was attended with some
difficulty. The accounts Of skirmishes of
those times are full Of occasions when a
shower put a stop TO the whole battle. This
is because the fire OF the matches was ex-
tinguished by the rain.
10 change this rather clumsy lock into a
filntlock simply required that flint of suf-
f1cient size should be screwed into the ham,
mer in the place made for the match. The
flint, then striking upon the cover of the
pan, made a spark which fell at the moment
tho pan opened into the powder. Eventually
these locks were made with great precision,
SO that the gun missed fire very seldom.
l have no doubt than one and another
soldier in Philips war found for himself
that flint Indian arrowhead screwed in the
place of his match could be made to answer
the purpose of firing the powder much moro
readily than the match itself could do.
similar invention however, as have said,
had already been made in Europe, 80 that it
is thought that hintlock guns had been
found in France as early as 1910. In 1872,
however, Just before the war with Philip
began, the law Of Massachusetts and the
provision made for her soldiers still re-
ouired the uss of matchlocks.

BY RAIL TO JERUSALEM.
Next Spring the Holy City VIII be Con-
nected With Joppa.
From the London Standard.

From the London Standard.
The first railway TO Jerusalem will, we are
told, be opened this year. 1t is
a short line, running only from
Joppa, tee nearest point on the Mediter-
raneau, and intended to accommodate the
growing passenger and other traffic between
that place and the Holy City. The work of
construction is being carefully carried out
by French company, who began having
down the line in April, $780, 1t is fully
expected that the speculation will be
paying one. TIE company anticipates, at
all events, making large profits, after
paying the shareholders guarantee inter-
est of ) per cent 1t is stated that
over 10000 persons land at Joppa
every year in order to make pilgrimage
to Jerusalem and other spots celebrated in
sacred history. The number of steamers
and other vessels putting into the port of
Joppa is now upward of 800 year, the des-
tination of most of the passengers ana
merchandise they convey being the capital of
Palestine In evidence of the recent rapid
growth of the traffic it may be mentioned
that Joppa has trebled its population within
the past thirty years. Tourists will be able
70 take a return ticKet from the port in
question and Jerusalem for 20 francs, and,
what is more, they will be able to do the
Journey in a far shorter time with infinitely
greater safety than hitherto. The rush of
tourists from all parts of the civilized world
to Jerusalem will, il the expectations of the
promoters are fulfilled be something phe-
nomenal in the near future.

happens that the students at Bryn Mawr
are not divided into the four classes

students ara called freshmen, however,
partly in distinguishing them from the
other students and partly from a vague
feeling that new students must naturally be
"fresb."
Every student is given a choice among
several carefully considered plans of study
so that those who prefer the old-fashioned
classical course may pursue it, but, on the
other hand, other groups Of studies based on
science aud history, or modern languages
and literature, may be chosen by those who
do not care for the old curriculum. No

THE SUNDAY NEWSPAPERS.
The size of the Sunday newspapers is be-
ing gradually reduced. The largest of them
can now be carried in a shawl strap and
can be read in something less than a week.
At one time it was expected the Sunday
newspapers of New York would soon reach
100 pages in size. but the reading public re-
belled. They were getting too much for
their money. Most OF the Sunday papers
have been reduced to twenty-four pages
and some Of them will be reduced still
more but with the reduction in size has
come improvement in quality.
There is now greater variety in the
contents of the papers. They no longer
devote three or four pages TO ono article,
but tell the longest story In as many
columns. Once there was great rivalry
among the papers TO see which could print
the biggest Sunday edition. Now the rivalry
seems to be to print the greatest number and
most interesting short articles on current
topics. The change has been well received
by the reading public.
