Golf

A gamo with history of moro than 400 years must necessarily have some interesting records Golf has been great ly liked by kings. In tho timo of James l it was generally praeticed by all classes. Tho unfortunate Charles I was devoted to golf While on visit in Scotland in 1641 as he was deeply en. gagged in a game news was brought him of the breaking out of rebellion in Ire land and tho royal golfer threw down his club and retired in great agitation to Holyrood House. When he was inn pfisoned at Newcastle, his keeper kind ly permitted him to tako recreation on tho golfng links with bis train It is said that Mary, queen of Scots, was seen playing golf in the field beside Seaton few days after tho murder of her hus. band. In 1887 magnificent gold medal was presented to St Andrews by Wil. liam ", to he played for annually One of the earlier kings forbade tho impor- tation of golf balls from Holland be- cause it took away ma small quantitio of gold and silver out of the kingdomo of Scotland . and at one time @golfo and futeball and other unproftablo games Were forbidden in England be- cause archery, so necessary in the de- fense eff the nation, was being neglect eel in their favor.-EXchauge

BUILDING GUNS MORE cHgApLY.
swede's Plan For Giving Twist tc
 Balls From Smooth Bore.

Swede's Plan For Giving Twist te
 Balls From a Smooth Bore.
 The very heavy cost of modern guns is largely due to the time and labol which are necessarily expended upon the operation of rifing them. The ma terial itself is relatively cheap, and : ritied gun, besides being much moro costly, is, other things being equal, more short lived than a smoothbore. Il is almost impossible so to make the gun and the projectile that the soft driving bands of the latter shali at the moment of discharge, accurately fit into tho grooves and lands of the bore and allow no gases to pass ahead When these gases do pass ahead of the proieetile, they score and damage the interior oi the gun, and where the new powders are used and the gases of combustion at. tain all enormous degree of heat the process of deterioration, especially in weapons of large caliber, is often very rapid
 A Swedish engineer, ". T. Unge, has devised method whereby he hopes VI atANN AAgN Pilj NitG N0rt Qi JititlG4 Hut also the interior wear and tear for which rifling is responsible. He proposes te construct all guns with smoothboros and to fit tic projectiles with gas checks, which shall render practically impos- sible for any gases to rush past them In order to convey to tho projeetilo an axially rotary motion, such as is at pres ent conveyed to it hy tue action of the rifling, he has invented a mechanical arrangement which, at the instant of firing, gives to the gun itself the rotary motion. This may be either constant or increased. He has satisfied himself that the effect upon the projectilo is exactly the same as is produced by tbe constant or increasing twisi of an ordinary rifled gun, and ho is of opinion that the adop- tion of his system, while giving equal or even improved accuracy of fire, will reduce the cost of heavy guns by one half and add enormously to their ellour- ance.

IMPORTANCE OF H1RH0KI

IMPORTANCE OF H1RHONF.
 There is, of course, no use trying to conceal the fact that there are wide differences of belief in the Dem ocratie party on the question of our finances. There is no true test of party fealty involved, since there has been no authoritative, emphatic national utterance binding on the members. The Republicans are equally iuharmonious, though not so notably divided numerically. What is the course of wisdom for the Democracy in this posture of affairs? Is it to encourage personal biekerings and animosities among leaders-to separate into discord- ant factions under opposing gen erals? We think not. Let the am bitions, stratagems and maneuvers of office seekers of all grades be ignored OF put aside, and public matters be discussed without aeri- mony as between friends claiming and according sincerity and honest motives.
 It should be remembered that it is only by the aid of the utmost har- mony of action that the Republicans  can be thwarted in their further ef- forts to oppress the people as they have oppressed them heretofore. The fight the Dmocrats should make is with the enemy and not among themselves, and it should, therefore, be made under the banner of a whole host, and not the flags of warning captains engaged in selfish, factional strife.

FAMOUS ENGLISH SWORDS.
Some Noticeable Weapons That Are Ez
 hibited In tine Tower of London.

Some Noticeable Weapons That Are EX-
 hibited In tine Tower of London.
 Whoever visits the London Tower may enjoy a veritablo feast of swords, but amid the numberless array of Weaps ons there are ono or two that arc espe- eially worthy of notice. There is the sword of state, which is girt on the monareh's side after his anointing at tho imposing ceremony of coronation, which girding is more bonored in tho breach, one would suppose, when the monarch is lady. The sword is first oonseoratod by the primate, and by him handed to the lord chamberlain, who completes the function. It is two hand ed weapon, with rich decorations on hilt and pommGl and scabbard. Of scarcely less importance is the sword of mercy, . borno before the sovereign in the eoro- nation procession. This sword is named Curtana, but though undoubtedly very ancient it can hardly claim to be the original Curtana forged by the famous Munifiean.
 This original Curtana was the magic weapon of Ogier tho Dano, bold knigha of Charlemagne most warlike days. Our own Gurtana is ill any case many centuries old, It is square pointed, with the look as though the point had been broken short; hence possibly its name. A fine gold wire covers its handle, and the scabbard is remarkably ornate. Two other swords are carried at the corona tion eerolaony-swords symbolieal of spiritual and temporal justice, the first with an oBtuse point, the latter sharp. Curtana and these two justice swords are net often called upon to make pub lie appearance. 1t is happily more than a half century since they were last re quirod at q coronation, but whenever the sovereign opens parliament in per son the sword Of state first mentioned is called from it's repose.
 The lord mayors sword is even more familiar te the general public, and not only London, but most other corpora tions, have their sword and sword bear. er It is q picturesque survival of the middle ages, which one would regret to see abolished-partof of the ritual of state customs, which ritual is by no means meaningless. Public action must often be of q fguratiye character, Such is the mode by which the city of London some. times does honor to those who have ren- defed the nation good service, presenting to them swords of honor. These civic swords have boen given to mon like Lord Napier, Lord Clyde, Lord Wolse- ley. Wellington received one in his day, and SO did the Prussian Butcher Lon don Standard
