Cured To me that the Gossipor might

old at least as the fourteenth century, for
1t was about that time that it, came to
be generally used. They had many cur
ious customs in those days at least they
seem very odd to us who read about them
in these closing days of the nineteenth
century. Among those customs, which
appear To have been a matter of law, was
one that permitted the manufacturers of
pins 10 dispose of their wares in open
shop only on the first and second days
of January Of each year. The money that
women saved from their household ex-
pcnses or that was given them to make
purchases with ON such occasions was
called "pin money. The term has
since come down and with the passage of
years has taken on broader significance
so that it is now applied to any allowance
made by will, contract, marriage settle
ment or gift 10 "a woman for the qualif- |
cation of her fancies and not necessary To |

who has sought TO find the origin of the
term that when pins tecame cheap

is still i'm almost daily use.

Small CaIiber Rifle Wounds.

Hunters have given the 80 Caliber
smokeless powder rifles pretty thor
ough trial during the last year, and most
of them are satisfied with it's work on
game in cases where a soft nose bullet
was used. A hard nose bullet from the
80 caliber rife, it appears, when it hits
a deer passes through, leaving a pin
hole, " and causes the deer to run all
the faster. With soft nose bullet, that
curls over on hitting the flesh, the
effect is usually deadly.
W. T. Carlin tells in Recreation about
shooting a grizzly bear with a soft nose
bullet of 80 caliber. One shot hit the
bear in the shoulder and smashed both
shoulders to pieces. " The shock ICON
gested the blood clear back to her
hams" And another shot in the head
broke the bones into Is pieces, besides
splinters. An elk, shot through the
shoulders, leaped up and fell dead. The
bullet hit no bones, but stopped under
the skin on the far side, Antelopes shot
almost anywhere i'll the body fell with
in 20 yards, seldom stopping the bullet.
The holes the bullets made were small
at the entering point, but where the
bullets came out one could frequently
put doubled fist into the wound. Com
monty the wound was two inches across. |
A single hard nose bullet fired from
mannlicher rife at rhinoceros passed
lengthwise through it, killing it, and
then through another ones shoulders,
killing it too. Tigers shot through the
body sickencd at once when a soft nose
bullet was used, while deer of all sorts
were knocked down by the force of the
bullets, and not often were able to get
to their feet again.
The bullets that mushroom come out
in different shapes. Some fly to pieces,
only shreds of the metal coating re-
manning on the battered butt, the lead
being found, in tiny splinters, scattered
in the flesh in the path of the bullet.
Some bullets curled back, looking like
toadstools with rounded tops, but these
hit no bones The bones are shattered,
