THE 'BOWIE KNIFE. History of the Terrible Weapon a4 III Originator. Ilistory of a brave people's weapons Is always interesting. It illustrates their character. "The nation which shortens its weapons lengthens its boundaries," said a great author.

Though everyone has heard of the Howie knife, little is known of its origin or history. Yet its fame is as wide as that of the old-time twenty-two-inch Soman sword. Two states claim the birthplace of James Bowie Tennessee and Maryland and the question has never been quite definitely settled. Hut he gave the name to a weapon as deadly as any that lias ever been forged. When Louisiana became a state of the Union it was admitted under some peculiar conditions.

The one bearing upon this article was that all Spanish and French grants of land should be recognized by the United States as valid wherever they could be established by the old colonial records of Spain and France. This peculiar feature created the Bowie knife and gave its originator a national renown. Shortly after Louisiana became a state the old Spanish and French records created a deal of trouble. It frequently happened that a planter who had taken up a large tract of land and fairly opened it out as a plantation would learn that it was claimed by some one under an old colonial grant. James Bowie was a very frequent claimant under these old laws.

Several capitalists of the time had sent him to Havana, where the old rpapers of the Spanish colony of Louisiana were kept, and caused careful transcripts of them to be made. They appointed as thoir agent to put them in possession of these properties James Bowie. In these early days it did not at any time take much provocation to bring on "a personal encounter," as a fight to the death was euphoniously entitled. A man who had been to the trouble of opening up an estate only to find it claimed by a lot of people he did not know was generally pretty ready to fight for it, whether a fight would settle the question or not. The consequence of this state of things was that Mr.

James Bowie and his two brothers, Stephen andoRczin Howie, had on hand almost constantly some sort of "difficulty" that had to be fought out with deadly weapons. This was before the days when the percussion cap was in general use, and the smaller pistols of tho period were flint locks, inconvenient to carry and not very reliable. So the knife had to be used when one wanted a really trusty weapon. Mr. Howie worked out with a pockctknife and shingle his idea of a weapon that would be about the proper thing for the business he had in hand and it was made by the local blacksmith at Shreveport, after this model and he carried it for years.

About 1830. however, he heard of a New Orleans cutler, a Spaniard named Pedro, who was making some knives of a wonderful kind and temper. They could be driven through a silver dollar without damage to point or edge. Mr. Howie at once availed himself of the professional services of this artist, who made him a knife which was a marvel of temper and beauty.

The blade was nine inches long, 'and blade and handle together measured fifteen inches. This weapon was used by him in nineteen encounters and it was the one that was in his stiffening hand when, with six dead Mexicans about him, showing the evidenco of his fatal skill, he was found dead at the Alamo. Howie's method of using the knife was one peculiar to himself. He did not hold it in his hand witli the long point downward, but grasped the handle as a swordsman would grasp the hilt of his sword. He always struck at the neck of his man and aimed for the jugular and seldom missed his coup.

In the most famous of his battles, the one fought on Natchez island, an island in the Mississippi river almost opposite the city of Natchez, he cut two men's heads almost off, giving each only a single sweeping blow. In this fight there were seven men engaged. Among them was James Madison WellS who a few years ago -was so well known throughout the country as the president of the board of IS76-7. Howie himself was very dangerously wounded, but managed recover, thanks to a marvelous constitution and careful nursing. While down on the ground, with "an antagonist on top of him who weighed thirty ponnds more than Howie did, the indomitable lighter managed to get his left arm around hisne-iny's neck.

Then, with a sudden right-hand cut, he severed the other man's jugular with an awful slash, and was almost smothered by the terrible out-gush of blood that poured from the wound. Howie only weighed onehundrcdand forty pounds when at his prime. lie was a quiet, soft-voiced man, who never drank nor dissipated, in any way. He possessed enormous physical strength for his size and wasas quick and lithe as a wild-cat and ns game. He was a terror to all the "hard cases" from Louisville to New Orleans.

"In 1630," said Hen. H. G. Humphries, talking of Howie at Mississippi, "the Methodists about Church Hill, were holding their annual meeting. They had been a good deal disturbed by the crews of rough flitboatmcn.

a large number of whose boats wero lying in the river below the town. One morning after service was ended number of gentlemen held a meeting to decide upon some measures to abate this trouble. Among them the parson, who was a new-comer, noticed a small man, whose only peculiarity was a pair of steely, blue-ringed eyes eyes like a cat. I will attend the services to-night, said he in a low, gentle voice, 'nnd will help you to settle nny difficulty that may This seemed very satisfactory to those present, but the clergyman forgot to ask who ho was. "The evening service had begun.

tut as the preacher was about giving out the second h3mn a big Kentucky flatboatman btaggercd up in front of the pulpit and gave a Choctaw war-whoop. In a second the little man had him by the collar with his left hand, nnd in his right had a knife, with its point against the boatman's brawny throat." If you say another word or make the slightest noise, you fool, I'll drive this knife through your neck from car to The big man trembled like a leaf and silently took a seat, hile the other, putting his knife out of sight, joined with great fervor in the singing of a hymn. There was never a quieter meeting than that held thereafter. 'Who was the gentleman whoso speedily settled the difficulty asked the minister when the service ended. 'Don't you his friend replied.

'That was James Washington Post. MEETINGS WITH A BEGGAR. Ob Was Surprising, nnd the Other More Surprising Still. One of the most peculiar beggars in the metropolis mav be found almost any evening parading up and down the Bowery, with occasional wanderings on tho side streets. He is a very tall, gaunt man, with deep-set eyes, sharp features, a very gruff voice, and a manner which, to put it mildly, may be called abrupt.

Unlike the ordinary beggar, he does not accost every man who comes along, but picks his men according to some process of selection which is probably a trade secret. For fifteen or twenty minutes he will saunter along, speaking to no one, then suddenly he will dart up to a stranger, thrust his face dow close to the man, and say something in a low tone. The peculiar part of it is that he rarely fails to get money. A Sun reporter who had noticed this peculiar mendicant a dozen times, but had never been approached by him before, met him on the Bowery a few nights ago. The beggar was walking along with contemplative air.

When his eye feU on the reporter his air suddenly became business-like, and rushing up to the reporter he said sharply: "How'ro fixed fer cash, young feller?" "Fairly well," replied the reporter, taken off his guard. Then recovering himself, he added: "I don't see that it's any any of your business, however." "Oh, well," said the man, with a nonchalant air, "I don't know but what y' might wanter lend a feller a quarter." "What do you want to do with a quarter?" "Buy whisky. Do I look like a mug who'd try to buy champagne with a quarter?" There wns something so attractive and frank in the man, so much of savoir faire about this tramp of the Bowery, that tho reporter decided to "lend" him the desired quarter. Three nights later the reporter met his man on Grand street, rand approaching him, said: "When are you going to pay me back that loan?" The beggar looked around in astonishment. Then a grim smile relaxed his features.

"You're the mug that giv up a quarter on the Bowery, ain't you?" he observed. "I don't s'pose you'd ask it baok unless you wanted it." And, to the intense amazement of the reporter, the man, producing from a pocket of his ragged clothes a fistful of small change, selected two dimes and a nickel, put them in the reporter's hand, and departed whistling a cheerful ditty.

linldness May 11 Cured by Grafting Birthmark Removed. So life be left in our bodies, no matter if they be hacked or hewed or maimed or broken, the surgeon will set hopefully about the work of repair. The process of grafting animal tissue is now carried to such extent that the deficiency of one creature is made good by taking a piece or part of another. A disfiguring birthmark on the face of was recently cut away, and a patch of skin taken from the arm of the mother was transplanted to cover the wound. A man so frightfully burned as to lose the greater part of his epidermis was successfully re-covered from frogskin Oculists have taken cornea from the eyes of rabbits, cats or dogs, to replace and make good the vision of human beings.

That wonderful fiber, tho nerve, has also yielded itself to the skillful touch of science. Tho nerves may be patched and pieced. The nerves of brutes have been successfully joined to the stumps of severed nerves oi men. Baldness nmy be cured by grating. A New York physician has recently repaired ravages of this kind by taking grafts from the pationt's own scalp, where time had spared his locks and afterward eking out the supply by portions taken from the head of another person, doubtless selecting hair of the proper color.

These grafts were cut up 1)3 means of a punch, and included not only the thickness of skin but also subcutaneous tissues beneath which left thein fully a quarter of an inch thick. Holes corresponding in size to those left after the removal of tho grafts ere, of course, made in the scalp for their reception. All the grafts united well, without suppuration or untoward results, and bore hair luxuriantly. Even the bones, where they hao been splintered by accident or destroyed by disease, may be replaced with better bones and become incorporated with the complete osseous structure. In the light of such surgical achievements the mysterious creation of woman in tho garden of Eden loses a part of its incomprehensibility.

The hurtsand ailments of our poor humanity are helped and healed with a skill that approaches magic. As Prospero could see his goblins at work to grind the joints of his enemies with dry convulsion, and to shorten their sinews with aged cramps, so the good magicians of the scalpel can now undo the demoniac work of the goblins, who apparently have never left off grinding men's joints and shortening thoir sinews. In these days of wonderful scientific discovery the surgeon easily keeps step with advancing knowledge. Waverly Magazine. SUPERSTITIONS OF BARSERS.

Signs, Omens, and Trlnk "Which Bring Good or Bad Luck. "I knew that would draw them in," said a barber the other day as customers entered his shop after a lull in business. "Don't you know what I mean? Why, when trade's dull just commence to hone your favorite razor and you'll see how it will bring customers in. It's a sure charm. Superstitious? Well, I should say so.

It would be difficult to find a more superstitious lot than we colored barbers. Why, I know plenty of barbers who will not permit the hair cut from customers to be swept out before the day's work is done. They say it's sure bad luck. Now, you couldn't get me to shavo a man on credit the first thing in tho morning. I'd close up mj shop first I'd not give much for my day's business if I did not leave some money in the drawer over night I never take out all the money.

I always leaves a cent or two there for good luck. Here you, Jack, next time you want the cologne bottle don't step over my footstool or I'll have to go for you. Excuse me, customer, but it's most aggravating to have a fellow do something that might turn the whole run of business for the day. "Yes, that is a good razor; but there is a good reason for it It had more trouble with that piece of steel than any other I ever had; but following the old custom which has been of so much use to me, I waited till the day Cloonan was hanged, then I gave that razor a good honing, counting the times I passed it over the stone until I reached a certain number, which is my charm. That's why it's so good, and it will remain that way for months yet without being honed.

A rafcor honed ou the day a man is hanged always turns out excellently." As the boy was brushing ray coat I asked him: "Are you superstitious?" He looked blank, apparently not understanding the meaning of the word. "What makes you have bad luck in the shop?" I ventured further. "Bad management," was the reply.
