London tnuseuius ai'e full of the weapons of kinKS. generals and fam- ous men, but Ilobinson Cruso^'K nun Is still in private hands. It has just returned to Liondon to the custody of il.s owner, Mr. Borens, after a tour of tho museums of the lirili.sh Isie.s. It Is true that Robinson Crusoe is a action character, and that Uefbe invented hlin, but any school room in the kingdom can tell you iu one breatbles.s phrast! that Crusoe is founded on fact and really was a liv- ing person. The original Robin.son Criisoo was Alexander Selkirk, and this is the gun with which he was put ashore on the desert island ot Ivan Fernandez, 400 miles from the Chili coast. Life al sea in the days of William of Orange and Good Queen Anne was iio smoother than it is now. Alex- ander Selkirk behaved as badly to his ship's captain as he did to liin father, and was put ashore on the desert island as a reward for wiek- eiiiK'ss. He Was landed with a bag (it bullels, a pound of powder, and a liint-lock luuskul. Mr. Kaudol jh Berens has his nius- kri lo-itay. Ho came by it by pure ( ..li.'etor's luck. He was visitinj! Ox- ford and liie Ashinolean Museum in l;'i82. Tue porter of the museum showed him round. Mr. Berens re- inarkod that there were few antiques to be bought in Oxford then, and the iiorter agreed, but mentioned that he bad been offered an old flintlock ;; an which was still in his lodge. Mr. Borens examined the piece, and was surprised to hnd that lotigh- ly chip curved on the stock was the name A. Selkirk, and in smaller let- ters. Largo, N.B. On the other side was the date Anna R. 1701. Accord- ing to our history books of to-day tlii.s date is wrong, but according to the old calendar it is correct. On the wooden heel of the butt is the legend: "With three drains powther, three ounce haile, Uame me well and prymo me; To kill I will not fail." Mr. Berens bought the gun for 25s., and did his best to trace its history. He found that tho piece came from near Clapham, and it is known (hat Alexand*!r Selkirk owned a tavern there, but died at sea, aged 47. as lieutenant aboard liis Majes- ty's ship Weymouth in 1723. The weapon has been exhibited at the city ot Bristol and other exhibi- tions, and is insured for no less than £2,000. Cnss Worils In Print. The London Briti.sh public is not so sensitive about a cuss word or two these days. Lately some of the reformers and reeonstiuclionists have been sowing their wild oaths all over their spei.>che;;. and they're being reprinl- ed in. the press Just exactly as they fell froiii the orator's lips. "Hell" in the newspapers of to-day is "hell," not "h-1," which was an anaemic rciidoring of a lino exple- tive, considerate of the feoliugs of old-tiiuo naders. (len.
