PRESIDENTIAL SALUTE:
'vftiy does a Presidential or National Salute consist of 21 guns? The
United States follows ttye mother country in a great many things# In 1776,
twenty-one guns was the British national salute, made up of seven guns for
each ofthe three countries, Ireland, Sotland and England (Wales counting
with England as one.) Three sevens, twenty-one guns, on their uniting as
one kingdom. Twenty-one was also the age of majority# Some seem to be
lieve that the figures in the date of the year of Independence, 1-7-766,
(adding)twenty-one, have given the number of guns# (--Bannerman*s Catalogue
of 1922)
BAYONET:
The origin of the word is disputed, but generally it is acceded
that the name is derived from the town of Bayonne, France, where a short
dagger, called "Bayonette", was first made toward the end of the 15th cen
tury, These early bayonets consisted of a steel dagger fixed in a wood
en plug which was inserted in 'ohe muzzle after firing. --(Encyc.Brit.)
