drew up and saluted him, as was his
friendly habit The two then journeyed
on together. Political topics crept
in, and the man on foot strongly CEN

He then proceeded to quote some per-
sonal stories against the President.
"Do you know Mr.. Jefferson, per-
sonallyT inquired the man on horse

"No, nor don't want to-"
"But is It fair play to repeat such
stories, and then not dare to meet the

The First Meerschaum Pipe.

In 1928 there lived in Pesth, the cap
ital of Hungary, Karol Kowates.
shoemaker, whose ingenuity
in cutting and carving on
wood, etc., brought him into con-
tact with Count Andrassy, with whom
he became favorite. The Count, on
his return from a mission to Turkey,
brought with him a piece of whitish
clay, which bad been presented to him
as a curiosity, on account of its extra
ordinary light specific gravity. 1t
struck the shoemaker that, being por-
GUS, 1t must be well adapted for pipes,
as it would absorb the nicotine. The
experiment was tried, and Karol cut a
pipe for the Count and one for himself
But in the pursuit of his trade he could
not keep his hands clean, and many a
piece Of shoemaker's wax became at
tached to the pipe. The clay, however,
instead of assuming dirty appearance
when Karol wiped 1t Of, received,
wherever the wax had adhered to il,
clear brown polish, instead Of the dull
white ii previously had. Attributing
this change in the tint to its proper
source, he waxed the whole surface,
and, polishing the pipe again, smoked
1t, and noticed how admirably and
beautifully 1t colored; also, how much
more sweetly the pipe smoked after be-
ing waxed. Other noblemen, hearing
of the wonderful properties Of this sim
gular species of clay, imported 1t in
considerable quantities for the manu-
facture of pipes. The natural scarcity
of this much-esteemed article, and the
great cost Of importation, in those days
of limited facilities for transportation,
rendered Its use exclusively confined to
the richest European noblemen, until
1880, when it became more general
article Of trade. The first meerschaum
pipe made by Karol Kowates has been
preserved in the museum Of Pesth.-
