THE BEST TOBACCO PPE.-H all pipes were equally curable, they might be class ed, according to their merit, as follows :: l, soft earthen pipe; 2, meerschaum; 3, hard earthen pipe, white or colored; 4, wooden pipe; 5, porcelain pipe; 6, metal lie pipe.
 The white earthen pipe, porous and permeable to liquids, is put first because it IS q good absorber of nicotine; the me- tallic pipe is put last because it allows all the obnoxious products formed during the combustion of the tobacco to reach the mouth of the smoker. The meerschaum, which immediately follows the clay pipe, deserves its place only on condition that it is not too old. If it is seasoned 1t is as bad as a wooden or porcelain pipe. The sea- soziag. of which the poets have snng, may be fall of charms for the ameteur to the hygienist it simply indicates that the pipe has had its day and is now saturated with tobacco juice, and that it must be replaced by another one, or be passed through the fire to purify it, as is done in the coffee houses of Holland. Every old pipe, brown ed with long use, leaves on the lips and tongue an acid and strong smelling liquid which irritates the tissues and corrodes the mucous secretions. When it has reached this condition the finest meerschaum is no better than the meanest scorcll- throat. h. dependently of the substance, the form of the pipe has an influence on the propor- tion of noxlous ingredients which tobacco smoke contains. Turkish and Indian pipes, in which tobacco'is burned slowly, dis charging its smoke through liquid, ar rest large proportion of the poisonous ingredients. The bowl of the German pipe retains the greater part of the oily products the Dutch and English clay pipes retain less. The metallic pipes of Thibet, becoming heated, carry to the mouth not only brown liquids, but also Q smoke hot enough to burn the tongue.

STORAGE OF TEA,

Since the era of steamers the fact is un- doubted that cargoes do not arrive in near ly as good condition as in the old clipper days. Steam is about the commonest form of damage known, and it is surprising how s1nall an escape will taint large quantity of tea. On the other hand, dam age which is attributed to steam often has nothing to do with it. Many teas do not keep, and they commence to ferment al- most from the day they are packed, and in proportion as the style of make of the ar ticle falls off year by year so does its pow CT of keeping. The tight-rolled, hard | Ningchows of years ago went off very lit tie, and the merchants of the last gener- ation almost classed tea with wine and ci- gars, and considered it rather the better for age; whereas, nowadays it is looked upon, and properly, as perishable article ed in wooden cases with close joints, and astonishing how it will get trainted.
 A case was recently seen where whole warehouse caught the smell and flavor of oranges merely, it is said, from oranges having been carried through part of the building. We have also heard it stated that in one or two warehouses where wine IS slowed all the teas run mo1e or less ''winey." This flavor when natural to the tea is not considered objectionable, but when caused by any foreign contact prices are heavily affected.
 In household cupboards tea may often be seen slowed next to cheese, apples, lemons and other highly y-scented articles of consumption, and then the housekeeper is surprised at the various favors combined in single cup of "unrivalled early pick ed." It may be argued that flavor of cheese is preferable to none at all, but as "good wine needs no bush, D so does good tea require no favoring; and good tea can still be bought if the public will only pay fair price for it. The experience gained by the case in point should impress on all retailers the necessity of carefully select ing the place for slowing tea, removing it from any stock likely to exercise any in furious effect, 8 precaution neglected by many grocers, to their own no small det- riment -t ."

When the New York Sun reporter called,

When the New York Sun reporter called, the dealer in musical instruments was strumming on 8 profusely ornamented banjo. "We can give you more strictly professional one, he remarked to his cus- toner, "but this style has the call for par Tor use. The difference is that the stage banjo is even more heavily ,ornamented than this one has more side screws and jewelry. The tone is the same. Stage banjos sound louder because professio als pound them with thimble, which they wear upon their right foreinger. That practice would not be 8 good one while playing for a small party. The custom CT decided on the parlor banjo, bought bag for it and extra strings, and left twen- ty-two dollars and half with the dealer. ssIll carry it home myself" he said, as he took his departure The dealer turned to the reporter ''The instrument is now ill high favor, and to be able to rattle eff Babylon is Falling or the 'Rattlesnake Jig Is just the thing. Several fellows have carried banjos abroad in the past three years, and Parisians take to them. Some of our young ladies of society are very fair players, and the picture of an American belle picking the banjo for group of fashionable listeners is by no means caricature. This small style of instrument - which countrymen always take for a boys banjo-was gotten up ex- pressly for ladies, though gentlemen very often use them. It is the fact of woman playing banjoes which has so largely in- creased their popularity. They are the fashion. A gentleman does not like to take his banjo to party, but when lady produces one he considers it fine oppor- tunity to show his strength concerning the 'Suwanee River, or 'Nicodemus Johnson If the ladies had no banjo in the house these chances would not occur There are many forms and styles of banjos. I think there Is little real difference ill them. The main point is to have the the strings of good quality, and a good parchment head, stretched as tightly as it will bear. You can make almost any properly pro- portioned banjo talk if the skin is tight and hard. We can give you a very good ban jo for seven dollars, as good as those sold for twenty dollars. It is considered quite 8 nice thing for young man to make a small banjo for his sweetheart. He buys the materials, and works them up to suit his fancy. In these cases the article is likely to cost him about thirty dollars. The latest idea in getting up presenta- tion for girl is to buy one ready made and inlay it with colored woods. There was good deal of this done last winter, and some of the results were very pretty. If you buy fve-dollar banjo, properly constructed, and pegs and tail-piece of ivory, and do little inlaying and carving, you will have an instrument worth from twenty-fv to fifty dollars"

But we have learned something of the reasons why the mys- terious tide rises and falls. Provided the great grams of the body not rreparably destroyed, med ical science always relieve, and often save. Yet reputable physician now adhsres to the bar barous and stupid processes of depletion, such as bleeding, by which it attempted to disease by reducing the patients ability to resist it. Nowa days do not tear down the fort to help the garri son-we strengthen it. 4

 ALBANY, March 20, 1884. Dr. D. Kennedy, RondOut, ~. F.:
 DEAR SIR: Let me tell you frankly that I have never been partial to proprietary medicines, as be- lieve the majority of them to be nothing better than methods of obtaining money from people whom suf- feling makes ready to catch at any hope of relief They are mean cheats and delusious. But your FA- VoRITE REMEDY know by happy experience to be a totally different thing. I had been a sufferer from gravel for years, and had resored to many em- inent physicians for relief, but permanent good came of it. About three years ago your RAVORITE REMEDY was recommended to me. I can give you the result in sentence: tried it and it cured me completely. I am confident it saved my life, You can use this letter if you thlnk best.
