THE FIRST MeeRsCilAum PIPE,
Place Where Half the Pipes in the
World Are Nade-Amber and Clay.

Place Where Half the Pipes in the
World Are Nade-Amber and Clay.
Ruhla. mountain village in Thurin.
gia, is the place where most of the amber
and meerschaum is used, and where half
the pipes in the world are made. Like
Sheffield and Toledo, it was famous in
the middle ages for its arms and arinor,
but when the invention of gunpowder
made swords and breastplates useless, the
attention of the people was turned to the
manufacture OF meerschaum pipes with
amber stems. The first mcerschaum
pipe. it is said. was carved from a piece
of clay brought as curiosity from Asia
Minor, and presented 20 the Duke of
Wallenstein. 1t was not intended for
use, but the dukes fancy directed the
most famous carver in the place to
fashion the snowy clay in the form Of
his favorite pipe as an ornament. In q
sportive mod he filled the plaything with
tobacco, and was 80 pleased that he never
put any o.her pipe to his lips again. All
the knights at once followed the fashion.
and the crusaders to the Holy Land made
1t a rule to send or bring home with them
pieces of the clay to Ike carved by the
Thuringian artists.
Ever since has the little town Of Ruhls
been the headquarters of the meerschaum
and amber manufacture. Meerschaum h

tria is the owner OF pipe that is said to
be worth 10000 forins, made of the
largest piece of pure meerschaum that
was ever found, and having a stem Of
amber to match. The trouble with meer.

The Married Bellies Relsn.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Society is not all joyto debutante
nowadays; the married bellies carry
of the honors. That is why SO many
of the young girls OF Philadelphia and
New York co abroad and stay till
they are old enough to win some at
tention here. There isn't one Of them
who stands ghost OF chance against
the perfectly dressed, well-poised
brides of three winters. An eighteen
year-old is nowhere when they are
about. There might as well be no
balls or assemblies for that matter as
far as tho younger fry are concerned,
and as for the private entertainments
it's much the same thing there.
The "buds" take what partners are
left when the young married women
have had their choice. Girls are not
the fashion any more. The married
bellies dance lust as well, dress more
richly and talk better. IL doesn't
COMPROMISE the well.dressed young
man from the bachelor apartment
which he is in no haste to desert Tor
benediets' quarters to dance attend
ance upon them. and take it all in all,
now is the married bellies reign. Tns
popular unmarried women who can
hold their own in the bathrooms are
of more than one seasons standing
The debutantes are eagerly heralded,
the society world is anxious to SEE
them, families clamor for the privilegt
of chaperoning them, but after al
they are likely to enjoy their second
and third seasons better, and to gel
more desirable partners than in thsiI
first.

Lake Glazier now Claimed as a.
Source of the mississippi

From the Philadelphia times.
The newly-found source of the Miss
issippi is sparkling little gem OF a
lake situated above and beyond Lake
Itasca. Il nestles among the pines of
an unfrequented and wild region OF
Minnesota, many milesfrom the near I
est white settlement and just on the
dividing ridge which forms the great
water shed OF North America. With
in 4. few miles of it can be found lakes
and streams whose waters are tribu-
tary to the Red river o. the north,and
the Yellowstone, thus reaching the
Sen thousands ofmiles from themouth
OF the mighty Mississippi, which flows
in trickling brook from Lake
Glagier. This lake, discovered to DO
the true source OF the greatest
river of North America by Capt, VIII
lard Glazier, on the 22nd of July,
1881, il about mile and half in
greatest diameter, and would benearly
round in shape but for single prom.
ontory, whose rocky shores give it IN
outline the shape OF heart. The
waters OF the lake are exceedingly
clear and pure, coming from springs,
some being Mt the bottom, but the
three most prominent rise few miles
back in low, wet land and flow into
the lake in little rills. On the very
point of the promontory is a spring,
whose waters are as cold as ice and
ut which Capt. GlaEier's weary party
slaked their thirst whileexploring the
shores OF the new lake. So lonely is
the region around the lake that for
fourteen days not even a redskin was
seen, and wearied by the hardships OF
this rough country, yet with q feeling
of having added something to geogra..
phical knowledge, Capt. GlaEier and
his party were glad TO come into con-
tact again with their fellow.creatures
This, in time, becomes covered with
dirt, and by and by grass aud weeds,
and bushes grow on it, There are

Last December when corn was sell
ing from I5 to 20 cents, we advised
the farmers to hold on, il they posi-
bly, could. and we even besought the
neighbors OF such men as were cramp-
cd and compelled to sell, to aid them.
until corn would sell for what it cost.
How have things workedf In the
commercial department OF The Regis
ter, it will be seen for the past week
there has been q sharp demand for
corn at 40 TO AS cents.
and farmers are now holding
for better prices. We want to see ths
day in Iowa, when every farmer will
resolve not to sell q hushel OF corn
for less than so cents, and be able to
stsnd by it. For iorty years in Iowa.
farmers have been getting rich by the
rapid advance in the price OF their
lands. The time has come when they
must rely on the product OF those
farms and have as much for their
corn, wheat, pork and beef as it costs;
And to this end. we demand q united
action OF the farmers. IL is what
other industries do, and farmers
should not be the last to defend their
riahts.-Des Moines Register.

Little children should be allowed to
