the railway between Los Angeles and the

This was accomplished yesterday by the

A Madison street cigar man is author
ity for the statement that the better class
of smokers is returning to the pipe for
comfort. This is not only shown by the
demand for such goods, but by the nov.
elites that are being gotten out by French
factories as well as those in America.
There is no use of an American shut
ting his eyes to it. The French still lead
in everything that is novel and artistic,
and we follow. Hero is a French nov
city in the pipe line. 1t is a leather case.
It contains four French sweet briar
pipes. You see the variety of stems and
mouthpieces. 1t reminds you maybe
of a fine fishing tackle. You can have
your stems long or short, You can have
them straight or crooked. The artistic
smoker doesn't confine himself to one
pipe.
He takes one of these, for instance,
and smokes it one evening with n long
stem. He takes another the next even
ing with n short stem, and so on. You
viii notice, too, that by a curious ar
rangement these stems are SO construct
ed that 1t is impossible for the smallest
particle of nicotine to reach the lips of
the smoker. The outfit l show you costs
$50. Then there are others that contain
fewer pipes, and some contain but one
with different stems. Chicago Tribune.

What remains to be donei In the
fist place, 1t Is necessary to demonstrate
to the people the practicabTlity and the
fairness Of the reform methods, for
therein rest its maintenance and extern
sion. In the second place, every effort
should be made from year to year
to obtain appropriation sufficient TO
enable the civil service commission to
carry on their work successfully. In
the third place, we must seek the er
tension of the system by executive act,
which can reach almost every branch
that 1t is desirable to bring within the
law. and strive also by some practical
scheme to take tho fourth class post
masters out of politics.
1t is utterly impossible to apply to
fourth class postmaster, even II it were
desirable, the system of competitive
examinations, but It is quite possible to
take them out of politics, and to that
end every effort now should be direct
ed, for with the removal OF the So, 900
fourth class p~ostofHces from politics the
old system of patronage will be prac-
tically at an end.-Henry Cabot Lodge

A chemical lung is the latest thing
proposed for the ventilation of tunnels.
II was lately tested in London by four
teen scientists. A room Is by IS was
kept for an hour ut Il temperature Of 50
degs.. and the air was loaded with
impurities. The men of science were
now called upon to enter, and the air
was made still more impure by burning
sulphur and carbonic acid gas. Then
the chemical lung" or punkah, so
called, measuring 4 by 20. was set in
motion.
The temperature was o reduced to
IS degs.. and the air freed from all
impurities. Then fat was burned, to
test the machine for organic substances,
and the Jung was started up lust in

Yorker who was made aware OF 1t while
at one of the restaurants OF Paris not

who brought him the dainty viands
told the New Yorker that the walters
there put into n box all the fees
which they procure each day from their
customers, and that the sum total In
this treasury is evenly divided among
them at night. But" the New Yorker

they procured" We trust in each
