ALL" came to town. His horse stopped
in front of corner drug store, and re-
fused to 90 on. The farmer urged the
animal, and then proceeded to beat
him with rope, but without avail.
OF course hundreds of men came up
and offered advice. A baked horse is
perhaps more fruitful of suggestion
than anything else can hope to be.
One man told the farmer to twist his
tail; and another one said that bun

would have the desired effect. After

BRIAR ROOT PIPES.
Some OF Them are Made Of Druyere Root
and Some Not.

some OF Them arc Made OF Druyere Root
and Some Not.
Within two years pipe smoking has
quadrupled. People smoke pipes be-
cause by doing so they get better
smoke and pay nothing for it-next to
nothing as compared with cigars.
But the great thing, ifyou are going
in for pipe smoking. says the New
York Sun, is to know how to get a
pipe and what kind OF a pipe to get.
To begin with the day Of the meer-
schaum pipe has gone. Where one man
buys a meerchaum ten buy briar.
Briar pipes, or moro properly bruyere
pipes, are made of the wood and root
Of the bruyere bushes, and the south OF
France supplies nearly all the raw ma
terial for this now really great industry.
But you are not to suppose because
you are going in for a plain every day
briar pipe that you are going to get 1t
for small price. You can just get a
fairly good. straight, unornamented
briarwood pipe for a five-dollar bill.
If you want something first-class you
must pay from SIS to $28 for 1t. And
in these last named high priced pipes
it is not the amber .nouthpiece or the
silver ornamentation which costs the
money. 1t is the wood in the bowl
itself which is expensive.
1t should be borne in mind that a
pipe made from the bruyere wood and
the bruyere root are two different
things. The bruyere root which Is
the part OF it from which the pipes are
cut is gnarled, clumsy mass about as
big as big fist. 1t has three pecu-
liarities: 1t is very hard; 1t is at the
same time porous and will take on a
beautiful color, like meerschaum; 1t
will also take beautiful polish.
The bruyerc wood is coarser in grain
and is not porous. What isparticular-
ly looked at in briar root pipe is the
fineness of the grain and the beauty OF
the markings. These go to make up
the beauty of bit of bruyere root
just as the various grades OF crystalline
purity go to make up the value OF q
diamond. You cannot get a fine-grain-
ed, well-marked. straight pipe short Of
$15. 1t should be remembered, though,
that when you have bought pipe OF
this kind you have got pipe for life.
With ordinary care they never wear
out, and curious thing is that the
longer you smoke a bruyere root pipe
the sweeter it gets.
In this respect it is superior to q
meerschaum. A meerschaum is at its
best when you buy it. An aged meer-
schaum is sure to become more or less
"high" in odor.

REDPATH AND DAVIS.
Tho Intimacy Between the Abolitionlsti

Tho Intimacy Between the Abolitionlsts
and the Confederate Leader.
The career OF Mr.. Redpath was re-
markable for its vicssitudes, says the
Boston Herald. Though not an old
man at his death, he had been through
stranger and more marked extremes
of fortune and experience than most
men OF his generation. His connec-
ton with the underground railroad in
Kansas twenty-five years ago, and his
relations with John Brown. are well
known. They represent one phase OF
his life, but it was appointed for him
to have an experience with the leader
Of the pro-slavery cause In which his
position was absolutely unique. Nothing
he ever did was so unexpected as his
intimacy with Jefferson Davis two or
three years before his death. While con-
nected with the North American Review
1t became necessary for him to meet
Mr.. Davis in his own home. Two men
more unlike could not have been Sc
lected for companionship, but there
grew up such friendship between
oioHi Iud1 hi. hCupdIh uCCdhC tuc
assistant and adviser of Mr.. Davis in
preparation of his political memoirs
and was in the closest literary and
personal relations with the ex-confed-
crate chief until his death, still assist
ing Mrs. Davis after that event in the
preparation and final publication OF
the biography of her husband.
He made his mark as friend OF the
Irish as well as of the negro, but his
utilization with Mr.. Davis was the
strangest Of all strange experiences
through which he passed. The most
radical man ut the north and the most
radical man in the south met together.
and were closeted for weeks in the
same room, while going over events in
which each had been in conviction at
the furthest remove from the other,
and during all this companionship they
lived in entire harmony, and never
abused the courtesies of friendship. II
Mr.. Redpath's life-story could be fully
written out it would be the record of as
thrilling romances as were ever record
ed in a work of fiction. He was in
every respect unique and exceptional
man.

A Genuine English Burglar Prefers Hu'al
Work to Do
II is well-known fact said Captain
Lees the other day to San Francisco
Examiner man. that genuine English
burglar never robs in the city when he
can find a misunderstanding dwelling
out of town to operate on. This Is not
so much a matter Of caution, but proba-
bly arises from the fact that in Eng

possible English lords from the ladies
at the Palace for several days, while
they piped off the country. Finally
they marked with care a noble mansion
lust out of town. and the next night
they were on the ground and ready for
business. They waited until all the
lights were out and effected an entrance
in the basement without much trouble.
AS they proceeded cautiously upstairs
they became somewhat alarmed by the
tempest Of SHORES that came from the
second flyer.

They found the dining room at last
and softly pried open the p.ate-closet.

big keg of iron knives and forks.

crept upstairs with their sandbags
ready for use.
The first door opened was that of
long room containing about 100 beds
all filled with sleepers. In the nearest
OF the lot a man sat up suddenly and
said in surprised tone:
'Well Him bowed hif hit han't
Billy the Weasel!"
The startled burglars opened their
bull's-eye lantern and at once recog-
nized an old London pal they supposed
long since dead.
.S-s-sh, Gully" said one; ''play-
ing the sarvint dodge, har We? All

Accents Of BEAUTY.

There are comparatively harmless
ways OF accentuating natural beauty,
says Shirley Dare. For instance, per-
fumes may be INDUCED in by every
body for their stimulating and refresh
ing properties especially lavender,
lemon, roses, violets, sage and benzoin.
Thick lips can be reduced by rubbing
with tannin. Pale lips can be induced
to show color by friction with dark
grapes. Lemon, orange and cucum-
Der peels are excellent for the COM
plexion. Let them soak in water, for
they not only soften, but tonify and
freshen the complexion, keeping the
flesh healthy and firm. When wiping
the face always wipe upward, for this
saves many wrinkle and fullness un-
der the chin. The eyes should always
be wiped toward the nose, as 1t presses
out the fine lines from the corners.

Loaves That Have been for Seventeen

In the exhumation of Pompeii one
house was discovered which was evil

volcanic storm buried it. Painters,
decorators and cleaners were masters
of the situation. The household gods
were all in disorder, and the family, ii
not out of town, must have been under
going that condition of misery which
spring cleanings and other like in
flictions surely entail. Painters pots
and brushes and workmen's tools were
scattered all over the house. Tell-tale
spots of whitewash starred the wall
and floor. Such domestic implements
as pots and kettles had been bundled
up in a corner all by themselves, and
the cook was non est.
Dinner, however, had not been for
gotten. A solitary pot stood simmer
ing, IL it ever did simmer, on the
stove. There was o bronze dish in
waiting before the oven, and on the
dish u sucking-pig, all ready to be
baked, but the oven was already en-
gagged with it's full complement OF
bread. So the pig had to wait, and it
never entered the oven, and the loaves
were never taken out till after the
lapse Of LOO years. They had been
baking since August "a, A. ID. 10.
There were thenty-one of them-rather
crusty, of course, and rather dark
colored, but perfectly preserved.
