RRiAR ROOT PIPES.
Some OF Them are Made OF Bruyere Root
and Some Not.

| 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 pipe to get.
To begin with the day OF the meer-
schaum pipe has gone. Where one man
buys a meerchaum ten buy "a briar.
Briar pipes, or more properl y bruyere
| pipes, are made of the wood and root
of tho bruyere bushes, and the south OF
France supplies nearly all the raw ma
terial for this now.reall 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 it
for small price. You can just get
fairly good, straight unornamented
briarwood pipe for Eve. dollar bill.
IL you want something firyt-class you
must pay from SIS to s2S for 1t. And
in these last named high priced pipes
it is not the amber mou thpiece OF 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; it is at the
same time porous and will take on "a
beautiful color, like a meerschaum; it
will also take beautiful polish.
The bruyere wood is coarser in grain
and is not porous. What is particular
ly looked at in a briar root pipe is the
fineness of tho grain and the beauty OF
the markings. These go to make up
the beauty of a bit of bruyere root
just as the various grades of crystalline
purity go to make up the value of d
diamond. You cannot get fine grain
cd, well-marked. strai ght pipe short of
$l5. 1t should be RENE mbered, though,
that when you have bought pipe Of
this kind you have got pipe for life.
With ordinary care they never wear
out, and a curious thing is that tho
longer you smoke a bruyere root pipe
the sweeter it gets.
In this respect it is superior to q
meerschaum. A meersohaum is at its
best when you buy it. An aged meer-
scbaum is sure to become more or less

POLITICAL READING.
MCKINLEY PRICES"

Another free trade howl has gone
wrong. Mckinley prices" was a
great political cry for three months
following the passage OF the new tariff
law. Importers and greedy store
keepers combinee 10 give it force.
But it was temporary expedient
only, "a good enough Morgan until
the after the election" Like The
phrase ''tin plate liars, it is coming
back 10 plague those who originated
1t. An example OF what present "Mc-
Kinley prices" are comes 10 the Press
all the way from Kansas, where The
opposition 10 the Mckinley bill was
said to he the cause of the political
revolution by which the Farmers Al
lance came into power there. One
OF the largest retail stores in Kansas
City publishes bulletin of its offered
bargains, from which this extract is
taken:
rpAT PEsrIFERoUs M'KINLEY BILL
AGAIN.
On April sugar will drop from 2
10 .! cents pound. This is due 10
ths Mckinley bill, which placed sugar
on the free list and at the same time
protected home sugar growers and
sugar manufacturers by sufficient
bounty.
On April l, or rs soon thereafter as
it is possible to get our sugar OUT OF
the government bonded warren ouse,
we will sell standard granulated sugar
20 POUNDS FOR S1.00.
Our present price is 10 pounds for
sl.OO. You save 81 in three.
Heretofore you paid 81 for 90
pounds. You can now buy the Same
90 pounds for IS.
WHATDO YOU THINK or IT?
A prominent grocery store in Alien
town, Pa. also has something 20 say
in it's advertisement about Mckinley
prices" This is what it tells its Gus
toners:
MCKINLEY DID IT.

We take this method of notifying
The public that in the month OF April
the price of sugars in all grades will
DO reduced several cents II pound.

Democrats said it would not. But
sugar is now Il great deal cheaper.

ing tin plate better in quality add
cheaper in price; the Democrats said
it would not. Four Tin plate mil are
already in operation and others build

one of Us asked the colonel, who had
not spoken for some time, though We were
telling stories of moving accidents by food
and field, of which he must have had his
share as y brave soldier first and since as
journalist and lawyer.
"Three." he replied gententiously and
after a pause went on. THE first was at
Bull Run. 1t was very simple and not i'm
p~rsssive in the telling. At the time when a
retreat had been orderderod, or begun with
out the order moro likely. I found myself
separated from my command and within a
few feet of the confederate lines. Just as I
turned my horse to ride back to my regi-
mont | was struck a downward blow upon
the head by a fragment from an exploded
shell. l knew nothing further about what
happened, but / afterward learned that 1
had ridden 800 yards and fairly into our
W lines before falling from my horse. A
surgeon would find it hard to believe that I
could ride 80 far unconscious and with such
a wound, but it is true"
And the second?"
"Well, that was a long time after; n long,
long time, MS it seemed. We had fought
neatly through the war and after half
starving with n corps of invasion had
pierced through the country to the gulf.
How We enjoyed the rest and the beaches!
One day I was riding along the beach at
low tide when my horse SHE'D md refused
to go farther. Foolishly, l urged her on.
Again she tried to stop and again l CON-
PEELED her to go ahead, until ul at once she
began to sink, trembling in every limb, and
] began to understand that l had fallen into
n quicksand. In spite Of her plunging and
iearing. the animal went lower and lower,
until, to relieve her of my weight, / jumped
OF the saddle and then l began to sink, too.
PRESENTLY, the marc was in up to her back
NM ana 1 to my nrmplts. l spread my arms
myself up as long as possible. 1t
WIS useless to screams; there was no
one within hearing. l had long ago given
myself up for lost when, by accident, some
OF our men came riding up. Still l was not
fnved. They could not safely come near me
until one OF them galloped of and present.

these they built a sort of mud causcway
and finally pulled out not only me but
my marc. But had only fifteen minutes to
spare.
.'Ihe third narrow ESCAPE was also onc
of carelessness. l was on n fast moving
railroad train. and in passing frem one car
to another fell between them and a little at
one side. breaking one arm. l still held on
by the sound arm, and, being something of
self back upon the platform. -Four times
tried and failed, and then l knew that with
the pain Of tho wound and my e~xertion nv
strength was rapidly going. II was then or
never. l made \ fifth and last effort,
