They VIII Start Cooperative Lumber
Yard and Planning Mill.

BRADDocK, May 29.-Eighteen members of
Carpenters Union No. $50, of this city, have
entered into an agreement to go into the
lumber business Immediately. They will
form stock company, and start lumber
yard and planning mill in connection.

BRlAR ROOT PIPES.
Como of Them are Made of Bruyerc IsOos

Yome of Them are Made Of Bruyere lsOo'
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
Hys a meerchaum ten buy a briar.
Briar pipes, or more 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 plain every day
briar pipe that you are going to get 1t
for a small price. You can just get
fairly good. straight, unornamented
briarwood pipe for five-dollar bill.
If you want something tirst-class you
must pay from $lS to $2S for it. And
in these last named high priced pipes
| it is not the amber mouthpiece 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
| A.. - ,,-hi o1 al
cut, is a gnarled, clumsy mass about as
big as a 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 brpyere wood is cOarser in grain
and is not porous. What isparticular-
ly locked 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 9
diamond. You cannot get a tine-grain'
ed, well-marked. straight pipe short o.
$15. It should be remembered, though
that when you have bought a pipe OF
this kind you have got pipe for life
With ordinary care they never veal
out, and curious thing is that thu
longer you smoke bruyere root pipe
the sweeter it gets.
In this respect it is superior to
meerschaum. A meerschaum is at it
best when you buy it. An aged meer
, schaum is sure to become more or les

MENNONlrEs OF RUSSIA.
The Hardships NJ . Christian Sect Under

The Hardships Ut Christian Sect Under
the Cars Government.
The mennonites OF Russia, as well as
the Hebrews, are complaining of the
seventies of the cars government,
and. but for the obstacles to their emil
grafton, the whole body OF them would
probably come to this country. They
are christian sect over three centu-
ries old, and hold baptismal doctrine
not recognized by the orthodox Greek
church, into which the government has
tried to drive them.
The Russian mennonites, who num-
Der only about 10000, took up their
habitation in southern Russia, near the
Sea of Azov, about q century ago, ex-
plains the New York Sun, having then
left Russia on account of the hard
ships to which they Mere subjected.
They are a peaceful, intelligent. virtu-
GUS and Industrious people and they
have enjoyed rare prosperity in that
region.
The main trouble of the government
with them grows out of their religious
principle of non-resistance and their
refusal to render military service, For
long period of time they were exempt
from service by the DEGREES OF the
cars, but this privilege was withdrawn
twenty years ago. They then obtained
permission to leave Russia within a
specified time.
In 1873 they began to take advan
tage of it, and several thousand OF
them found refuge in this country.
The first colonies went as farmers tc
Kansas and Minnesota, where they
purchased land and got along finely
The car, seeing their determination,
modified his decree of CONSUMPTION, and
gave orders that, in time of war, they
should be required only to render SER
vice in the military hospitals. The
granting of this privilege and the ex
piration of the period during which
they were allowed to emigrate stopped

a century ago.
Now again they are suffering hard
ships through the operation OF tn
CONSUMPTION law and through the car
determination to bring them into tn
orthodox fold. If permission could b
obtained by them to leave Russia the

who came here eighteen years ago.

BRAVE LOVE.
He'd nothing but his violin;
I'd nothing hut my song
But we were wed when skies were blue
AMI summer days were long:
And when we rested by the hedge
The robins came and told
How they had da ed to WOO and win
When early spring was cold.
We sometimes supped on dewberrics,
Or slept among the hay
But oft the farmers wives at eve
Came out to hear us play
The rare oil tunes-the dear old unes, -
We could not starve for long
While my man had his violin
And my sweet love song.
The world has aye gone well with us,
Old Man, since we were one!-
our homeless wandering down the lane3-
IL long ago was DONE
But those who wait for gold or gear
For houses and for kline,
TIL youths sweet spr.ng grows brown and
sere
And love and beauty pine.

That met without a fear
When you hal bat your violin
And song. my dear.
