CURIOUS SPECIMENS OF PIPES.

s1any Odd Ways In Which All Classes o
People Know to Mako Them.
Manchester (Eng.) Times.I
A long and slender stemmed pipe was
brought from Central Africa some year,
ago, from the neighborhood of Albert Nv.
ANA, by the Stanley expedition, and wa.
obtained from the dwarf tribes inhabitins
the Areweni and Ituri forests, near the
equator. To make the pipe tho little peo-
pie take the mid-rib of the banana leaf,
which is cellular, and by pushing long,
hard river reed through the rib they are
enabled to get the bore required for the
pipe STEM They plug the lower end with
clay, and, rolling up section of the banana
leaf into tiny cornucopia, cut hole in the
stem and insert it for bowl, the sap In the
green leafpreventing Its combustion as the
tobacco burns. This pipe recalls the bowl
made from potato, and the stem made out
of piece OF twig from which the pith had
been driven, which was employed by many
American soldiers during the great war.
Another curious pipe is one made from q
shell, which comes from New Guinea
While the pipes used in the interior are
more generally made of bamboo, those
smoked in the neighborhood of the coast,
and especially In Savo and the Solomon
Islands, are made OF shells which are
picked up on the seashore. At present the
principal pipe used in the southern portion
of New Guinea and the adjacent islands is
the English clay, and pipe of this descrip-
tion is generally acceptable as q part OF the
payment for days labor in that district.
Quite recently some curious pipes were
found In the vast guano deposits of Peru,
the date Of which is fixed by scientists to
whom they have been submitted, as CO.
equal with the famous Peruvian pottery,
the eleventh or twelfth century.

Peculiar Traits Of Character in Many Prom
inent Literary Men.
The dislike for music felt by many of the
worlds greatest writers and poets has been
the subject of frequent comment and given
rise to no slight discussion as to what
psychological and mental peculiarities
could cause those who are gifted with such
nice appreciation Of the rhythmic aud mus
cal beauty of words to find no pleasure OF
Inspiration in the succession Of tones which
constitute music Alphouse Daudet, in q
recent issue Of the Paris Figaro, has the
following to say on the subject;
Gas rule We literary people care COM
paratively little for music Gauthier's
opinion of the 'hummjng and Drumming
called music is well known. Hugo, Leconte
de Lisle, Bauville, Saint Victor agreed with
him, Goucourt turned up his nose as soon
as piano was opened. Zola insists at times
that he has heard this or that piece OF music
somewhere but he never knows from
whom it isl The good Flaubert pretended
to be great musician, but only to please
Turgenef, who, In reality, loved only the
music cultivated in the Salon Viarodot.
''As to myself, however. love every
thing musical, the lively music as well a.
the sad and classical; the music OF Bee
thoven, the music OF the Spaniards, Gluck
and Chopin. Masaenet and Saint Saens,
Gounod's Faust and 'Marionette, the foek:
songs, the hand-organ, the tamborine, even
the bells, music for dancing and music for
dreaming: 1t all speaks to me, inspires. me.
Wsgner's music moves me, thrills me, hyp-
notices me, and the violin harmonies Of the
gypsies, those sorcerers of music, have al
ways drawn me to the exhibitions The
despicable fellows always stop my progress

CHAPTER III.

| After the misadventure related in the
preceding chapter Columbus fully made ny
his mind to abandon the life of priyateerine
| he had thus far led. He turned again to
ward Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, where
he had lived when not rowing the sea Dur
| ing this period of his life he had endured
many hardships, met with many adventures,
while all the time he was gaining knowl-
edge and experience that fitted him for the
great work of his life when he came to un-
dertake that. Many of his Genoese friends
had settled in Lisbon and he now thought
that he might fn6 employment there and
in some way improve his condition. His
great idea of Western exploring had taken
form by this time in his mind, and he
thought that perhaps in Portugal, through
the assistance OF his friends he might find
chance to enter upon a new career. So
thither he went soon after the year 1470
At that time everybody had curious ideas
about the part of the world that was as yet
unknown. They had maps of Europe and
of the regions of Africa and Asia bordering
on the Mediterranean and they traded with
India. Bevond that they knew almost
nothing. Ships sailed only up and down
the Mediterranean and Adriatic seas, along
the African coast north of the equator, and
as far north as England and Finland. Sail
ors scarcely dared venture out of sight of
land. Goods from India were brought over
land or bv way of the Indian Ocean, the
Red Sea and the Mediterranean.
But princes and scholars were turning
their minds toward clearing up the mystery
that enyeloped the rest of the world. Ira
ditions existed concerning wonderful
lands of the ocean. In many books were
stories about them and scientific men dis
cussed the possibilities of finding them.
Seine found proof in support OF their belief
in the bodies of unfamiliar birds and men
and of strange carved wood washed upon
the shores by the western waves
Portugal was foremost among the nations
of Europe in seriously considering these
things and the wisdom of investigating
them. Prince Henry of Portugal encour-
aged his countrymen to this work, and soon
Lisbon began to attract attention of schol-
ars, sailors, explorers and adventures from
all parts of Europe. That was the begin
ming oil modern exploration and discovery.
The motive in all this enterprise was the ac-
QUESTION of territory, the confscating OF
the untold hordes of wealth that were be-
lieved to be in the mythical lands, and the
discovery of new route by sea to India
Prince Henry believed that India might be
reached by sailing south and rounding the
continent of Africa Learned men of the
day disputed him and declared that the land
OF Africa extended to the South Pole. This
was the problem that Columbus had consid-
cred for years, and he had come to the con-
cluson that India could be reached by sail
ing west. Prince Henry died before these
explorations were fully entered uDon. But
events soon proved that he was right while

work Tor themselves. Some of the girls are
taken back as officers and they are trained
as hospital nurses. MANY of the bows 90

annually admitted to the industrial schools
of Moscow. IF girl gets married before
she becomes of age the institution gives her
her trousseau, aud altogether toundlipgs
are better treated in Russia than in any
other cJuntry in the world.
A Frightful Infant Mortality.
Their treatment. however, after they are
sent out into the villages to be nursed is
not so good as it is here and the statistics
show that fully half of all these babies die
before they are year old, and the science
OF baby raising over the whole of Russia is
in such backward state that one-fourtn of
all the babies born in the empire die before
they are twelve months of age. Forty-two
per cent. die before they are five years old.
and still the yearly crop of children is SO
great that the popuiation of Russia, ac-
cording to the statistics of the statesmau's
year book is increasing at the rate of two
millions a year. In European Russia alone
there are every year 1000, 900 more babies
than there were the year before and more
than 4, 000, 900 babies are born here every
year. Russis has a high death rate, but
these peasants breed like Australian rabbits
and they like large families.
The most of these babies of Moscow come
from the city. There are 10 per cent more
of this class in Moscow than there are in
Paris, but it Is said that there is little or no
infanticide here, and the probability il the
