The Right to Fresh Milk on Sunday
Agreat religious question has just
been decided in the island of Arran,
where Robert Kelso, a farmer and an
elder in the Free Kirk, was admonish-
ed by his church session for supplying
fresh milk to the Duchess Of Hamilton
on a Sunday. The minister held that
a. the Jews of old only received fresh
mama six days in the week, the Ouch
ess had no right to expect fresh milk
on seven. But the elder was contu-
macious, and appealed to the presby-
terry. He argued that his milk was
not mamma, or miraculous, and per-
versely refused to remain fresh for
twenty-four hours. The presbytery
took this view of the case, and order

AN IMPERIAL WEAPON.
The Splendid Sword Carried by the EN-
peror of Japan.

The Splendid Sword Carried by the EN-
peror of Japan.
An interesting account is given by the
Yokohama Yomiuri Shimbun of the sword
usually worn by the Emperor of Japan.
1t appears that at the time of the Restora-
tion the chief of the Tsu clan presented to
his Majesty blade Of the finest description
made by the celebrated BiZen Sanemori.
The Emperor priced the blade highly and
directed that il should be mounted in
Western style so as TO be wearable in
uniform. The Household Department wisely
entrusted the Job to Kano Natsuo, probably
the greatest living worker in metal and ore
OF the greatest that ever lived in any cOun-
try. Natsuo devoted himself TO the work
for about four months. He made the seab-
bard OF gold and silver In the form of two
pieces of the bamboo called Kuretake,
variety distinguished for the fneness of its
grain and the abundance of its Joints On
the cap Of the hilt he carved the Kiri in
gold, and for the tip of the seabbaTd he
used a large gold dragon, the middle of the
scabbard being ornamented with tiger.
The guard he covered with chrysanthemums
cut IN deep relief, while for hilt ornaments
he used dragon and a tiger. these as well
as tie hit itself being of gold and silver
damascened. When the sword was finished.
1t was pronounced magnificent example OF
skilled craftsmanship. but il proved too
heavy TO be easily lifted with one hand.
The Emperor. however. is said to have made
no comment on the weight. His Majesty
wears the sword constantly. The cost of
the mounting was seventeen hundred ven.
Doubtless 1t represents the highest achieve
meBt OF which NatsuO is eapabaIe. and con-
seQuently deserves all the encOmiums Law
ished on ii, for Natsuo, when he puts forth
all his ability, produces work of wonderful
beauty and excellence.

these circumstances it is claimed that the
first cost of the proposed plan will be less
than that required for the ordinary steam

as the latter also involves an attendant,
more than the entire cost of steam is gained
by the use of the new method.

THE MEERSCHAUM PIPE.
Correction of Some Erroneous Ideas Re-

Correction Of Some Erroneous Ideas Re
garding IT.
There is a very general impression in the
minds Of smokers that the meerschaum part
of the pipe. which they treasure so care
fully and take so much pride and satisfac-
ton in " cOiorlng" is compressed sea foam.
Such. however. is not the case. The
German word meerschaum means In English
foam Of the sea, but its formation has moth.
ing to do with the sea. 1t is a kind of
clay, comes out of mines like coal and is
found only in Turkey. The artist who
earves meerschaum is required to pass
through as severe a school of apprentice
ship, lasting from three to ten years, as
though his work were In marble. Nicer
sehaum carved and in the rough resembles
the ordinary plaster cast The outlines
being complete. it is scraped with knife.
hled, soaked in a preparation, and then
polished with linen CLOTH The color of
meerschaum has nothing to do with the
quality, and ranges from pure white 10 a
light yellow or blush white. The practice
sometimes INDUCED in by smoking OF soak
ing a meerschaum in hot water milk, or
Steaming il. is altogether wrong. 1t spoils
the mseTschaum and ruins the color.-New
