way, put two currency certificates for SluDO
each in his pocket on Friday morning, and
started through Chambers-st. for the Chemical
National Bank at No 30 Broadway. one door
below Chambers-st When he reached the
Chemical Bank he discovered that the certifi-
Gates had mysteriousy disappeared. He caused
to be distributed at the Clearing House. to the
messengers Of various banks when the daily eX-
changes were made yesterday circular an
nouncing the loss and requesting that. II the
certificates should be presented at either OF these
banks for payment. they should be returned to
the Exchange Bank The certificates were is
sued by the United States Assistant Treasurer
To the National Park Bank receipts for legal
tender notes Of small denominations deposited at
the Sub-Treasury. They are payable only to
banks which are members Of the Clearing House.
and are Of no value except to such bank
Certificates Of this kind are used In settling
bank exchange balances through the Clearing
House. and often in directly settling transac-
tions between one banl: and another but only
between banks which are members of the Clear

unknown. There is some nope that the certifi-
Gates have simply bcen rn.slaid in the Exchange
Bank. although Mr.. How.and recollects having
placed them in his pocket before ne started for
the Chemical Bank
Mr.. Rowland said 10 a Tribune reporter who
him at the Exchange Bank late yesterday
afternoon: The certificates have not yet been
found but they not negotiable, except
by banks which are members Of the Clearing
House there can he no money loss. 1t Is never
theless worry unpleasant for such thing to hap

change such certificates with one another FOR
currency In the way of settlements. ! was
taking the lost certificates to the Chemical Bank
to exchange them in part for currency and
partly to complete a transaction between that
bank and the Exchange Bank. The numbers OF
the certificates can be ascertained. 1t is not
likely that a reward will be offered for the re-
turn Of the certificates. duplicates can prob
ably be obtained if furnish satisfactory SEE

SOME OLD TOBACCO PIPES.
Smokers Used Herbs and Leaves Be
fore Tobacco Was known.
TourDoI


Whether the honor of having introduced
tobacco into Britain belongs to Sir Walter
Raleigh. Sir John Hawkins or to Mr..
Ralph Lane, some time governor of Vir-
ginia. or whether the claims of the colo
nists of Virginia drought back by Drake
in 1850, or of Capt. Amiday and Barlow
(of Sir Walters first expedition in 15S4)
to the same distinction can be definitely
adjusted, one thing is certain-namely,
that smoking was undoubtedly INDUCED
in before the arrival of the famous weed"
Long before the period of the introduce
ton of tobacco, herbs and leaves were
smoked for medicinal purposes, and to
this day, in some parts of England, colt $
foot. yarrow and other plants are still
used in the same way, with evident relish
and belief in their efficacy.
That tobacco pipes we're manufactured
al an early date in this country is proved
nv the incorporation of the craft of to-
bacco-pipe makers in 1919 by James /, in
the seventeenth year of his reign, and
their privileges were confirmed both by
Charles ! and Charles II. The pipemak-
er's company consisted of a MASTER four
wardens and about twenty-four assist
ants. The arms of the company are de-
scribed by Allen in his History of Lon
dom" as argent, on a mount in base vert,

Let brotherly love continue
Hentzer, a German lawyer and traveller,
who visited this country in Queen Eliza
beth's reign, was much astonished to see
Englishmen draw the smoke into their
mouths Through pipes of clay) which they
puff out again through their nostrils like
tunnels" The pipes of this period have
very small barrel-shaped bowls and are
usually Of better clay and make than
most OF succeeding reigns. In the time
OF James /. and Charles i. the bowls
slightly increased in size, but the form
remained pretty much the same.
These ancient pipes, so often turned up
by the spade during the digging or drain
ing operations, are called by the country
people in England fairy pipes" and in
Scotland Celtic" or "Elhn pipes" whilst
by the Irish peasantry they are attributed
TO mischievous demons named "Cluri-
caunes." and are destroyed as soon as
discovered In England. however, they
are carefully preserved the rustcs firmly
believing that they bring good luck to the
finder.
