One of the two greatest pipe collec-
tors who ever lived was Marquis de
Watreville, whose smoking-room IN
Paris had the walls covered with costly
types, some of them worth, it is claimed,
as much as $4,000, and all arranged
with great beauty Of design.
The other was the well-known Capt.
Bragge, of London, whose collection
was valued at 100000, who had agents
in every part of the known world. and
whose collection was deemed worthy
in 1889 OF being made special exhibit
during the summer season at the Crys-
tai Palace.
Prince Bismarck is a great pipe col
lector. and the gem of his collection has
curious history. Many years ago, as
Bismarck was strolling in the suburbs
Of Friedricbsruhe with his two hounds,
he was accosted by a Bohemian peddler
and asked to buy plain meerschauHl
