WHERE CLAY PIPES ARE MADE.

Drnsciey, England, Where One Fam
lily Has Mnde Them for POI Years.
1t is difficult to state with any degree
Of accuracy when tobacco was first in
troduced into Europe. but it is general
ly believed that Sir Walter Raleigh took
it to England toward the end of the
sixteenth century. With the introduce
tion of tobacco came the need of to-
bacco pipes, as before tobacco smoking
began the smoking of herbs and leaves
even for medicinal purposes was not
at all general. 1t is stated that at
Braseley, in Shropshire, the first clay
pipes were made; and although many
are made in Glasgow and elsewhere,
yet the Braseley clay pipes are the
best known among old smokers the
world over, and their manufacture is
still continued by descendants of the
original makers.
The clay for making the pipes is and
always has been obtained from Devon
and Cornwall, the absence of coal in
these districts and the abundance of IL
in Braseley having offered sufficient in
ducement to the early manufacturers
to settle there. Pipe making in the
early days of its introduction was
very different matter from what it is
now. Then the greater part of the
manipulation was performed by the
master, and 20 or "a gross were the
largest quantity ever burned in one
kiln. This required about ton of
coal. Each pipe rested on its bowl,
and the stem was supported by rings
of pipe clay placed one upon the other
as the kiln became filled; the result
was that at least 20 per cent. were
warped or broken in the kiln.
At the present time the preliminary
preparations of the clay are made by
men, but the most delicate part is al
most entirely intrusted TO the hands
of women. The pipes are placed in
"saggers," to be burned after the Dutch
mode, and from $50 to 400 gross in one
kiln are not an uncommon quantity.
The breakages amount to not more
than one per cent. One collector has
a splendid collection of old clay pipes,
the Oldest of them, from their trade
marks, hailing from Braseley, and be-
ing dated as long ago as the year 1000.

Certain persons who thought they
had sufficient influence to accomplish
their purpose set out early in the
legislative session to revoke the char
ter OF the Delaware Game Protective
Association, and also to repeal nearly
all of the laws which placed safeguards
around game birds and animals and
saved them from the meat-hunters.
Game bill after game bill was intro
duced and the committees spent much
valuable time considering them, and at
the wind-up of the session Il was
found that not one of the many meas,
ures proposed had become a law and
that the situation remained in every
respect the same that it was prior to
the meeting Of the General Assembly.
The time spent in considering the bills
was not wasted for the men who wish
to hunt at any and all seasons of the
year and regardless of all natural limi-
tations were taught a lesson that they
will not soon forget.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
THE POPULATION OF RUSSIA.

lftE 1OIOl4A lON VI ttODOlA.
The items obtained from all the local
committees, partly by telegram-with
the exception of some parts of the
Province of Yakootsk-are now publish
ed, and the population of the empire
appears from them as follows Euro
pean Russia, 94,1SS, $50; Kingdom of
Poland, 9,442. 500; Grand Duchy of Fin
land, (Finnish yearly census), 2,527,-
sol; Caucasia, 9,723, ,553; Siberia and
Sakhalin, 5731.732; the Kirghiz Step
pes, 3,415,174; Turkestan, with the
Transcaspian region and the Pamirs,
4,175.1O1; Russian subjects in Bokhara
and Khivsiz, GAP. Total, 129,211,1l3.
1t may be said that although the per-
centage of births is very high in Rus
sia. il took nearly fifty years for the
population to double.
An English writer about Russia made
some time ago the remark that Russia
suffers from apolism, that is from a
want OF towns This want has lately
very much disappeared. There is now
in the empire no less than nineteen
towns having population of more than
100000 tout of which are two in Po
land. two in Caucasia, and one, Tash-
kend in Turkestan); thirty-five towns
with populations from $4,000 to 100000
and sixty-nine towns with populations
from $4,000 to $4,000. st. Petersburg
has already attained the figure OF J.,
267 .O23, and Moscow approaches th'

was hushed in dismayed silence. The
speaker broke it by inquiring whether
the honorable member for Cavan per-
sisted in his intention of noticing
strangers. IF you please, Mr. Speaker. "
said Mr.. Biggar, with an encouraging
nod towards the chair. Then the anger
of the House found issue in roar of
contumely, through which was heard
the unparliamentary, almost unprece-
dented sound Of kissing. Honorable
members might just as usefully have
sat down by the rivers bank and
shouted stop" to the falls Of Niagara
At that time there was in force the me-
diaeval order which required the i'm
mediate and absolute withdrawal OF
strangers from every part Of the House
upon an individual member taking no.
Of their presence. Mr.. Biggar was mas
ter Of the situation, and few human
faces offered an opening far exceeding
the breadth Of his smile as he survey
ed it.
Tn speaker had no option. He must
needs order strangers to withdraw.
ThereupOn 'the Prince of Wales, the
German Ambassador, who happened to
be in the diplomatic gallery, and the
crowd CT peers, boastng the bluest
blood in England, were compelled to
scuttle. Mr. Biggar had his fun, but
the House of Commons reaped perma-
nent benefit from the prank He
brought into broad daylight the absurd
ity of the ancient custom, which was
thenceforward doomed. The privilege
of spying strangers is no longer count
ed among the possessions Of individual
members of the House of Commons.
Strangers may to-day be excluded but
only upon motion duly made and car
ried by a majority.-North American

GROWTH OF THE UNITED STATES.

GROWTH OF THE UNITED STATES.
The history of the United States has
been one continuous story of rapid, Stu
pendOus growth, and all its great ques-
tions have been questions of growth, 1t
was proposed in the Constitutional Con-
vention of 1887 that a limit should be
set to the number of new members to
be admitted to the House of Represen-
tatives from states formed beyond the
Alleghenies; and the suggestion was
conceived with a true instinct of proph-
ecy. The old states were not only to be
shaken out of their self-centred life, but
were even to see .heir very govern
ment changed over their heads by the
rise Of states in the Western country
John Randolph voted against the ad-
mission of Ohio into the Union because
he held that no new partner should be
admitted to the Federal arrangement
except by unanimous consent. 1t was
the very next year that Louisiana was
purchased, and a million square miles
were added to the territOry out of
which new states were to be made. Had
the original states been able to live to
themselves, keeping their own people,
celebrating their own life, without a
common property to manage, unveXed
by a vacant continent, national ques-
tiOns might have been kept within
modest limits. They might even have
made shift to digest Tennessee, Ken
lucky, Mississippi. Alabama and the
great commOnwealths carved out of the
Northwest Territory, for which the
Congress of the Federation had already
made provision. But the Louisiana
purchase opened the continent to the
planting of states, and took the pro-
cesses of naturalization out of the
hands of the original partners .
Questions of politics were hencefortf
TO be questions of growth.-AtlantiC
Monthly.

STRANGERS IN THE HOUSE" "


At one time. much more than of late
years, his royal highness was a con-
stant visitor to the House Of Commons
his pleasant presence beaming from the
centre seat OF the Peers gallery, inn
mediately over the clock. During the
turbulent times that marked the birth
of the Parnelite party he frequently
dropped in to watch the recurring
crises. This habit gave the late Joseph
Gillis Biggar an opportunity of distin-
gushing himself above his fellows. One
Tuesday evening in the early Spring OF
1875. Mr.. Chaplin. then a private men,
