German Pipes

The town of Ruhla in Thuringfa Is
noted as being the locality where the
largest proportion of German pipes are
manufactured, and these are exported,
it may be said. to all parts of the world.
The German papers give some remark
able data as to this industry, as car
ried on at the Ruhla works. showing
that for some years past the annual
production Of bowls. independently of
stems or handles, amounts to 10000
meerschaums and nearly 100000 Of
imitation meerschaums; the total of
wooden bowls produced is not far snort
of 5000, 900, while the average number
of that popular variety, the china pipe
attains the prodigious number of be-
tween l.. OO0. 900 and 13, OOO,O 900, of these
about 9,50O, 900 being of common porce-
lain and the remainder of fine ware
But in addition to these there are also
produced some 100000 of pipes made
of other materials than those enumer-
ated above. The same manufacturers
are engaged in turning out annually
100000 of pipe stems of different
kinds, also millions of accessories"
such as flexible stems, chains. shoppers,

Maine Sets the Pace.

In the general slump which fol-
lowed the advent of the free trade
party into the control of the govern
ment in 1893 wages on the Maine Cen
trail railroad were cut down.. and they
stayed at the cut figure until the free
trade party went out of Office. But
among the first fruits of the restoration
of protection to American industries is
the restoration of wages in the Maine
Central to what they were previous to
1898. They used to say, "As Maine
goes. so goes the Union" Maine has
set the right pace this time and it will
not be long until the rest of the Union
