The manufacture of corn-cob pipes has
become a considerable industry at Beau
fort S. C.. Special machinery has been
made for the purpose. and an expert
turner is employed to carve out the bowls,
which are of many designs. The cobs
are of a particular corn grown in the Mis-
souri, Valley, and are transported to
South Carolina by the carload. The cobs
have to be seasoned for two or three years
before they are used. The supply of cane
stems, which is obtained from the cane
brakes along the Port Royal railroad.
in lots of GO,000 stems, capable OF being
cut into three lengths, also employs much
labor in the country, TO select and gather
them. A new and attractive feature OF
some Of these pipes is the ti-ti stem.
The It'll is shrub the botanical name
of which is "Cliftonia Ligustrina." 1t
grows up in a long. straight jointless
stem, with soft centre pith, and OF
various circumference, from the size OF
an ordinary pipe-stem to that OF the little
finger. 1t has enjoyed the reputation.
rom the aborigines and among southern |
planters and others, who have ever used |
t in preference to any other, not ex-
'epting the cherry or fig-stem, of best alb
orbing the nicotine and affording a
'rateful and fragrant taste.

Cutting Down Expenses.

l To the Editor of the Dispatch:
| Our Legislature being about to be elect
| ed. and soon after to meet, and it being
universally conceded that its principal
| business should be TO recommend to the
! Legislature next following ii measures
| in the shape of amendments to our pres
ent Constitution. that will enable subse-
quent legislatures so TO amend our laws
that great saving in State taxation can
be effected. so as TO put it in our power to
provide for the coming increase in the
interest on the bonds OF the State without
increasing the weight of taxation upon our
people, the undersigned having made
somewhat of study OF such things du-
ring many years, begs leave to offer the
Following suggestions: Our newspapers
appear TO think that an agreement as to
such measures will De difficult. and per-
haps impossible, but this writer thinks
that. let a practicable and systematic
plan be proposed, such agreements will
be easy on the part OF enough OF our
population TO carry it into effect.
Now. take up our county system and |

tuting for the county judges a district

1880 and his mileage. and let him holu

supposing the average pay of our present
county judges TO he $50 per year, and this
mileage OF the district judge TO be $50
the saving for the 100 counties i'm our
state would be at least ST., 800. Next take
The Office OF County Treasurer. We ought
to do away with that Office entirely and
place his duties In the hands Of our
County Sheriff. as IL was before the adop-
ion OF the so-called Underwood Consti- |

sisted of two beside herself. She even
denied participating in the "hold-ups,"
though she admitted knowing of them.
But both the men, confessing sepa-
rately, acknowledged her leadership,
not as shield for themselves, but brag-
gingly. They were evidently proud of
their own criminal prowess and talked
freely Of it; but they were prouder still
of her.
According TO them "Cranberries"
planned several robberies which they
executed. In their "hold-up" work she
acted as a decoy. She would make the
acquaintance of a man who seemed to
have money and would induce him to
walk with her on a certain evening
in a retired street. The two men would
meet them at an appointed place and
proceed to "hold up" the couple in good
western style at the muzzle of a re-
yolver. The gang then met and divided.
"Cranberries' father is the janitor
of the apartments in which they lived.
They formerly lived at Duluth. The
family has resided in Minneapolis fol
about year and half, and during
that time, until within the last six
months, the girl has borne a good
character among her companions. She
was amember of the Emmanuel Baptist
church and a regular attendant at
church and Sunday school services.
The mother, woman of quiet refine
ment, Is almost heartbroken over these
revelations about her daughter, for SO
cleverly did the girl carry on her Grim
NAL operations, leading in fact double
life, that her family and friends never
suspected her. She is pretty girl.

REALLY USEFUL DOG.
Gyp Pumps Water for the Cattle, and
Likes the Work.


Likes the Work.
One of the most useful and worthy
dogs in this country is occupied in
pumping water for cattle near Mill
Valley, Cal. Gyp is her name, and she
is said to be the only member of the
canine family similarly engaged IN the
state of California.
A great saving of expense is effected
by the employment of Gyp. She does
not cost, all things considered, a
twentieth part as much as windmill
would. She pumps water enough for
a herd of $50 cattle.
The continuance by which the dog
creates motive power is sort of bar
rel. This is so made that the animal
can get in and out through hole in the
bottom. When she finds herself inside
she naturally starts to move away and
the barrel begins to turn. If neces-
sary she can be shut in.
The motive power is communicated to
the pump by means of crank that con-
Eects with a piston and sucker. The
revolution of the motor causes the pis-
ton to rise and fall.
Each stroke of the pump brings up
about a quart of water and requires six
strides by Gyp. The pump makes six
strokes a minute and draws up 500 gel.

liz. He loves his pipe also, and it
was from this source that he came near
meeting a horrible death. The judge fin
ished his work late at night and got
down his old fiddle and played several
of his favorite tunes, while smoking his
corncob pipe. While turning down the
cover of his bed, preparatory to retir-
ing, the pipe fell from the stem onto
the bed, and, unnoticed by the judge,
was covered up by the blankets. He
was soon wrapped in peaceful slumber.
In the morning the watchman on the
first floor discovered the smell of burn
ing rags, and soon traced the trouble
to the judges room. The door was
burst open and the room was found
ablaze, while the judge was barely
alive. A few buckets of water extin-
guished the flames. The bed and bed
ding, carpet and other furniture were
badly burned.
Outside of few slight burns and be-
ing well smoked the judge was unin-
iured. He is all right now, but had
miraculous escape from being inciner-
ated.
The pipe was burned to Trisp, but
the fiddle was uninjured.

SHE Is A LINGulST.
Eight-Year-Old Maria Rose Can Converse
In Four Languages.

Most small girls of S1s years are ac-
counted bright if they can speak toll
eraoly correct English, but Maria
Rose, of that age, talks English, French,
Greek and German as fuently as ma
tives of the various countries where
these languages are spoken.
She is not held up as a prodigy, but
simply an extraordinarily bright and
ambitious girl. Maria Rose was born
in America, and four years ago, ar
orphan, was adopted by DR.. Achilles
Rose, New York physician noted for
his advocating the adoption of the
Greek tongue among medical men of
all nations in order to render inter
course easier. He is unable to explain
the child's talent. She is of fair COM
plexion and has pretty brown hair
and eyes, is quiet, demure, but very
observant. When Maria came to him
she spoke English, and the doctor was
anxious she should learn Greek after
he saw how rapidly she picked up
French. He does not believe in the
ordinary school methods of teaching
Greek, so he imported native Greek
governess, who, with him, talked Greek,
teaching Maria the language by the
conversational method. The child r--
cited and sang in the language before
a medical association, illustrating her
fathers lecture on Greek, and SO
pleased were the physicians that they
sent her an engraved scroll thanking
her for the entertainment. Even Rev,
-Archimandrite Agathordoros Papa
georgopoulos, Greek resident of New
York, was charmed, so no higher prals-
- necessary. Then DR.. Rose procured
a French governess for awhile, and in
short time so proficient was Maria
that one could not tell whether Eng
lsh, French or Greek was her native
tongue.
Not content with these languages she
learned another to surprise the doctor.
She attended the Sacred Heart convent

morning, and but for the timely arrival
OF help Judge George w. Peasants, of
Rock Island, one OF the ablcst and best
known members of that court, would
have been burned to death. As it was
he was badly smoked.
Judge Peasants was not able to at
tend the recent term of court at Spring
field on account of sickness and other
work. He arrived there the other day
quite i'll, and occupied the rooms set
apart for the court in the west wing,
lower floor, of the state capitol building.
The judge is very fond of music, and

LEADER OF ROBBERS.
Startling Charge Brought Against a Min
neapolis Girl.

ShHfSo 0B " 4'Ahh
nespolis Girl.
Minneapolis has young girl who is
said to be the leader of gang of high
waymen, and the other week she was
arrested with them. Edith May White
is her name, says the New York Herald,
and once she was member in good
standing of Baptist church. She is
only is years old and is well known
as a fancy amateur bicyclist. Her fam
lily is very respectable. Evil associa-
tions and the love of a man who is a
highwayman by profession brought her
to her present level. In criminal cir
cles she is known as "Cranberries."
It is quite natural that the girl on
being arrested should deny that she
was the leader of the gang, which con-
