THE MEBRsOHAUM CENTENARY.

To those who find soothing delight in
the after-dinner pipe, or who, on care-free
evenings, reclining in chairs of ease, love
to court the fancies that rise and wave
about in the wreathing smoke, and van
lsh, only to be followed by troops of
others with every succeeding puff, the
present year unfolds tale OF interest;
and this interest will be hundred-fold
greater If the smoker has once touched
his lips to the sllicate gathered on the
plains OF Eski-shehr. This year, in fact,
records the centenary of the meerschaum
pipe.
The man who possesses meerschaum
pipe deems himself blessed beyond the
common run OF mortals. He guards it as
he would the choicest gem. When he has
enjoyed its solace for q time. he carefully
puts it away in satin-lined case, and
secures 1t In his treasure-house, perhaps.
till the hour shall come again to welcome
it to his lips and pleasure. Woe be to the
wretch who would scratch or mar that
pipe, which smokers have hailed as a gift
OF the gods. Its owner watches, with a
species of delight, its changing color,
from snowy whiteness to creamy tint,
from which it then gradually takes on a
hue OF brown. until. after years of use, it
reaches finally brilliant. deep chestnut
brown, nearly black. He waxes it all this
time that it may color evenly, and is par
ticular to handle only the amber mouth
piece when he smokes. But, OF course,

LIGHT ON A MYSTERIOUS WORD.

There are any number Of queer items in a
tarin Dill. Who can tell, at first thought or
after day Of careful study for that matter,
anything about pulu, or divi.divi, or styrax,
or calamine, or osmium, or any other of the
thousand-and-one curious names for still
more curious articles that have to be enumer-
ated?
All OF which is preliminary to story which
veteran member of Congress told to Wash
lngton Post reporter the other day. 1t seems
that for number of years there was in the
tarif laws duty OF 60 per cent ad vaIorem
imposed upon 'alkakange." There it stood
IN all Its glory, duly assessed, resisting all ef-
Iorts 10 place 1t either on the Tree list or to
req uce the duty When Judge Kelley OF PENN
syiyanfa was the Chairman Of the Committee
on Ways and Means some tariff items had to

made that perhaps duty of 80 per cent upon
all kakange" would be sufficient. But all the
members OF the com mmittee, Horace Maynard,
and Schenck and Austin Blair, STOOD up in
earnest protest
"What Is 'alkakange,' anyhow" asked q

PATRIOTISM IN THE SCHOOLS.

A fitting and beautiful prelude to Me-
mortal day was the Lincoln CELEBRATION
by the myriads of school children of the
City, assisted by veterans of the Grand
Army. Nothing more inspiriting, in a
patriotic sense, can well be imagined in
this time of peace than the spectacle of
hite-haired soldiers, clad as of old in
uniforms of blue, bending their aged
forms to greet the shining faces of the
little boys and girls at school, and to the
new generation = listening with eager
ness-breathing some recollections of the
war IN which the union of States was ce-
mentsd forever by the blood of the Re-
public loyal citizens.
Our schools and their teachers merit
hearty commendation in tho premises
To their credit be it said that the Grand
Army orators who were selected to tell
the children something about Abraham
Lincoln found to their surprise and de-
light that even the smallest of the pupils
knew almost as much as they about the
great emancipator. Such was the story at
every school, and not single child could
fail to be impressed by those exercises
with high sense of country pride ana
love for the flag and all the flag means.
The children of our schools are the
hope of the Nation. Its future depends
upon their loyalty and devotion. Then it
is not only right and just, but imperative,
that lessons OF patriotism should be taught
in schools throughout the length and
breadth of the land.
We have history as glorious as that of
any nation that the sun shines on, and
names that glow as brightly on the scroll
OF lame as any that Greece or Rome pro-
duced. Our pride, as Nation, should be
as strong as our own annals are glorious;
and especially should we cherish those
examples of moral worth, firm character,
sublime courage and splendid heroism
that adorn our countrys story from the
beginning.
Lincoln day should be set apart on the
calendar for like appropriate recognition
and celebration in each succeeding year.
In score of years from now there will be
no more Grand Army on the field of life;
but while our schools put forth pupils
armed with such knowledge and apprecia.
tion of their country's history as the San
Francisco public schools to-day assure
there need be no fear for the future.
Then, If ever foe should assail US, no mat
ter whence or in what guise he comes, or
how numerous his ships or great his
armies, there will be no dearth of Lin
coins; there will be no dearth of Grants.
Their spirits will be with US, and that
means victory for our flag.

FOR FREE CUBA.

The appeal issued py the Cuban League
OF the United States for a National sub
scription of 81. 900, 600 to aid the cause of
Cuban independence is an evidence that
the friends of the patriots in this country
have not allowed their energies to be re-
laxed by reason OF the Frightening pros
pect of success, but are as active as ever
in speeding the struggle and fastening it
to an early and victorious consum m alton.
There is every reason to believe that if
prompt aid is given to the Cubans now
the long protracted war can be brought to
close before the end of the year. The
Spaniards are despondent, while the Gu
bans are flushed with victory and san
guine Of success. Every report from the
island brings news of additional defeats
for the Spaniard and triumphs for the
patriots. Weyler has ceased to make even
prstense of campaigning in the field and
confines his efforts to maintain his garri-
sons in the scattered for.resses with which
the provinces are dotted. This is clearly
significant OF the approaching end. When
an invading army abandons the aggres-
sive and seeks only to defend itself its
final surrender can only be question OF
time.
There are tides in the affairs OF men
which, taken at the food, lead on to for
tune" That tide came in the American
Revolution when CORVALLIS stopped in
his march from the southern to the north
ern colonies and intrenched himself at
Yorktown to await aid from England. II
was Washington's opportunity, and for
tunately, by the aid of the French feet
and French munitions Of war, he was able
to take advantage of it and strike the de-
cisive blow. The tide has come for Cuba
now. II We can give to her but portion
of the assistance France gave to US Cuba
will be free.
The appeal issued by the Cuban League
Is most timely and opportune. Money
advanced for Cuban independence now
will bring a sure and speedy return. With
the amount asked the patriots will be able
to arm themselves, and Garcia can assume
the aggressive and force tho Spaniards to
take to their ships for safety. There
ought, therefore, to be prompt response
to the appeal. Colonel Ethan Allen, pres
ident of the league, in dispatch to Mayor
Phslan urging contributions in this City
says: "The country will follow. New
York will do her part" This is indeed
no local movement. The independence of
Cuba is an American cause, and all Amer
leans should give to 1t sympathy. encour-
sgement and help.
