Ccrncob Pipes and Teetee Stems

The manufacture of corncob pipes
has become q considerable industry at
Beaufort, S. G. Special machinery has
been made for the purpose, and an ex-
pert turner is employed to carve out the
bowls, which are of many designs. The
cobs are Of a particular corn grown in
the Missouri 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 canebrakes along the Port
Royal railroad in lots of 60, 600 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 teetee stem.
The teetee is a shrub, the botanical
name Of which is Cliftonia ligustrina.
1t grows up in long, straight, point
less stem, with soft center pith and
of various circumferences, from the size
Of an ordinary pipcstem to that Of the
little finger. 1t has enjoyed the reputa-
ton, from the aborigines and among
southern planters and others, who have
ever used it in preference to any other,
not excepting the cherry or fig stem, Of
best absorbing the nicotine and afford
ing grateful and fragrant taste. -Sa-

Prefers an C3per Berth.

When his company left Philadelphia
to plav IN Boston, everybody bat Mr..
BARRYMORE succeeded in getting lower
sleeping berth. Some of the ether mem
bers of the company thought it good
joke, and one by one they approached
him and inquired why it was that he
seemed to prefer al upper berth AT
last Mr.. Barrymore grew weary Of tho
questioning and began to explain.
"I'u tell why" said he. when l
first began to travel, years ago, the
wheel of car OH q train passing Us flew
off and killed a man in lower No. o.
The chap over him never got scratch.
Later On a fellow threw a rock at the
car, and it entered the window Of lower
No. 4 and broke the sleeper's thigh
man over him never woke up. Again, a
car was on ran over a lot of dynamite
man in lower No. Z was blown up
with the floor and killed, bat the one
over him didn't even know that any
thing had happened. Last, but not
least
WHAT" inquired Stephen Grattan.
Il always undress, same as at ho-
tel. There's no telling when al accident
may come. In case the car goes off the
upper berth is apt to close up, and you
are thus secure from the gaze Of the vul-
gar public until the porter can put up a
tent alongside the track and get your
clothes there and help you to dress.
Modesty is my chief reason, but as all
you fellows broke your necks to get
lower berths of course l can't expect
you to understand or appreciate it. -

The British Army's Retired List.

According to a table in The Broad
Arrow, we have Oh the active list field
marshals, 20 generals, 80 lieutenant
generals, ll6 major generals and 20 To-
Cal major generals and brigadiers, or in
all as many as PIP. On retired pay we
have 65 generals, 65 lieutenant generals,
1S4 major generals, or in all 314, On
the unemployed Indian list we have l7S
generals. 63 lieutenant generals and 442
major generals and some of other, often
nominal, sorts of generals. III all there
are field marshals, 2G4 generals, lS3
lieutenant generals, 1854 major eener-
ais, 90 local major generals and briga-
diers, thus giving grand total of l,7SS
general officers. With 1,526 generals
who have no work to do it is no wonder
that the noneffective vote is so heavy or
that India, which carries nearly half of
them on her shoulders, is crushed under
the burden of taxation in the raising Of
which she has no voice. ce.-London Chron-

They walked down the steps OF tho

sat the shoemaker hard at work. In

sides black smoke was issuing. There
was no stovepipe to convey the smoke
to the fue. sThe pipe was lying Ill a
corner and was bent and broken.

a committeeman. why don't you put

NOT USING THE STOVEPlPE.
Case of Literal Observance of a Fire
Inspectors Instructions.


Inspectors Instructions.
A day or two ago Fire Inspector
Sharp entered shoe shop in a Broad
street basement for the pcrpose Of max
ing an inspection. The owner of the
shop is all old negro man who has
known Inspector Sharp for many years,
and he was highly delighted at the
honor bestowed upon him. When he
was informed that the stovepipe was in
such fix that it might set the building
on fire and was told not to use it any
longer, he entered no protest and said:
'No, sab, MarSe Sharp; she sho
gwinter come down dis day.
A few lines on Inspector Sharp's
notebook told of the condemnation of
the f1ue, and he went on his way, Civ
ing no further thought to this particu-
lar case.
A short while afterward a Elan pass
ing along the street stopped in front Of
the building under which the shop is
located. He smelled something burning,
but passed on, thinking it was smoke
from locomotive. Then another man
stopped. He saw smoke coming through
the sidewalk grating. He pointed it out
