SHORT NEWS STORIES.
Congressman Eddy's Renovated Nicer.
schaum-He Was Overpolite
Final Cal1-The Wars Over.

Representative Eddy of Minnesota has
the cleanest meerschaum pipe in Wash
ington. He is man who makes friend
of his pipe. 1t is his companion when
alone. He dreams over it, philosophers
over it, and it is n sort of condiment to
aid i'll the digestion of the books he
reads. For 90 years or moro he has had
one favorito meerschaum pipe. 1t has
been his pride and the comfort of his
quiet hours. 1t was Il beautiful and OK
pensive pipe when he got it, and year
after year deeper richness of color
came upon it, until it came to DO lust
about as perfect i'll every respect as
moerschaum can be. A few days ago
tho amber stem got broken.
Mr.. Eddy took it to Il foreigner who
has shop on II side street in this city
and who was recommended as a repair
or OF broken novelties. The next day
the member of novelties appeared with
the pipe carefully done up i'll cloth.
"Ah, he said. II dona Il bea- u tiful
repair. 1t is, all, so beautiful lik,
new" and as no unwound the cloth Il
proud smile played across his dark face
Then he held the pipe up to its owners
eyes. a new amber replaced the broken
stem and tho pipe was white and new
looking.
"It was, OH, so dirty. 1 thought L
cleana it, With alcohol and sandpaper,
very fine sandpaper, cleana it beau
tifully."
The pipe had been carefully sandpa-
pered-very carefully sandpapered. -

Bright spars disappearing.

Bright spars, that is to say, unpaint-
ed spars of wood. are fast disappear
ing from the deep-water ships of the
world, for the reason that such ships
are no longer built OF wood, but OF
steel, as are also their lower masts,
and often their top mast, and, it may
be, their yards, too, up to and including
their topgallant yards, and these are al
ways painted. There is a four-masted
British ship now lying at South street
wharf whose only bright spars are her
topgallant masts and jigger topmost.
Excepting her royal yards all the rest
of her spars, bowsprit, lower masts,
topmasts on the three forward masts,
and all her yards below her royals are
OF iron and all painted. Her royal
yards are of wood, but these are paint

ever invented to restore natural organic
strength and power to the delicate ferni-
