POWHATAN PIPES.
Made From q Peculiar Kind of Virginia
Clay and Made Sweet by Fire.


Clay and Made Sweet by Fire.
The old coasting captain was gazing
upon crudely shaped red clay pipe
which he smoked at the end of long.
many jointed reed stem, while he filled
the ears of the observant Jersey man
with its praises.
IF you want the sweetest pipe in
the world, 4" he said. "you must get one
of these. They are the original Pow
hatan pipes made il Powhatan county,
Va, out of a peculiar blue clay which
is found there in little nodules and fin
ished i'll peculiar way.
1.-The genuine Powhatan pipe can
never be found north of Baltimore, and
it is easier to get one in Norfolk than
in Baltimore. If you begin smoking
enc, ulwill discard your Ineerschaums
and brier woods and smoke nothing
else When 1t gets strong, you merely
put it into the fire and burn it sweet
again The imitation Powhatan pipes
would crack to pieces if you try to burn
them sweet, but the genuine can be
thrust i'll safety right into the bright
Goals, although, of course, it is better
to let them heat moSe gradually"
Under the stimulus of this praise the
observant Jerseyman sent to a friend in
Norfolk for half dozen of the pipes.
After time he received them, with
bill for 75 cents for the pipes and So for
the trouble Of finding them.
IF you had not told me that the pipes
sold two for quarter, his friend
wrote, II should never have got the
right kind for you. went to almost
every tobacconist in Norfolk hunting
for them. Each ore showed me pipe
which looked about the same as these,
but was only 10 cents. Finally, one
day, after l had about given up the
search, happened TO mention it to a
longshoreman. There is only one shop
in Norfolk, he said where you can get
the genuine Powhatan pipe. That is
little place down along the river front
He gave Inc the address, and there 1
found them. -
The observant Jorseyman has smoked
the Powhatan pipe many times since
then, and he still believes the old cap
tain's praise was warranted. On the
caution label which came about each
pipe it is said that the peculiar quail
ties of the genuine pipes are due to the
fact that they are finished by hand pol
ishing instead of a glazing, thus leav
ing to the clay all of its natural porosi-
ty and absorbent qualities. York

HAPPENS ONLY I'M NOVELS.
British Emigration English Writers See
It and 1t Really Is.

England no doubt loves us dearly,
but the English authors have not yet
discovered that fact in its entirety.
Clark Russell, Max Pemberton and An
thony Hope, to say nothing of Conan
Doyle and Rudyard Kipling, viii have
it that all Americans are Yankees al
though they would resent the charge
that all Englishmen are cockneys.
Another symptom of the drift is in
relation to emigration. from Great Brit
ain. Statistics show that an enormous
number of people come to this country
from Great Britain, but the nOvelists
never heard of it. Micawber and his
interesting family went to Australia
and got rich. So did every other emf
grant that Dickens sent abroad, unless,
like Martin ChuZZlewit and Mark Tap
ley, they were sent to this country to
point a moral and adorn a tale. All
English writers resemble Dickens in
that respect. In their stories the emf
grants all go to Australia, Canada, At
rica-anywhere but the United States.
This trait comes under the head of
loyalty to the crown. - They know per-
fectly well that tho British enigrant,
unless assisted by a British society,
takes himself and belongings to this
country, and even if the society kindly
lands him in Canada he takes the first
chance of skipping over the border. The
only time he goes to the colonies"
with cheerful alacrity is in the pages of
a British novel.-Chicago Times-Her-
