R2lAR PIPES.
Signs by Which a Smoker Can Tell a
Coed One.

SSSd oitSs
1t is strange, and yet it is a fact, that
the English workman is of no use in
the manufacture Of pipes. The most
skillful artisans are either the Austri-
ans or the French. The pipemakers are
very select, small body, and observe
every precaution to prevent their trade
being learned by outsiders. The work.
men are clever and they can earn high
wages.
Speaking of the cost cf a pipe sue
cessful manufacturer remarks: when
the blocks arrive over here they are
at once sorte|i Out of one gross Of
blocks I rar.ly ever get more than
three or four pieces of wood for the
ordinary everyday pipe. The remaining
seven dozen pieces of wood are thrown
into the furnace, and L might mention
help considerably to generate the nee
essary steam power for the machinery.
Thus fully so per cent. Of the material
/ purchase is of no use whatever, and
it is this extraordinary amount Of
waste that causes the briar pipe to be
so expensive.
The prevailing defect, may mention
by the way, is generally in the form
of q crack ia the wood. / used to sell
these defective blocks of briar at a
penny apiece, and have sent away as.
many as 10000 condemned briars at
time, but now | burn them all. The
briars were sent abroad and the cracks
and flaws stopped with putty or some
other composition and then STEPPED in
strong solution of permanganate Of
potash. which deeply cOlored the wood
and made the defect invisible except
on close inspection. All those briars.
you see of very deep color have
passed through the permanganate of
potash bath, and you may rest assured
that there is a defect somewhere-the
would not be that color if it were not
so, because natural briar Is of a medi-
um light hue.
"As to the average life of briar
pipe, you may take 1t for granted that
a pipe will last you as many years as
it costs you shillings. That is to say, If
you pay six shillings for a pipe if you
are a moderate smoker, it will last you
six years. The style OF briar pipe that
is mostly Ia demand is that with a
bowl cut the straight way of the grain.
This is not the most reliable kind Of
pipe. as the sudden expansion by the
heat and contraction OF the wood when
you stop smoking cause ii to split in a
short time. The best pattern of brlar
is that with bowl the grain of which
| is very notified in appearance, or, as
the trade call 1t, the 'bird's-eye grain
! This will never split"

Hanna and Trusts,

Senator Hanna and Representative
Payne have denounced in violent lam
guage the assertion printed In the
Washington City Star that Repub-
lican member of the House had stated
to one Of its reporters that the tariff
bill was adopted as the result Of a
deal between the trusts and the Re-
publican party, the former agreeing
to furnish an immense campaign fund
In return. The Star, which III Re-
publican paper, clean and non-sensa-
tional, has replied as followers:
'The interview was had, as reported
IN the Star Friday, with Republican
member OF the House who supported
the Porto Rican tariff bill with HE
vote. 1t was written a very short
time after the conversation between
the representative and the Star repor-
ter closed. This fact can be supper
ted by the oatn OF the man who wrote
the interview, who is perfectly willing
10 take oath to it," Something more
than denials will be necessary to ST.
lence this assertion.

1t is beginning TO dawn upon

OF the general indifference that the

Mother of Trusts.

Evidence bearing on the "tarifr the
mother OF trusts" assertion is furnished
by the figures in regard to lead, which
is in the hands OF one OF the most
rapacious trusts in the country. Lead
is sold in London for $3 go a hundred
pounds and in New York for $4.70.
The difference in price represents the
Dingley tariff, by means of which the
trust is aole to extort some $4,000, 900
year from the American consumers.
Lead enters into the composition OF
every house that is built and into that
OF thousands Of other articles. 1t will
be seen therefore that the tariff fosters
the trust and enables it to put its hands
into the pockets of every man in
the country and that the trust further
takes full advantage Of it's opportuni-
ties.
