different cities of the Pacific Coast
Over 40, 900 attended our public
day exercises, and $50 were in
itiated at night. Four of these

drill, etc. At night we had the
mountain top lit with an immense
fire, which burned for five hours,

NEW PIPE FOR SMOKERS.
Aluminium Tubing UtiIised 10 Eiimi-
nate the "uurn"

hHaN ~
Smokers. especially those who use
the pipe will be interested IN a new
invention 10y Frederick W. Flint night
editor Of the Chicago Record Herald
II is pipe Of novel design that prom
isos to give smokers the unalloyed joys
OF clysium. My Lady Nicotine will
become a more fascinating enchantrcss
than ever before, FOR there will be no
venom to cudanger the health. The new
pipe eliminates the bancful poison
from the smoke, aud the lover Of the
weed will be able TO indulge in his
pleasure without fear OF tobacco
heart or Of a circulation saturated with
nicotine. No longer need the tongue
bc burned. for the now pipe robs the
weed OF It's sting long before the whin-
ing stage is reached Experts in the
pipe business say Mr.. Flint has worked
out an idea that may cause revolu.
tion iu the trade.
The secret of the pipe is In its stem.
which is lngculously contrived TO inter
cept the nicotine and Increase the
smokers enjoyment as well as 10 pro
mote his health. The stem consists Of
a series of small aluminium tubes, con-
nectrd at each end with chambers so
constructed as 60 form one continuous
smoke passage from the bowl to the
mouthplece. In principle the pipe Is
akin 10 a steam radiator, except that
. - Al I.s
air IN the room, while IN the pipe the
air cools the smoke In the tubes. IL is
impossible for person TO burn his
tongue while smoking this pipe.
Another important feature In this
connection is the fact that while the
smoke is being cooled II the moisture
In the smoke is condensed and deposit
ed on the surface OF the tubes. This
settles In the large chambers at the
lower end OF the stem. When these
chambers are nearly full, the smoke In
passing from one tube to another caus
es the nicotine to make bubbline
sound, warning the smoker that It is
time To remove the tube section from
the lower plug ami shake out the nico
tine. This having been done and the
plug replaced, smoking can be resumed
without fear OF getting a tiow of nico
tine into the mouth, an unpleasant ex
pcrience common In using the ordinary
pipe.
All pipes where the smoke does not
pass through water I'm time becom,
foul. To thoroughly cleanse this pip,
II Is only necessary TO have n bowl Of
hot water (or n cup Of alcohol II pre-
ferred), remove the mouthpiece and at
tach in its stead the pump which ac
companies the pipe. a few strokes OF
the pump are sufficient TO wash out th,
stem In a satisfactory manner. leaving
II practically as clean and frssh as
when IL was new.

Marietta. Ga., August 10. 1901. Mrs A. L. Dowdell. President Alabama
 Division U. D. C.. Montgomery. My Dear Madam-I have been re- quested by kennesaw Chapter. U. D. C.. to send you the enclosed list of soldiers from your State. who are buried in the Confederate cemetery here. There are 5000 soldiers in this cemetery, repre- senting eeery Southern State from Maryland to Texas. and since the war the Memorial Association, latterly aided by Kennesaw Chapter. has cared for this sacred spot. We have been strug- sling to place the 5000, ,headstones need ed and to erect simple monument to these silent heroes. but our opportuni- ties and means for obtaining the neces- sary money are sadly limited, and we appeal to you to help us, if possible. The headstones. by buying in large lots and getting special rates, can be put in for x cents each. Can you not send us from the treasury '-aur State Di- vision. U. D. C., or from other sources. sum sufficient to pay for the head stones t2a6) for the Alabama plot?
 These lists we have copied at some trouble from the records. If published in your State papers they may aid rela- tives in discovering the last resting place of loved ones long lost. and also awaken an interest in our work. Tn any event. I trust you can see your way clear to help us. l know the many calls but it seems to me that this is a duty which is imperative. These names belong to history, and we trust that you will have the list placed in your State archives.
 We have part of the 5000 head stones in place, but have been unable. so far. to put in the others. Fires. started by sparks of passing railroad engines. have swept over the cemetery entirely destroying the original head boards which were so carefully placed at each grave. With high regard and best wishes. believe me, yours truly,

"My Black Nanny"

One of the most unique and pictur- esoue developments of Southern slavery was the mutual love and tenderness that existed between the black man. mics" and the white children. These servants were constantly associated with their refined and cultivated mis- tresses. They almost instinctively copied the manners and graces of the people they served. many black marnmy had the manners of courtly lady. many an old "daddie" the man. ners of Chesterfield. In almost every Southern home nanny" was the central figure She was the one, who first received in her strong arms every white baby, confident that she would give it every care that love could prompt. Her fidelity to the trust was wonderful. and her sympathy and af- lection for the baby was often un- bounded. It was she who guided the first. tottering footsteps. It was she who first told the wonderful tales that charms the ear of childhood. Of "Brer Rabbit Tar Baby" and like marvels of romance. Her sweet voice crooned the lullabies that lie in the threshold of Baby-land. The years, as they went by. but strengthened the bonds between nanny and the white chill dren. She was a careful custodian of LnS1r mdnneES anu aSSoC'dlAotS' I0e must behave" was an admOnition that was always needed. In every event in life, in sorrow and in joy, mammy's 8 faithful heart beat like the echo of "her white folks" The sons and daughters of the household as they grew up and scattered. still kept her in remem-
 brance. the married children, the manly
 son off at college, always sent her a
 present at Christmas. or other festive
 occasion. accompanied by the kindest
 messages. Nothing did she pride her
 self in more than belonging to quality
 white folks and great was her scorn
 for white buckras." as the lower class
 of poor white people was then called.
 Shrined in the unwritten history. of a thousand Southern homes is the history of the faithful devotion of some black woman. The above is a true portraiture
