mEERsoHAUM IS NOT EXPENSIVE
Cost Depends Largely in Carving OF
the Pipes.

10 WA ENF EtS0EVL
Cost Depends largely in Carving OF
the Pipes.
Fire in a ~pipemaker's shop the other
day spoiled the proprieter's stock Of
meerschaum, and incidentally disposed
of the idea, common in most smokers
minds, that the commodity is very ex-
pensive. Meerschaum itself is not
very expensive. That used by the
manufacturers in this country is i'm
ported as a raw material from Austria,
and most of it is obtained in Asia
Minor.
Usually there are three or four diff
ferent grades, running from the rough
and mixed to the pure and finely
grained article. There is no duty upon
it. The chunks, not unlike camel coal
in shape, are packed in oblong boxes,
about two feet and a half long, a foot
wide and q foot high. The raw mate
rial is quite brittle and has to be soak
ed in water before it is used for model
ing.
Meerschaum pipes are expensive be-
cause much of the material from
which the bowls are made has to be
thrown away before a piece, Is found
that has no flaws in it. The shavings,
however, are never wasted. They are
used to make a cheaper grade Of pipes,
which are known as chip meer-
schaums.-New York Post.

Ills Saving Grace.

Economy is the order Of the day
among the reigning families of Eu-
rope. Whereas in times gone by the
very word royal" implied a reckless
disregard for money and extrava-
gance, it now stands for something
~perilously approaching close-fsted-
ness. Extravaganza is left to the
new-rich. To begin with King Ed
ward. 1t is no hearsey that as soon
as he came to the throne he appoint
ed his friend, Lord FarQuhar, to be
master of his household, and Lord
Farquhar Immediately set to work to
do away with all unnecessary expens-
es, to dismiss all superfluous officials
and servants, to get the largest posCi.

OH StraWharrH RcdS.

Fruit growers are discussing the
advantage of new strawberry beds
every year compared with allowing a
bed to bear crops for two or more
years. Now that the strawberry crop
has been harvested in this section
for this season, attention should be
given the bed, as old beds require
considerable labor if they are to be
put to use again next year, and the
value of the old bed depends upon the
treatment given from this time until
next spring. Usually the strawberry
bed is a mass of weeds and grass,
unless it has been kept in excellent
condition from the time the young
plants were set out until the present,
but the first duty now is to get rid OF
the weeds before they produce seed.
Some growers NOW the rows and the
work carefully with the hoe, leaving
the rows as narrow as possible, n
working between the rows well with
the c%ultivator.
The results of the second year
with strawberries depend largely upon
the amount of fertilizer supplied the
first season, as well as upon the guam
tity used the second year. II the
bed has been cleaned completely OF
weeds, and the soil between the rows
well worked, the grower should apply
fertilizer now, placing it close to the
plants, along the outside OF each row.
A fertilizer consisting largely OF phos-
phate and potash should be used. as
the nitrogen should be applied early
in the spring, owing to its solublllty,
but in cases where ground fish is used
the nitrogen is not sc easily carried
away by rains. Matted rows, ii such
are preferred by growers, should have
the fertilizer broad-casted over the
rows, but if matted rows are used they
should at least be greatly reduced in
width.
Growers who rely upon only one
r from a strawberry bed claim that
it is better to use all the fertilizer the
plants can appropriate the first year,
so as to secure the largest possible
Weld, and plant the old bed to late
cabbages, as the fertilizer left over
In the soil and not appropriated by
the strawberry plants should produce
cabbages Of extra size and quality.
It Ia claimed also that by growing
some other crop on the old strawberry
bed the insect enemies Of the straw
berry are more easily kept down, and
that diseases of the plants do nSt
spread so rapidly when the crop Is
grown upon a new plot every season.
Everything depends upon the labor,
however, and the growers who aim to
get two crops instead of one, and keep
the land in Strawberries two years, are
inclined to suppose that they save
labor and fertilizers the second year:
but when it is considered that the
blowing under of an old bed adds con-
siderable plant food to the soil, n
that some other profitable crop can
be grown thereon, it is probable that
the grower will save labor by having
fewer insects and diseases to contend
with by making new beds every
spring. A good crop Of strawberries
viii produce more bushels per acre
than corn, and except when harvest
ing the berries, the crop requires no
more attention than corn. Much OF
the labor on corn is done after it is
harvested, while the strawberry bed,
if kept clean early in the year, may
entail but little labor upon the grower
until the next spring.-Philadelphia
Record.

THEY DO NOT AGREE.

The Republican Campaign Book calls on
the voters TO hold up the tariff even against
necessary Cuban products, and assigns as a
reason that the wages of the workingman
have advanced, the farmers have grown fat
and saucy that the cost of living has not in.
creased. II admits that great corporations
have been losing money and that they are
trying 10 save themselves by combination 10
reduce expenses. President Roosevelt is
travelling in an opposite course. He init.
mates that the bars should be let down
enough 10 let in reciprocity with Cuba and
even says combinations Of capital and In.
dustries are dangerous and must be restrain.
cd by law-the constitution and statutes of
the United States.
There is another variance with the state.
ments OF the campaign book, that will be
noted by laborers, that wages have advanced,
and by farmers that they have grown rich
by prosperity, and both will contradict the
charge that the cost of living has not in
creased. AS Roosevelt has embraced the
Democratic idea that Cuba is entitled to
reciprocity and that the trusts be should re-
strained and as the only hope of accomplish.
ing these things is by the election OF a Demo.
cratic Congress, the only consistent votes the
followers of Roosevelt can give Is for Demo.
cratic candidates for Congress.

GOOD ADVICE.

Representative William Walton Kitchin,
of North Carolina, a prominent Democrat,
has just concluded successful campaigning
tour in Maine, where he met with warm
reception.
Mr.. Kitchin is making bis campaign very
largely on the trust question. He does not
believe the idea Of having publicity of the
accounts of trusts is satisfactory or sufl-
cient means for handling that question:
He Is not an advocate OF legislation, but
lavors the strict execution of the penal code
OF the anti trust law as means of curbng
the rapacity OF over greedy corporations.
That penal clause provides for fining TO
the extent of 5000 or imprisoning for
twelve months any one who "monopoizes
or attempts TO monopolize" a commodity.
He believes that the fear Of spending twelve
months in prison is the real thing that lie
sure TO exercise restraining influence on
monopolists. He tells his audience that the
administration could enforce that provision
il 1t 30 desired, and claims that their failure
10 do 30 indicates that what Is needed is a
Democratic administration.
"Vote the Democratic ticket" Is his sen.
sible advice to all anti monopolists. This
Is quick and certain way of getting at the
trusts and he thinks ii is the best way TO do
II, and Is doubtless correct.

HE DON'T KNOW THEM

There is something grotesque in the Pres.

lican party IN the South because of the cor.
ruption of their machines and their avidity
for office. 1t would seem that nothing but
lack of knowledge of the existing cond.
tons in the South could have prompted
such waste of breath. For an intelligent
politician to assume that the Republican
machines In the South exist for any other
purpose than for the division of spois be
speaks an ignorance or an overestimate OF
the credulity of the people which is sur.
prising Leading Democrats are surprised

hand, the leaders of the Republican party
