PIPE SMOKED BY RALEIGH.
Quaint Relic that Is Descended from
Eiizabeth's Time.

Quaint Relic that Is Descended from
Eiiznbetli's Time.
During the last fortnight Americans
In London have been hocking to the
shipping exhibition in Whitechapel to
see q relic Of United States history
which will be interesting likewise to
their countrymen at home. This Is
nothing less than the pipe smoked by
Sir Walter Raleigh, which Is also, Of
course, the first ever smoked in this
country, the famous courtier Of Queen
Elizabeth having introduced the fra
grant weed" in England on his return
from America. The pipe belongs to
the Prince Of Wales, who always has
seen to it's being guarded most care
fully. There is little doubt that this Is
the pipe that Sir Walter was enjoying
when his servant, frightened ut the
cloud of smoke, dashed pail Of cold
water over his master to extinguish
the flames which he thought were
threatening the knights life. 1t Is
probable, too, that Raleigh used this
pipe when he demonstrated to Queen
Elizabeth the weight of given
amount of smoke by weighing some to-
bacco, smoking it and weighing the
ashes.
Even more interesting than these,
however, are the associations OF the
pipe with the latter part of the court
favorite's life. 1t was his constant COM
panion when he placed the battlement
outside the prison at the tower OF
London while composing his history Of
the world.
To this day the window in the white
tower is pointed out where Sir Walter
smoked his pipe rs he watched his
rival, the Earl of Essex, walk to the
scaffold erected on the green just be-
low, and there is equally trustworthy
substantiation for the tradition that
this was the pipe the knight carried
with him to the block when 1t came ms
turn to take 1.-The sharp medicine but
cure for all diseases"
For many years the pipe was part
OF the Duke of Cambrldge's collection,
who, though not great user OF TO-
bacco. has one OF the finest collections
of pipes and snuff boxes in the king
dom. While the present Prince or
Wales was an active naval officer the
duke gave him Raleighs pipe ana ms
royal highness has guarded 1t as Il
cherished possession. Before he allow
cd Il to go to Whitechapel exhibition
he insisted that 1t be insured Tor
$4,000, and 1t is doubtful whether It
will ever leave the royal cabinet again,

English Rolled pndding.

Boiled pastry should be prepared
with chopped and sifted suet instead
of lard or butter, but otherwise in the
same manner as pie pastry. Roll jam
or preserved fruit out into a thin
sheet; spread over a thick layer of
fruit, and then, commencing at one
side, roll carefully until all the fruit
Is inclosed within the paste; pinch to-
gether at the ends, and tie up in n
strong cotton cloth, then drop into n
pot OF boiling water. The cherry is
the best for this purpose, or some other
fruit possessing acidity. TO be served.

Sheen for Mutton.

Mutton as human food is gaining
rapidly In reputation. So much Inn
provement has been made in the meth
DDS of breeding, fattening, slaughter
ing and ripening mutton that a great
army of people who were once preju-
diced against it no longer find any
thing the matter with it. Good au-
thorities predict that the time Is rapid
" approaching when as many sheep
and lambs will be slaughtered in this
country as there are hogs and cattle
slaughtered now. History shows us
that in old countries mutton Is tia
poor mans meat The reason for this
Is that it can be raised at less cost.

A oNE-MAN CORN SLED.

The object of the long runner is to
keep the sled froLi bucking to one
side. which is caused by the cutting
being all done on one side. We stand
I'D to cut in large corn, and put on a
box and sit down in small. 1t is q
waste of labor to knock the corn down
on sled and pick it up again. Keep 1t
up In your arms. The single sled Is
now preferred to the double ones here.

To Prevent Black Rot.

AS a preventive of black rot in vine
yards next season the North Carolina
experiment station recommends that
all dead leaves and rotten grapes be
raked up and removed and rotten
grapes clinging to the vines and trel-
Uses picked off.
Loose shredded bark that can be
readily pulled from the vines prun-
ings, dead grass and weeds should be
burned; in fact, anything capable of
harboring the dustlike spore should be
destroyed or taken away.
While the vines are still in dor
mant condition, spray with the copper
sulphate solution, thoroughly wetting
the vines and posts, and paying par
ticular attention to punches of tendrils
or rough surfaces on the posts that
would be likely to retain the spores. 1t
Is much easier to keep black rot out of
a vineyard once cleaned than to keep
it down in vineyard not cleaned.

Then, as he did not answer immedi-
ately, she said. gently: II don't think
that you quite understand what scene
l referred to- but I'll show you in a
moment, If you'll just hand me the
manuscript"
"The manuscript" he queried,
blankly.
He took two turns up and down the
room, then faced her, crimson and
crestfallen.

him, smilingly.

despairingly.
And as he went out of the house he
held a brief, Intellectual conversation
with the butler, punctuated with 20
bill, and then paced the street for
many hours-prey to thought OF for
gerry and flight.
IT was the next morning, and he
had been talking volubly and long on
different subjects when she ut length
managed to get in word.

"What?" he answered quickly. The

"Tbat was a waste of time" she
said impatiently, land so is this what
is the use hiding the truth any longer!
WHY will you not acknowledge that
you've lost my manuscript

dopeedly. NOT CAS- she stared at
him in amazement( If that manu-

And he turned to go. But she was
already ut his elbow, and there was
something in her hand-a typewriter

The value Of cattle foods depends
largely upon their dlgestibility. There

centrated foods by giving bulk to the
mess and separating the materials, es.

ment may have kept these same fields
under the plow for years, making 1t
more uncertain to secure catch, and
recurring more acres, every year, to
secure the requisite amount OF grain.

clover because seed Is dear.

Asparagus for the Family.

One hundred plants Will furnish the
average family with supply Of this
most delicious early vegetable. They
should not cost over 81, and hence In
stead of being looked upon as luxury
it should be common in every family
garden. Rich sandy soil is best, but
it will thrive in any soil If given q
reasonable show. Palmetto, Conov-
ers, Colossal and Baris Mammoth are
recommended as very satisfactory va
rieties. The plants should be set as
early in the spring as possible. in rows
80 inches apart and IS in the row.
Plant in holes or trench. six inches
deep, filling it up gradually, and do not
cut the stalks, except sparingly, until
the third season. 1t readily responds
to good care and fertilization and
should be literally top-dressed with
manure each fall.

How to Market the Butter.


ing butter that has that fragrant
flavor that distinguishes the produce of
many farm diaries, often make the mis-
take Of keeping the butter on hand too
long after it is made before marketing
it. 1t will be found that however pal
atable it may be, and however good
the flavor it possesses when first made,
it will have escaped after too long
keeping. Even when transported long
distances it loses It's diStinctiveness
while in transit. In fact, it seems that
butter which possesses to a large de-
gree this much-desired flavor deterio,
rates much quicker than an inferior
kind AS consequence Of this, the
farmers wife who makes superior
article which has local reputation for
excellence should endeavor to dispose
of the product to local tDade, or at
least sell it so near home that it will
be but day or two between the churn
and the customer. This can be easily
managed in almost any locality where
there Is market for 1t by securing
list Of private customers and furnish
1t to them direct as they need it. This
class Of patrons are much more profit
able year in and year out than the city
hotels or the commission houses or
those customers who buy in the gen
eral market.
