The Expense In Not i'm the Raw Ma
terial But i'm the Making
of the Pipes.

A fire in a pipe-maker's shop tho
other day spoiled the proprietor's
stock of meerschaum, and incidentally
disposed of the idea, common in most
smokers minds, that this commodity
is very expensive. Meerschaum itself
is not expensive. That used by the
manufacturers in this country is i'm.
ported as raw material from Austria,
but most of it is obtained in Asia
Minor. Usually there are three or four
different grades. running from the
rough and mixed to the pure and fine
~ grained article. There is no duty
upon it. The chunks, not unlike Cam
mel coal in shape. are packed in OBJ
long boxes, about two feet and a half
long, foot wide, and foot high. The
raw material is quite brittle and has
to be soaked in water before it is used
for modelling. -
Meerschaum pipes are expensive,
says the New York Post, because much
Of the material from which the bowls
are made has to be thrown away be-
fore a piece is found that has no
flaws in it. The shavings, however, are
never wasted. They are used to make
cheaper grade of pipes. which are
known as chip meerschaums.

INSTRUCTION BY PH0NoGRAPH
Correspondence Schools Now Use 1t ia
Teach Various Languages to
Students,

Correspondence schools which un.
dertake to teach languages by mail
have found useful adjunct in their
system in the monograph. In ad.
dition to the usual instruction papers,
which give the student a reading
knowledge of language, a speaking
knowledge may be gained by the ex.
change of record cylinders between
instructor and pupil. It is claimed
that by this means the student may
acquire perfect pronunciation, since
he can repeat the photograph lesson
as often as he finds necessary, and
thus impress upon his memory every
detail of pronunciation and inflec-
ton.
If the student can avoid acquiring
the Punch and Judy tone of the pho-
nograph, says the. New York Times,
there would seem to be no reason
why this method should not be An
extremely good one. One can imag-
inc that the temptation to initiate its
peculiar squeak, especially in French.
..would be almost irresistible. The
idea constitutes one of the most prac-
teal uses yet made OF the phono-
graph.

TIE AMERICAN FARMER.
This Writer Calls Him . Reader, N
Observer, . Politician and
Power.

When farming was conducted on a
small scale, limited to the mere eff
cheney of the farmer and his sons, it's
interests were narrow and its circum-
stances mean, writes Frank M. Todd
in Ainslee's. Its rewards were so
meager that the SHRED hand" was
often better off at the years end than
the man who owned the land, took
the chances and worried away his d.
gestion over the mortgage. The gen
erous moods of nature were examples
too expensive to be initiated, and close
listed parsimony was exalted as the
chief of the virtues.
To-day that is changed over large
area. of the country. On the. great
bonanza farms of the west man with
10000 acres under his care, and hun
dreds of men in his.employ, is figure
of Importance. His intimate concern
with the worlds affairs makes him q
reader, an observer, often a politician
and a power. Even 10000 acres is too
small for him to confine himself to.
His great business demands that he
travel. He must go7to Duluth, to Min
neapolis, to Chicago, to Buffalo and
to New York. A small mistake, a
failure to sell at the right time, or to
discard an old machine. and adopt a
new one, may cost him thousands. He
is working his brain as hard as he can,
and calling ON his faculties for all
they will! do. He is bringing himself
and his business more and more into
touch with the modern spirit, and
through combination with his neigh
bors is making agriculture more and
more power in the land.

ALL HE NEEDED WAS TIME.
Railroad oEcia1 Got Even in a Game
OF Poker by Prolonsins q -
Journey.

Some years ago man now way
up in railroad circles held a position
with the Central branch road, just
big enough to enable him to take a
trip over the line now and then in
a special car, says the Kansas City
Journal. He was somewhat Of q
poker player and occasionally would
invite some of his friends who knew
tho game to take trip over the line
with him. On one of the return trips
his friends were getting into him in
good shape. He was $500 or $500
loser. 80 49,. = - -.
The train was within II miles of
Atchison and he knew there was no
show for him to pull out even in the
time it would take to run IN, SO he
excused himself and went to the bag
gage car and pulled the air. The
train came to q stop. He talked with
the engineer for q few minutes.
Then he went back and resumed
playing. The train didn't move. The
friends asked him what was the mat
ter. He said that the engine had
slipped an eccentric and he had tele-
graphed to Atchison for another en-
CINE. In a couple OF hours, through
some plucky plays, the railroad man
got even with the game. Then he.
stepped to the platform Of the car
and yelled to the engineer: run
like hi into town. I'm even with
the game" S
