It had been given 10 the coun. in Turkey. He fetched it home because. as a piece of white clay of extraordinarily light specific gravity, it pleased him.
 kavOl EOwatpS was noted in PeSth for his skill in carving. and Count Audrassy took his chunk of light white clay to him and said:
 Make, fellow, something pretty out of this"
 The ingenious Eavol, great smOk- CT, thought that the pOrousness Of the white clay adapted it well for pipes, and accordingly he made two from t, one for himself and one for Count AndraSsy.
 The pipes were charming, and they smoked superbly. The fame of them spread. In course Of time meerschaum mining and mecrschaum pipe making became two of the recognized indus tries of The world.

The burrowIng bees are commonly ranked with solitary insects. Certainly they are not social" living in Organiz, cd communities. like honeybceS. But one might venture to call them neigh. borly insects" for they love to make their caycruous he"mitages in well peoplGd ueighborhooaa.
 Their burrOw sites are preferably up- on hard. dry spots. with bit of slope. maybe. Therein the mother will sink a shaft eight or ten inches deep and about thrcc-cjghJhs of an inch wide. On either side she will dig out small oyate cells. fvc or six iu all, which she duly provisions and supplies with an egg apiece.
 The burrows are about the bigncss of the occupant ana extend inward for a foot or SD. with Sundry enlargcments, after ,hr fashion of their kind, where in the young are bred In the height of the season these bee uciGhborhoOds are the scene of a busy life.

FORT DoDcE,s MOCK MARRIAGE
ACT A. NATIONAL JOKE.
Document Which TerrorIzed Bachelors
I. and spinsters Credited 10 Mayor
X best Ad. for Town Since
Cardiff Giant.

Fort Dodge, Ia.---Not since the days
of the Cardiff giant has Fort Dodge
had such signal distinction heaped
upon 1t as has been conferred through
the Introduction of the marriage or.
dinance in the city council recently.
Not long ago people who did not know
that there was such place as Fort
Dodge, Ia, are to-day talking about 1t.
From almost every state in the union
letters have poured In, either con-
demning the ordinance or upholding
its originator In his purposes. The
past few days the mayors mail has
been burdened with an unusually large
number of letters from girls, who have
asked him to put them In correspond
ence with some of the more eligible
bachelors Of the city, whom the may
or declares are growing entirely too
Numerous.
AS is commonly the case with the
unheard-of, some small incident can
be traced to the beginning as the prime
mover that suggested the idea, and
the marriage ordinance in this case
is In no wise an exception. 1t all
came from small matter originating
with the police force. On the force
are two bachelors, Peter McCabe and
John Qualey, who have had to endure
the expense of all ''layoff' on account
of the other members being married,
and tho mayor favored them. Both
OF these men protested at the discrim-
inatfon, and at last the mayor sug-
gested that the only way in which
they could be placed on an even foot
ing with the other members of the de-
partment was for them to get mar
ried. They again protested that 1t
was not reasonable that they should
be singled out for compulsory mar
riage and no one else, whereupon the
mayor declared that he would make
the thing general.
No one who looks at Mayor Ben.
netts picture would pick him out as
joker, but there is not a man in
all Iowa who enjoys a joke more than
he. 1t was not intended that the or.
dinance should have any further at
,tention, and while the local papers
used 1t as feature of the council
proceedings, there was nothing more
thought of it until outside papers cop
led 1t and letters of inquiry began te
arrive. From that on the joke grew
to such proportions tina. marked cop
les of papers and letters from al
over the United States were address

1t will be perfectly correct to seat

Seat the honored guest at your

Charming place cards are made by
using large, square cards with name,

ner. These are very effective on the

always in favor, dainty heads ant
