Pipes are smoked by millions. al.

not one smoker III a thousand knows
the elements CT a good. pipe. Engi:
neers have been known to talk by the

of the draft in their pipes which they
smoke hourly.

tific reasons. When pipe is built on
right principles the bowl IL as narrow
and deep as is convenient to nll; the
hole in the stem meets the bowl ut the
very bottom and in the center, thus
insuring \ perfect and even draft
hence a complete and even burning Of
the tobacco. The cake prevents the
fire from burning the bowl, thus pre-
vents making its bore larger or un'
even, which would in proportion spoil
the draft. The sides of the bowl are
thick to keep in the heat, thus making
the burning at the same temperature
at the edges Of the tobacco as at the
center. In this way a clean, sweet
smoke is assured.-Technical World

Across the Fields Altar.

Across the Fields Afar.
l listen to the Sunday bells
Across the fields afar,
Beyond the din Of city and
The roaring of the car;
And eV'ry echo falling soft,
1t calls me back again
10 shady lanes and sunny -meads
OF valley and OF plain.
I see the quiet people stroll,
And hear their passing feet,
Again I see the little church
That fronts the village street.
The quaint old peWs they becl1on me,
The pulpit overhead.
And cen the marble stones above
MY own beloved dead.
Again in fancy leaning there,
Within the corner pew,
I look upon the faces of
The old time friends and true.
I hear the lowly murmurs of
The softly whispered prayer; .
Again I see the pastor with
His crown of silver hair.
The lilac. bushes laden with
Sweet censers, they distil
Perfume and shower petals on
The shady window sill.
And Oh. the echoes softly fall
On valley and on plant
And Oh, the. bells they call me to
The little church again

To Prevent A Nervous
 Breakdown.
Take Dr Williams Pink Pills When the First Warning Symptoms Are No- tced and Save
 Yourself Much
 Suffering.

Are you troubled with pallor, loss of spirits, waves of heat passing over the body, shortness of breath after slight exertion, a peculiar skipping of the heart beat, poor digestion, cold ex- tremities or a feeling of weight and fullness? Do not make the mistake of thinking that these are diseases in themselves and be satisfied with relief for the time being.
 This is the way the nerves give warning that they are breaking down. It simply means that for some reason or other the blood has become impure and thin and cannot carry enough nourishment to the nerves to keep work.
 Rest, alone will sometimes give the needed relief. The tonic treatment by pr Williams Pink Pills, however, nerves and the more serious diseases which follow, because the pills act di rectly upon the impure blood, making it rich, red and pure.
