THE ART OF PIPE SMOKING.
How to Fill a Pipe and to Take Care
of It-About Tobacco Mixtures.

As important Is ttiE CouulilOA Ol TN
tobacco smoked is the state OF the pipe it

, doubt feathers are the finest pipe cleaners
Next, no doubt, to a good, seasoned to
baccO the great secret OF enjoyable plpt
smoking Is to have a battery OF pipes, 81
that frequent change is possible. TIL,
ideal plan is never TO smoke a particular
pipe more than once a day When done
with it it should be cleaned and stood in
the rack, bowl downward, and all pipes
should be used in rotation.
There is a great art, too, in filling q
pipe. Ii tobacco is Crammed in haphazard
II will not burn evenly, and a tightly
/ packed pipe is the cause of more tongue
bllsters than even an ill-conditioned, half

deal with, Old hands cannot be sure OF
always exactly hitting the right degree OF

Hunting Without a Gun.

While l have no apologies for the many
times l have pointed the gun at the
ruffed grouse with murderous intent, the
days | have really enjoyed his company
the most have been those | spent in his
home hunting deer all day with the rifle
and wanting nothing else. Until YOU have
him all around you from morning till
night IN the depths of the forest prime
val where he still lives in all the wildness
OF the centuries gone, you have little idea
OF how mysterious and charming he is in
all his varied ways. The constant baf-
fling. of your attempts at closer com
munion fan the flame of your anxiety
until the weird sound of his distant drum
ming thrills you as strangely as the throb-
bling of the nearer air beneath his oh
streperous wing, as he speeds away up-
ward to the top of some lofty pine or
