Anarchists Treat Toxic to q European
Sensation.

Anarchists Treat Toxic to O European
Sensation.
The Japaneee, who are learning more
about the Joys Of civilization every day, have
Just acquired something brand new from
Europe in the way Of Jspanned anarchists.
The first demonstration Of anarchists ever
held In the streets Of Toxic was promptly
made the occasion for a general fight one
day last month.
1t seems that Yamaguchi CLIO. the origi-
nal japanese convert to The creed. had just
been released from prison after serving
a term for sedition. that being the interpre-
tation given anarchism by Japanese law.
Seventy odd Of Mr.. Gizo's disciples in Toxic
planned to give hin q sympathy demon
stration.
They hired d hall and planned a parade.
The parade started. headed by. blood red
with Revolution" Death to Rulers" and
kindred sentiments. A Japanese band,
which Is In itself an inspiration to anarchy,
headed the procession.
Hardly had it proceeded a block when
the busy little Japanese policemen swarmed
from the police boxes OF every hand and
started In to break up the parade. A fght
ensued. The anarchists, Being ~unprovided
with bombs. used the ready Japanese
weapon for close quarters. the wooden clog,
and the policemen drew their swords. Con-
siderable blood was shed before the police
men succeeded in gathering In fifteen Of the
anarchists, four OF whom were very active
young women .
The Japanese who viewed the fight as
spectators seemed TO sympathize with the
what anarchy meant. A policeman In
Japan is no more popular than In any other
land, and the shoshi. or organized roughs
Of the Toxic slums, are always ready to
Jump the little defenders Of tho law. whether
under a red flag or the inspiration OF too
much sake.

CHOICE OF 4 BRIAR PIPE.

| Get One Which Is Smooth inside the Bowl,
Says the Collegian Who Knows.
A collegian who prides himself on the
sweetness and color OF his briarwood pipes
| and pretends to know a lot more about
| them thar any ordinary smoker spent
half an hour in a tobacco shop a few
| afternoons g making an addition to his
| already large collection.
Some pipes he discarded because Of the
| grain in the wood; there was too much
| stripe or too much birdseye, he remarked.
| When he found one which suited him he
nut it aside until he had gathered three
| or four which apparently were all right.
| and then came his final test to pick out the
best OF them all.
He held each with the bowl toward the
| light, then slowly rubbed his little finger
inside. Two he discarded. then repeated
the operation with the others until only
one remained OF the discard. That one
-Want 'em smooth inside" he explained.
"A briar pipe roughly finished inside the

to try to break it in; for 1t will never be any
never never be mice and sweet.
eve got a theory thai when the inside
of the bowl is rough all the little edges
and points Of the wood char and burn
the first time you smoke it. and a burnt
pipe Is no good. That's why ! always take
a pipe that has a bowl as smooth on the
inside as on the out.
.Then it doesn't char but cakes up evenly
and gets good in a little time. Maybe the
theory Ia wrong, but 1t has worked out
we'll in my own experience. and some Of my
friends who have tried it agree with me-

NEW SPORT AT TUXEDO.
Carp, With which the Lake Is Stocked,
speared by Torchlight.

A new form Of sport for this part OF the
country has beer introduced at Tuxedo
this spring with much success. 1t is the
spearing OF carp by torohlight.
Carp were introduced a dozen or more
years ago from Germany and many lakes
and rivers have been stocked with them,
They are more or less a nuisance, have
multiplied exceedingly and have destroyed
many smaller edible fish.
In Germany and France. says Toun and
Country, the carp are considered excellent
eating, but even there they are served
with sauces which disguise their fat, rank
flavor. They have made their appearance
In this city as articles Of food in the smaller
restaurants, principally In those on the

In the beyous OF Louisiana a fevorite
sport Is to spear the ~saoulait, a species
OF trout which abound there and which can
not be taken by fly OF bait. These bayous
are sluggish. narrow streams running
through cypress swamps and half sub
merged forests. The fishermen paddle
about IN ptroEies or dugout canoes.
Some manage with extreme dexterity
to hold pine torches in one hand and flash
the flame on the water. The fish rise TO
the light and they are speared by others
Of the party. The Aoadian-as the native

Guy Lipecombe's picture OF 'Nazzaro on

which the two cars are travelling. with the

who have crowded up to the hedge to watch
them pass.
There are two or three men who are
painting weird landscapes; they seem
to be trying to see how unlike they can
make their work to nature and yet do
thing that suggests nature. In Alfred
Maurer's landscapes the trees are magenta,
while the sky is green. the grass blue and
the haystack violet. Most people do. not
see things that way but Vladislaw Granzon

may be that nature Is like that under GER
