carrier suddenly slipped while nearing
the third story and plunged headlong
to the ground. Several passersby
rushed Owe expecting to find a man
dead with a broken neck, as the old
fellow had struck %squarely on the top
of his head. Finding h old man still
alive, some one emptied the contents
of a whisky bottle down his throat.
In a few moments the old negro sat up
and looked around.
How do you feel now, uncle?"
asked a bystander kindly.

The Costly 6rier Pipe.

People don1 understand brier pipe making said dealer. If they did they wouldn't consider five or six dollar brier extravagant. Did you know. for instance. that brier pipe after It's completion Is put away 10 season for nine or ten years? French brier Is the best material for these pipes. It isn't. though. brier. and 1t doesn't come from France. It comes from - etymologieally speaking - the word 'bruyere.' which means 'furze.' French brier is really Italian furze loot. q growth of the Tuscan Alps. The plant Is as carefully cultivated as tobacco itself. All the sprouts and leaves are kept well pruned; thus all the sap goes to the roots nourishment. The root Is GU, when fully developed and boiled and dried before shipment. Afterward the pipemaker boils and dries 1t again. And when the pipe is finished he stores it away for further drying-a matter of eight years or so. The best hrier pipe Is one cut cross wise of the grail. and the grain should De birdseye. Such a pipe lasts life time-can be handed down from father to son. Of course It's dear"

Only the Truth.

A virtue Carried to excess may be- come ridicusous. To such action oue may we'll peach. Be temperate in ali things" even In virtue. Amelia Opie, the EngD,n authoress, was not content with any half measures. as Is shown In lef,er from her quoted in Quaker Pictwes." by Wilfred Whitten. Mrs. 0pie's course of conduct Is to be re- sp@-ted as proceeding from her con scientious nature, but fiction readers may congratulate themselves that her opinions are not universal.
 Before she became a Quaker she wrote fiction. After her conversion she was asked 10 contribute a story to a magazine. Her answer to the editor ran as follows:
 "Thou kDowest or ought to know that Eince I became a Friend I am not free to what Is called to make story. Gill write sact for thy perusal or any little matte, of history or truth or a poem if thou wishest, but I must not lie and say surh and such a thing took place when 1t did not.
