absorbed, and thin coating OF wax
Is held on the surface of the pipe and

the wax is retained the oil of tobacco,
which is absorbed by the pipe, and
its hue grows darker in proportion to
the tobacco used. A meerschaum
pipe at first should be smoked very
slowly and before second bowlfuI
is lighted the pipe should cool OF.
This is to keep the wax as far up to
the bowl as possible. and rapid smok-
ing will overhead; driving the wax OF

A new pipe should never be smoked
outdoors in extremely cold weather.
Fill the pipe and smoke down about
one-third. or to the height to which
you wish color. Leave the remainder
of the tobacco in the pipe and do not
empty or disturb it for several weeks,
or until the desired color Is obtained.
When smoking. put. fresh tobacco on
the top and smoke to the same level.
When once burned the pipe cannot be

"counter-irritant," as the M. DIS
say. When you are wearing your
blue glasses and can not get them
off, go forthwith and do something
cheerful. In other words, turn the
much exploited treatment around and
let the physical being predominant
over the mental. For instance, tell
humorous story. No matter If 1t
does go terribly against the grain -
do 1t and keep a stiff upper lip until
it is finished. First thing you know,
you'll be laughing heartily at your
own ludicrous attempt at jollity-a
"sure-enough" laugh, and behold you
have accomplished your purpose. You
have cured, OF at least alleviated,
your mental sickness by physical
exertion, pure and simple. Or, If the
story Of joke therapeutics Is not prac-
ticable, take walk in the open air;
stroll along through the scented
woods, and list to Natures teach
ings." In little while you will hear

kinds of bright and gladstone things
in your heart. You will look up. and
behold - the blue glasses have
changed to a beautiful rose-colored.
Or, IL the case is mighty desperate
one, bring those weary, tagging feet
to call upon particularly jolly
friend, or go to some place OF amuse-
ment for a few hours. Any one OF
these physical "healings," If relig-
iously followed, will bring results.
and all your little woes will "fold up
their tents like the Arabs and silently
steal away"

that business and especially that as

velopment as would have been mag

some twelve or fifteen days behind
the normal. The first bales have al
been received and made much of in

dency to weakness, but there is a
generous fruitage of bolls to be seen
