TIE PIPE cALAnAsH.

Pipes made from the South African
calabash, or gourd, have created con-
siderable interest in the growth Of the
vine. It Is a native Of South Africa.
The use OF the calabash as a pipe bowl
was discovered by the Beers and after
the Boar war they were introduced In
England and from there were brought
TO this country. The Beers attempted
10 monopolize the product and to pre-
vent the expectation OF seed, but fall
ed, and there Is now a supply OF the
seed in this country The vine grows
luxuriantly and produces a large crop
Of gourds, but many OF them have to
be rejected for pipe making, either
on account Of defective growth or OF
insect bites which mar the surface. The
pipes are graceful and distinctive Ia
shape, no two being exactly alike. They
color like meerschaum, and are delight
ful smokers. The imported pipes sell
for from So 70 S12 each. One Of the
reasons for their high price is the
necessity for hand work In their man
ufacture, as, on account Of their vary
ing shapes and sizes, machine work is
not practicable The growing, drying
and shaping OF these gourds should be
interesting. and they can be easily
made into pipes by buying inside bowls
and mouthpieces.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture has issued a circular (No
Al, Bureau OF Plant Industry on tho
subject, giving information in regard
to the securing OF seed, growing tn,
plant, and making the pipes, which will
be sent free 10 all who apply for II.

"During the investigation, which

came alarmed at the idea Of their af-

DAIRYMEN MAY INCREASE
WHOLESALE PRICE OF MILK

Whether 1t is possible for milk pro-
ducers 70 sell milk at the present
wholesale price with the increasing
cost of production. caused discussion
at the weekly meeting of Delaware
Grange, at Newport, last night. The
subject proved so absorbing that it
was decided to continue the discussion
next Monday night. Although no ac-
tion was taken, the general sentiment
was that the present price OF milk to
wholesalers could not be maintained
very long.
You can best understand the stu
alton confronting the producer" a
well-known granger said. when told
that the price of bran in the last five
years has Increased from $14 to 500 a
ton, while the wholesale price of milk
has remained at cents a quart"
Comprising, as it does, many milk
producers, the grange will undoubtedly
go on record as favoring an increase
in the wholesale price Of milk.

Tue ESKIMO DOG DISCOVERIES.
II every dog has his day" then the
day Of north pole discovery is certain
ly the day Of the dog.
Newspapers and periodicals and SCI
enti6c bodies and lecture platforms
and moving pictures are engaged IN
the controversy which promises to last
all winter OF longer between the parti-
sans OF Peary and OF Cook.
Mutual friends of the two explorers
are almost at daggers point. and the
people are divided into two great hos.
tile camps over the question:
Did Cook and bis two Eskimos or
did Peary and his negro first run up
the flag In the airy regions OF the
frozen country Of the north pole?
II is not altogether unlikely that we
may really never know who is entitled
to the honor OF being the first discov-
erer. And In whosesoever favor science
eventually may decide or II It decide
in favor Of both Peary and Cook there
will always be those who are uncon-
vinced.
However that may be. large share
OF the credit in any event must be CIV
en- to the Eskimo dog. Without the
dog the pole would still be undiscov.

And II any should be dined and ap-
plauded II is the stanch dog who did
the real work of the Journeys. toilIng
over the icy wastes. enduring heavy
burdens without complaint or striking
for higher wages aud shorter hours OF
labor.
Why not stop the controversy be
tween Cook and Peary and their fol
lowers long enough to give a royal ban
quet to the thirty-six dogs Of Peary
and the eighteen dogs OF Cook?
And among the toasts' there would
be one to be drunk IN silence and
standing TO the dead-to the dogs who
gave up their flesh to feed the starv
ing men.
Give the Eskimo dog his due. With
out that stout servitor and faithful
four legged companion the stars and
stripes would not be floating in the re
gion Of the pole.

has always been.
In the first glimpse we get OF ths
man Of the stone age and his cave bis

now in the very latest glimpse Of
mans great triumph the dog is there.
Indeed. II may be said. some OF thos'

The dogs have no scientific data ol
