Country Newspaper Best.

Il believe one of the greatest
factors in the improvement of
country life will be the country
newspapers" said Clarence H.
Poe, editor of the Progressive
Farmer of Raleigh, N. c., in a
recent address before the Hoard
Press club of the College of
Agriculture of Wisconsin. In
discussing the influence which
the graduate of an agricultural
college can exert in his commun-
ity and in outlining the field of
agricultural journalism, Mr.. Poe
pointed out the great need for
farmers in the various counties
who would write regularly for
their local papers or perhaps be-
come editors of local papers in
terested in rural improvement.
There is no method of reach
ing the farmer that is quite SO
effective as through his local
newspaper. said Mr.. Poe.
Many of these have not yet
been awakened TO the possibili-
ties Of live agricultural col
umns." He believes that the
successful farmer of the future
will be the leader in his commun-
ity affairs and must aid his fel-
low farmers by writing. While
the general agricultural paper
has a place and a mission, the
local newspaper has a great adj
vantage due to its strong hold
upon the farmers interest. -

The Tip Slavlsh.

with the declaration that men who

are not Of a character to make good
Jurors, and that, therefore, 1t Is the
practice in Chicago, to ignore porters,

THE EsKlMo'S PIPE.
Small Bowls With stems Of WaIrus
Tuok Handsomely Carved.


The pipes used by the EslSimoS
are quite different from those OF
any other North American race, and
in the shape Of the bowl more re-
semble the opium pipes used by the
Chinese than anything else. The old
pipes were very small in the amount
OF tobacco that they would hold, for
In former days tobacco was extreme
ly scarce and In its use was most
carefully husbanded.
There was therefore a wide harinB
margin to the pipe to catch any
grains OF tobacco that might be
spilled in filling it, then there was
a hollow which would hold e pinch
Of tobacco half as large as an Or
binary pea and a rather wide hole
passing down through the base OF
the bowl which fitted into the pipe
stem. The bowl Of the pipe was OF
ivory, stone, brass or copper.
The pipe stem was curved and
had q mouthpiece, II Is said that
the small hole running down through
the base OF the bowl and into the
pipe stem was usually plugged with
caribou hair to save any grains OF
tobacco that might otherwise have
passed down through this aperture
and so be lost. The smoking OF such
a pipe would not last long, and we
may presume that a very few draws
would exhaust IT, The smoke was
Of course taken into the lungs.
The Eskimos are known to be ex-
tremely skiIful In the representation
Of scenes and objects. while the In
dams OF Queen Charlotte's Sound and
generally all the natives Of the north
wost coast Of America are famous for
their carving In wood and in a black
slate. Handsomely carved Eskimo
pipes of walrus ivory from north
western Alaska have on each side OF
the pipe, that is to say on four more
or less long fat surfaces, scenes
from the daily life Of the Eskimo. or
these the two sides on the right
hand Of the pipe, as 1t is held in POI
sition for smoking, appear to repre-
sent the period OF cold weather,
while those on the left hand side OF
the pipe represent tho summer life OF
the Eskimo.-Forest and Stream.
