Doing a Splendid Work.

The agricultural colleges are do
ing a splendid work. but they are
not reaching all OF the people that
they should. This is no fault of the
colleges nor of those managing them
because it can never he expected that
a single college in the State can
train all of the leaders in agricul-
ture and all of those who expect 70

Furthermore, there has not been.
up to the present time. any real vital
connection between the agricultural
colleges and the schools below them.
Pupils graduating from our elemen-
tary schools must attend the high
school before being admitted to col
lege.
There is another reason why the
agricultural colleges do not meet the
needs OF secondary instruction in ag-

THE EsNMos' PIPES.
Small Bowie With STEMS Of WsIrus'
Tusk Handsomely Carved.

Small Bowie With STEMS Of WaIrus
Tusk Handsomely Carved.
The pipes used by the Eskimos
are quite different from those of any
other North American a and in
the shape of the bowl more resem-
bic the opium pipes used by the
Chinese than anything else. The
old pipes YER very small in the
amount of tobacco that they would
hold, for in former dsystobacco was
extremely scarce and in its use was
most carefully husbmded-
There was therefore a wide flaring
margin to the pipe to catch any
grains of tobacco that might be
spilled in filling it; chen there we're
a hollow which would hold a pinch
of tobacco half as large as an ordi-
nary 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 pipestem vas curved and
had a mouthpiece. tits said that
the small hole running down
through the base of the bowl and
into the pipestem vas 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 oficourse taken into
the lungs.
The Eskimos, are known to be ex-
tremely skillful in the representa-
ton of scenes and objects, while the
Indians of Queen Charlotte's sound
and generally all the natives of the
northwest coast of America are ia
nous for their carving in wood and
in black slate. Handsomely carved
Eskimo pipes Of walrus ivory from
northwestern Alaska have on each
side of the pipe-that is to say, on
four more or less long fiat surfaces
scenes from the daily life of the
Eskimo. Of these the two sides on
the right hand of the pipe as it is
held in position for smoking appear
to represent the period of cold
weather, later autumn, winter and
early spring, while those on the left
hand side of the pipe represent the
summer life of the Eskimo.-For-

Wanted to Bet.

The greatest trotter in the world
for his time was being sold at auc-
ton, says Ainslee's Magazine. He
was finally knocked down to a local
millionaire for $4,000. The pur-
chaser strolled out of the ring and
over to a lunch counter, where he
ordered a chicken sandwich.
The restaurant man sliced off a
postage stamp wafer of chicken and
inserted it between two slices of
bread. The horseman passed over
a dollar, and the attendant non
chalantly handed back a half. The
horseman looked at the change with
a puzzled gaze for a few moments
and then pushed it back, with the
remark:
81 will bet you"
"Bet me what?" asked the at
tendant.
'The half dollar"
"On WHAT"
"1ll bet you that the chicken
brings more than the horse l just
bought"

Charles Reade's Literary Method.

Reade's literary work was, Sir
Robert Anderson remarks, a rare
combination of genius and plodding.
A brass scuttle which stood by the
fireplace held the illustrated and
other papers which reached him
week by week. From these he culled
anything that took his fancy, and
the cuttings were thrown into a
companion scuttle, to be afterward
inserted in scrapbooks and duly in
dexed. Materials for his novels and
plays were thus supplied OIL suggest
ed. The accuracy of his descrip-
tions of events and places was phe-
nomenal.-Blackwood's Magazine.
