OF the development of the clay pipe
the London Chronicle remarks: "In
their various shapes and sizes the clay
pipes of different centuries curiously
Illustrate the changes in smokers and
smoking. The Elizabethan pipes were
so small that when dug up. us they
sometimes are, they are commonly
called fairy pipes But the size re-
fleets the high price of tobacco at that
time and also shows that the first
smokers. rs soldiers, sailors and men
Of action. wanted a short and handy
pipe suited to their habits. The length
ening of pipes toward the end Of the
seventeenth century was the result
not only of Dutch influence under Will
liam Ill. but also Of the way smoking
was increasing among men Of higher
social status. The yard long clay
would be used only by men of position
whose ease and smoke were not to be
suddenly and rudely disturbed. The
laborer had his short "cutty," which he
could carry In his waistcoat pocket,
but the long clay was meet only for
such dignitaries as churchwardens, 30
that the pipe took the name Of Its
user"

How MusssIs Move.

The general impression is that mus
sells do not move; they fasteR them
selves to certain objects or they lie in
the mud and sand at the bottom of the
water and there they pass their exist
ence. In proof of this the fact Is adj
duced that mussels are Mt times buried
under the sandy deposit when rush
Of water carries lot of soil with 1t. A
naturalist who has devoted much time
to the study Of these creatures says
that mussels do move slowly and the
movement Is accomplished in the fol
lowing manner: The mussel opens its
shell and projects Its body to certain
extent from Its projecting case. Then
it exerts some force whereby 1t keeps
the shell above the soil and uses its
body to propel itself along the bottom
just in the same way as a land snake
gets over the ground. II the sand is
examined after the mussel has taken
one of these strolls 1t will be easy to
see two parallel lines caused by the
edges of the shell touching the ground.

Quick Growing Trsss.

A remarkable tree has been discov-
cred about the region Of Lake Chad.
Its power Of increase in every way is
remarkable. In a few months an ex-
tensive tract Of land. we read. became
an impenetrable forest. In one season
1t is said to grow to the height Of from
four to five meters-in other words.
from thirteen to over sixteen feet. Its
foliage is said to resemble the mimosa,
and its branches are thorny. The wood
can he cut into planks. and the natives
wcsk It up into canoes. The Tilho mis-
sion has utilized the wood for making
tables and doors.-London Globe.

tionless save for soft, catching breaths,
she waited until the steward came Ia
coll her.
It looked very cheeriess In the big
room. A few persons were clustered
about one end Of a long table. She
cast a quick glance about her. hardly
knowing for what she hoped, but he
was not there. The steward brought
eggs and coffee, and she managed q
cup. Then she went on deck.
The rain was dripping dismally.
Here and there a light glimmered
family through the thick mist. 30
that was Plymouth. The gangplank
leading to the tender was steep and
slippery. People moved through the
dusk like disembodied spirits. 1t was
all very gloomy and very forlorn.
The gangplank was pulled in. The
band, huddled into a damp group on
the steamers deck, broke forth with a
lively air. A man standing near by
laughed.
'If one has to be awake at such an
hour it is comfort to know that no
one else can sleep either" he observed
grimly.

At the voice she started violently.

a moment she scarcely breathed,
thrilled between ecstasy and fear.
Then a dark figure detached itself
from the fog and came to her.

that perhaps you. too. cared-just a

The mist was drifting out to sea-
The clouds Ind broken. and in the
east appeared q glow Of crimson and
gold. The sun was rising In all its

with wide, glad eyes at the newborn

eager entreaty.
