How to Color a Meerschaum Pipe

colors the exterior in the fanciful
shades so highly priced by the con-
firmed pipe smoker. But when the
buckskin cover is placed on the pipe,
ostensibly to protect the bowl, the
heat from within when the smoke
curls upward me1ts the wax covering
into the buckskin and renders the
outside shell of meerschaum liable to
dirt and In fact anything but pretty
color.
1.-THE best possible way for a meer-
schaum to be colored is for the smoker
to use false bowl and never smoke
in the pipe itself. 1t is well to pack
tobacco tightly in the real bowl, in
sert the false bowl and then pack
with tobacco and smoke only from
the latter. The heat will be trans
mitted moderately to the tobacco
which is in the real bowl, but which
is not burning, and juices therefrom
will be exuded to color the pipe in
the most approved fashion.
False bowls make calabash pipes
possible and they serve admirably for
the igh-priced meerschaum which
the smoker prizes. Just as a calabash
would burn through in no time if a
false bowl were not used, direct burn

The most famous woman born on
January is Karoline Jagemann, the
noted German singer of the early
century. She was born in
Weimar in ITS, where she made her
debut at the age of eighteen. So
great were her talents that the poets
Goethe and Schiller both offered her
their patronage and friendship. But
that her character was not on par
with her undisputed talents was
proved when she sacrificed the respect
md loyalty of these poets for her
attachment to the Duke of Weimar.
So annoying were her caprices in fact
that Goethe gave up the direction of
the Weimar Theatre in order to avoid
her. During the remainder of her
life she assumed the name of Madame
Kegendorf and after the death of
the duke for whom she had sacri-

"Man Is Sweetest when Angry" Says
Harvard Professor.
CAMBRIDGE, Jan. 5.-A lecture on
the unusual subject, Bodily Effects
of Fear and Rage" was given at the
Harvard medical school yesterday
afternoon by Professor w. B. Cam
eron, during the course of which he
announced as one conclusion derived
from experiments that man is sweet
est when he is angry"
This paradoxical statement, the lee
turer said, is allowed to stand because
of the fact that the experiments have
shown that the emotional activity
caused by rage and fear cause a
marked increase of sugar in the blood

training rules just adopted by the new

Jackson College girls are showing
unusual interest this year in athletics
and nearly twenty-five girls who are

That the rules are to be enforced

NEW YORK. Jan. 5.-There are
100000 men and women in New York

fewer divorces.

SYRACUSE, Jan. 5.-Five st. Ber-

in Cato Township. The puppies were
born on New Years Day, the mother
being a blue blooded Swiss st. Ber-

The sire of the freaks Is unknown,
and it is the opinion of Mr.. Stephen,
son that it is some animal other than
a dog. The pups are in perfect health.
Each dog has four legs, tail and
a nose, but possesses only one eye.
This is set nearly in the centre of the
head and is green like that of cat.
The puppies have cloven feet that re-

Use of "Ductless Glands"
DR.. Leonard K. Hirshberg, in Health
Magazine.
If you hear gossip among medical
men these days, their lisping accents
will be heard to speak glibly of duct
less glands" "vaccines." Of vaccineS
nothing more need now be said; OF
ductless glands lots remains to be
known. Perhaps you will keep clear
lv in view Just what ductless glands
are, If some of them are named. Such
organs or tissues are the thick lump
in your neck called the thyroid gland;
the little onion-like mess that dips al
most into your nose called the pltul-
tary body; the two little bunches OF
tissue over your kidneys called the
adrenal bodies, and the spleen. There
are others, but all of them are glands
that have no open channels to con-
meet them with the lungs. nose, stom-
ach or other passages to the outside
world. Hence they are called duct
less.
Experiments by Professor Schaef-
fer, of England, and others show
that the little, onion-like body
under the brain, called the pituitary
body, has two parts, one in front ana
one in back If the back half is re-
moved all Ine SIuoOlH iluSSlSS VI INV
body-muscles of the lungs, the ar
teries. the intestines, stomach and so
on become useless and exhausted. II
this part of the gland is removed from
sheep or cattle and fed to persons
thus needing 1t the smooth muscles
will quickly recover. Many diseases
now with such symptoms are cured
by giving "posterior pituitary tissue.
The front part of the gland seems
to play a part in making bone grow.
If this part becomes too active a
giant results. If it is diseased dwarfs
are the result. Thus it is evident that
the "ductless" glands send something
into the blood stream to be carried all
over the body.
The adrenal glands have the same
influence. These little supernumerary
kidneys send some invisible agent into
the vital fluid which acts upon the
arteries, makes them contract and
raises the pressure of the blood with
in them.
When the blood pressure is low,
when there is disease in these glands,
or when there is bleeding, dry bits of
adrenalin applied to the bleeding spot,
fresh or in watery solutions, given
by the mouth, improves these condi-
lions very quickly.

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM

to grow wheat where the Arctic Circle
season is only eighty days long. A
wild country, of course, appeals to
men who have the spirit of adven-
ture. But, after all, what is there to
compare with the comforts of an old
and settled country, particularly when
the land is good and cheap and there
are customers waiting for the various
crops raised during a long season?
The man who stops to think will not
go to an Arctic climate to found a
new home. If he desires a change he
can find in the northeastern part of
the United States better opportunities
than are offered in the wilderness
which stretches toward the North
Pole.
why Mayors Should Love Their Jobs.
From the New York Tribune.
1t is interesting to note that the
business of rat-tat-tat- tatting on the
person of the city's mayor has al
ready begun. Interesting, but hardly
surprising, hammering the mayor of
New York is one of the great Indoor
sports" of Manhattan.
From one of our evening contempo-
raries we gather that Mr.. Mitcheps
clothes are not at all what they
should be. He wears turned-up trou-
sers and silk socks, and his collar
and tie are of the model affected by
young men," Such affectation on the
part of a man of Mr.. MitchePs years
is, of course. most reprehensible.
From another discerning contempo-
rary we learn the sad fact that Mr..
Mitchell in his appointments struck
only eleven and a half when
he might have struck twelve" To
start out with an incomplete cabi-
net when he might have filled it over
night by consulting the proper ex-
perts is indeed sad. If he had so filled
1t, what an impression of resource
and vigor" he would have given!
Whereas now he is in the unpleasant
predicament of painfully searching
out the best men, like any other head
of q large corporation.
We have heard rumors rejecting
upon the quality of Mr.. MitchePs
sense of humor. But, at any rate,
such as it is, it has much to feed on.

she will love the tree. That is some

What Richard was thinking of do

There was only one way of trans
