THE CoRNCoB PIPE.
At Times It's Risky, and Il Doesn't Go
Well With Silk Hat.

Well With Silk Hat.
The corncob pipe is democratic in
stitution. One evidence Of the fact that
this country is not so democratic as
foreigners believe is that. according to
the code Of an American gentleman,
the corncob pipe must not be smoked
while wearing O silk hat On the 9th
er hand, it may be for this reason that
Americans so seldom affect the silk
hat,
But some men find difficulty in
adapting themselves to the Missouri
meerschaum. They contend that the
first puff from a new corncob pipe Is
like a breath from the neither regions.
This aversion arises from the circum-
stance that, like sponge, new COD
pipe should be dipped in water before
it is used. After the first pipeful OF
tobacco has been smoked 1t will be
found that a liberal coat Of ashes has
attached itself to the walls Of the pipe
rendering it thereafter much less like
ly to burn the tongue than if it were
initiated without the fOrmality OF bap-
tisni* .,.a..
There is one place, however. where
the cob pipe is distinctly dangerous
and that is in the mouth Of a beginner
In the mellow art of smoking. Moth
ers who dread the day when their sons
shall feel obliged to assert their en-,
trance into mans estate by acquiring
a taste Of tobacco will do we'll to: buy
a corncob pipe and leave it carelessly
about the house. In time it will be
missed So will the boys appetite.
But the appetite will come back.-In-

erocers as Eiohtinq Men.

In olden times in England the gro
GERS trade played useful part in ma
tional defense. The Grocers' company
was commanded in 1857 to furnish six
ty men for "the resistance of such in
iquitous attempts rs may be made by
foreign enemies" Further demands Of
the same kind were satisfied in sue
cessive years, and in 1888 the company
supplied 500 men to resist the Spanish
armada. Authority was granted to
press men into this service, and ap-
prentices and journeymen were called
upon to leave the counter for the bat

master of the Grocers' company, clear

pirGStes by means of fleet equipped

How Railroads Create Wealth.

Our marvellous crops would count for
nothing if forced to lie in the fields
where they grow, or driven to seek
such markets only as the farmers
team could reach. The cotton crops
which brings to our shores annually
nearly half a billion dollars Of foreign
gold. would be but a fruitless burden
on southern winds if there were, no
railways to carry it to the seaboard.
We take from our mines and forests
and factories twenty billions Of dol
lars each year, bat without means Of
transportation these costly products
would be worthless junk.-Robert Ma

Artificial Skies.

Sky and air are the hardest things to
initiate on the stage, but this old prob
lem has been solved. Clear sky, cloudy
sky and distance effects are obtained
by shooting light on a very carefully
built concrete dome. The smooth
white surface of the concrete reflects
the light rays in so many directions
that they all blend. At the same time
the light thrown on the dome is care
fully filtered to obtain just the right
color.
The combined result can be made to
give the impression that the roof over
the stage has been taken off to let the
sky in. Then, with moving picture
machine in the wings. cloud effects
may be added without dificulty.-sat-

PETR0GRAD is A WONDER.
4 City Built by Russia In Defiance Of
the Laws Of Nature.

It is an amazing monument to the
despotism of the cZars that Petrograd
has 6ourished, as it was built. in de-
fiance Of the laws Of trade and of ma
ture herself. AS port it is immeas-
urably inferior to Riga, which has
much longer open season. for Petro-
grad is icebound from early November
to the end of April. AS building site
it has been repeatedly and disastrous
ly flooded by the Neva. The highest
elevation within the bounds Of the city
is less than fifteen feet above sea level.
and the cellars have to be baled out
nearly every spring when the ice melts
and the wind blows.
And the rigorous climate constantly
gnaws at walls and columns until the
city has been twice and thrice rebuilt
by the czars. Many Of the most in
posing structures are held together
only by means of iron clamps, and +he
huge bowlder on which Peter rides his
bronze horse is ever crumbling away,
The stones of the streets are continual
ly sinking below the level. and the
great Cathedral of ST. Isaac never
ceases to settle\ on a foundation in
which nearly S1.OOo,000 was sunk. No
less than six tiers Of piles were driven
for the beautiful column OF Alexander
L., yet that eighty foot Snonolith. the
tallest and largest, in Europe. has to
be clamped in iron.
AS dwelling place Petrograd re-
mains the most fatal Of any great city
in the civilized world, with q mortali-
ty Of twenty-eight to each 1000 of pop
ulation. and within ten years its death
rate actually exceeded its birth rate

orinin of the Sun Elao.

The origin of the emblem Of the
sun as the japanese national symbol
dates back to time immemorial. The
first record Of its use on land is that
of a famous war lord Of the eleventh
century; again in the fifteenth century
the emblem was adopted by the feudal
lords and warriors. The connection Of
the emblem with the navy is also deep
rooted, having had local usage as early
as II A. D., and a more extended field
in 10 A. D. The official adoption of
the sun flag to represent the nation took
place in 191O.-Bulletin Of the Japan

DROWNING CUT a FIFE.
High Pressure Water Streams That
Tear Down Roon Partitions.


Just think Of picking Up pond or
a small re,eiN or containing about 30
600 gallons Of water and throwing il
bodily ut fire. and then picking UP
another pond or reservoir containing
the same amount of water and throw
ing that at the fire within Il moments

every minute for an hour until the fire,
is drenched with nearly 100000 gal
Ions Of water! Quite a bucket bri-
gade," eh?
Practically that is what the New
York fire department does today with
its high pressure system, for with this
method of water supply the hremen
can obtain 10000 gallons Of water a
minute and if necessary. at maxi
mum pressure of 900 pounds to the

SAVED THE TOWN.
The Fisherman Lied, Stuck to His
Story and Got Surprise.


Story and Got Surprise.
More than two centuries ago, when
an allied English and Dutch feet.
under Admiral Russell, approached
Les Sables GOlonne, on the bay OF
Biscay, to lombard it, difficulty
arose. The conformation of the shore
partly. concealed the settlement be
hind a ridge, and they did not know
how to train their guns. But they
had captured fishing smack in the
bay, and Admiral Russell summoned
the fisherman, Daniel Fricaud, and or
dered him to tell exactly how the
town lay and where to aim in order to
destroy its principal buildings. Fri
caud, who appeared to be poor, ig-
norant fellow, very much frightened,
pointed to a pier with group Of old,
rickety buildings: The admiral was
doubtful, but the trembling fisherman
assured him that inst beyond and al
most exactly in range was the market
square, the very heart of the town.
"Do you understand" asked the ad-
miral sternly, that If you are telling
me q lie shall soon find it out and
have you hanged from the yardarm
of my ship?'
"I Know answered the fisherman.
'tand if I have lied you must hang me.
can only tell you-it is there that you
should aim your guns"
Convinced that the man would not
venture a deception, Admiral Russell
ordered the bombardment to begin. a
little while after shells had begun to
fall behind the screening ridge and
shabby wharf, and great columns OF
smoke arose, which rapidly increased
In volume. It seemed that half the
place must be on fire. Only when he
thought its destruction nearly enough
accomplished did the feet withdraw
first releasing Fricaud and his fishing
boat.
The fisherman, amazed and anxious,
hastened to the town to learQ what
could possibly have happened, for he
knew well that in the quarter that
had been shelled there were only a
few worthless sheds and storehouses.
That was why, at the risk OF his
neck, he had pointed it out. Never
for moment had he thought Of aid
ing the enemy to destroy his native
place, and he had fully expected to
pay the penalty, What could the
smoke be?
It proved that the inhabitants had
practiced a clever ruse. Seeing that
the shells were falling exactly where
they did the least harm, they had
built huge bonfres to convey the i'm
preston of confagration. The trick
had probably saved the town. It had
certainly saved a brave fisherman
from being hanged.-Youth's Compan-
Son.

Men In Petticoats.

1t will probably be matter of sur
prise to the general reader to learn that
the petticoat was first worn exclusively
by men. In the reign of King Henry

fantastic and absurd that it was diff

other. In the inventory Of Henry v.
appears "petticoat of red damask,
