THIS PIPE HAS A HISTORY
Was Smoked by Sir Walter Raleigh,
Who First Introduced Use OF
Tobacco into England.

A pipe with history is in the pos
session of collector in London which
was once the property of Sir Walter
Raleigh, and is not unlike the letter
'Y" In shape. For centuries 1t has
been kept In an iniaid box dated San
no, 1927" 1t Is constructed In four
pieces of wood, rudely carved with
dogs heads and with the faces of In
dams. On the bowl there is a cap
about as large as the bowl itself, and
attached to the stem is q string of
beads made Of the same wood as the
pipe. In this stem a powerful whistle
has been cut, and the suggestion is
made that Sir Walter used 1t to sum-
mon his servants.
The Archaeological society exhibited
this pipe at GuIldhall in the middle Of
the last century, the inscription accom-
panying It bearing these words: ''The
original pipe Of the above celebrated
historian Of the world, and who first
introduced tobacco and potatoes into
England" Tradition, corrobOrated by
u parchment in the possession OF the
owner, states that this pipe was
smoked by Sir Walter on the scafrold
Just before his execution and handed

WEAKEN STATEMENT OF FACT
Many Persons Seem to Question Their
Own Conclusions by Excessive
Use OF Rising infection.

1t is a modern conversational fad to
use the rising and interrogative In
Election a great deal, even when a
question is not intended at all. The
women are more apt to use 1t than the
men, and II. started few years ago,
merely as a pretty trick Of talking,
with no harm In 1t, mo harm 4 tn
world" says the Ohio State Journal.
But it has been so very much over
done and is now so general that we
are inclined to wonder If 1t betokens a
state Of mind, or, on the contrary, If ii
is likely to have an influence on the
mind. For rising infection implies
piled to a sentence that is supposed to
be statement of fact, it necessarily
weakens that statement.
We have heard people who were
narrating some simple incident use
this rising infection so repeatedly that
they seemed to question all their own
statements, or to seem to appeal to
their hearers for agreement. And that
doesn't indicate just the right state Of
mind. If a person has anything to
say and believes 1t, he should be will
ing to state 1t quite simply and posi-
lively. A positive statement does not
mean an aggressive one; and a per-
son must needs be in a rather pitiful
state Of fear of his hearers opinions
II he Is afraid to utter an affirmative
sentence.
