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

1t is a modern conversational fad 70
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 it than the
men, and 1T started a few years ago,
merely as a pretty trick of talking.
with no harm in it, mo harm i TIL
world" says the Ohio State Journal.
But 1t has been so very much over
done and is now so general that we
are inclined to wonder if it betokens a
state of mind, or, on the contrary. if If
is likely to have an influence on the
mind. For rising infection implies
questioning or doubt and, when ap-
piled to sentence that is supposed to
be a 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 owr
statements, or to seem to appeal to
their hearers for agreement. And that
doesn't indicate just the right state of
mind. If person has anything to
say and believes it, he should be will
ing to state it 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
if he is afraid to utter an affirmative
sentence.

THIS PIPE HAS A HISToR,'
Was Smoked by Sir Walter Raleigh,
Who First Introduced Use of
Tobacco Into England.

A pipe with a 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 it has
been kept in an inlaid box dated can
no, 1921" 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 a 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 it 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
a parchment in the possession of the
owner, states that this pipe was
smoked by Sir Walter on the scaffold
just before his execution and handed
to one of his relatives as a memento
Of him.
