There v/ca therefore a wide flaring margin to the pipe to catch any grains of tobacco' that might be spilled in filling it; then there were a hullor; which would hold a pinch of tobacco half as large as an ordi­ nary pea and a rather wide hole passing down through the base of the howl which fitted into the pipe- stem. The bowl of the pipe was of ivory, stone, brass or copper. The pipestem was curved and had a mouthpiece. It is said that the small hole r inning down through the base of the bowl and into the pipestem was usually plugged with caribou hair to save any grains of tobacco that might otherwise have passed down through this aperture and so he lost. The smoking- of such a pipe would not last long, and wc may presume that a very few' draws would exhaust it. The smoke was of course taken into the lungs. ■ , The Eskimos are known to be ex­ tremely skillful in the representa­ tion of scenes and objects, while the Indians of Queen Charlotte’s sound and generally all the natives of the northwest coast of America are fa­ mous for their carving In wood and in black slate. Handsomely carved Eskimo pipes of walrus ivoTy from northwestern Alaska have on each side of the pipe—that is to say, on fotir more or less long flat surfaces —scenes from the daily life of the Eskimo, Of these the two sides on the right hand of the pipe as it is held in position for smoking appear to represent the period of cold weather,, later autumn, winter and early spring, while those on the left hand side of the pipe represent the summer life .of the Eskimo.—For­ est and Stream. .Wanted to Bet, Tho greatest trotter in the world for his time was being sold at auc­ tion, says Ainslee’s Magazine. Ho was finally knocked down to a local millionaire for $36,000. The pur­ chaser strolled out of the ring and over to a lunch counter,' where he ordered a chicken sandwich. The restaurant man sliced off a postage stamp wafer of chicken and inserted, it .between two slices of bread. The horseman passed pver a dollar, and the attendant -non­ chalantly handed hack a half. The horseman looked at the changewith a puzzled gaze for a few moments and then pushed it hack, with the remark: “ I will bet you.” “ Bet me’ what?” asked the at­ tendant. "The half dollar.” “On what?” , “ I’ll Let you that the chicken brings more than tho horse I just bought.” ' Charles Roads’* Literary Method. llcade’s literary work was, Sir Robert Anderson remarks, a rare combination of genius and plodding, A brass scuttle which stood by the fireplace held the illustrated and other papers which reached him week by week. From these he culled' anything that took his fancy, and the cuttings were thrown into a companion scuttle, to be afterward inserted in scrapbooks and duly in­ dexed, Materials for his novels and plays were thus supplied or suggest­ ed/ The accuracy of hi3 descrip­ tions of events and places was phe­ nomenal.—Blackwood's Magazine. Changed His Tun*. It is said that when President Polk visited Boston lie was impress­ ively received at Faneuil hall mar­ ket.' The clerk walked in front of him down the length of the market, announcing in loud tones: “Make way, gentlemen, for the president of the United States! Fellow citi­ zens, make room!” The chief had stepped into oiie of the stalls to loo!: at some game, when the clerk turned around sud­ denly and, finding _himself alone, suddenly changed ids tone and ex­ claimed': “My gracious!

"Lot mo tell'you a story,” said the president as he motioned to me to remain. “I was living in a west­ ern city, and three city lots com­ posed tho capital that I looked to to give me a start in business. I held (in to them for a long time while working for $85 a month in a real estate office until they had advanced in value to $3,000, when I cold them to a St. Louis man." “It was nearly 3 o’clock, and I hurried to the hank. I made out the deposit clip and laid it, with my gold and bank book, in front of the .'receiving teller. “ ‘It is dosing time now,’ he said, ‘and you had better not make your deposit until morning.’ ” “ ‘Charley,’ I said, for I knew him well, ‘that is ridiculous. It is a half minute before dosing time, and I insist that you take my, de­ posit. I don’t want to be robbed of all I have on earth before morning.’ “ ‘I will fix it for you,’ lie said as he gathered up tho money and bank book and disappeared in the vault with them. In a minute he was hack, and I was astonished at. his actions. . “ ‘I have put it my private box,’ he continued, ‘where it will he safe, and in the morning yon can make the deposit if you want to.’ “ Next morning the bank’s failure was announced. “I hurried to Charlie’s house, which was near by, and asked him about the bank. “ ‘Yes, it has failed andwon’t pay a cent,’ he said. ‘Just five minutes before you came in with your mon­ ey yesterday the directors decided not 'to open this.morning. I was told to give out no information un­ til business hours today, and that is the reason I didn’t tell you. If you had made your deposit the money would have all gone. How it is safe in my box and you can have it at any moment you please.’ “I did get it, and, it was the. foun­ dation of my fortune. The man who was.,jusb here is that Charlie and was the teller who saved my capital for me,” ______ , Th* Sun’s Vapors. “ Chromosphere” is the name giv-.. en to a layer of incandescent vapors „m the snn, enveloping the entire 'diotosphere. Its depth varies at ‘-Terent times and in different •rts and range* #r**a -SjMNft 4*- 3,000 miles. The chromosphere 'onsists chiefly of hydrogen and an element known as helium, while heavier vapors, such as those of iron calcium, titanium, magnesium, etc., are sometimes projected into it from the photosphere. The so called “prominences” are due to projec­ tions of hydrogen that are snot up to enormous altitudes, with veloci­ ties exceeding 140 miles per second. The name chromosphere is given to this solar envelope on account of its beautiful rosy hue. It is visible only during total eclipses of the sun or by the aid of the spectroscope and is said to have been firstnoticed by Father Saechi during an eclipse. —Hew York American. ’ T h * S illicit B ird *, Dodo is the Portuguese name for simpleton, and it is given to the silliest bird that ever lived. Three hundred years ago, when the Portu­ guese first visited the island of Mau­ ritius, they found a large number of these birds. They were about the size of a largo swan, blackish gray in color and having only a bunch of feathers in place of a tail and little, useless wings. More stupid and foolish birds could not he imagined. They ran about mak­ ing a "silly, hissing nohe like a goose, and the sailors easily knocked them over with their paddles. They couldn’t fly, they couldn’t swim, they couldn’t run at any great speed, and ao for lighting, they were the great­ est cowards in tho world. They tvero much too stupid to build a nest, and so they dropped an egg and went off to let it hatch as best it could. ___ _ H ew to G row Short, If you climb a mountain your height decrease:! by three-quarters of an inch, and it may even diminish exceptionally hv a full inch. This H a fact known to all experienced mountain and Alpine climbers. On reaching the umnmit of the heights that form the pleasure ascents of holiday makers in the Alpine dis­ tricts the stature of tho climber is found to have become less to the extent already mentioned. When the Alpinist has descended to the ordinary level his height begins to increase, but the normal-length of the body is not attained uiitil sev­ eral hours after reaching the regu­ lar surface of the earth.
