Why I dont keep a largo and more

answer to an Inquiry It seems some-

what strange too ho continued ratherstrange that tithes for the smoking oftobacco should bo more generally used

by Europeans than we

consider that they were used on this eon

tiiicnv forages before they wire knownanywhere else Its a fact that strikesanEuropean as noticeable amid alt othersurroundings strange familiar or incon-

gruous upon arrival in this country

that Americans nre rarely seen on tho

streets witli tobacco pipes In their mouths

Whereas In Eugnnd France and Ger-

many smokers of almost every class ofsociety appear In public with a plpo In

occoidance whh the common custom of

the country The outdoor use of tho

plpo seeuu to bo entirely uonpirmUiablcin our own land the elgar in many

cases of ruttier doubtful quality or tho

ably said to date from Ibo tune when theweed Itself was taken there by HulelghIn the 15th century Tho first governorof Virginia Is said to have presented anIndian plpo to Halelgh and this being In-

troduced In England was theof alt existing forms of pipes It fs cer-

tain that all nations learned from theEnglish tho art of making clay and otherkind of pipes

Where are the various kinds of pipesmanufactured

The principal centre of the manufac-ture of clay pipes is situated at Broseley-In Staffordshire England where themanufacture was established early lu the17th century Franco is celebrated fortho manufacture of wooden pipes of allkinds especially those mode from whatit known as brIar root This Is the woodof the tree heath which possesses greathardness and beauty ol grain Greatskill i requisite to avoid waste when cut-ting out the pipes which aro subjected toa peculiar process of bolting In oil to bringout the rich redbrown hue so much admired In u good briar root by connoisseurs In pipes The genuine Frenchbriar root pipes are expensive but arepossessed of certain qualities of sweet-ness etc highly appreciable by smokersand existing in none of the numerousImitations which aro sold at a lowerfigure As aptly as the clay may be saidto the plebeian of pipes so may themeerschaum be termed the aristocratGermany has long been celebrated for themanufacture of meerschaum pipes andsome of the most beautiful are made InVienna The Imitations of meerschaumtake a osvide range but none equal thegcuulwb article which is par excellencethe material for a tobacco pipe ou ac-

count of Its porousness and lightness ofweight By Its porousness it readily ab-

sorbs the nicotine thereby obviatingmuch annoyance to the smoker Speak-ing from a smokers standpoint a wellcolored meerschaum pipe Is Indeed a thingof beauty and Joy forever Clay pipesas well as niccrbchaum are cleanly onaccount of their porous qualities but thatcannot bo said of the porcelain ppeswhich lack powers absorbtlou as
