If any luxurious smoker would like to pay $2 for a pipe he can find the oppor- tunity at two or three different jewelry establishments on State street. They do net keep such costly pipes in stock, as customers are few and far between, but they are prepared to make them to order. A pipe at this price must, of course, be expensively jeweled, and they are not an article of common sale. ‘These jewel-d pipes are usually made of the finest quality of meerschaum and am- ber, specially and artistically carved and variously mounted. Sometimes they are mounted with a band of diamonds and ru- bes around the bowl at the top, and in ether cases diamonds or other precious stones are set around the stem where the mouthpiece joins it. Such pipes are some- Umes sold for gifts, but it is doubtful if the owners ever smoke them. It is more likely that when not exhibiting them to their friends they keep them locked up in a safety deposit vault © State street shops one may see silver mounted meerschaum pipes at $20 to $25 that are an article of regular sale. No pipe nigher than $25 is kept reg- ularly in stock. These are not carved pipes, Dut as a rule perfectly plain, though they are of the finest materials and work- manship and design. Customers are not numerous even for $25 pipes, but occasion- ally along toward the holiday season a de- voted wife who has become resigned to her husband’s smoking habit will buy one to surprise him with her generosity. Many simple little briar pipes are shown that sell from $8 to $15. Some have plain silver mounting and amber mouthpieces, and others are delicately inlaid with silver, which work must be done by hand. These pipes as a rule come from England and France. briar is the very choicest and handsomest, and the amber is of the the workmaitahip is of the bot Rete at workmanship it. these briar = pipes have bone stems made from the wing of the albatross. ‘Tt matters little what it is that want whether a situation or a scrvant—a “want” will reach the NEWS ARLINGTON.

Frem the Memphis Cor mereial Appeal. “It is an old story,” said the drummer, as he took a fresh cigar, “and perhaps you have heard it before, but it is one of the best on record, and I firmly believe that it is true. The first time I heard it I was not in a nice, comfortable hotel lke this, but away out in a little country town. We were seated around a huge wood fire, and a stiff wind on the outside made us feel like we were the most fortunate people in the world. The wind grew in force all the while, until at length the weather turned bitter cold. The thoughtful and generous landlord heaped the wood high up in the broad fireplace, the logs cracked and the flames roared merrily up the chimney, bid- ding defiance to the warring elements with- out. “The town was just thirty-five miles out from Memphis, but {t was off the railroad a bit. Several of us had taken long drives across the country that day and were worn out. Gathered around the big fire were a number of drummers, basking in the warm room and smoking their cigars and pipes. Now, you know by experience, young man, that as soon as a drummer eats his supper and lights bis cigar, he will tell a story in spite of al! you can do. So, of course, we commenced to relate our experiences without delay. We first dis- ussed the matter of giving alms to beg- gars, and, as we were all city folks, we dis- missed the topic without much talk, hav- ing determined that it was unadvisable to bestow money on persons indiscriminately. “We all laughed and joked for a long while, and the big fire had almost burned out. T noticed a young fellow in the crowd who had not spoken a word all during this ime. He sat in a corner near the fireplace nd seemed to be meditating, for his cigar was between his fingers, and the ashes on it showed that he was not very much in- terested in the smoking proposition. He had a queer face. It was the face of a young man who was prematurely old. His eyes were bright, yet the wrinkles on his brow and the hardened appearance of his features seemed to indicate that he was older than he appeared. He was dressed in the usual neat attire of a drummer. At length he arose and stood up before the whole party as if he intended to make a speech. It was growing a trifle chilly in the room, and the landlord had become drowsy and was asleep on a long bench. “*You fellows can refuse a beggar,’ be- gan the drummer, as he looked all of us Squarely in the face, ‘but I never will. I want to tell you a little story. It was just such a night as this and I had started from my hotel in St. Louis to walk down to the theater. It was fearfully cold; the snow was on the street several inches deep and the dark, low clouds looked as if more would fall before morning. I buttoned my top coat close around my throat and hur- ried along the sidewalk. As I turned a corner, a sharp gust of cold wind almost took me off my feet. While I was settling my hat back on my head again a man hob- bled up to me and asked me to give him some money, so that he could get a place to sleep. I dismissed him with a tart reply and walked on. There was something pe- culiar about that man which attracted my attention. He had a pair of large blue eyes that seemed to stare into my very soul. I walked briskly and tried to forget him, but I had not proceeded far before he overtook me again and pleaded with me to give him a quarter. I was foolish in those days and did not like to get soft-hearted, so I told him that if he did not leave me at once I would call a policeman. “That night I sat in the warm theater, where were gathered the best people in the city. There were scores of pretty women there, but somehow I didn’t care to look at them. Everywhere I looked I could see a large pair of blue eyes staring at me piti- fully. I went to bed, and in my sleep those same eyes haunted me. I dreamed that some one was under my window crying in the cold for help, and I cursed him and told him to leave me alone. “‘The next morning I awoke, and after breakfast walked down the street. I had not gone far when I saw a crowd of men standing near the corner. There was evi- dently something wrong, and out of curios- ity I walked up to see what was going on. The heating stove is once again coming into requisition. It has had its vacation, Instances a longer one than F Wm. Hk McKnew.!

In coal, gas, oil, steam and electricity we have va- ried and abundant sources of heat, while in the forms through which their services are rendered we have a range of artistic and efficient appliances in which the stove- maker, the engineer and the decorator have shown their speciai lines of skill. The radiators in our public buildings, the fur- naces that distribute warm air in -private houses and the dainty stove heated with oil, coal or gas, are as types of modern workmanship bewildering in their variety and fascinating in their picturesque adorn- ments. Nor is efficiency sacrificed to ap- pearance. The most warmth from the least fuel, and at the least cost of time and trouble, are among the objects sought and reached in the modern heating apparatus. At less cost than ever, and in more nomes of the humble kind than ever, the wintry side of the year is made to glow with warmth and comfort. In the modern oil and gas stove, for instance, we have a cheap, cleanly and effective’ method of keeping Jack Frost on the right side of the window and the wall. It is in reach of all except those in the lower stratas of pov- erty; it can be moved hither and thither with ease; is independent of smoky chim- neys or vexatious and disjointed pipe, and in its cheapest form is as much a pleasure to the eye as it is a comfort to the bone. What may yet be brought about by ingenu- ity and science in the improvement of heat- ing apparatus in economics of combustion it is impossible to forecast. The supply of warmth from central stations by arteries of pipe; the more general and cheaper use of furnaces: the larger distribution of gas; the minimizing of hazards in explosive oils and the science of obtaining the most heat from the least coal are all among the pcssi- bilities of progress in the art of house warming. —__—__-e-__ BASELY BETRAYED.

In pardonable admiration of Mayor Phe- lan’s native son statue, Douglas Tilden, the sculptor, and Willis Polk, the architect, were gazing at the finished work a few days ago, when Polk noticed two men, plainly tourists from their costumes and customs, discussing the merits of Tilden’s latest artistic triumph.
