Watteville, who has devoted many years to the formation of a collec- tion of pipes of all nationalities, Watteville declares that while cigars and cigarettes are cosmopol- ftan, pipes show by thelr peculiarl- ties the characteristics of the race which smokes them. The activity of a race, says M. Watteville, is proportionate to the length of the stem of the pipe which it smokes. The longer the stem ts, the lazier are the people who smoke it, and, inversely, the hardest work- ers amoke the shortest pipes. Big pipe bowls denote generosity, small pipe bowls prove economy Disband McNamara League. FRANCISCO, Dec. 27.-—-The mara Defe league of Cali- fornia is no more.
