couslderubly In material and shaiic.

tor In ditormtnlng tho character of tho
amoke. Tbua there Is the clay, the
meerschaum, and the various wooden
pipes, tho brier, the cherry, or myall
Next to the tobacco, therefore, which
should always be pure aud free from
added flavoring, an expedient which Is
resorted to far too commonly nowa
day, probably In many Instances to
cover an Inferior quality of tolineco, the
beat kind of plpo Is the point to be con
sidered. Even assuming that be Is smoking
good tobacco, tho smoker knows how
different In cbnracter the Biuuko Is
when drawn from a clay or a wooden
bowl. There Is prolmbly a sclcutlilc ex
planation of this fact which must have
Borne bearing on the noxious or Innocu
ous character of the smoke associated
with other products of eombustlou. A
soft clay Is Invariably cool smoking,
because tho acrid, oils obtained In tho
dertruetlvo dlMtlllatlou of the tobacco
nro absorlied Instead of collecting In a
Uttlo pool, which must eventually, eith
er by tho vohitllixntlon or by mediant
otil couveyumv, reach the mouth. A
particular pipe "smokes hot," not nec
essarily because the temperture of the
smoke Is high, but liecuuse tt favors tho
passage by one of those means of tho
oils Into tho mouth. Meerschaum Is an
other porous material.
Again, an old wooden ple or brier,
so dear to Inveterate smokers, becomes
"smooth smoking" because the pores of
the wood widen and so almorb. as Is the
ciue with eluy and meerschaum, a largo
proportion of the lotmcco oils. Thus an
old plpo "sweats," as It Is torined-Uiat
Is, the oil Intrudes Into the expanded
pores of the wooden Isiwl, nud at length
exudes. Similarly, a book-shaped pipe
must be better than a pipe the bowl of
which Is ou tho same level ns tho
mouth, for the simple reason that lu the
former a considerable quantity of the
oil Is kept back lu Uie U-shnix-d mrt of
the pipe, while lu the latter the oil trav
els easily down the stem.
Ebonite stems are In general objec
tionable because they commonly spoil
the true flavor of tobacco smoke. This
Is moat probably due to the sulphur of
the elmnltc combining with the volatllo
oils In the smoke. We know Instances
where elxiulle stems have produced dis
tinctly objectionable symptoms lu tho
tin-out, most probably for the reason
Just given. Bono or real nmlior makes
a much more satisfactory stem, or tho
pipes should be of wood throughout.
Amlier substitutes, and ewpoclaJly cellu
loid, should Ik? discarded entirely ns
dangerous, while the flavor of camphor
which these Invariably communicate to
the smoke forms a very unpleasant
combination.
Pipes of sMM-lal construction cannot

those which are said to lie hygienic, nnd

tobacco yields little nicotine In tho

ON DRIVING HORSES.
fllots os the Care of Man's Noblsst
Animal Friends.
A driver should study and know the
bone be I to drive. Being familiar
wltb the spirit of the horse Is oue of
4he very Important thing. A driver
mint also know how tho horse should
be fed. If ho bna no one upon whom ho
can Implicitly rely to do the feeding.
Ilevlowlng these general matters of
both driving and feeding, a writer on
the borse says that some can drive
thirty or even forty tulle at a good rate
of speed aud have tho animal In lietter
condition at the end than another after
driving th same borse live miles. It la
not by any menus driving fsst that In
jures a borse so much as Improper driv
ing. Often more strength and vitality
la taken out of a bone In two mile
of fretting, through the mismanage
ment of the driver, than In going sev
eral times this distance with proper
care. Borne uiea cannot drive without
a whip In their bands, whether It I
needed or not, and, while there I no
doubt that In ome cast the whip Is
necessary, yet UVW often the cause of
BMrs batons; oa ths port of t lively

hone than any one thing. The driver
who think that because bis horse 1
fresh be can stand It to be driven fast
at the itnrt for several mile, and then
given a chance to rest by going slow, or
who drive fust for a while and then
slow down to s walk In order to rest
up for another spurt, will not get the
best speed out of a bono wltb the least
wasto of vitality, especially In going
long distances. It Is a steady gait that
count most aud wears the hone least,
filvo him a chance to get warmed up
first, and then let the gnlt be a steady
one. Another Item t not to feed too
heavily before driving. A light feed of
oats will be far bettor than a heavier
feed of t more bulky grain. Exercise
or action too soon after eating retard
digestion, and the anlmnl that must
travel at a good gait with a loaded
stomach cannot but show the effects,
nnd If driven rapidly for even a short
distance after eating benrty meal
there Is considerable risk of tho colic.
Watering properly Is fully as Important
a feeding. When a bone I being driv
en on tho road bo should not at any
time be allowed to overcharge his stom
ach with a large quantity of water. So
far as Is possible the rule should bo to
give water frequently, ami, while he
should have all bo will drluk. It should
be given In small doses, A borse In
good health can stand mors work and
more driving without Injury tbnn one
that Is In any way out of condition.
Tho feed and care should be such as are
beat calculated to maintain health and
condition, and then when on the road
caro must bo taken to use hi strength
and vigor to tho beat advantago, ,
