A Description or the Way In Which They Are Manufactured and Various Dmlgns. It will surprise nearly every Brook lynite, saya the Eagle, to know that nine-tenths of all the tobacco clay pipes manufactured in the United States are made in Brooklyn, and yet such is the fact Over fifteen thousand gross of clay pipes are annually produced by the three factories located in this city, which together employ thirty hands, or an average of ten each. A visit was made to the largest of these factories, which is situated on Kosciusko street, near Broadway, and which is run on the co operative system, being the result of a combination of several small manufac turers, who found that the profit on the goods was too small to allow of much competition. Probably less than one person in a thousand knows how the clay pipe is made. The clay used in the manufacture of the common pipe is obtained from Woodbridge, N. J., and costs at the pit $3 per ton. With freight and carting added, the raw material costs delivered at the factory 5 per ton. The clay obtained at Wood bridge is said to be superior for ninc-makinz to that ob tained in Dorsetshire and Devonshire in England, as it is more absorbent and therefore more healthy to the smoker. A fine bed of clay is also workod to some extent at Glen Cove, L. I. The clav after being delivered at the factory is allowed to stand in the sun for a few days to become seasoned. After beim exposed sufficiently long it is mixed with water and "milled." the process consisting of running it through a mill which crushes it ami removes all grit and foreign substantias. After coming from the mill it is worked and kneaded by band, much in the same mauner as bread, and whatever grit remains is carefully removed. Great care is taken to have the clay of the same consistency throughout as otherwise the pipe would crack and become spoiled under the test of the kiln. When the clay has been worked sufficiently it is given to tho roller," as tho man who fashions it is called. His tools are of the simplest, a wooden bench, a stool, a rolling-board, and his hands constituting his "kit." The clay is placed on the right hand of the bench, in easy reaching distance to the workman, and then the second pro cess of pijKi-making is gone through. Grasping a handful of clay the work man .separates it in halves, and, placing them on the board, rolls them, one with each hand, until they have reached the length desired, one end, of which the bowl is made, resembling a small-sized pear. When il is remembered that only about one ounce of extra clay is allowed for each dozen pipes rolled, it will be seen how dillicult it is to grasp just the exact amount necessary for each pipe from the pile of clay without call ing into requisition the aid of scales. After being rolled the partly-formed pipe is laid on a board just the length of the pipe desired, when if the stem is too loug it is broken off at the required length. After one dozen pipes have been roll ed in tlis fashion they are bunched and passed over to the helper, who sits on the opposite side of the bench, on one end of Which is the machine with which the pipe is made, it consists of a lever, at the lower eud of which is a plunger, the size of the bowl of the pipe to be made. Below the plunger is a slat in which the jrou mold is placed, the slat allowing the mold to enter until the bowl of the pipe is directly underneath the E lunger. When the half-made pipes are anded to the man at the machine he picks up the bunch in one hand, dip ping the othei in oil, with which he oils the clay, separating the bunch as he does so. After oiling the clay he picks up the iron mold, which is double, separating at the center, and opening it lie dips his linger in the oil and with a quick movement oils the inside of the mold, which from constant use shines like burnished bteel. The mold is the exact size and shaiie of the pipe. After the mold is oiled the workman picks up a long steel wire and, oiling it, pro ceeds "to insert il in the stem of the pipe, pulling the clay on in about the same maimer as a glove is put on the hand. After the wire has been inserted nearly to the bowl portion of the pipe, the clay is placed in a mold, which is then closed and placed in the slot of the machine, care being taken that the wire in the stem does not reach to the bowl, as if it did the plunger which forms the bowl would break it The mold is pushed as far as possible into the slot, and while being held there with one hand the workman turns a screw at the side of the machine, with the other hand, forcing an iron plate against the mold, the pressure forcing out all superfluous clay and forming the pipe. The lever to which the plunger is attached is then lowered, the plunger entering the bowl portion of the mold forcing out the clay and making the bowl. The mold is then withdrawn from the machine, the wire -in the stem being forced into the bowl of the pipe, making the hole through which the smoke is drawn. The clay which has been forced out of the mold is then cut away with a knife and the pipe re moved from the mold and placed upon a tray. In some of the machines used a knife is attached to the lever, the superfluous clay being cut from the mold as it is removed from the ma chine. It is an American invention, but owing to the fact that it docs not always work smoothly it is only used upon the more common pipes. The wooden trays when full are placed in the sun to allow the clay to dry moder ately. They are then taken by a girl, and each pipe is carefully polished with a piece of hard wood. A "rinitner," a block of hard wood, is placed in the bowl and turntd around to smooth the bowL while a piece of iron attached to the "riuimer" cuts the wreath on the outside of the bowl. The stamp that is seen on the front of the bowl is then put on by means of a hand stamp, and the pipe is ready for the "potter," another girl, who places the pipes, bowl down, into an earthen pot called a "sagger," which,-after being filled with pipes, is covered with a Hat earthen cover and Dlaced in the kiln. The clay before be ing fired is of a slaty blue. The various decorations, such as wreaths, fern j leaves, figures, eta, seen on the pipes are formed by the mold. After the kiln has been filled with the "Baggers" con taining the pipes the door is closed and the fire built The fuel used is charcoal and coke, and the tire is kept at a white beat for twentv hoars, the heat entering tne lam Dy means of flues. Great care is taken not to allow the flames to reach the white clay piinss, as the slightest touch of tire would blacken them. After remaining in the kiln the required time the pipes, which by that time have be come perfectly white and hard, are re moved and allowed to cool, and are then carefully examined and placed in the boxes and barrels ready for ship ment The clay pipes, the bowls of which are colored in imitation of smoked meerschaum, are made in the same manner, excepting that the "lire is al lowed to reach them in the kiln the color being obtained from it. The white clay pipes which look like new meerschaum are made so by being varnished. The factory visited makes about fifty different styles of pipes at present, and can make as many as the ingenuity ot man can suggest by means of molds. One style of pipe was of red clay ob tained from Maryland, in the form of a head, and that head representing the famous Brooklyn divine, Kkv. Dr. Tal mage. Tho mouth is used for the bowl of tne pipe, the neck being utilized for the stem. The demand for' this style of pype was very large for a time, but none are manufactured now. Various other curious styles were seen, one a bust of Garfield, which proved a total failure on the market MISSING LINKS.

UNION .JACK IIISTOKY. Carious Point About tli Vanner of Great Krltalu anil Ireland. We are all familiar with the white, blue, and red ensigns, and with the union jack which occupies the upper quarter nearest the flagstaff. The white ensign has the red cross of St George in addition to the union jack. Without the jack this white ensign with a red cross represents our old national flag as it existed from the time of Richard I. until the death of Elizabeth. This red cross flag, the banner of St. George ap pears to have been chosen by the Sol dier King in honor of the saint who was the patron of soldiers. It remained for more than four hundred years the flag under which the English warriors fought on land and on sea. When James VI. of Scotland succeeded Elizabeth the Scotch had a national flag. That also was a cross, but it was shaped different ly from that of St. George and was known as the Cross of St. Andrew. The ground of the Scotch flag was blue, and its cross was white. To mark the union of the two kingdoms under one sov ereign the national banner underwent a change, although Scotland still re tained its separate Parliament In the new flag (he two banners of England and Scotland were united. There ap jieared in it the oblique white cross of St. Andrew on a blue ground, and the red cross of St. George on a white mar gin, worked in the blue field. The king was accustomed to sign his name in the French form of .lames, "Jacques." He was, in fact, the Union Jacques, or, as we improperly pronounce il. Jack. For local purposes the Scotch still continued to use the white St Andrew's cross on the blue field and the English the red cross on the white field. It was stated by royal proclamation in 1G0G that "whereas some difference hath arisen between our subjects of South and North Britain, traveling by was. about the bearing of their flags. For the avoiding ofall such contentions here after we have, with the advice of our council, ordered that from henceforth all our subjects of this Isle and king dom of Great Britain and the members thereof shall bear in their maintop the Red Cross, commonly called St. George's Cross, and the White Cross, commouly called St. Andrew's Cross, joined to gether," "and in their foretop our sub jects of South Britain shall wear the Red Cross only, as they were wont; and our subjects of North Britain in their foretop the White Cross only, as they i were accustomed." In 1707, when the Scotch aud English Legislatures were united, the distinctive dags ceased to be used, aud the united dags as arranged in 1G0G became the single ensign for the United Kingdom. It was the sovereign that made the union and established the national Hag. aud an estaolishmeut of distinct Legislatures again would not alter the Hag. Ireland would take pre sumably for its local ensign the red cross of St Patrick. This Irish banner ought to have appeared in the Union flag of 1G0G, but it did uot Ireland had no distinct recognition in the union flag until 1801, when the Irish and British Legislatures were united. At that date the union jack underwent a further change, ami the red diagonal cross of St. Patrick on a white held was intro duced. Since that date the union jack has shown the red cross and white mar gin, recalling the banner of St. George; the white diagonal and blue field of St. Aud lew's banner, and the red diagonal cross of St. Patrick showing over the white diagonal cross of the Scotch ban ner. The blue ground of the jack is, therefore, due to Scotland, and- the red and white as crosses aud margins to England and to Ireland. Loudon Daily A'eivs. ai THE TALI-: OF A TAB. Which Show that Young Mea Shoald Read tli I.HbeU on Their Coats. Several weeks ago. says tiie Pittsburg Dispatch, a gentleman, known in this transaction as Eugene Reading, bought a dark gray Norfolk summer coat while making a flying trip to Boston. jOn the inside of the collar of tho coat was fastened the manufacturer's tab bear ing the insignificant characters: "Lot 21.7.13. B. 58." When Reading tore tha tag off his eye caught some writing on the side which had been next to the coat He read: "Melissa Polley, West Bowdoin. Maine.1' He put the tab into his pocket, transacted his business, and a couple of weeks after his return to Pittsburg decided to make a test of this gentle hint to mankind in general. He wrote a letter to Miss Polley, in which he told her that he had discovered her name upon the tab and congratulated her upon her excellent workmanship, saying that one who could sew so neat ly must, indeed, be a young lady of other commendable and lovable quali ties. He emphasized his sincerity by calling her a "pretty tailoress," and professed the strange 'awakening with in his heart of something akin to genu ine regard, if not affection, for the ladv who had made the rarnieut. The letter carrietTsafely, and in due . . ' time came the following frank, yet modest reply: - West Bowdoin. Me.. Aujr. 13. 1888. Dear Friend: I received your letter of congratula tions, and thought 1 wnuM toankyou for it: and I Iwpo the coat is niBde nice. But I nhnuld like to know what kind of a coat it is' ir it is a Norfolk. As to the '-pretty tailoress." there is n such wont in the book: but 1 do not know what tbo male sex would do if it were not for the old maids to do their tailoring- So I will close vith many thanks and tola of good wishes. Yours Irulr, MELISSA 8. POLLKV. P. S. You say you purchased your coat some lime ago. Have you been thinking- it over all this time' Excuse zae for being so saucy, but 1 hope you have got it settled. MELISSA. Mr, Reading had evidently "got it settled," and, if any doubt had remain ed in his mind, the gentle hint in the postscript had wiped it away, for the return mail carried a letter full of burn ing words and such other nonsense as a lover, or one ambitious for that posi- ' tton, is apt to use. A correspondence followed, and letters passed each other, 1 going and coming between them, at an j average of twice and then three times a ' week. The conclusion finally reached by the young Pittsburger. who had received ample encouragement in his suit was that life would be burdensome without his "pretty tailoress," for sho has proven to "be such from her picture, which he got one day recently; and af ter all, the term "old maid," which she had applied to herself, was a ruso to test the interest of her Pittsburg ad mirer. She has his picture, aud from the dissertation she wrote upon it has certainly concluded that her strangely captured lover is a man of handsome face and kindly features, for she writes: "If you are just half as good as yon look.l am proud of your professed ad miration and interest in tne." That sentence is what clinched the matter as far as Readiug was concern ed. He immediately wrote a proposal of marriage aud asked that her accept ance or refusal be sent by telegram. He received the following: Eugene Heading; Yes. with plenaiire. MELISSA. The overjoyed lover almost hugged the district boy who delivered the mes sage to him, and, after reading it over aud over, wrote tho following with trembling hand: Good. 1 am coining as soon as 1 can get a leave of absence.

How It Has Bean Devoted to Tracing- Up hu Katate. Mrs. M. R Cody, who some time since identified herself with the great Euclid aveuue inheritance in Cleveland, ,i)., has returned from that city, firm in the belief that she has got a taugible case, and that riches are in store for her and hers. She has made a thorough investi gation of the subject, and returns jubi lant over her hoped-for success. The Euclid avenue property of Cleve land, O., valued at $15,000,000, now claimed by the Cody heirs, has associat ed with it many interesting facts, some of which are given below. 'I he rights of the Cody heirs were made public by Mrs. M. E. Cody of this city. She is the wife of Elijah Cody, the third son of Philip Cody, to whom the property formerly belonged. At an early day Elijah Cody and family emigrated to Colorado from Weston, Mo., where Mr. Cody had been engaged in the mer cantile business for nineteen vears. Isaac Cody, the father of W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill), emigrated with his family to Weston in 184, ami remained there as a guest of his brother Elijah until the whites settled in Kansas. At Salt Creek Valley he took up a farm, and during tho Kansas war took a very active part in politics. .loseph Cody, the youngest son of Philip Cody, isthe'one who, it is alleged, perpetrated the fraud by getting his father, who was demented, to deed the property over to him. A short time be fore his death he is said to have con fessed to William Cody that he had rob bed the Cody heirs and had a presenti ment that he was uot going to live long and wanted the heirs to claim tne property. He left a wife ami daughter in Cleveland, where they are at the present time. William Cody visited his aunt, Mrs. M. K. Cody, at Virginia City, Nev., where she then resided, and told the story of how his Uncle Joseph had de frauded the heirs. Mrs. Cody immedi ately wrote to the law firm of Teller & Orahood, this city, for advice. Mrs. Cody came to Denver and from here went to Cleveland, where she began her search. She iiist examined the records, where the forged deeds, she says, were found. The next movement was lo find the heirs. She traveled north, south, ea?t, ami west, including Canada, .searching not only among the wealthy, but mak ing inquiries in the alms-houses as well. She visited the Society of (.Junkers, weut lo the stone-quarries' ano gtaveyards, where she had to kneel down, in some cases, aud scrape the .snow aud earth front old moss-covered tombstones to gel names and dates. As an instance of her euergy, she heard one evening of a witness who lived somewhere in a remote part of Michigan, and left on the earliest train for that point. She has spent almost two years in just such hard work as this, because she firmly believes that she has a good case. Her attorneys frequently remarked that her services were worth over $10 a day to the Cody heirs, which it has f i roved, as the heirs have gained the awsuit in tho Court of Common PJeat. the four, hundred aud odd defendants setting up the statutes of limitation. The court held that the statute could not apply as a bar to judgment when crime was shown. The case was then taken into the Uuited States Court, where it is now. Den ver Tribune. What to Do In Sickness. A person who is ailing should be kept In bed in a well-ventilated room where plenty of fresh air is admitted from open windows. If in winter, the tem- Eerature can be regulated by artificial eat from an open fire, or otherwise as most convenient, and the window low ered from the top. In summer, the blinds or awnings should be arranged to exclude the direct rays of tho sun. The patient should be encouraged to sleep as much as possible and never awakoned on any pretence. If there are children in he house they should be kept out of the room. When there is headache or pain in the eyes reading must be prohibited and very few visit ors admitted. A warm sponge bath should be given in the morning, and a very light breakfast: oatmeal gruel, and milk, a cup of coca, or tea, with a soda biscuit. If there is no improve ment as the day goes on the food must be very simple and given in small. Jiuantities. The difficulty may arise rom an over-burdened stomach which requires rest before it can recover tone. When there is nausea, fasting for some hours should be tried and then a few spoonfuls of cold milk and lime water given cautiously. When the head is hot relief can be "obtained by wringing a strip of linen out of ice water and lay ing a single thickness on the forehead. In this case the feet will probably be cold and should have bottles of hot water wrapped in flannel put to them. If the throat is sore a strip of flannel may be wrung out of cold water and bound around it covered with a cotton bandage. If there is only slight inflam mation this will relieve it When there is constipation a simple enema of warm water may be given as safer than any purgative medicine.

To Marry a King. Down in Hanover county. Virginia, not many miles from this city, is an Af rican girl who is destined to marry a king. At the present time she is a mem ber of the family of the Rev. Curtis Grubb. an Episcopal clergyman, who many years ago went out from Loudoun couutv. Virginia, as a missionary to western Africa. While there he and his wife became much attached to a lit tle girl, a princess of the nation among whom they were prosecuting their mis sionary work, and when it came time for them to return to their home in America they asked permission that the child should accompany them. She was then uot more than 8 or 9 years of age. Her father, when first requested to al low bis daughter to come to America, gave his consent, it may be not think ing that the missionary and his wife were serious in their intention of taking the child home with them, but when it came time for the departure he did not waut her to go. He was told that he had promised that she might be taken by the missionary. It is a cardinal principle among the tribe- that a prom ise once made cannot be broken, if it is insisted upon, so the father reluctantly gave his couseut that the child might go. The missionary named it Nettie, after his own wife, and treated it more as a plaything and curiosity than as a servant. Though baviug children of their own, the littlo Africau girl was treated us though of the same kith and kin. und looked up to the missionary and his wife as though they were ner t own parents. She made progress in education, und learned the ways of Americans with amazing rapidity. Greater jioliteness could not be expected of a Pariiiuu than she always displays. Never can she be induced to pass in front of any one, aud whenever she hands anything to a person it is her in variable custom to fall upon her knees in an exaggerated courtesy. She is now 14 years old. she has arrived at the age when she would be eligible to mar riage if still among her own people. Ever since she came to America a cor respondence has been kept up between Mr. Grubb and his successors in Africa, aud thus her friends have heard from her and she from them. In a letter re cently received Mr. Grubb was request ed to give his consent tiiat little Nettie might return to her native land that the king of her country might marry her. This request will probably be complied with if the child herself cau be induced to give nit her American friend.), to whom she is very much attached.

The National Re t'fttt. Netlson and a St. Louis Maiden. Willie Winter, the dramatic critic, U about to ismiu a life of Adelaide Neil son. He would have done well had he sought in St. Louis for some interesting incidents ol her social life, for not only was the beautiful and talented actress much admired and courted us a queen of the stage, but as a soc ial star when she visited this cilv. She had manv warm friends and intimate associate among the best-known aud highest-bred women in St. LouR In one old French family there are threo sisters who al ways make a visit on the anniversary ot her death to the mulberry tree planted in her memory near the monument to Snakspe.ire at Tower Grove park, and on one of its boughs they hang a gar land of flowers, whose groundwork of immortelles remains until another an- j niversary brings fresh flowers as an of fering. Her pictures are always for .sale in the book and art stores, and in many private homes tliey are framed and bung in conspicuous places. The writer once accompanied Nellie Hazel tine in a visit to Adelaide Neilson. who was found surrounded by a bevy of call ers. She received the S"t. Louis beauty, who was already personally known to her. most warmly, and, holding out her hand, said, in a low tone: 'Stay until these people are gone, please,1 and the belle staid. Hardly had Neilson bowed the last caller out of the reception-room before she bounded to tho sofa, where our home beauty was seated, and, seiz ing both hands, she said: I want to look deep into your eyes, for men tell me here that mine are like yours, and you know men read us through our eyes.1 And those two sat half laugh ing and gazed for a minute into each other's eyes, such glorious eyes as both proved, with looks that had all the earnest innocence of two children, who seek for 'wells1 in each other's eves.

Thereupon it is recorded that Oh: Joe' assumed his judicial attitude, softly caressed one hand with the other, stroked his long wiiite beard, drew its two longest white hairs through his knotty fingers, and said: Well. now.

The women of fiction form, perhaps, the most delightful ideal possession of the civilized races of the world. Inven tion, based upon imitation, has produc ed true and lovely images of the fairest and sweetest creatures that make the earth divine. To few men it is given to know and meet in actual life' women who rise to the altitude of worth and charm of the women of the poets, and it is pre-eminently the happy task of the poet to embody for us. in suggestions of deathless loveliness, beings who answer to the highest conceptions that man can form of beauty, of tenderness, of purity and of nobleness. In the magic mirror of the poet's imagination are fix ed to permanence the images of the fairest and dearest of God feminine creatures. He who, professing a high ideal of womanhood can yet never Gnd an ideal love, may in imagination be wedded to Imogen or Di Vernon. The greatest poet, who "wears the crown of the world." Shakspeare. is the greatest creator of ideal women. The trite ideal is always based upon the real; and Shakspeare's women are so ideal be cause his idea is always based upon liv ing types ol abstract truth. His women are what they are. because womanhood is, at its best, what it is. Imogen. Des deraona, Rosalind, Portia are loftiest creatures, ami yet are all possible wo men.

J he large and lovely constella- tion of sweet, good women shines majestically before our enraptured vis ions, stirs our ceaseless gratitude and awakens our wondering admiration.

The experience of telegraph operators, inspectors, and linemen brings them in to close acquaintance with all sorts and conditions of faults in connection with their work; the variety of these faults is wonderful, mauy stranger than fiction. One of the most curious in connection with telephony which we have ever known has just happened within the last few days at a place called Moss Bay. The lineman's attention was called to the circuit in question as hear ing was difficult; on listening at the telephone he heard a "sort of Dooming which came ou intermittently, very much resembling the distant roll of the tide, and which rendered speaking and transmission of work almost impractica ble." Having satisfied himself by the usual methods that the instrument was right and the line free from induction, and that it was not picking up vibra tions, the conclusion was arrived at that the fault must be iu the general otlice, at Moss Bay. An examination of the telephone apparatus disclosed a novelty. A huze bee was inside the telephone, and.ln trying to make good its escape, it had become fixed between the souuding bourd and the microphone, and it bad hummed to the extent of in terfering with the human organs of the circuit. How the bee came there the linemau cannot say, whether by acci dent or design he knows not. Hut the bee was the cause of the fault. In con cluding his report the lineman candid ly states: "I have met some very tedi ous and techuieal faults iu various tele phone apparatus, but I never was done with a bee before." Mechanical World. Homing Instinct of Dog.

C, 1 was at a loss to know what to do with a fine setter dog that hail been presented to me and one I prized highly. 1 was anxious to leave him in the hands of some friend who would appreciate his many qualities, so taking liim to Smith's Wuarf, on the Rappahannock river, ten miles from my home, I put him on board the steamer with card aud address to a gentleman in Fredericks burg. The dog was duly delivered, as they told me when the steamer passed on her return trip.

Scipio was brought to me a puppy, ami was then two years old, never having been off the farm except when taken to the steamer by myself. I afterward took him up the Potomac with me, and presented him to General Fitzhugh Lee, our present Governor of irginia.
