PLAY A NECESSARY
adjunct to:education.
There is growing up a steadily
increasing appreciation of the
value of the broader development
and the belief that age should
take an interest in the sports of
youth, that in fact age itself
should carry on certain sports
suited t'> the years, even to the
end of life. This breadth, of view
is bringing up a better race and a
happier one. Schools, which in
the old days were more or less
dreaded, are now loved by the
boys. Where m the old times the
only fun a boy hud in school was
through infraction of the rules,
there has come a new light.
A boy may enjoy his holidays
at home, but it is easy to see when
he starts back to school that, in
stead of the old horrors, he has
something of a desire to return
and meet all the various interests
of school life and school fellows
again. At first the parent is in
clined to resent this, but when ho
realizes that it means that the
boy enjoyes his school life instead
of disliking it, ho becomes recon
ciled.
How has this whole scheme
been changed'aud made over with
such desirable results? It has
come about through the wisdom
of the educators who in the last
25 years have become keenly alive
to the fact that the boy is a many
sided little animal which nature
meant should develop in all direc
tions and that to disregard his
physical for his mental side was a
serious mistake. Thus there have
grown up the big playing fields
which are now an adjunct to
every first-class school.—Walter
Camp, in The Outing Magazine j
for March.
PIPE-DREAMING.
A bachelor smoked in his den,
Where the night is changed to
day;
His troubles disperse into dreams,
And in smoke his cares inelt
away.
Smoking the pipe is forgetting—
New fancies come into his brain ; ;
t’nbidden, but shyly welcome,
Kucli phantom is wondrously
plain.
Then “Home, Sweet Home, ' is
pictured,
And stilly, down the winding j
stair,
A woman glides, and tenderly
She smiles and strokes his hair.
Starting, lie wakes trom his dream
ing.
Ami w anders awayfrom the den :
Bereft, heart-hungry and saying:
“1 think 1 shall dream there
again!” —Augusta Wall.
THE CORN-COB PIPE.
Very few smokers, comparative
ly, who have a fondness for the
real American pipe, the corn-cob,
are aware of the fact that acres
upon acres of land in Ohio, llli
n ils, Missouri and Nebraska are
devoted exclusively to the pro
duction of coba suitable for fash
ioning into pipe bowls. The gram
produced here is. of course, mark
eted, but the cob on which this
grain grows is the real harvest and
is cut carefully into proper
lengths, smoothed and polished. ,
The most expensive article on the
market in the way of corn cob!
pipes, is a nest of six bowls, with
an amber mouth-piece mounted in
silver, which may be obtained for
the slight layout of about IT..'Kb
Corn-cob pipes now go to every
country in tin world where smok
ing is a practice. They arc espec
ially m favor in Australia and
New Zealand, where they are re
garded as characteristically Amer
ican in suggesting the idea of
Yankee ingenuity. With English
men, probably ttie greatest pipe
emokmg people on the globe, it is
different, however, for the briar
pipe ranks highest in their estima
tion. j
