His favo'urite pipe was, a , common clay He would take a new clay, fill al) d light it, smoke it till empty, and then, snapping the .stem and throwing the fragments aside, would fill and light a second clay. He never smoked the same pipe twice. Hijs tobacco was purest Virginian, for he insisted upon the purity of hi s weed. Therein he was wise. .Really pure tobacco i s harmless. Impure tobacco, 0.e., tobacco containing much nicotine) may, and often does prove, highly injurious. This fact is at last becoming generally reoognised.
