ShelS6imply a variety of tbe general species know as the Summer Girl, She takes the advice of the Kodak dealer that the Kodak "will perpetuate pleasure of a summer trip;" she also is ready, as the advertisement further sets forth, to set forth herself for a trip "through Europe with a Kodack; but she chief! abounds at this season in rural and seiside resorts. She is not (imply satisfied to tcucb the button and let the Kodak "do the rest." She does a great deal herself.

Nor does she conflue herself to "dry plates," though at the table, on the pic nic aud at tbe dnm bake, she can assist in reducing plates to that condition with marvelous rapidity. It is true that some of her eohemes are oovered with a very "transparent film," and a good many of her "negatives" will be taken by tbe wise and persistent young mm as affirmatives. This is-certain that In her snap shots at scenery she is willing that you ehould see her real views. And then, she really attached to what she oalh her art," which is often the' art of being agreeable when she consents to take sitters or gatherings of friends, gracefully grouped on the lawr, under the trees, or oil the rocks Bnd sands at tbe shore. She occasionally and kindly takes pic tures cf her sweet sister, tbe Summer Girl, not necessarily for publication, and, in fast, onlyjis a matter of form.

But she is Innocent, harmless though she might make misohief and bring on suits for slander, and even diroro, by snap shots of what only are mere flirts tions and all summer long derives pleasure for herself aud her friends from her Kodak.

If piece! of tobacco are allowed to get in it they harden and scratch the pipe all up. And you must keep tbe pipe wiped, too, for tbe same reason, and aiso so mac it won't always have a dirty look.

Your false bowl must be wet just a little on the inside before you first use it, and be smoked very carefully until it gets a you will have to throw it away and get another. "Plug cut tobacco is the best to use. as it is not as hot as most tine cnts and is not as likely to burn the bowl." "Isn't a meerschaum pipe ruined after it has been burned onceP" asked the writer. No. That is a mistaken idea.

II vou burn your pipe so that you find It 'won't color any more, bring it in to us and we will boil it in wax, and then you can try your luck again. All meerschaums are oouea in wax: ana when a pipe is overheated that waxy l. I. 1 1 polish on its surface disappears, and it looks dull and chalky. In making a carved pipe they cut out the desigu in the rough and boil the pipe in wax.

Then they finish the carving and boil it in wax again, and the pipe is ready for market. Now, here is a pipe in the shape pf a woman's head, witii a wreatn of flowers across the forehead. The wreath, you see, is white and ohalky, and the rest has the familiar was finish. That is because the wreath was carved after the pipe had been boiled in wax the second time; in carving the wreath the workman cut below the wax finish. When the pipe is colored the wreath will remain white, as you see it now, and the effect will be very tine." Where are most meerschaums made?" In Vienna.

Foreign pipes are lighter and more graceful than the Americau. In a hrst-ciass pipe nan ot tne value ought to be in the amber, but both meerschaum and amber are of all qualities.

For instance, one bundle of meerschaum (nay oe worm ou, wnue another the same size may be worth $500. The lighter the better is the general rule." 'Where oo you get most oi your meerschaum?" "We get most of ours from Asia Minor, where it is mined, the town of Konisti furnishing the principal supplies. Tbe Austrian merchants buy it at Smyrna. Meerschaum is also found less abundantly in Greece aud some of the Grecian islands, in Moravia ana Morocco, where it is used when fresh as a substitute for soap. A variety used as a building-stone is fouud near Madrid, and there is some meerschaum in South Carolina.

An imitation meerscnaum usea ior making pipes is made of hardened plaster of paris; treated with paralfiue and oolored by gamboge and dragon's blood. The rrench also use as a sub stitute for meerschaum a preparation made chiefly from potato. The artin-cial meerschaums can not be easily distinguished from the real, but they are usually heavier and freer from blemishes caused by the presence of foreign minerals in many genuine meerschaums.

Chairman Flnley jvill receive the following characteristic note from General Passenger Agent Charlton in the morning. "You and your association have very carefully avoided placing the Chicago Alton on a looting equal with its competitors in the decision on the harvest excursion rate question and have just as carefully taken steps to place the Chicago Alton'on a footing in equality in the territory east of the eastern boundary line of your association by aiding the eastern boycotters against us and have thus, individually and collectively become parties lo this illegal un-American boycott, we there fore find it necessary to take independent action. Having been urged bv public bodies end farmers of west to make narvest 'excursions in the Interest of western localities, we are unable to understand why du have elected to make one fare and a third, instead of one fare. We are equally unable to understand why you have accepted only two of three to be tendered by tbe Trans-Missouri association, and you have expected some points to which you have been actuated to sell those reduced rate ticketd.

For these excur sions we will make the rate one fare for the round trip from all points on our lines, and shall add to that rates ten- deredus by our connections from eur terminals to all points beyond, In con sequence of the boycott, and of in dependent and adverse action which aits it, we and it nec essary to make the excursion rates of a single fare for the round trip between our terminal points, This, as you have already been advised, will necessarily be our policy in all cases which you will take action, that it knowingly exposes us to dates on which we will run harvest excursions are August 25, September 15. and September 30. Ouly the first and lost of these dates were fixed by the assooianon. me Alton's tickets will be good to many more points than these embraced in the association, including in fact, nearly all the points in tbe west northwest and southwest. The Alton's competitors in all probability will meet and adopt rates and condi tions announced by that road, FOR BLAINE.

A special chain- ptolf the negVo ce wa man William Warner, of was ex-Congress- MiBsouri, past commander-in-chiet, and he is tonight receiving tribute of tbecolored veterans whose cause he so eloquently espoused. The matter came before the convention when Warner, as chairman of the com mittee on commander-in-cbiet, pre sented the following report: "Your committee has carefully con sidered the clear and frank statements of the commander-in-chief regarding the difficulties existing between posts in the departments of Louisiana and Misnisslpl. The committee has also con sidered all documents submitted and ar guments m.iae before it as to the causes leading to the extsMng trouble in those departments. Tle old posts from one to eight, inclusive, in the departments of Louisiana and Mississippi are com posed of white comrades.

The new posts from nine to seventeen, inclusive, are compo ei of colored com rades. The contention is that the latter posts are tainted with fraud in their or eanizatioQ." Here the report quotes ireeiy irom the oommander-ln-chlef's statement of tbe contention of th two sides and concludes: 'The remedy suggested of state de partment of concurrent jurisdiction for colored veterans involves an amend ment to tbe rules and regulations. The committee is informed that requisite "his Botice notice of the presentation of has been given and was properly before the encampment for' its action. This organization of the Grand Army of the Republic from its birth to this encampment has refrained from refusing admission to its posts any deserving comrades, however bumble, on account of nationality, creed or color. Tne only qunliflcation necessary for membership is an honora ble disaharge from the "United Stat army, navy or marine corps from '61 to '65," as evidence that be aided In maintaining honor, integrity and supremacy 0f the national government during the iate rebellion, providing, always, that ftn Afriem haa nothing in his civil life an Afrlc in has nothing in his civil life to oast a stain on his honorable record in liberty's cause.

During a tierce struggle ior the life of tbe nation, we stood shoulder to Bhoulder as comrades tried. It is too late to divide now, on the color line. The man who is good enough to stand between the nag and those who would destroy it when the fate of the nation was trembling in balance, is good enough to be a comrade in any depart ment of the urand Army or the Ke-publlo. No different rule has been, or ever shall be n-cogniztd by survivors of tbe union army and navy, JNo depart U1QUU CILIUUIU MV Vi ment should be established for any color or nationality, In opinion, your nnmmtt. fact that the departments of Mu.wnni ntn mnod of whit i-nmrndpa.

otherH of Colored comrades, is no sufficient reason for making this radical change in our rules and regulations oi our iraiernuy. onar- Ity loyalty should be witnessed by 0r wen our words. Re. ommendstions for a commander-in- chief is based upon the fact that seven of the colored posts or tne department of Louisiana and Mississippi, petitioned for a separate department, comrades representing a part of their post, ap peared before the commiltee.nlaiming in the arguments that it was their under standing and that of many otber of their colored comrades, that they were oniv petitioning ior a uenanaieut to be created in the state of Louslana, tbe same as In other states tn which all comrades, white and black, should be equally fitted for membership an further, that they, and those repre I seated by them, are apposed to the I creation of seperate departments. In view of facts subbmit'eri to your com H.la of oninion that it would inexpedient to place the authority with the oommander-in-cmer, to organ: new or provisional department states In which there are organized departments.
