in a little town where there
weren't many cases?but where there
were always more cases than collections.
This fine young practitioner had
one troublesome patient?an old woman
who was practically on the free
list, but who registered more kicks,
than all the other patients put together.
One day she called to roast him for
not showing up when she called him
the night before.
"You can go to see your other patients
at night," she howled, "so why
can't you come when I send for you?
Ain't my money as good as the money

"I don't know, ma'am." answered the
doctor, gently. "I have never seen any

HOME OF THE MEERSCHAUM.
Originally From Asiatic Turkey and la
Supposed to be Petrified 8ea Foam.
Eski Schier, Asiatic Turkey?Tou
cannot travel by night on the Bagdad
railway. Every evening the train stops
to wait for the morrow's sun, and you
must go to a hotel to eat and sleep.
Not at all a bad idea if you have plenty
of time. And you do have time in
Turkey, or at least feel that you have,
otherwise you would not stay there
very long. I was in no hurry when I
set my face toward the east. So when
the train on the first night out rrom
Constantinople rested at Eski Schler 1
decided to stop for a day or two.
But Eskt Schier has one unique claim
upon your Interest, and if you are a
smoker the claim is a compelling one.
It is the home of the meerschaum
Meerschaum in abundance is found only
on the plain of Eski Schier, and this
city produces all the marketable meerschaum
in the world.
Meerschaum, as the name implies, is
supposed to be petrified sea foam, and
has been discovered floating on the
Black Sea. ABlde from the Eekt Schier
mines, it occurs in Greece, Samos,
Spain, Moravia, Utah, Pennsylvania,
(at Nottingham, In Chester county),
and in conjunction with serpentine, in
Norway and South Carolina. The ancients
are said to have used it for decorative
stone in buildings, and this
seems to have been confirmed by the
recent excavations in Corfu. It is soft
and whitish and becomes malleable like
clay when soaked in water.

mere curiosity by the Turks, who had
no other use for It than as a substitute
for fuller's soap. The story runs that
the Turkish ambassador at the Austrian
court, back In the eighteenth century,
was a native of Eskl Schler.
Wanting to help his city at a time of
great poverty he took samples of this
queer stuff to Vienna, thinking that the
Franks, as all foreigners were then
called, might have some use for It.
The Germans were quick to see Its
utility for pipe bowls, but declared
that It was good for nothing else. More
than a century has confirmed this
Judgment, for who has discovered any
other use for meerschaum? For pipe
making it Is the ideal raw material.
Here is a stone which is easily moulded
when wet and when dry becomes
hard and resists fire.
At first meerschaum was used only
by certain Viennese and Bavarian
firms. To them it was merely a good
raw material, whose merit was in the
ease of manufacture for the fancy
pipes to which Germans have always
been addicted, rather than in any intrinsic
superiority of the manufactured
article. In time men began to enjoy
the fun of coloring a meerschaum bowl,
and tourists spread this report among
the elite of all nations. After its introduction
to American smokers the
meerschaum rapidly became the aristocrat
of plpeB. Prices went up accordingly,
and the mining and export of
meerschaum became a boom for Eski
Schler.
In the early days of meerschaum mining
Sultan Selim III. gave an imperial
firman to the inhabitants of Eski
Schier and its neighboring villages,
granting to them for all time the exclusive
privilege of mining the mineral.
Ever since then a large portion of the
population has been engaged in the
meerschaum industry. The mines, fifteen
miles .from the city, have always
been worked Turkish fashion, without
q nv ouotom who favor
There Is no possibility of a "trust"
or even of the introduction of modern
methods of mining. Each man Is for
himself. None has any capital. The
prospecting and mining go on over an
increasingly large area, and I am told
that about 5,000 shafts have been sunk,
most of them branching out into innumerable
horizontal galleries at different
levels. The shoring is so crude that I
did not care to risk going down. That
from the collapsing of galleries and the
frequency of poisonous and explosive
gases, meerschaum mining exacts every
year its toil of human life. Safety
lamps are unknown.
Meerschaum is found in lumps of
rather small size, ranging from a man's
fist to four time a man's fist. (That is
how they measure it, for centimeters
and Inches, plain, square or cubic, are
unknown to the miners.) There is still
much dirt clinging to the lumps when
they are brought to town on donkey
back.
The miners sell to local merchants,
who are mostly the third or fourth
generation in the business. The merchant
must estimate the value in its
rough form, and, in spite of inherited
skill and knowledge, he finds his buying
somewhat a lottery. For there are
twelve distinct qualities of meerschaum
and the lowest is worth only one-sixth
the price of the highest. The quality
is determined by specific gravity, color,
and, to a more limited extent than
with precious stones, by its size. The
rougn ouier surrace is scrapea on wun
a knife. Then the meerschaum, still
damp and safe, Is set out to dry. When
It becomes hard It receives a second
scraping and is rounded off. The finishing
operation is to polish it with
wax. The better grades are snow
white and take a very high polish. The
poorer grades, even when dry, are so
soft that they can easily be indented
with the finger nails.
Thus prepared for market, the lumps
are separated into bins according to
quality. Once a year they are packed
for shipping, with cotton, in boxes
which look like orange crates. On first
sight one would think he was looking
at ostrich eggs. The whole output of
Eski Schier is shipped to Trieste, and
the merchants go to Vienna to sell
their goods. This is the sole-market.
The Turkish government gets no revenue
from the mines, but charges a
fixed export duty per case. The duty
used to be on the ad valorem basis until
the Turkish authorities discovered
the suspicious fact that while the higher
grades seemed never to be exported,
they were always plentiful on the Austrian
market. , The total annual sales
In Vienna amount In 1912, to about
$600,000, of which more than half was
purchased by American firms.
In order to protect the Rood name of
meerschaum the Turks absolutely forbid
the sale or export of scrapings. As
far as I can find out this law is observed.
At Eski Schier the waste is
thrown out. But in Europe and America,
when the raw material undergoes
further treatment and is being manufactured
into pipe bowls and cigarette
holders, the scrapings are sold. These
scrapings are actually listed In Vienna
at two francs the kilogram. Unscrupulous
manufacturers by simply wetting
and kneading together these scrapings
produce worthless meerschaum.
But there is worse than that to tell.
Plaster of parts, or plaster of parts
mixed with a potato preparation and
skillfully treated with stearine Is the
secret of the great meerschaum "bargains"
one sometimes sees in America.
But I do not want to make you feel
uneasy when you glance at the meerschaum
pipe on your desk. And we are
getting pretty far away from Eskl
Schier.?Denver Republican.
LOST IN THE CROWDS
Not So Bad as Being Lost Out of the
Crowd.
It is a familiar sensation, that of
otyiM-tar nr n cninst SO manV.
It is hard to walk In a thronged street
and escape it The railway train,
filled with people going to divided
duties, to various destinations and destinies;
the tense, impatient "bleachers"
at a baseball game; the congregation
seated in a church, the audience
at a play?all these suggest
our infinite personal inconsequence.
Where is there room on earth for the
homes and the labors of so many?
How can they all extract a living?
Why should it make any difference
who breaks a leg or a neck, when
there are so many able-bodied substitutes
constantly pressing forward?
The ferry-boat, the excursion steamer,
the trolly car of homeward returning
tollers, the esplanade of loiterers
and merrymakers, all promote the
reflection that there are "multitudes,
in the valley of decision," and our
own little personal unit seems as
small as these minute sub-divisions
into which the philosophy of
chemistry is cutting up the atom.
Why were we brought on earth to be
so insignificant? If we should fall by
the wavside. who would notice? Who
cares If we live or die, if we are lost
or found, if we breathe or stifle, if we
suffer or rejoice?
The emphatic difference between
barbarism and civilization is that between
the callouB neglect and the
tender nurture of the individual.
Kings of Ashantee or Dahomey, chiefs
of aboriginal America, princes and
satraps of the era of Ghengis Kahn,
cared nothing for one little life sniffed
out, one voice forever silenced, one
body bleaching on the plains, prey of
the vulture or the carrion crow. They
gTlmly took the side of the inexorable
law of the survival of the Attest;
their gross and brutal justice knew no
tempering of mercy; choosers of the
slain, they gave the word and the
blood ran in lone frontier settlements
or in the city's streets, and households
were left desolate. All for what?
That the terror of a name might
spread, and a quickening fear might
run before them to prepare the way
of conquest and revenge. Under the
blinding brightness of a throne, who
was the individual man?to say noth
ing of a woman or a child still recent
humaner enlightened centuries?
We think the golden age was when
Augustus ruled, and Virgil smote his
sounding lyre?but we are only now
emerging into the unclouded day of
an age when each of us shall be all
that was meant to be, and have his
own fair chance, and receive his share,
and live his own life in the pure air
of innocent freedom.
In Matthew Arnold's great poem,
"Rugby Chapel," it is told where and
what was the secret of the power of
the life of the poet's father, "Arnold
of Rugby." The meaning of that life
of a man among boys was that he did
not care merely for the working out
of his own salvation, the earning of
his selfish personal passage to Paradise.
He did not care to voyage

bring his whole flock with him. That
should be true it seems, of any
worthy shepherd of the sheep, of
any faithful curacy of human souls.
It must be true of any reasonable and
conscientious ruler devoutly considerate
of his duty to all the people. What
touched the heart of Lincoln when he
faced a crowd was not his own exaltation,
but their need. The sense of the
popular dependence on him all but
overwhelmed him. He was great because
he divined their thoughts, interpreted
their wishes, studied their
minds, and made their hopes and fears
his own. In the lesser republics of
any school room there is the ever
present problem of individualizing the
pupil?singling out the unit from the
group, and giving to the particular
need of one while bearing in mind the
good of the greater number. The
ninety and nine may be known for
the cheerful, normal, obvious lot they
are?but the hundredth one may be a
tortured wanderer, alone, "the sun
gone down," and the whole sweep of
the sky one impenetrable blackness.
What is even worse than being lost in
the crowd, he is lost out of the crowd.
They are together, in the light, the
warmth, the comfort; his portion is
the starving, chilly solitude. It
must be someone's business to go forth
and look for him?and if the searcher
cannot bring the wanderer back,
he can at least destroy the wanderer's
isolation and be his link with lire
and all the world.
Often there is one whom we long
to change, to regain to the felicity
that we enjoy. We think we have
failed, because we cannot make a
convert and bring the outcast, the
pariah, the Ishmaelite and the unregenerate
to our point of view. But
is it not something to have established
the contact? Is it not something
to be the vital link between belief and
disbelief, between probity and Iniquity,
between light and darkness, life
and death? Who knows what the
mere handclasp across the abyss between
a soul and a soul may not mean?
You do not need to bring another
wholly to your own way of thinking
to do him good, as John Wesley realized
when he nobly wrote of the true
catholic spirit. It is our business in
this crowded world not to mourn because
there are so many of us, but
rather to rejoice in the circumstance.
It means that we may not have our
au'? n?ov oltvovo nn/1 tVio t rlnna na
good, as brethren and not spoiled solitary
children in the huge human
family. The more the merrier, not
the sorrier. By the mere fact of multitude
we are granted illimitable opportunity
for exercises of charity,
deeds of kindness, and continuing
thought for those who might otherwise
be lost in the crowd or out of it.

"Hoosit."?A Chicago lady had a
Swedish cook, and she heard this conversation
between her cook and the
maid next door, also a Swede:
"How are you, Hilda?"
"I well, I like my Job We got cremated

lights and a hoosit."
"What's a 'hoosit,' Hilda?"
"Oh, a bell rings. You put a thing
to your ear, and say, 'Hello,' and some

GUNS WOUND, BUT DO NOT KILL
New Rifle to be Adopted by British
Army is Most Humane Weapon.
The British army Is shortly to be j
equipped with a new type of rifle, pos- J
sessing a considerably longer barrel
than the present mode and a slightly I
decreased bore. With this weapon It
will be possible to discharge a bullet
with very high velocity and penetrating
power.
Ninety-nine people out of a hundred 1
will Jump to the conclusion that this j
Tvonnnn has heen designed in order to
Increase the wholesale slaughter and
carnage that Is generally supposed to
be the Inevitable outcome of modern
warfare. As a matter of fact, this Is
quite a mistaken idea.
Modern weapons of war are rapidly
developing Into very humane Instruments
as compared with those of a
few years a#o. This tendency Is not
due to any humanitarian reasons, but
solely because It Is not policy to create
wholesale slaughter in present-day
warfare.
Experts have discovered thr.t io
wound an enemy is far better than
killing him. A number of wounded
soldiers entails responsibility on the
side that they represent, which Is a
severe handicap In a strenuous war
campaign. Ambulance corps and field
hospitals have to be maintained, and
In big campaigns where casualties are
large, the burden of taking care of the
wounded la no small matter.
That Is one great reason why modern
weapons tend to put a man temporarily
out of action and not to kill
him. The terrific speed of a bullet
discharged from the modem highpower
rlfie sends it, in nine cases out
of ten, right through a man. It puts
him out, but seldom kills him.
The wounds made by high-speed
bullets, though severe, heal very rap- ?
idly. What is more, the modern bullet
seldom poisons a wound, as was the '
case with the old type of shot.
Owing to the heat developed by the
high-power used In the discharge, the I
bullet is rendered sterile or antiseptic,
and very seldom causes complications
by blood poisoning. A proof that this
is the case is supplied by the recent
Balkan War.
A doctor who attended the wounded
Turks stated that out of nearly 700
wounded soldiers only two needed serious
operations for their hurts, twen- a
ty only required plaster bandages,
while the remainder healed their *
wounds in two weeks, largely by
means of the first-aid packets, which 1
formed part of their kit "
Recent wars have also shown that
wholesale carnage is most undesirable |
as regards the disposal of the dead. In J
a strenuous compalgn there is little
time to spare to inter those who have
fallen, and the victorious side often has
many bodies of the enemy to dispose
of. Cemeteries cannot be placed any- |
where, as they must be well clear of c
towns or rivers, from a sanitary point
of view. t
In the Russo-Japanese war the Japanese
were so handicapped by their ^
own dead and those of the Russians V
left behind, that eventually they em- 41
ployed vehicles fitted up as cremator- ^
iums which traveled about with the
army. By this means the serious problem
of disposing of corpses was to a
large extent solved by cremating them.
This tendency to disable rather than
to kill is to be found in several dlrec- _
tions.
The shell which most people consider
a weapon of terrific death-dealing
properties, really wounds more often j.
than kills. This type of shot In the first f
place is meant to demolish fortlflca- f
tions, entrenchments and houses. It
certainly may kill while carrying out J
this mission, but more often Its flying a
pieces cause flesh wounds, serious but ^
not fatal.
In the same way airship bombs and ?
shells, though at flrst sight serious, 8
death-dealing factors, will prove useful j
more for wrecking property than taking
human life.
To start with, aerial craft engaged 1
in dropping bombs will have to stay at J
a high altitude to elude the sharpshooters
on earth. Thus a falling bomb 1
from a great height will not be difficult
to avoid. Its fall will be gauged
with more or less accuracy, certainly
with sufficient correctness to enable
those underneath to run clear of the ?
spot it is falling toward. All things v
considered, modern warfare is tending
to become far less an affair entailing d
wholesale slaughter?not because we *
are becoming more humane, but merely
because recent conflicts have proved
it is |>olicy to wound and not to kill.?
