Me Fred A. 1 Tambot, m the Novembtf Windsor, describes the making of a pipe; and he begir s THE ''BRIAR" by clearing up » PIPE. . popular misconcep tion about the raw material. He says: — The so called briar pipe is not made of briar at all. This may sound rather paradoxical, but nevertheless such is the case. " Briar" is a corruption of the French word bruyere, meaning heath, and the ' mis named briar is m reality the root of the heather, Thi? peculiar corruption, like many others, is solely due to the English tradesman, who, on finding the correct word bruyere somewhat difficult for the British tongue to nego iate, quickly reduced it to the more con venient " briar," and the wood has been known by that name erer since, This heather thrives m great profusion on the rocky slopes of the Tuscan Alps m j North Italy, and on the mountain side m Corsica How it came to be used for its present purpose is a curious j chapter ia economic adaptation :—The ] Swiss side of the Jura mountains was formerly the home of snuff-box making, i nattily turned from the root wood of the box tree, which, as is well known; ia extremely hard and durable. The; demand for these snuff-boxes was so j great that the box wood was exhausted, and the peasants tbrr.upon experimen ted with other woods found m the neighbourhood, so as to prevent the industry dying out from lock of i necessary material. Many root-wroJs were tried, but none were found to equal the heather m the essential characteristics. This wood, indeed, proved even more suitable for tho work than the box wood hitherto employed. A.fter a time the natives manufactured ! their pipes from the newly discovered \ heather, and these rapidly displaced the crude clay pipes which had formerly bren m vosue aroor.g ihem. When the Jura heather became oxbausttd the peasants had to ee*k p^s'urrs new m order to carry on their industry, and the Tuscan Alp* then came into prominence - boxes, however, ecoa became obsolete commoditiep, and the peasants cor-s qurnt'y devoted tln-ir whole attention to pipe-making. This diversion oE usrs w?>9 furthered by another fact The tops of the heathei had long been cut off to make brooms ; and as a consequence tho roots of the heather had been mach developed, aisd was thus undesignedly pr< p:ired to make better pipes. It is also interes » ing to know what ab Fngli^li maker says of his wckajou • —The \ ipem k«is are a very select, fuull body, ai d observe every precaution to prevent their tr»de baing lea-ned by outsider.-. They will have no apprentices, and if I introduced any boys into my factory I should have to pay them the Uniou minimum wage, which is two pounds a week. On the other hand, the work men are clever, and they earn high wages. The same authority is quoted as sayii'g that you make take it for granted that a briar pipe will l«st you as many years as it costs you shillings.'' TO THE DEAF.--A rich iady, cured of her Deafness aud noises m the head by Dr Nicholson's Artificial Ear Drums, has sent £1000 to hia Institute, so that) deaf people unable to procure the Ear Drums may have them free.

A grateful Patient gives unsolicited and I valuable testimony to the efficacy of this preat Herbal KpmHy. Read carefully and investigate for yourself. 29 Packingston et., St. KiWa. Mr S A Palmer, Vifcadatio Institute, Bjurke et. Sir,—As I consider Webbers' Great Herbal Remedy, " Vitadatio," has been the sold means of saving my life I think the least I can do ie to hand yon this testimonial, so that others suffering the same aa myself may know that there is a certain reliable care for them m " Webber's Vitadatio," if it is only given a fair trial. The simple facts of my case are as follows ;—For the past 10 years I have been under the treatment of doctors m Fitzroy and St. Kilda, as well as some of the beat m Collins street. Some were of opinion that I was suffering from consumption, whilst others stated it was pleurisy. At any rate they could give me do relief, let alone cure me. You can eaßiiy imagine that I had little hope of ever being cured. But one day I noticed an advertised cure by "Webber's Vitadatio," and the symptoms of the patient being somewhat similsr to my own, I thought ' I would give it a trial, with the result 'that much taking only two large bottles, I felt after better, and continued the medicine. By the time I had taken eight bottles I was wonderfully recovered, but one day took very ill, and vomited np a lot of slimy I matter, which was afterwards examined by j the doctor, and pronounced to be Hydatids. I continned to vomib those "Hydatida" for! some time, but at last it died away. This naturally left me weak, but I continued with the " Vitadfttio," and gradually my strength returned, until to-day I can honestly state I have never felt bettor iti the whole of my life. I consider " Webber's Vitadatio" a miracle-worker. I am well-known m Fitaroy, and there are many others just as tnnoh aetonished at my cure as I am. I shall be pleased to speak to anyone and give them my own experience of the worth of " Webber's Vitadatio." You are at perfecb | liherty to make what use ycu like of this 'eatimonial. I may add I am now able to do all my own household work ; a thing I have been unable to do for years.—Yours very gratefully, Mrs) CARRIE HOCKING Witness—G B Richardson, 19/9/93 VITADATIO IS A TRULY WONDER FUL MEDICINE.
