HOW CHINESE SMOKE PIPES. When they cannot obtain a pipe, the African savage digs a hole, beats down the earth around it, inserts a hollow reed, and lies down to suck in the smoke from tobacco, with which he has filled the improvised bowl. The poor Chinese bores two holes in a section of bamboo and makes the simplest of portable pipes. Eskimos split a willow twig in two, dig out the pith, tie the halves together again and scratch a small bowl at one end. So perhaps next time we fill up our simple, well-balanced briar with Edgeworth tobacco taken from a vacuum sealed tin, we will appreciate the ease of obtaining our smoking all the more. All we need do is walk into a tobacconist’s and say, “ Edgeworth ReadyRubbed, please.” or if you prefer. "Edgeworth Plug Slice,” and you tinkle a 2s piece over the counter in exchange.— Advt.
