One of the queerest survivals in this regard is the long pipe which la still employed In the rural districts of both republics. It Is made from' a shrub or a sapling which grows somewhat like the elder. The bush Is cut down and the pith extracted from the stem, which is afterward peeled, polished, dried and painted with primary colors in barbaric style. Tbe simplest form Is a straight stem from three to six feet In length. A more expensive kind Is made from a stem with two terminal branches. This demands much more care In extracting tbe pith, and enables the owner to offer a friend a mouthpiece on one branch while he Is enjoying and other upon a second. sticks are also made, and, very rarely, ones. These are kept as curios rather than as useful articles, and are supposed to have been employed upon especial occasions In the days of the Incas. Tbe bowl Is of red mouthpiece may be of bone, or horn or decorated sliver and amber. The length of tbe stem causes the tobacco moke to cool appreciably In Its passage from the bowl to the lips, and gives a taste almost as mild as that produced by tbe oriental nargll. The tobacco used with it Is of rich red brown color, about intermediate in flavor and appearance between Virginia and Havana leaf. These pipes make very pretty ornaments for a mantel or for a wall, being much more pleasing to the eye than the "church warden" familiar to all smokers.
