This article expalins how to make paper pipes, which are made in two pieces, and attributed to a M. Bebe, a schoolteacher from Chalon-sur-Saone. The stem of the pipe is a rolled allumette or spill, the bowl a paper cone, the bottom of which has been crushed so that it will fit inside the stem. The tobacco is made from brown wool. The illustration also shows paper spills, a simple spill holder and a basic ash tray.

The same information appears in 'Travaux Recreatifs Pour les Enfants de 4 a 10 Ans' by Marie Koenig, which was published by Librairie Hachette et Cie in Paris in 1898.

My grateful thanks for Michel Grand for drawing this article to my attention.
