CHIEF C0NSV3IEIIS ABE IX XEW EAGLAXIt And the South Ilubtt Salt! to lie Spreading Considered Disgusting Uut Also Well. Xot Only Harmful ns For the fiscal year ending July 1, 1901, ' Jrevenue tax was paid on snuff consum , . ed in the United States to the extent of 18,601,000 pounds. For the fiscal year f 1800 consumption was 14,917,000. This i shows an Increase In production of 1, : .774,000 pounds. ... Some idea of what this means may De gained when it is learned that snuff comes g-enerally in one ounce packages. ; , An ounce is sufficient, used in the or clinary way, to last a snuff taker a week. In the course of a year, there- .. fore, he will use only a little over three pounds, so that the consumption of 16, 691,000 pounds annually means that there are 6,500,000 people In the United States who use tobacco in this form. Fully 75 per cent, of all the snuff ' used in the United States is sold south of Mason and Dixon's line, a fact which means to the initiated that it is , ; i used not as the average person would imagine, a a snuff for the noBtrils, but " In snuff dipping and chewing, The i ' , , other 25 per cent, of the sale is scat tered all over the country, though a large proportion of it is confined to the manufacturering districts of New Eng- v land and around the great chain of (.'..!.. lakes.' , X foature of the snuff traffic that has lately caused considerable comment la . n Its use by mill operatives in the Eastern cities and towns. In Fail River, providence, Holyoke and other points where the majority of the employes are women there has been quite an 'outcry ; against the habit of snuff chewing, Which Is denominated as both dlsgust lng and harmful. Most people, if their - attention is ever called to the use of ' rhj enuff at all, recall the dainty fop of ' past centuries with his befrllled sleeves and his extravagant yet graceful ges , V tures, so charmingly brought back to )tfe for our delectation by Richard Mansfield in "Beau Brummel." But modern snuff taking as exempli- fled In the South and among the work ra in the cotton mills is an entirely ! different matter. The ordinary man or i. woman of cleanly habits cannot regard i any feature of it but with feelings of repugnance. ; 1 There are four methods of using snuff adopted by the working women and girls in this country. They are dipping, rubbing, chewing and scouring. Dipping is practiced mostly in the Pouth, while New England and the Mid ? die States claim the greatest number of votaries of the rubbing habit, Cbew ' Ing is a custom that only the unso- ." phlstlcated and the amateur Indulge in, while scouring Is also in great vogue ' In the Eastern states. The dipping process is very simple. By means of a : piece of card or paper a pinch of snuff is taken from the can or package and dipped into the mouth, to find a lodg- Ing place between the lower lip and the ;..rum Jtare it is manipulated Into a ball and allowed to rest in its place , , vntil Its strength has been entirely ex tracted, when it is ejected. Rubbing consists of the dipping, with the addition by the manipulator of a chewing process, which helps to extract the strength and flavor from the ball . sooner than the dipping alone. Scour "K is the method most in use in these 1 lyVsiJlB, where cotton waste is easily ob ( talnable. The mill girl or woman takes i s a small quantity of the material, mois tens it slightly with oil of wlntergreen, ' ' peppermint or other flavored essence purchased at a drug store. The damp waste la then dipped into the snuff and thfe mess rubbed along the lower teeth and gums before it is rolled into a ball and allowed to rest in the usual shelter- . ed nook, between the lips and gums. In different sections of New England the choice of flavors vary. Sometimes the manufacturers use a strong flavor Ing, and then the habitual users of that particular kind are satisfied to dispense with their own essences. Spirits of cam- ' phor, oil of wintergreen and oil of pep permint are all popular, and then the flavoring Is incorporated into the mass and sold at; the same price as its con sumption Increases. ' ; The use of flavored snuff is said to be confined largely to women, as men nddiated to the habit and they are few 1 '"prefer the stronger varieties. Those who are fighting the practice In New England are strong in their condemna i tlpn of the effects of the snuff used in , this way on the health of the female ' operatives. They say that its use dulls ' 'the senses of the victim almost as com pletely as would opium or other narcot- ic, If this be true it is a cheap form of 'dissipation, for fi cents' worth of snuff Is generally enough to last for several days. , i ,, It Is stated that some of the mill girls are such slaves to the habit that it is no uncommon thing for them to sleep X, all night with a ball of Hnuff In their njouths, and in some of the New Eng land towns the druggists or tobacco 'dealers who keep full supplies on hand , aife not surprised to find, on opening , their places of business in the morning, women who have been waiting patient ly for them, perhaps for hours, In order to purchase a fresh supply. Even the cigarette and the chloral fiends are not more eager to renew their practices. That the habit is gradually finding Its way into the mills and the factories Of New York etate and into the rope ; walks and other manufacturing plants of Brooklyn and New York city, where women employes are in the majority, Is aaid to be an assured fact. Where the ! practice is not of long standing, how- ever, as it is in New Kngland and the South, the devotees have the good grace to be ashamed of the habit, and they " take their supplies uelmul closed doors. In the Eastern cities, however, a most disgusting state of affairs is said to ex ist, for there, unhampered by restric- ' tlons, the waste that Is utilized for Chewing purposes is, when rejected, al lowed to litter the floors. Cotton waste is not the only medium for the snuff enewer. Sometimes rastlle soap is roll ed. into a ball and dipped into the snuff, the mass being used as a substitute for chewing gum. In the South, while the habit is even more general than it is here, it is held th.at the brands sold are not so strong na In the East. 'mere tue ravorlte a birch stick, chew it to a pulp and then dip it into the snuff. Slippery elm Is also used in about the same way, the evident desire being to get a substitute for chewing gum that will carry a fla vor with It. So universal is snuff dip Ping In the South that no concealment of the habit is made there and "dipping parties," where, the women sit around and talk, while indulging in their fa vorite vice, are so general that com ment on them has practically ceased. - Providence, R. I., la said to have the qubious honor of being a great snuff distributing center. It disposes of some 3,000 pounds every two wetks. Fall River is not a bad second, for it gets rid of a ton of snuff monthly. Sales in Boston are enormous and the amount used Is increasing slowly. The sa'es in Manhattan and Brooklyn are not large us yet, the average amount sold by retailers being not more than three pounds weekly. But the demand is gradually increasing- There is a large sale of snuff in the Northwest, particularly among the Swedes and foreigners of other nation alities in the timber regions. At least BO per cent, of this class use black snuff, while the kind that is popular among women Is called Scotch. There are severa.1 varieties of black snuff, some of the brands being named after cities, as "Stockholm," "Goteborg," "Norrkoplng," "Kalmar," etc. These brands are all manufactured in Chicago after Swedish recipes. ' The Scotch brands that there Is most call for are "Strong Scotch," "Salt Scotch" and "Sweet Scotch," with "Maccaboy" next in favor. The people of Texas are credited with using tha strongest brands. In talking of the subject recently G. J. Smith, who Is secretary of the Amer ican Snuff company of New York, a concern which supplies the bulk of the snuff used in the country, said: "It is rather late in the day to con demn the tobacco habit or any feature of it. For 250 years the viEe of tobacco in all forms has been written and in weighed against on the platform or the pulpit, but in 250 years It has made the conquest of the world. The excessive use of tobacco In any form is bad, but so is the excessive use of anything. You can eat too much, you can drink too much. In the same way you can emoke to much or become a slave to the use of snuff. In the South snuff Is chewed bv both men and women, and I believe that It is growing in the North. All that I say about that Is that it is bet ter than chewing tobacco. The old hab it of snuffing tobacco through the nos trils, however, I regard as a dignified, harmless and even healthful practice. Snuff is a disinfectant and when used through the nostrils Is of real value. Many doctors use it in the sick room and it is becoming generally recognized as an excellent catarrh cure, for it stimulates the membranes and help to Invigorate and strengthen the nerves of the nose. "The habit of snuff-taking in the old fashioned way is on the increase. It would probably surprise you to know that of the 25,000 places, more or less, iU New York city, in which snuff is sold, there is not one where a dark coarse-grained snuff, used for snuffing alone, cannot be obtained. Where snuf fing has died out you will probably find out that it was through lack of proper distributing methods." It is an interesting fact that the old Bronx mill, In which the Lorlllards Jacob and Peter first began the manufacture of snuff and tobaccos In this part of the country In 1760, still stands in Bronx park. It is being pre served by the city and is an object of much curiosity and attention from the younger generation. Another pioneer 1n snuff making hero was George W. Helme, whose son Is president of the American Snuff com pany. The elder Mr. Helme, who died tew years ago, left an estate, it is said, valued at (8,000,000, and his fac tory at Helmetta, N. J., employed over 3,000 hands, when It was sold to the combine, which now controls it. Brook lyn Eagle. PRAIRIE FIRE CLUBS. frontier oiig.lsiza noss TEARS AGO IX THE W EST.

Tramps are to be given particular at tention by officers of western railroads during the next six months. Every season about this time there is an ex odus of the "American nobility" from points in the north and west, where they have been engaged at odd intervals in farm work, to the south and to the cit ies. When the tide of this unremune rative travel turns from the chilly dis tricts the railroad men's troubles begin. "It is one of the worst nuisances transportation people have to contend with," eadl an officer of one of the roads. ''There Is nothing particularly new about the trouble except that there appears more of an effort to rid the cars of them this season than In past years. While the railways suffer most in this way from thefts from cars, there are other obnoxious features to the evil. Those connected with rail roads do not like to see people killed, notwithstanding the popular Impres sion that the reverse is the case. We have no liability when a person steal ing a ride Is killed, but we are not en tirely devoid of sentiment and do not care to countenance human slaughter regardless of the Boeial standing of the victims." Impressive orders have just been is sued by the Great Northern railway management forbidding trainmen to allow tramps to ride on freight or any other class of trains under any circum stances. Trains on this line hereafter mupt be looked over carefully at meet ing points and important stops and all tramps put off. Investigations are being made by of ficers of this road, it Is said, Into the re ported practice of trainmen allowing tramps to ride in consideration of "boo money," fares that are not turned into the railroad's treasury. It Is eald that the Income of many conductors' and brakemen from this source often niuouiUo to Ecventy-Svc dollars a month when business Is rushing and seldom goes below twenty-five dollars a month. Little doubt is entertained that a ma jority of the robberies of goods from freight cars en route is the work of these so-called tramps, and It is to stop the stealings thnt the orders have been Issued. Not all of thoe who steal rides or pay trainmen "email money" are tramps in the popular meaning of the term, but a large percentage are persons who work a major part of their time, but. object to paying full fares merely for the "I reckon there are few people living in this part of the country who ever heard of prairie fire clubs," said a western man, the subject having been suggested by the burning of a lot of rubblh on a scow. "I doubt if such things were ever known in the east. In fact they went out of existence in the west forty years ago. "In very many sections of what you call the middle west timbered 'land of to-day was prairie fifty years ago. I have traveled a half day over one of these prairies without seeing a farm house, an Individual or a domestic an imal. The towns were few and far apart, and a census taker could have stood In one place in some of them and made up his figures. One I have in mind stood on one of the prairies which rolled out to the horizon In every direc tion, with never a tree or a shrub to break the vision. Some years later an oak was found in the grass, and that constituted town talk for several days. I remember a party going out to see it on Sunday. Yqii may get an idea from this as to how nearly isolated from the world we were. "Not far from it, while the tree was still a sapling, were a few farms. They wore not fenced. The tillers of the soil plowed deep ridges about the ground they cultivated. These were to protect their crops and houses from the encroachment of prairie fires. But there were prairie fires which no fur rows could turn. "The tires were always started In the fall after the grasses had died out. The object was to clear away the dead grasses so they would not retard the growth of spring. You have heard all your lives of certain events or things running or spreading like a prairie fire. Any man who ever saw one knows what it means, and a man who has never turned out to fight one hns no conception of the work. And the man who has never seen a prairie firs' when It was swept onward at night by high wind has missed a thrilling sight. I have read descriptions of these fires, but not one did the subject Justice. To my mind the storm at sea Is tame com pared to the storm of flame on a waste of prairie. "The few farmers near the village of which I spoke were almost sacred to the people of the village. They were the only farmers within seventy-five miles of the place. We relied upon them for our grain and many of the ne cessities of life. One night a prairie fire escaped from control and bore down upon this little cluster of farms. The attack was seen, of course, by the village. It seemed to light the earth end paint the heavens. Its roar was as distinct as the breaking of a stormy sea on a rock bound coast or thunder when it strikes the heart of a forest. "The village was watching the sweep of this fire, discussing what was best to do, when the sound of hoofs of a hard ridden horse came nearer and more distinct. In another moment It seemed like a moment as I recall it the horse came to a stand In the square. The rider was a woman. "As soon as the young woman could do so she told what we already knew, except the Information that she had been sent to the village for help, and, of course, we had surmised that when' we heard the hoofs if her horse beating a charge on the road. "In a few minutes as many ae could leave went out, some on horseback, eome In wagons. Later another posse went out. I was in the civil war, but I never saw a battle like the one we had that night with that prairie fire. It didn't last ns long aB the (Ires of lead, but It was hotter and more stub born. Of course you understand that there was no such thing as water with which to fight such a fire. It had to be thrashed and beaten back with well, with anything that would thrash or smother. I have known men having exhausted whatever they had in hand pull off their clothes and fight pralrlo fires with them until the heat burned their flesh. "It was nearly noon before we had it under control. It was the most sullen thing I ever saw. At times It seemed human. We saved the crops in the fields and the house, but what burned, scorched army we were Men's hair, whiskers and evobrows were niissivg and mta rers'in ps are some accident by the fiery contact. "Within a few days the village or ganized the Prairie Fire club, and eve ry man and woman and boy and girl became a member. A detail was made In prairie fire season whose duty it was to watch the hnizon and be prepared to ride to the relief of the farmers, The club went out a number of times, but the fires ;were always easily eub dued. The one I have described was the terror. Whenever I see a blaze my mind goes back to that night. The organization of our prairie fire club led to others in other villages, but as the country filled up they were no longer required." Chicago Inter Ocean. OPPOSED TO BALL, VALVES. An of method of women and men is to take ' privilege of riding In coaches. Old Detective Tells How One Them Figured in an -Escape. "I never had but one prisoner escape from me," said an old railroad detec tive, "and that was under very pecu liar circumstances. In 1882, when I was working for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road, I captured a fellow named Jim Lake, who was wanted for robbing freight-cars. I got him near Trinidad, Colo., and after securing the I'eHLiisiUu.i pupCi'ii bLuitd cleil w illl him for Kansas City. Lake watt a lit tle, consumptive chap, a frail as a woman, and I didn't consider It neces sary to even put the handcuffs on him. With one twist I could have broken him in two. Besides, I didn't care to cause him needless humiliation by ex hibiting' him before the other passen gers in the role of a prisoner, eo we simply sat side by side. Ilka two fellow tourists, and nobody in the cars had any idea he was under arrest. "Naturally we did a good deal of talk Ing, and at about dusk of the first even Ins: out Lake turned the conversation to curious mechanical contrivance and described several remarkable machines he had seeif. He had been a skilled engineer earlier In life, and, being a good talker, soon got me deeply Inter ested, Among other things he told me about an air-pump with a singular ball valve. 'The ball lies in a socket,' he said, 'and the greater the air pressure behind It the tighter it sticks.' To 11 lustrato, he twisted an old envelope into a cone and dropped a paper wad Into the mouth. 'Now, when I blow,' he continued, 'you'll see that the wad stays right where it Is.' Like a fool, I stared at the thing, and he blew vio lently Into the little end. At the tame inftant I felt as if a raging furnace had suddenly belched its flames right into my face. I couldn't see, I couldn't breathe; for a moment or two I couldn't even move. My throat and nostrils were on fire and I felt sure my eyes had been burned literally out of their sockets. "What had happened was simply this: The envelope was full of red pep per and I had received the charge, point blank, at about a six inch range. While I was gasping the scoundrel ran to the other end of the car. 'My friend has a fit" he shouted. 'I'm going after waterl' Of course he jumped off, and that was the last of him. He was never caught. One day shortly after a man tried to sell me a lawn sprinkler. 'It has a patent ball valve,' he fsnld. 'I don't want It,' I replied." New Or leans Times-Democrat. KNEW.

It was founded In 1900 by several mem bers of the senior class, and since that time the club has had a very success ful life. It was originally founded with the Idea In view of Interesting the men studying German in the literature of Germany, but since that time it has become more and more Informal until now it is more a society to promote good fellowship among the students of the Junior and senior classes Interest ed In Germany and the German student life. Meetings of the club are held every month, usually In the German room at Traeger's. At these meetings some dis tinguished German scholar or member of the German department of the uni versity addresses the club. German songs are sung from the "Kommers Buch" and an Informal social time Is enjoyed. Men from 1903 desiring to have their names put up for membership can do so by applying to either the president or the secretary. There is no Initiation fee and the dues are only nominal.

The Irrepressible Tom Ochil tree tolls a story In elucidation, which he naively attributes to his close friend, Henry Watterson. Here Is the story: "In the library in Ti!den's mansion, in Gramercy park, stood a marble bust, a replica by Canova's Napoleon I. It may have been the original, conie to think of It. "One day, passing the bust, with Mr. Tllden characteristically leaning on his arm and whispering into his at tentive- ear, Governor Dorshelmer stopped and admiringly exclaimed: " 'What a splendid work. A master piece! The most speaking, living mar ble I have ever eeen!' "And he looked down onl Mr. Tllden convincingly, asking: " 'Who is the sculptor?' " 'Why, that Is not me It Is Napole on!" replied Mr. Tllden, In evident pleasure and pride, adding, 'It does look like me, doesn't It?' " 'Would be taken for you every where and by everyone,' responded Mr. Dorshelmer, who knew so well how to excite the vanity of his host one of his most marked characteristics, by the way. "After that," continues the genial Thomas from Texas, "Dorshelmer stood high In Tilden's esteem." And you can easily believe one of those fa mous Johannisburghs was opened that which sold at his estate at seven-ey-flvo dollars per bottle. Colonel Ochiltree continues:' "Dor shelmer could not keep the story to himself and told it to Henry Watter son. So the next time that Watterson called on the Sage of Gramercy Park, as the papers ued then to call Mr. Tll den, he tried the same game; but It didn't work, so far as opening of the bottle was concerned, for the old gen tleman merely observed: " 'Oh, that Is a frequent mistake since made originally by Dorshelmer. I will admit thatl bpar a striking resemblance I to the great Napoleon, but anybody can recognize that bust as his.' "New York Times.
