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

WESTERN
WAR ON
ROADS TO
TRAMPS.
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

"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.

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

him for Kansas City. Lake watt a lit

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

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

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

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

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

that was the last of him. He was

YALE GERMAN CLUB,
The undergraduate German club oc
cupies a unique position among the
more Informal literary societies at Yale.
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
president Is B. R. C. Low, 1902 and the
secretary A. M. Collins, 1903.
tual friends why Governor Tllden and
Governor Dorshelmer were such close
friends. 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
