Snuff and Good Humor.
Interesting notes on the snuff tak
ing habit are furnished by the German
authorities of the district known as
the Bavarian forest. The men there
consume on an average of half a pound
of snuff per day, the tobacco being
mixed with ground glass "to sting
better." The pedple in this district
are much given to violence and at
tacks with the knife are of daily oc
currence. For years the prison au
thorities experenced great dfficul
ties with their charges on account of
their uniform obstinacy and fifl&lly hit
upon the plan of depriving them of
snuff. They say that after awhile a
great change for the better was no
ticeable, the men becoming tractable
and sensible of their degrading ijihu
manit y . ? Know ledge.

AN INTERRUPTED MESSAGE.
Convernatlon Over the Wire Waa I?
te-reiitiiijt, Hat Wan Suddenly
Broken Off.
One afternon recently two young
women entered a drug store where a
telephone pay station is located. A
solitary clerk, who was in the rear
mixing a new headache cure, came
forward. With a swish of silk petti
coats, one of the young women walked
up to him and asked if she might
telephone to Cleveland. He gave his
consent, and went back to his medica
tion. The young woman called cen
tral, and said she wished to speak
with Mr. Charles. Upton, of Cleveland,
relates the Detroit Free Press.
"It costs 90 cents to telephone
there just for three minutes," she said
to her companion while waiting for
an answer. "But T can say all I want
t6 in that time, and, cost or no cost,
I've simply got to ask Charlie to-day
if he'll come to the valentine
party. I don't dare to risk a letter for
fear that spiteful little Miss Simpson
will get in ahead of me. I heard she
was planning to write and invite him.
Before I ask him, thouph, I'm going
to have a little fun. People say I'm
good at disguising my voice, especially
over the telephone. I'll wager any
thing1 he won't know me."
In a few minutes the bell tinkled.
Mr. Upton was at the other end of
the line.
"Hello!"
"Is that you. Charlie?"
"Guess who this is?"
"You can't?"
"Oh, yes you can."
"Well*, try."
"Oh! just guess."
"Please."
"Agnes Simpson! No. indeed!" (As
suming her ordinary tone). "What
made you think it was Miss Simpson,
I'd like to know?
"You can't think of any one else?
Well, it seems very strange you can't ,
recognize my voice." (Special stress
on "my.").
"No.
"Well, can't you tell me who you
think is?
"Yes ? but you thought quite wrong."
A similar conversation was pro
longed for some little time. The clerk,
in his secluded corner, began to be
quite amused. He looked at the clock.
Then he went forward again.
"Pardon me, lady," he said, "but
your bill is already $2.40. I thought,
perhaps you ? "
"Oh-h!" almost shrieked the young
woman as she hur.g up the receiver
with a bang. "Two ? dollars ? and ?
forty ? cents! Why,- it doesn't seem
more than a minute, and T never asked
him what I wanted to or anything!
Come on," turning to her friend.
And as she went pouting out of the
store she was heard to say:
"Well, T don't care. He was just as
mean as he could be not to know my
voice at once. I almost believe he didn't
want to. He can stay away from the
party so far as I am concerned. Miss
Simpson s welcome to him."
CARE OF CUT GLASS.
How It H*j- He Handled unci Thor
nuKilily CI ell n (Ml Without
ChliipiiiK It
A housekeeper whose table furnish
ings are always beautifully clear and
shining- as if new, gives the following'
hints for the care of eut glasses, espe
cially of such pieces as are too valua
ble to be washed haphazard with "the
other tableware.
Use only tepid water and the purest
castile or other good soap for the
cleansing and rinsing of such articles
and manipulate a small, s.tiff brush
during the washing in order to get
every particle of dust out of the cut
ting.
Then submerge the piece in boxwood
sawdust and allow it to remain some
little time so that the sawdust shall
absorb the moisture and clear the
glass. The softest of clean cloth with
out any nap about it. should be used for
the final wiping and polishing.
Common white potato pee, lingsshould
be used for cleansing the bottom of
carafes, decanters and vases. The
shot, frequently employed for this pur
pose is apt to scratch the glass and
lieave marks that show from the out
side, says the St. Louis Republic.
The potato peelings should be left
in the articles over night or for sev
eral hours and then be washed out
with tepid water.
Experience shows that the short life
of many articles of rich glassware is
due to the abrupt changes of tempera
ture to which they are commonly sub
jected.
A tray or dish that has been used for
ice cream sherbet, or any very cold
substance, if plunged into hot water,
is almost sure to crack.
Likewise a pitcher or tumbler which
has been filled with ice water if put
suddenly into hot water or placed too
near a lire or hot stove, will show the
effects. There is no risk of breakage
where tepid water is used for cleans
ing
A piece of cut glnss should never be
taken from a china closet or closed
cabinet where it has been in a pro
tected atmosphere free from drafts
and put immediately in cowtact with a
marble table .top or other cold sub
stance.
If the carafe and tumblers to be used
for iced drinks be put into moderately
cool water for a time before they are
used their safety is insured.
Something of the same forethought
must be taken in guarding cut glass
objects from, harm as is practiced with
a deliica>te child or a pet animal. Under
ordinary rough handling the glass will
lose its luster and crack or chip.
But with a few precautions regu
larly observed there in no reason why
a piece of .cut glass should not be pre
served intact and brilliant for genera
tions.

"How beautifully he plays."
"Doesn't he? So much soul."
"Oh, yes, and no much expression.
Wonderful. They say his technique
is grand,", commented the fair audi
tors, relates the New York Times.
"So I understand. I love to lis-,
ten to him, don't you?"
"Oh, yes. J could listen to him
for hours. Hy the way, what is that
he Is playing?"
" "Let's see; why, that's ? oh, for
the life of me I can't remember."
"Nor I."
"Oh, well, it doesn't make any dif
ference."
"Not a bit; everything he plays is
bo exquisitely done. They say he
could play before he could talk
plain."
"Oh, yes; a genius."
"Well, he ah owe it."
"Doesn't he? Wonderful."
"Isn't it? 1 love to hear him. Don't
you?"
"I never get tired of it. Hello,
there's Mrs. Chillton."
"Yes; pretty gown, don't you
think?"
"Rather. Have you seen the dis
play at Pusher's?"
"Yes. Grand, isn't it?"
"Wonderful. Horn in him."
"Oh, yes; Pusher is certainly a
genius. He looks at our shape, and
then?"
"I know. Simply grand. Put his
prices! "
"1 don't care. It's worth it. Hello,
who's that?"
"Don't you know?"
"Oh, yes, surely. How she has
changed. Why, she looks ten years
younger."
"Well, you know, that's the way
divorce affects some people."
"Ha! Ha! Of course. Beautiful hat,
isn't it?"
"Exquisite. One of Miss Trimmer's."
"Oh, yes. Thought I recognized her
style. She's a grand milliner."
"Wonderful. Born in her."
"Yes. Perfect genius. Dear me, he
is going to stop."
"So he is. I could listen to him for
hours; couldn't you?"
"Yes, indeed. What is the matter!"
"Look at him. He's angry, Why,
he says the talking has disturbed
him."
"Now, isn't that a shame! Of
course he won't play again."
"Of course not. I don't blame him
at all. Some people are always dis
1 turbing a line player like that with
their rude conversation."
"Yes, that is so."
TOO MUCH TRAINING.
Children Should Be Tanvht Proper
Behavior, But Mot Vanned
About Manner*.
There is such a thing as too much
teaching- and training, but mothers
cannot afford to overlook certain im
portant, indeed absolutely, essential
points in the bringing up of children.
There should be a careful and constant
surveilance \\ i.en it comes to good man
ners and breeding and any neglect in
this direction is injustice to tiie child.
Teach the little boys to be chivalrous,
which is really only regurd and kind
ness after all, and make them realize
that it is below their dignity as young
men to push themselves forward and
overcrowd girls and women of any age
or condition in any place, says a writer
in American Queen.
Teach them to raise their hats; to
sit up and not lie down in their seats;
to express appreciation for kindness
done them, and always to excuse them
selves for unconscious or accidental
neglect of their "manners." Show
them the vulgarity of attending to any
part of their toilet in public places.
Make them realize that bad manners
are an indication, not only of lack of
training, but of their own ambition
to be gentlemen. And above all things
teach both girls and boys considera
tion for infirmity, and show them the
great uukinduess in laughing and jest
ing at the expense of some unfortunate
or afflicted person.
1 do not mean to crowd their minds
with set rules for every act of their
lives, but to develop their sensibilities
and sympathies and understanding so
that their good behavior will be a spon
taneous expression. Any other method
invariably fails for character and real
culture cannot be simulated. Tell the
little girls that "lady" means a loaf
giver and therefore implies nobility of
heart, and that line clothes or beautiful
homes can never make up for not being
a true lady.
The work is really very simple after
all and requires only timely and con
vincing suggestions that will be ap
preciated by the child when constant
preaching and nagging would fail. Of
all things, avoid this last method ?
nagging ? for it is not only irritating
to any child, but it is also disastrous
to the right development- of young
minds.

Grace George's engagement in
"Pretty Peggy " continues to be one
of the most successful on Broadway,
the young actress attracting large
audiences to the Herald Square
Theatre. Miss George, who did
charming work in "Her Majesty" and
"Under Southern Skies," quite sur
passes herself in the present produc
tion, giving to the role of Peg Woffing
ton an insouisance and naivete im
possible to an actress of more mature
years. Sh? presents a charming pic
ture as she appears, her radiant girlish
beauty enhanced by some of the most
tasteful gowns as yet seen on the New
York stage. "Pretty Peggy" is an
absorbing drama of the life of Peg
Woffington and David Garrick. It is
full of color and action and contains
almost as many laughs and tears as it
appeals to the optic sense.

For 40 years I have seen crows in
winter in different parts of the conn
try, passing to and fro between their
rookeries and their feeding- grounds,
and I have never seen anything' like
leadership among them, writes .Ti hn
Burroughs, in Atlantic. They leave
their roosting places at daybreak
and disperse north and south or east
and w est to their feeding grounds, go
ing in loose straggling bands, and si
lently, except in early spring, and
tbey return at night in the same way,
lying low if it is stormy and windy,
ind high if it is calm, rising up or
sheering off if the\ see a gunner or
other suspicious object, but making no
sound, uttering no signal notes. They
all have eyes equally harp; and do not
need to be warned. They are all on the
alert. When feeding they do post
a sentry, and he caws when danger ap
proaches, and takes to wing. They
do not dart into bush when pursued by
a king bird or a purple martin; they
are not afraid of a hawk; they cu.n.not
count mx. though such traditions ex
ist (Silver Spot could count HO!) they
do not caw when you stand under-them
in winter to turn their course, they do
not drill their young, they do not flock
together in. June; they cannot worry
a fox into giving up half his dinner;
?they do not, so rar as we know, have
perpetual sentries: they have no calls
that, so far as we know, answer to our
words "Mount," "Bunch," "Scatter,"
"Descend," "Form Line," "Forage"?
on these and other points my observa
tions differ radically from Mr. Thomp
Bon-Seton's.

"An old Irishman was overcome with
admiration because I made his wife
look so well for the funeral," said the
undertaker. "She discolored rapidly
after her death, but I took all the
discoloration out of her face in pre
paring her for burial. About two
weeks after the funeral Pat blew into
my office. He had been in a row, and
his eyes were as black as the ace of
spades.
" 'I've come in to have you fix up my
face,' he said. I told him I was no
doctor, but he insisted that 1 had done
so well with his wife that I could sure
ty take the discoloration out of his
face, and it was not until I told him
that he would need to be embalmed
first that he ceased teasing me to make
him look better." ? N. Y. Times.

ORGANIZED LABOR.
The Shenandoah Central Trades
Union and Labor Assemblv has been
reorganized. It inoludes all the union
men of Shenandoah, William Penn,
Loss Cree, Colorado, Yatesville, and
Ellangowan, in the Shenandoah Val
ley representing 30.000 onion men.
The United Mine Workers are far in
the majority, but will co-operate with
the other classes in securing a read
justment in wages for trade unions
and try to prevent petty strikes at the
colleries in the future.
Another chapter has been added to
the investigation of the postoffice scan
dais by the Washington labor union,
which charges that for some time past
leather pouches have been obtained
by the postoffice department from
various penal institntions, where they
are made by convicts, and that these
pouches are not up to the standard
required by law. The matter will bo
referred to the second assistant post
master general. It *<-0l<Wso alleged

employes we discriminated against.
? I o
Th^^c has been formed at Philadel
phia, a new brauoh in the American
Federation of Labor. About forty of
the diggers, masons and gardeners
employed in the three divisions of the
great burial ground? North, Central
and South Laurel Hill? quit work
Thursday afternoon because three
diggers were'discharged.as they think,
without just cause. The strikers
have formed a union, and will take
out a charter, affiliate with the Fed
eration, and thus nut themselves in a
position to fight for Lw hat they term
their rights.
The union labelj^on money is the
latest proposition, Once the govern
ment adopts a law placing the union
label on money, members of organized
labor are expected to refuse to accept
money which does not bear the union
insignia. L. P. Staube, secretary of
the Allied Printing Trades' Council
of Chicago, stands sponsor for the
latest [idea. "The union label un
auestionably has a grand and lofty
mission to fullfil," said Mr. Staube,
"but its advocates must remember
that as the complete unanimity of
thought, word and action is imprac
ticable on this question, a gradual
manifestation of its beneficient in
fluence would more readily appeal to
the intelligence of its present oppo
nents. While, like the trnth, the
union label must ultimately triumph,
since it represents the true, good and
purer, its universal acceptance can
only be attained by degrees. It takes
time to educate the masses to all that
the union label signified."
The Central Labor Union, of Tren
ton, has passed resolutions condemn
ing the attitude of Senator E. C.
Hutchinson, of Mercer county, in re
fnsing to support the bills introduced
at the last session of the Legislature,
having for their object the advance
ment of organized labor. According
to the central body, "the president of
the Senate has not one redeeming
quality to recommend him to the sup
port of organized labor, ' ' and proposes
to install an active movement for his
defeat if he is nominated for re-eleo
tion in the campaign of 1904. The
resolutions name as the bills which
met with disfavor in the hands of
Senator Hutchinson the engineer's
lioense bill and the Cloclough "blow
fan" bill, which he had amended so
as to exclude his flour mill, and sever
al other measures of less importance.
Copies of the resolutions have been
sent to every labor union in the State
holding out the miller as an enemy of
organized labor.
