A Vicious Habit.

Few are aware of the extent among GER
tain classes, of the pcrnicious habit of snuff
dipping, or chewing This disgusting and
hurtful habit prevails mostly among young
ladies-tactory girls, sewing girls. and domes-
tics, and we have no doubt that those moving
in what is known ''thc higher walks of life. "
are not entirely exempt. They seek at the
druggists and elsewhere snuff of the strong
est and best quality, cause it to be pertumed
according to their taste, and then il is ready
for use. 1t is placed, not at the nose. but
between the upper lip and the upper jaw, and
there it remains a. ''Cud," forming a slim
nlant, the same a. tobacco; or it is ''rollcd as
a sweet morscl under the tongue" The la
dies generally are so clearly in their use of
the pulverized weed, that it would be difficult
to pick out a snuff taker from a snuff prohibit
ZIONIST They buy in small quantities, so as
to have the article fresh. It's estimated that
fully one thousand dollars are spent annual
~ in Augusta, by young ladies who are snuff
takers. The habit does not appear SO abhor-
rent on the first blush as it would be to have
Young ladies smoke cigars, but it is more
hurtful TO the system.
Can il be possible that the fair snuf-dip-
pcrs of Augusta furnished DR.. Garcelon in
spiration for his celebrated spruce-gum and
double-back- action temperance speech, dcliv-
cred before the temperance convention last
winter!
