So1therr Girls Who Make Believe that
They Use Tho Tettilating Narcotic.
A High School girl in West End
car, yesterday afternoon, took q fiat
oxidized silver-box from her handbag,
carefully removed the cover, pinched a
few grains of snuf-colored powder on
the pink tips of her dainty fingers. and
pushed it up her nostrils with dexter
Gus grace that confirmed snuff-taker
would have envied. Half dozen pas
sengers stared at her in amusement
She smiled placidly. brushed off her
upper lip with lace handkerchief. and
remarked to her companion:
.sOh. I've such cold"
s.So've /, was the meek response.
on came the cover again, the silver
box was passed over as man hands
out . paper Of tobacco and another
pinch Of the brown powder vanished
up another charming little nose. Both
girls sneezed once, very mildly, and
got off the car.
A fashionable ;eweler said: 1--WE have
frequent calls for snuff boxes, silver
and gold ones, from young men as well
as young women. 1t is simply what
you might call . notion can't say
whether anything is put in the boxes,
but I do know that young people buy
them and carry them"
A druggist said: ''Oh, no; it wasn't
snuff. The girls have an idea that it is
fashionable to carry those boxes. and
naturally enough they want something
to put in them. Genuine fermented to-
bacco SNUFF would make them sick.

In Great Britain.
The conservatism of our country
folk, in the matter of medicine, COM
prises, it may be said, almost all their
conservatism They are beginning to
regard ghosts and bogles as stuff and
nonsense; they have learned to be
moderate in their estimation of the
Londoner, regarding him as neither a
very marvellous nor very terrible be-
ing; they have forgotten their old Gus
toms to very great extent. and their
old songs entirely; but to wonderful
extent they believe in the efficacy Of the
remedies handed down almost I'M
changed from the days when the monks
were the sole depoSitaries of medical
and surgical knowledge. Our simple
gatherer is, therefore, a sort of doctor
in his way. He believes firmly that
apoplexy, paralysis. gout, and rheu-
matism are to be alleviated by use of
walI-fiowers; that the canterbury bell
or throat wort is good for swell ngs or
infiammations of the throat; that golden
rod stops blood-dow; that Jesuit's bark
cures ague; that the golden water,
made from lilies of the valley, is good
to strengthen the limbs of children;
that red valerian, peony and columbine
are invaluable-peony in especial has

DAIRY PRODUCTS.

The Selling OF These on Time Very
Unwlse Proceeding For the Producer.
|. Farmers are wont to complain Of
small profits when they get the full
market price of their products in hand.
But very unwise custom prevails in
many dairy districts Of selling butter
and cheese ON time, or Of selling
through commission houses. and the
latter is 3 still more vicious prac-
tee than time sales ut stipulated
price. Why should farmers furnish
these middlemen with capital to do
business on gratuitouslyp It is the
merest pretense that there is
not capital enough to handle
these goods for cash. The grain
crop is not purchased on credit or
sold for farmers on commission, nor is
the great commerce in live stock car
ried on in this way.
Every season brings reports Of dis
tress among dairy farmers in certa n
districts by the failure of commission
men. It is the fault of farmers that
there arc 50 few middlemen of any safe
capital to do business on. The ease
Of obtaining consignments has
led hundreds of men without
capital to set up rs commission mer-
chants. These merchants have MOTH
ing to lose. and they seem to enjoy
handling the capital intrusted to them
BY these confiding farmers. and We ON
the top shelf till the difference between
their real income and their expendi-
lures brings them to the inevitable
failure, involving hundreds of dairy
farmers in the loss of . large share Of
the years product Of their herds. All
sorts q excuses are made for the un-
fortunate commission merchant, who
has lost nothing Of his own except the
unmeritod confidence Of the dcluded
,dairymen. But. astonishing as it may
seem. these dairymen go right ON the
next year. and furnish capital for some
other adventurer to repeat the game.
Occasionally shrewd and economical
business man uses this capital intr,lst-
ed to him fairly. and thus succeeds in
establishing . safe business, and build
ing mp safe capital. But this result
