In the manufacture OF snuff IN this
country the Virgins leaf tobacco is USED,
which is considerably modified by carry
ing the Fermentation much further than in
tobacco intended for smoking, and is
simply ground and sifted.
"Iu our Jersey City factory" said 6
prominent dealer to Msil and Express
reporter, owe have about sixty mills re-
seInblpg large coffee mills. The ground
tobacco falls upon an endless band OF
broad CANVAS, which CONVEYS 1t to
four sets Of mechanical sleeves.
The snuff which passes through
is received upon an endless travelling
band, which carries 1t thence into close
chest. The particles which are too coarse
to pass through the eeive are rGground.
TIE immense varieties o. snuff5 are
formed By mixing together and grinding
tobaccos of different groWths, and by
VARYING the nature Of the same.
"For the snuff knowo as Nesroco, forty
parts of genuine St.. Omer, South Ameri
can, tobacco, forty parts of Georgia and
twenty parts Of fermented Virginia
stalks in powder a.e used. The
whole is ground and sifted. Then two
are cut and mixed with powdered Viz
ginian stalks, and two and one-half
pounds Of rosewood in fine powder, moist
ened with salt water, are added. 1t Is
then worked up with one pound Of cream
of tartar, two pounds of salt of tsrtar
and four pounds Of table salt. This SNUFF,
which is highly scented, must be pre-
served In lead and brings 81 per pound
The other brsnds of snuff manufactured
here are Bolongsro, large-grained Paris
and Scotch snuff, ranging in price from
So to $40 per pound"

An Unfortunate Combination.

The latest notion in the hoodoo line is
that the mustache of a man, carried
within the bodice of O woman, will insure
good luck. Is the mustache detached
from the face on which it grew? Why. of
course Otherwise the fetish would be
easy to get and awfully improper But
to obtain mustache ali alone by itself is
mighty hard. Fellows cultivate them so
slowly and reap the crop SO rarely that q
genuine mustache, separated from its
lip. is a scarce article. Once in while a
pretty girl may be able to coax an enam-
ored chap to make sacrifice of his hirsute
treasure, but usually one must depend on
barber, in which case you never know
TO. certain that it is really mustache
ard not partner of side whisker or q
goatee, or even cutting of an uncom-
who obtained the desired mascot from a
devoted and betrothed dude. He called
on her again, and vowed he believed she
had already thrown his mustache away.
She produced it.
Seems to me it is bigger than it was. !"
he remarked.
Indeed, it was tiny little one when
you gave it to me, she shyly assented.
And it is half composed of redder hair
than my mustache."
'Yes, so it is"
''Ahal | know. / saw Jim Brown to-
day. and his mustache is gone. You've
got his and mixed 1t in with mine"
''Do you mind?"
Did he mindl Jim Brown was his hated
rival. The combination hoodoo mustache
may bring good fortune to that girl, but
not in the form of marriage with that
enrsged dude. He broke the engagement
off with snap like pipe stem. She will
have to get along the best way she can
with Jim.-Clara Bellies Letter

A New standard of Length.

Scientists have long sought for a fixed
and invariable standard of length. The
measures in common use are mere arbi-
trary lengths, and, # the original stand
ards should be destroyed. could not be ac-
curately replaced. The French meter is
supposed to be ten-millionth part of the
quadrant of the earth; but the accuracy
Of the original measurements has been
seriously called in question. The SO called
wave lengths of light have been suggested
as furnishing an invariable numerical
magnitude, but their excessive minute
ness and the difficulty of accurately meas
uring them have heretofore been an in
superahle objection TO their use.
Messrs. Nicholson and Morley have now
devised a method of measuring these
wave lengths, which they claim is prob
ably accurate to one ten-milli9nth part.
When it is considered that wave length
of sodium yellow light is only about one
forty y-thousandth of an inch, the delicacy
of this method becomes apparent. What
ever theory may be held as to the nature
of light, the numerical values called for
convenience ''wave lengths" are actual
and invariable magnitudes ot something;
and, if the new method of measurement
proves reliable, there will he no difficulty
IN obtaining fixed standard of length
which can be reproduced at any time or
place.-Popular Science News.

The Club n. . weapon.

From the earliest times, the club was a
favorite military weapon, its primitive
form being simply of a straight stick.
much heavier ut one end than at the
other, and adapted for use either by one OF
both hands. With improvements in
other styles or weapons, however, came
the mace. The mace is shafted
weapon, consisting of wooden handle
fitted into an iron head, the latter
being of many different styles. Some
maces have phalanges on the sides; others
are round like an orange, and furnished
with sharp projecting points; while others
again are in.the shape of two imperial
crowns placed base to base.
The mace was q hoiseman's weapon,
usually fastened to his saddle during the
march, and, in an action, suspended by a
corC round his wrist. 1t was favorite
wea Jon for fighting ecclestiastics, Of
win m there were many during the mid
die ages. Priests, by canon of the
church, being forbidden TO use the sword,
the mace, the lance, the halberd and sew
eral other weapons of this description,
were allowed to take the place of that
weapon, which, in all ages, has been typ
ical of war. A modification of the mace
was plain hammer or maui, frequently
carried by long bowmen. 1t was simple
mallet of wood or of iron, with handle
4 or feet long, used as an offensive
weapon at close quarters.-Globe-D Demo-
