SNUFF INFORMATION.

1t seems surprising to learn the fact
that twenty years ago 4, 900, 009 pounds
of snuff per annum were used in this
country. Much more astonishing is
the circumstance that during the fiecal
year ended July 1, 1892, 100000
pounds of snuff were used in the
United States. Yet how rarely is it
that one sees pinch of snuff taken!
The mystery was explained yesterday
by the New York agent for a great
snuff manu- featuring establishment.
He said:
"Nearly all Italian and German
music teachers use stuff. Likewise the
Roman Catholic clergy. The priests
say that they get into the habit dur
ing long sessions in the confessional,
where they must sit for hours together,
and take snuff in order to occupy them
selves and keep awake, avoiding
sneezing The true snuff taker does
not sneeze. Old fashioned Germans
who came to this country long time
ago, almost invariably take snuff. In
beer saloons where people Of their race
cOngregate you will commonly see on
the counter box of snuff for gen
eral use.
1T is of black snuff that I have
spoken thus far-highly scented with
rose, bergamo5 and pungent odors.
But the snuff that is chiefly used
and manufactured in this country is
of the yellow or brown kind. Some of
it Is salted and some plain, but very
little of it Is scented. It is used to an
immense extent in the South by ne
grOes and poor whites for dipping
The snuff dIpper moistens little sti *
in water or alcohol, dips it In the snuff,
makes a little ball, and puts it between
the lips and the teeth. The habit is an
unpleasant one, but Is practIced IL the
South as commonly by women as by
men. In fact, the consumption Of
snuff In this country is chiefly by dip
ping, and the bulk of the tobacco
manufactured in this shape is con-
sumed below Mason and DiXon's line.
yellow snuff is used largely by the
Canadian French girls, who compose
a majority of the employees in the cot
| ton mills all over the United States,
particularly in New England.
"Snuff should be made from the leaf
| stalks Of the tobacco plant only, though
much inferior material is mixed with
| the cheaper kinds. Havana and Suma
ira tobaecos are preferred. The flavor
ings employed are kept strictly secret.
Much care has been taken In tho pro-
cess of compOundlng, lnasmuch as no
| class of tobacco consumers are so fas-
| tidious as snuff takers. The Scotch
are the great users of snuff. 1t was a
| ScOtchman who once asked big nosed
stranger If he took snug, and receiving
a negative reply, remarked, What a
pity; you have such a grand accom-
mediation. '"-C Cine jlq2GtG Commercial

CURE FOR PAVING HORSES.

A correspondent writes paper that
the habit of paving can be overcome
in most cases by lifting the foot. and
holding it up for awhile every time the
animal begins to paw. To give the
horse the first lesson, he says: Put on
an old harness, buckle a strap around
each of the forward fetlocks, attach a
small rope five or six feet long to each
strap, pass the rope through rings or
loops on the top of the saddle, take the
horee to a soft, smooth spot so that he
will not be liable to get hurt, girt the
saddle tight so that it will not turn,
take up one forward foot and hold it
up for sJms ten or fifteen minutes by
making the rope fast at the ing on the
saddle. The object of this lesson is to
teach the horse that standing on three
legs Is tiresOme and dIsagreeable work,
and also to teach him that his foot is
held by a superior power, and that he
cannot put it down without tn con
sent Of that power - For him to get
these ideas, he needs to stand long
enough to get very tired of it, and
needs TO do his best to get his foot free
before he can realize that it is impos-
sible for him to free it. Having gwen
this lesson, put the horse in the place
where he is in the habit of doing the
most paving, and when ne lifts either
foot hold it up by pulling on the rope
attach d to it, and hold it for a short
time only. The object Of this lesson is
to teach the horse that it is when and
only when he lifts his foot so paw that
the control of it is taken from him.
When he learns this he will probably
stop the p-act,ce; but for him to get
! this idea, the foot must be taken and
held long enough for him to realize
that it is held every time he attempts
to paw. In this, as in all teaching and
all disciplinary work, the teacher and
governor needs a good supply of pa
t;ence and perseverance, ECchG11ge.

RULE OR RUIN POLICY.

There is q bad state of affairs exist
ing throughout this country, and we
fear IL bodies no good In many in
stances friends are arrayed against
friends; brothers ag 4ins6 brothers,
neighbors against nelghborS, and all
on account of difference of opinion on
political matters. In these times and
In certain localities 81 person who disap-
proves of the old methods and
politics of parties, and dares TO express
himself boldly is sbrangled by his
former friends and associates. This Is
truly an unhealthy state of affairs.
Wh.n a man cannot give expression
to hls honest sentiments and cOnvlC
tIOus, tn re Is danger ahead
When freedom Of speech is denied or
fOrc5s a-e brought to ba8r TO suppre es
It, 1t Is ruinous porteut for the coun
try, and the very iber ties Of the peo-
pie are endangered. There are few
manly, fearless, men-Of the people iiv-
ing at this time, and If tie founders of
this oLce glorious Republic could gaze
upon it to-day they would be horror
stricken to know the Influences and
powers that dominate
Whom the structure for this govern
meDt was laid it em 0OGiei the prInCi
pies Of justice, equality, 6qulUy-and
the right OF the people TO govern them
selves
A government founded on such prin-
ciples Is capable OF achieving much
greatness. A government that clothes
the people Onty with the authority to
govern themselves, and then departs
from its fundamental principles is
capsule Of mischief, and Can rasu,
02.tn1n oppression TO the governed.
Contrast the period III this country
Of half century ago with to day and
how vast the difference in the manage
ment of the naCIon's affaiEs2 At that
period the people in their sovereign ca
paciCy were the rulers, but to day there
Is so much manipulation, the purchase
Of the voters, corruption and rascality
that the viii of the people Is well-nIgh
crushed out.
1t Is becoming more and more appar-
ent that lC is q policy of RULE or RUIN
The tendency toward such a policy is
SO obvious to sight that no one who is
observant can escape perceiving. Men
who have been In authority, who have
been hOnored with the highest gifts are
finding themselves like Othello, with
their occupation gone. The people
trusted them, but when their day of
reckoning came they were found
wanting" The peoples interests had
been neglected and al account of their
stewardship was demanded. 1t is this
class to day who were "drest in lit
tie brief authority" who ruled and
governed, but are now seeking to ruin
and tear down everything. Il is bad
sign. No good can result from it, Ours
should be one nation-knowing no
North, no South, no East, 10 West,
living in peace, happiness and harmony
an united, liberty loving, law abid
ing, loyal and homogeneous people,

THg FIXED CHARGE OF THE
FARMaR.

The most important factor in the
problem of the farmer seems not to
have been properly considered in dis
cussiOns on this subject. 1t is what
may be called the fixed charge of
the family. "A poor man for chill
dren," runs the old adage These
blessings swarm around the small
farmers door, healthy, happy, and
always hungry-OmnivOr0u as so
many Ostriches, The support OF these
must come from the proceeds of the
crop, whether large or small This
fixed charge cannot be appoximated
with any degree of certainty in the ab
sence of statistics. Reports of the
Bureau of Labor for the IRON industry
appOrtlOn an expenditure of four hun
dred dollars as follows: food, one hun
dred and eighty five dollars; clothing,
eighty five dollars fuel and lights thirty
dollars; furnlJuse, taxes, insurance,
sickness, amueemepts, religion, etc g,
one hundred dollars 1t is a sad truth
that very many farmers are com PEELED
to live on much less than this. But if
we assume four hundred dollars as the
income of the farmer, 1t will be seen
that if he devotes himself exclusively
to cotton, in order to secure advances
based on cotton-the only cash crop he
can make-it will not be enough to
charge against the crop the amount
expended in legitimate production,
such as ploughlng, hoeing, picking,
ginning, rent, etc. The bill for the
support of the non producing mem
bers of the family must also be paid.
Cost of production thus becomes very
different thing from the cost of the
family Prof. r. A DGUis, IN the
NOUenlbeT Forum.
