SNUFF DIPPING.
The New Vice OF Factory and ShOp
Girls Causes n Great Demand.

The New Vice OF Factory and ShOp
Girls Causes n Great Demand.
From the New York World.
The popular belief has been that snuff
dipping is confined almost entirely to the
negroes and the poor whites" down south,
but this old-fashioned practice Is INDUCED
In to a rems rkable extent in this sec ton of
the country. Within the past two or three
years it has been taken up by shop and
factory girls. and there is hardly a man
ufacturing town in New York state or in
the east where the dealers do not sell hum
dreds Of pounds of dipping snuff weekly.
The girls are using 1t now in preference
to gum, and those that do not already
know the trick are being taught it by their
companions. The old-fashioned snuff that
pleasurebly titillated the nostrils of our an
cestors is going more and more out of use
each year, and today seven-tenths of the
snun manufactured in America is snuff for
dipping. Approximately about 10000, 900
pounds come out of the mills each year.
1t is sold in little tin cans holding one
ounce, or frequently a girl prefers to buy
1t In small paper packages, which she can
carry around more easily. An ounce costs
five cents. With some girls this quantity
will hardly last more than a couple of days.
The dipping process Is a simple one.
The old-fashioned method was to rub the
gums with the powdered tobacco by means
of stick of soft wood, whose end had been
cheWed into sort of brush, but the fac
tory girl pours about half teaspoonful on
a card or bit of paper, and. tipping this,
shakes out the snuff into her mouth against
her closed teeth
The amount of the consumption can be
judged best from the fact that one whole
sale dealer in this city sends a barrel Of
dipping snuff weekly to a dealer in Troy.
The collar and cuff girls of that city, it is
said, have large number Of snuff clippers
among them. Fall River, Mass, and Lynn
are also stror gholds of snuff dipping, and.
city and town along the Atlantic seaboard.
The negro and poor white trade of the
south is comparatively small factor now
adays. There are ten dipping snuff manu-
them in New Jersey, though Baltimore has
two or three and Philadelphia at least one.

MEASURING THE ASTEROIDS.
Close Work With the Lick Telescope
and Closer With the Yerxes.

Close Work With the Lick TELESCOPE,
and Closer With the Yerkes.
From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
Prof. E. E. Barnard has recently pub
l;shed in Popular Astronomy the result Of
his experiments with the Lick telescope in
measuring the four asteroids. Ceres, Pal
las, Juno and Vesta. These asteroids were
the first discovered between the orbits of
Mars and Jupiter, and for many years
after 1907 were supposed to be the only
odies of the kind
In 1915 new discoveries We're made by
Hencke, and from that time the number
mounted to 2S7 in 1889. Attempts have
been made to estimate the diameters of
the four principal asteroids by the meas
IRE of light reflected. AS it was necessary
to take one of the plarets for comparison,
no accurate conclusions could be reached
because of probable differences in the re-
f1ecting power. 1t is well known that some
portions Of the moon reflect less light than
others, and that measure of the light
fl ON a given surface on the gray seas
would give an inadequate iGea of the total
re Election of light from our satellite.
Having access to the only telescope In
the would that can give to the larger as
teroids an appreciable disk, Prof. Barnard
began the difficult work. After careful
measurement he found the diameters to be
as follows:
Ceres .......................... 4S5 miles
JuEo ........... .........-............ llo miles
Nesta OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 243 miles
These measures d.sproved the estimates
that had been made by measurement of
light, as Vesta, being the brightest, had
been considered the largest. Ceres, the
first discovered, is the largest of the four.
The Italian astronomer Piazzi of Palermo,
found Ceres January l. 1901.
Perhaps measurements of some of the
smaller asteroids can be made with the
new Yerkes telescope when it is ready for
work This instrument will have clear
dis meter of forty inches, and in light-col-
lecting power will surpass the Lick tele-
scope as 900 is to 1,296: that is, as the
squares of the diameters are to each other.

Mr.. Reeds Little Joke.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.

From the chicago Times-Herald-
At the National Soldiers Home, near Mil
vaukee, there Is an ardent admrer OF
Thomas B. Reed. He praises him unstint-
eddy. I asked him why he took such an
interest in the Maine man. I'VE served in
the navy, on the same boat-the Sybil-of
the Mississippi squadron. I was secretary
to Commander Mitchell, and Mr.. Reed was
paymaster. He drank not, nor did he chew.
smoke nor swear was good nature itself
and never allowed his work to get behind.
He was a practical joker. While the cap
tain and most of the officers were away, a
week after we had been paid. Reed directed
the men to come to his quarters and receive
a months pay. We were astonished; the
government had not acquired the habit of
paying in advance But there was Reed 8
written direction to come and get another
months pay. We gathered around the
smooth-faced, happy-hearted young pay
master, when he handed out to each Of US
as many dollars as we were entitled to for
thirty or thirty-one days OF SERVICE but
they were confederate dollars"

Genius is really only the power Of
making continuous efforts. The line be-
tween failure and success is so fine that
we scarcely know when we pass it--so
fine that we are often on the line and
do not know it. How many man has
thrown mp his hands at time when a
little more effort little more patience,
would have achieved success As the
tide goes clear out, so 1t comes clear in.
In business sometimes prospects may
seem darkest when really they are on
the turn. A little more persistence, a
little more effort, and what seemed hope
less failure may turn TO glorious sue
cess. There is no failure except in no
longer trying. There is no defeat except
from within, no really insurmonntable
barrier save our own inherent weakness
