The Now Vice OF Factory and Shop.
The popular belief has been that
'spuff- dipping" is confined almost en-
tirely to the negrocs and the "pcor
whites down south, but this old-fash-
toned practice is indulged in to . re-
markable extent in this section of the
country. Within the lust two or three
years 1t has bern taken up by shop and

The amount of the consumption can
be Judged best from the fact that one
dealer in this city sends barrel Of
dipping snuff weekly, to q dealer in
Troy. The collar and cuff girls of that
city, it is said, have a large number OF
nuff-d;ppers among them. Fall River,
Mass, and Lynn are also strongholds
of snuff-dipping, and in fact this
article finds customers in every city
and town along the Atlantic seaboard.
The negro and poor white trade Of the
south is q comparatively small factor
nowadays. There are ten dipping
snuff manufacturers in the country,
the majority OF them in New Jersey,
though Baltimore has two or three
and Philadelphia at least one.-N. X

Thrilled with the glorious sight,
IF all the beauty around u.s.
And all the love and delight,

To bide with us, day and night?

That makes us steady and true
Ghdes softly in with the dawning
To gladden. us through and through
To lift our hearts to the Giver
And help us in all we do?
Yet whether we lose it or keep 1t,
Depends upon many a thing:
Whether we're lazy or busy,
Whether we grumble or sing,
Whether our thoughts are noble
Or whether they grovel and sting.

With the return of the cool autumn

and is always striving to offer them
something unusual. Here are two des-
serts:
Barley pudding is made by soaking

until the gelatine Is dissolved. Heat
one pint OF milk to boiling point and
stir into 1t three tablespoonfuls Of sugar
and the well-beaten yolks of four eggs.
DO not allow the mixture to boil after
the yolks are added, but take from the
fire and stir frequently Until partly coil;
then add the dissolved gelatine. Flavor
with teaspoonful of vanilla, maras-
chino, or sherry, and finally add the
whites of the eggs beaten light. Line
a lightly buttered pudding mould with
lifted half-inch slices of rich, black
rruft cake. Fill the lined mould with
the custard and set it in a cool place

them lightly with sugar, and cover
them with champagne and a dash of

"Oh, it's only cod''
Such remark as this is often heard at
this time Of the year. when the weather Is
chilly. The people who make such a re-
mark seem to forget that a cold Is really a
dangerous condition of the system, a weak
spot. disease. A cold may lead to a cough,
and then to pneumonia, or 1t may sow the
seeds of consumption. For this reason 1t
is dangerous to neglect cold. 1t is better to
stamp 1t out at once. Fortunately there Is
one means of doing this that is always safe
and reliable. What it is and what it will
do can be seen from the following:
Mr.. M. o. Conner, 21 Scott street, Brook
lyn. says: Some time ago l was stricken
down with congestion of the lungs and,
though having the best medical attendance,
did not improve. l had a cough that seemed
to contract my chest to half its natural size.
/ was In constant pain, and had no rest. day
or night. At last was advised to try Duffy s
pure malt whiskey, and 1t effected a speedy
cure. The lung trouble and cough entirely
disappeared, my appetite was regained, and
breathing became as natural as ever. / now
feel like new man all over
No ordinary whiskey could have produced
these unusual results. AS q means of build
ing up the system and restoring the health
II 1t were kept in every household, and used
in all cases of emergency. a vast amount of
sickness and suffering could be entirely pre-
vented.
