Al Bold Attempt to Rot.

A bold attempt at robbery is being per- petrated upon the people everywhere in the south, in the efforts of interruptions persons to sell them an inferior article to take the place of Simmons Liver Regulator, the Red z. It's worse than robbery. It takes the money of the sick and afflicted, and gives in return preparations as unlike Simmons Liver Regulator as is the charac- ter of such deoeivers compared to the man of honor and integrity. Forewarned is forearmed. Save your money and protect your health by taking nothing but Sim mous Liver Regulator, the Red z. It's the Old Friend that for more than sixty years has blessed the homes of the land and brought long life to many sufferer with liver troubles. You can rely on its doing as much tor you. Health and wealth come to him who takes Simmons Liver Regu- lator. Look for the Red z on the front of the package--that is the guarantee of the proprietors that the medicine is genuine.

 It gives me pleasure to add to my col umns this morning an eloquent tribute to southern womanhood sent me by Mrs. M. French-Sheldon. the brilliant literary woman, business woman and explorer, who spent Saturday, Sunday and part of Monday in Birmingham. Mrs. Shel- don will probably return to our city on Thursday for a brief vist
 Although the southern woman was late in announcing, or rather revealing, herself, may she not have come more fully equipped into the arena than many of her northern sisters? The reasons for her lateness are obvious, possibly not so much so with the younger genera tion of a post bellum period, but the mothers under the shadow of titanic griefs, heart and soul poignantly wrung by bitterness that knows no telling; then too often, if indeed, not universally the case, she had to resign herself to loss of fortune, taxing her faculties and fortitude in the art of enduring the agony of devastation. defeat and the ravages of the fratricidal conflict. Then too, when she had to bestir herself as a bread winner, aristocratic child of the olden regime, 1t was putting herself on a rack, and only her innate pride and wo- manly destiny, her gentle breeding, made 1t tolerable. These changes in environ ment by necessity broke down certain class prejudices and relieved women of traditional and patrician limitations of old strietures. whilst in no visible way has the change affected her refinement or geniality. It has been an acknowl- edged fact that a southern woman's charmed and charming sphere was ever in the home circle and that she enjoyed and lived in the life of her family and her immediate friends. without disturb ing herself much about the outsider, or extraneous things, only as she chanced to familiarize herself with such through

Easy If You Know How.

A sporting gentleman, who had the
reputation of being very bad shot,
invited some of his friends to dine with
him. Before dinner he showed them a
target painted on barn door, with a
bullet right in the bullseye. This he
claimed to have shot Mt 1000 yards
distance. AS nobody believed him he
offered to bet the price of an oyster sup
per on it. On enc of his guests accept
ing the wager he produced two wit
nesses whose ,eracity could not be
doubted to prove his assertion. Since
they both stated that he had done what
he claimed he won his bet. During
dinner the loser of the wager inquired
how the host had managed to file such
an excellent shot. The host answered.:
''Well, shot the bullet at the door at
distance of 1000 yards and then I
painted the target round TILT Bits.

SNUFF-DiPPlNG.
The New Vice of Factory and Shop
Girls.

The New Vice of Factory and Shop
Girls.
The popular belief has been that
"snutf-flipping" is confined almost en-
tirely to the negroes and the ''poor
whites down south, but this old-fash-
toned practice is INDUCED in to re-
markable extent in this section of the
country. Within the last two or three
years it has been taken up by shop and
factory girls, and there is hardly a
manufacturing town in New York
state or in the east where the dealers
do not sell hundreds Of pounds of dip
ping snuff weekly.
The girls are using it now in prefer
ence to gum, and those who do not al
ready know the trick are being taught
it by their companions. The old
fashioned snuff that pleasurably it'll.
lated the nostrils of our ancestors is
going more and more out of use each
year, and to-day seven-tcnths of the
snuff manufact ured in America is
snuff for dipping. Approximately
about co,O00,000 pounds come out of
the mill each year. It is sold in little
tin cans holding one ounce, or FIRE.
quently girl prefers to buy it in small
paper packages, which she can carry
about more easily. An ounce costs
five cents. With some girls this guam.
tity will hardly last more than couple
of days. .. ... -........
The "dipping" process is simple
one. The old-iashioned method was
to rub the gums with the powdered to.
bacco by means of stick of soft wood,
whose end had been chewed into a
sort of brush, but the factory girl
pours about half a teaspoonful on a
card or bit of paper, and, tipping this,
shakes out the snuff into her mouth
against her closed teeth. , a.
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 a dealer in
Troy. The collar and cuff girls of that
city, it is said, have large number of
snuff-d'ppers among them. Fall River,
Mass, and Lynn are also stronghoids
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 comparatively small facto
nowadays. There are ten dipping
snuff manufacturers in the country.

though Baltimore has two or three
and Philadelphia at least one.-N. Y.
