SNUFF'S DECLINE AND RISE.
This Country is Reviving a Fashion
 in Tobacco.

London Telegraph.
 Fashions change in tobacco as in ev- erythfng else. When the Prince Regent was the first gentleman in Europe his friends would rather have missed a prize fight than be seen with cigar on the Mall. George " took his tobacco as snuff. and what he would have thought or said if Beau Brummel had offered him a cigarette no man knoweth. Nowadays we only know snuff in historical novels or Oxford common rooms We associate sn If with quaint and crusty old gentle men. and the papers tell us. with a pleasing choice of adjectives, that snuff taffers are ''either old men or poor wo- men," Who the genius was that first took tobacco neat instead of as smoke his tory saith not. What is certain is that snuff became popular in England just about 200 years ago, and the learned oplne that the cause was Sir George Rooke's victory at Vigo, where besides gold and Spaniards and other unconsid- cred trifies he captured large parcel of snuff and brought down prices. In those days macaw, or rappee, cost some 5s. a pound and every one used 1t save perhaps staunch old country squires. who stuck to their church wardens and October ale. There were dainty ladies to meet more delicately and yet more amply the requirements of well bred noses Queen Charlotte had her snuff account. Frederick the Great took it in handfuls, and smothered his clothes herewith, so that his valets acquired small but com fortable income by brushing them and selling the result. So at least tradition records; but those crafty menials must have had noses and eyes of triple brass Even the great Samuel Weller, prince of servants. could not manage snuff without sneezing; but he belonged to a degenerate age, when pipes and cigars were coming to conquer. Napoleon was not exempt from the habit. Southey wrote verses in praise of snuff. All the more distin- guished people. Beau Brummel, Lord Alvanley and the rest had their own peculiar mixture.
 The snuffmaker kept books full of reel pes. and made for each customer his own

THE SOLID WEST.

From the Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
Whatever may be the cause of 1t, there
can be no doubt that the soidifcation of
the west has been going on rapidly dur
ing the last six years. Not one of the
seventeen western states has gone demo-
cratic this year, and thus is the last
vestige of democratic influence wiped out
of the west. 1t matters not whether this
result is due to Mr.. Bryan and Organism
or whether it is due to some other cause.
He may not have produced 1t, but it is
evident at least. that he was powerless
to avert it. The fact is, however, that
the west is now solid for the republican
party. The democrats party may as
well confront the fact that there is a
solid west, as well as a solid New Eng
land, against it. 1t has but little to hope
from either section. Connecticut has been
known to go democratic, and so has
Massachusetts; but If the party is to win
in the future its field of labor must en-
brace the states of New York. New Jer-
sey, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio. The solid west is hard problem to
solve.

The Charleston News and Courier
calls attention to the fact that in Ches-
ter county in its state they are graft
Ing pecans on hickory sprouts. Such
gratis grow at the rate of five feet a
year, while seedlings grow very slow.
~. It is believed such CRAFTS will be
gin to bear in four years, while seed
ling pecans would consume twice that
tirie in getting to productiveness. Mo-
is this all. Seeding pecans are sub
ject to attacks of "borers." while il
is assumed that hickory stock would
be proof against such attacks.
Alabama is full Of hickory sprouts,
and If these sprouts can be turned
into pecan trees, a new source of in
come will soon become available. Two
old pecan trees in Virginia are con-
sidered worth $1,000 apiece, simply be-
cause they each yield annually the
income of that sum. Hickory stock
is hardy and the South Carolina
gratis should be duplicated in this
state. The plan offers great possibili-
ties, and the world stands ready to
buy an almost unlimited supply of
pecans.
