Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-.
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and hue cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and inn
proved way is called flue cured.
In hue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to a continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat Of fame heated fues, which
brings out in the tobacco that
stimulating taste and aroma that
expert roasting develops in green
coffee. These similar processes give
to both tobacco and coffee the cheer
ing and stimulating quality that pop
ularizes their use.
The quality of tobacco depends
much on the curing process and the
kind of soil that produces it, as ex-
pert tests prove that this fue cured

tobacco, grown in the famous Pied
mont region, requires and takes less
sweetening than tobacco grown in
any other section of the United States
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
juicy, full tobacco taste that satisfies
tobacco hunger. That's why chewers
prefer Schnapps, because Schnapps
cheers more than any other chewing
tobacco, and that's why chewers of
Schnapps pass the good thing along
one chewer makes other chewers,
until the fact is established that
there are more chewers and more
pounds of tobacco chewed to the
population in states where Schnapps
tobacco is sold than there are in
those states where Schnapps has not
yet been offered to the trade.

A Great Rat Hunt.

An extraordinary sight was witness
ed in the small hours of the morning
recently by persons passing along the
streets and boulevards in the neigh
borhood of the Eastern railway sta
ton, Paris, says the London Daily
Mail Thousands of huge rats, many
of them as large as rabbits, were
scampering along in terror. They
were being bravely attacked by many
cats, but the latter did not always
come off best in the encounters, and
numbers of cats were killed. People
fed from the streets in terror, but
the rats did not attack any human be-
ings and rushed into the sewers
wherever they could find an opening.
1t appears that the other afternoon,
while a temporary wooden bridge was
being demolished in the Boulevard Sc
bastopol over the tunneling for the
new Metropolitan railway, an old sew.

Temper Powders,

Sir Lauder BruntOn, famous Eng
fish physician and surgeon, is quoted
by a special London cable to the New
York Herald as recommending a
temper powder" consisting of bro
mide of potash and other drugs.
which should be taken whenever one
is subjected to "some irritating occur
renee" or "some depressing news"
''to take away the sting of either, so
that in the place of being much wor-
ried and unable to turn attention to
other things. a person feels as if he
had slept over the bad news or worry,
and is able to obtain relief by turn
ing his attention to something else"
According to this dispatch, Sir au-
der Brunton recommends the ITEM
per powders as a means of prevent
ing those constant explosions of tenn
per on the part of a member of the
ia ily,'' which may affect the health
of the other members, who have their
appetites spoiled, their digestion i'm
paired, their nerves shattered, and
their pleasures in life destroyed by
the mental suffering induced by the
irritable temper of another For
these patients the best treatment is to
administer temper powders to the
pSISOH. Wn0n the Q1SCr0SS-
ing symptoms of the other members
of the family will be relieved
This is. indeed. an easy way out of
trouble; but it is DANGEROUS expe-
dent, and in the end will only make
worse trouble, for the effects of bro
mide of potash and other Supplying
drugs are to leave the subject in
state of increased irritation when the
effects have worn off In order to
cure bad temrer. then, by this plan,
the only effective method would be to
keep the patient under the constant
influence of the bromide, of potash. or
opium. or some other nerve-depress-
ing drug.
Bad temper. in a great proportion
of cases. has for its foundation, in
digestion, nervous exhaustion or
som" other physical i'll. which may be
relieved by the removal of causes and
the adoption of suitable phvsioloeic
measures. In certain cases, moral
remedies are necessary. as well as
physical.

Lillian Russell Saturday took mat

problem of the ticket speculator- At

of Proctor's Twenty-third Street the

Miss Russell took the bunch Of
tickets as if to look them over and
makes her selection and walked rapid
ly toward the box office. The specu-
lator, who had never had any tickets
taken from him before by prospective
purchasers, pressed close upon her
loudly demanding return of his tick
cts. Miss Russell stepped to the win
dow and handing the twenty tickets
to the treasurer, said:
Here are twenty 50-cent seats. This
speculator tried to sell two of them
to me at $3.50 apiece. Give him SO
for them and with a smile entered
the theater and proceeded to her
dressing room.
The speculator frothed at the mouth.
He demanded his tickets back, but
the treasurer, standing upon the legal
rights of theatrical managers estab-
iished in the courts to the effect that
tickets are not transferable and that
they have the rignt to revoke the en-
trance and return the money for those
transferred to persons offensive to the
management, refused

WHEN TO cRITICIsE.

When your heart is warm with love,
Even for your enemies;
When your words come from above.
Not from where the venom is;
When you see the man entire,
Not alone the faults he has;
Find a somewhat to admire
Underneath the paltry mass
Not till then, if you are wise,
Will you dare to criticise.

Occupation for the Aged.

NludlH, III HIS M6QlCdl dl
bitrarily defines advanced life as the
period between sixty-two and eighty
two, and the time of old age beyond
that period. But the infirmities of
age are measured, not so much by
length of days as by the integrity of
the bodily functions, and the sound
ness of the organic structures
The question, How much work is
normal and rational for each? must
be answered according to the past life
and present condition of each indi-
vidual old man or woman. For most
old people, however, there is no en-
ployment better than work in a gar
den in which they have some CONNER
cial interest Money, honestly earned
and wisely spent, promotes health.
The hoeing, wedding trimming gath
ering and marketing of the fruits and
vegetables or flowers; the open air
life, exercise in the sunshine anon g
growing things; the healthy stimulus
of planning the work, studying and
talking to others of the best methods
of gardening-what is most profitable
to plant in that region, how the land
should be fortified, and where and
when to sell the products-a1 this
keeps the mind active
Poultry raising and bee culture are
also employments well adapted for
those advanced in life who need to
make work remunerative
The main points for the aged to
consider are: To avoid disease and
premature failure of strength, not by
increase of food and stimulants, as is
often advised but by cutting down
ard simplifying the diet in proportion
to the decreased wear and tear of It's
sue, so that the intake will not exceed
the output; to still maintain an inter-
est in current thought and activities,
and to select some occupation suited
to their physical strength and their
previous training and skill.
The secret of a healthy, useful, ac-
tive old age is to know how to wear
out 1ife's waning energies normally,
not to exhaust them prematurely by
overwork, or, worse still, waste them
by the rusting of needless inactivity.
There would seem to be little need
in old age of restitution and depend
ence on the county, were all the work
ing classes to plan for home in the
country and a few acres of land, by
saving money uselessly spent for such
disease-producing, misunderstanding
articles as tea, coffee, tobacco and al
cohol, to say nothing of other injuri-
Gus table Injuries. By a wise econ
omy in the expenditure of money, and
rational investment in a home, the
old working man and woman would
find themselves with fund of health
and strength equal to their day, and
when no longer able to compete with
younger generation, they would
still have useful, remunerative occu
patton on their own premises.

Traffic in the Square.

Through the square pass innumer-

leisurely gait quite at variance with
modern ideas of rapid transit, yet
serving the transportation interests
of the great city to a large degree.
Hundreds of cabs pass hourly, and
thousands of pedestrians. Still the
great square never appears TO be
crowded. Everyone has time to stop
for survey of its beauties-to watch
the waters play in the fountains; to
feed the pigeons alighting on the
