Snuff.
From the New York World,

From the New York World.
Snuff taking disappeared from society
and from literature about half a century
ago. Who now except the collector is
"of his amber SNUFF box justly PROUD?
What hero of contemporary fiction takes
a pinch of maccaboy or rappee? Yet
the extent to which the habit persists in
humber life is shown by the $3.50. oS8
of earnings of the American Snuff Com
Sany last year. In the eight years of the
companys existence it has earned $l6-
$780, 1870 applicable for dividends on its
capital stock Of $21,0O0,OOO.
Snuff came to Europe from America
I'm the sixteenth century by way of Spain,
Martinique supplying a favorite brand.
Its use became social rite and the prof
fer of a snuff box a drawing room civil
ity. Kings and statesmen and dowagers.
dandies and diplomats took snuff. Ger
tain gentlemen Of the old school do so
STILL But the demand for snuff is chiefly
from the lower walks Of life-from the
plantations OF the south. the mills of the
north and from western farms. The large
profits from its manufacture are derived
from the utilization of the stems Of the
tobacco leaf along with other waste ma
terial in making the cheaper grades.

Licking the Editor.
From the Lordsburg Liberal

FROM the L0fdSDurS LlDeral
In some portions of the United States
it has always been a favorite pastime
when man was not satisfied with what
appeared in the local paper to go and
lick the editor. Some unwise guy i'm
ported the scheme into the southwest re-
Gently. 1t was tried in Ell Paso. and the
editor is still doing business, while the
man who wanted to lick him is buried
in Oklahoma. Last week an Albuquerque
policeman tried 1t. He was six inches
taller and weighed fifty pounds more than
the editor. The policeman was taken to
the hospital In an ambulance. and when
he recovered consciousness the nurse gave
him a message from the mayor announc-
ing that he was fired from the police
force. 1t is probable that the editor OF
the Liberal and Col. Max Frost of the
New Mexican are about the only editors
in the territory whom 1t would be safe
for an ordinary man to try to lick.
