Inc amount is limited. it is true;

OF the Southern woman. It isn't so
primitive, it is more artistic, more
refined, if these words can be used
IN this connection. Then. again, no

small doses of snuff is not sufficient.
The demand has been created, and
the system raises its voice for more

formed, not by any sudden step, but
a mild graduation almost unnoticed.
One common method employed by
girls in cotton mills is to use cotton
waste or tissue paper, formed into

Can't Check Habit

1t seems strange at first thought
that Massachusetts mill girls should
pattern after their Southern sisters
in snuff dipping but they do, and
this, too, in spite of strong senti-
ment in opposition. Efforts have
been made at various times to check
the yearly increasing consumption,
but to little avail other than to make
the users more secretive in the habit
In some places the influences of the
church has been exerted with the re-
suit that sales have very sensibly
decreased, but the effect has, how
ever, been only temporary.
The mill girls, when noviaties. ap-
ply the snuff with delicate brush,
and they are as secretive about it as

.DIP SNUFF" HABIT
AMONG MILL GIRLS
Tons Used in Massachus-
etts and the South.

Boston, Mass, July 20.-H was
just a furry in the debate in con-
gress on the tariff BILL just desul-
tory discussion on the snuff sched-
ule, but it was enough to bring to
the front again the fact that the Old
Bay State sneezes every time any
attempt is made to change the duties
on that particular article. And there
is good reason for the sneezes, for
Massachusetts is deeply interested in
the subject
Not less than fifty tons of snuff
are used in this state in a single year,
and the demand is constantly on the
increase. Of course, there is a rea-
son for things that happen.
To many the use of snuff is only
associated with our very moral and
highly respected ancestors, but while
not few of the modern users take
theirs" after the old time methods,
the greater part of the product sold
in Massachusetts every year is sold
to clippers" and the dippers are
very largely mill girls. They are
found in every mill center in the
state, and their name is legion.

Differences i'm Method

One cannot help connecting snuff
dipping with the mountains of Geor-
gia and the pine woods of North
Carolina, with unfortunate conditions
of life, with ignorance, where it be-
comes part and parcel of the daily ex-
istence of the poor whites" and wo-
men of the cracker" class. How
graphically writer's have held the
mirror up to a nature and pictured
these 'low-down" women and their
gaunt forms, hollow checks, discol-
ored teeth and tobacco-stained lips
Not a pleasing picture, but Massa-
chusetts, with its little red school
house-generally painted white, how
ever-on nearly every hilltop, can
show similar one.
The difference is largely confined to
the Notwithstanding more
The Southern Cracker" woman
lacks refinement. She was born
under unhappy conditions, and has
never had a chance to improve This
shows itself in her dipping" Her
methods are coarse and primitive, and
she goes about the transaction as if
there We're no chance for improve
ment. The Southern Clipper who
would a-dipping go first first gets
soft stick. Then she chews, mildly
but persistently, until the end has
been grophd into something like a
brush. This, with a tin box of snuff
completes the outfit. The homemade
sFab properly dampened is "wopsed"
about in the snuff tin until sufficient
amount of the snuff adheres. Then
the sOggy, snuff-laden brush is polk
ed into the mouth, the gums and teeth
are smeared with the sticky paste. At
ter this has been done the stick is
relegated to it's normal position be-
tween the lower jaw and the cheek,
the handle protruding from the
mouth. Then the woman is ready to
receive the minister or fry the ba-
con.
1t has been written, as an illustra-
ton of the democracy of these people
that at a social occasion it is not
unknown for the hostess to calmly
smear her own gums and then pass
her secondhand brush and can of
snuff to her neighbor, who uses it.
So it goes around until each visitor
has sampled the donors stock.
