bacco by the employees Of the manu-
featuring companies, the Voliva people
have been holding prayer meetings in
front of one of the plants twice each
day. Elder Royal had just called the
second meeting when several score
of men rushed out Of the plant, tore
down or leaped v e barriers which
had been erected around the prayer
platform, and drove the Zionists from
that part of town.

OLD CUSTOM is COMING BACK
Fashionable E%nsIIshmsn Are Carrying
snuf-boxes Now and Dip Int
Them.

The old family. doctor In the COS,
who had been in London and seen Sir
Benjamin Brodie. used to tell stories
about his distinguished colleague and
point them by taking snuK. When he
entered the bedroom Of q patient his
beard and clothes were redolent or
snuff; he would brush it on his flow
cred w%aistcoat. We now read of a re-
turn to snufing in England; that .
snuff club has been established in
Leeds; that motoring favors the prac-
tice because the motorist cannot in
the open enjoy a cigar.
We also read, Philip Hale writes in
the Boston Herald, that snuR is bad
for the nerves, and that the modern
brands d~eteriorate quickly; that snun
Is also bad for the digestion and for
the nose, since 1t is sometimes adul-
terated with lime. George Tvs snun
was sold for 94O0. and how long did
the fragrance of 1t last?
In many ways this taking of snun
was q fine, courtly old habit. 1t &C.
centuated an epigram; 1t served as an
answer when speech failed; 1t gave
weighty importance to a triiiing OBJ
servation. James I. did not inveigh
against it In his "Counterblast- to To
bacco." What more royal prekent to
an actor or violinist than a gold snun
box incrusted with diamonds and filled
with ducats or louis dor? Then there
were the s%nuffboxes with lids ex-
Quisitely painted, with the portrait of
some frail beauty, or inscribed with a
ribald motto!
If the practice is revived. should
the pinch be taken with the left hand
or the right? Some objected to
Richard Manstield's Beau Brummei
because the comedian took snun with
the right.

Zion City, ILL.,. May /. Rioting,

en- ere beaten with clubs and black
Jacks and a number were seriously in

After the fight at the prayer meet

large alarm bell rung and more than
1000 men members of the church gath
cred at the auditorium to discuss plans
for resisting further attacks by EN-.
ployes of Independent companies who
filled the streets and threatened to
clean out the town." A second clash
between the church people and the
independents was feared at the audi
forum meeting. where Voliva urged
his followers to protect their women
and children from the tobacco smok-
ing curse" as he stigmatized the in
dependents.
