DO YOU KNOW MEN AND WOMEN Tl That you can have your eyes tested ac curately, and fitted with glasses by a practical optician at YOUNG'S JEWELRY STORE. J.S l lLJJ.nl i id n i i SNUFK INFORMATION. fteuflonit Given Tor ilia Kunrmnui Vnm of This Artlclu lu the United States. It seems surprising to learn the fact that twenty ve-ins afro four million pounds of snuff per annum were cou- ! sumed in this country. Much more as- j tonishinf? is the circumstance that dur- j ing the fiscal year ended July 1, 1502, ten million pounds of snuft were used i is it that one sees a pinch of 'wir.i'i taken! The mystery was explained recently by the New York apent for a great snuff manufacturing concern, says the Cincinnati Commercial. He said: '"Nearly all Italian and German music teachers use snuff. Likewise the r.cman Catholic clergy. The priests say that they get into the habit during long sessions in the confessional, where they must sit for hours t-ether. and take snuft in order to occupy them selves and keep awake, avoiding sneez- v sel n iig. The true, snuff-taker does not sneeze. Old-fashioned Irermiins, who came to this country a long time ngo, almost invariably take snuff. ,In beer saloons where people of their race con gregate, you will commonly see on the counter a box of snuff for general use. It is of black snuff that I have spoken thus far highly scented with rose, bcrgamot and pungent llowers. 'T.ut the snuff that is chic'.Iy used and manufactured in this country is of the ye'kiw it brown kind. Some of it is salted and some plain, but very little of it is scented. It is used to an immense extent in the south by negroes, and poor whites, for 'dipping.' The snuff dipper moistens a little stick, in water or aloohol, dips it in the s:ir.C, makes a little ball, and puts it between the lip and the teeth. The habit is an un pleasant one, but is practiced In the south by women as commonly as by men. In fact the consumption of snuff in this country U chiefly by dipping, and the bulk of the tobacco manufac tured in tliia f,hnp.. is consumed below Mascn and Hison'i lino. Yellow snuff is used largely by the Canadian-French girls, who compose a majority of the employes in the cotton mills all over the L mted States, particularly in New Eng land. "Snuff should be made from the leaf (talks of tha tobacco plantonly, though much Inferior material is mixed with the cheapor kind. Havana aud Sumatra tobaccos are preferred. The fla-orings mployed are kent strict! v secret. Much J are has to be taken iu the processes of "mpounMng, inasmuch as no class of tobacco consumers are so fastidious as null-takers. The Scotch are great users of snuff. It was a oeoU-hraan who once asked a big-rosed stranger if he took snuff, and receiving a negative ro Ply remarked: 'What a pity; you have such a grand accommodation.' " SPIRIT PKDTOGR.'PHS.

Then my priestess advertised 'portrait of your future wife or husband, twenty five cent: ' Hut she didn't procure them 'while you wait.' She would gel the name of the applicant, report tc me, and I would supply her with the picture. The thing quickly became a 'fad' with the yourg fools, and they all bit. I took pains to mix all the en gaged couples and to give the youngest dudes the ancient paintings that had been on the mati noninl market with out takers for a third of a century. 01 course, they kicked worse than all the bulls of ltashan, but fate was inexora ble, and the high pri?stess protested that there would Nj no mistake. The old maid swooped down upon her pre destined lord and carried him to the altar willy-nilly, and two of the leading society swells swapped sweethearts within a week of the wedding day. That settled all doubts of the oracle's foreknowledge and there was the very mischief to pay. The dudes stampeded, young ladies cut their best friends cold and soon-to-be benedicts sent chal lenges to their supposed successful rivals. But just as the fun was becom ing fast and furious a smart chap, whose sweetheart had been elected to become another man's bride, bought up my Sibyl and she gave the whole snap away. Dodrat a woman, anyhow! They won't stay bought." A !.':;-ilr Vlant. The English ivy attains so great an age that in England they say it never dies. There are ivy shocks ten or twelve inches in iiaincter whi-h are known to have been planted us slips six hundred or eight hundred years ago. An English winter is not severe enough to kill it, while the extreme moisturo cf the climate induces a lux uriant growth and a rich green, which is unsurpassed by anything in the vegetable kingdom. It is planted ngainut the old walls and often trained on screens to conceal unsightly build ings, and cverywlre forms c-.i-.-of the most attractive features in an English landscape.
