Use of Snnff
The chief reason for the popular
ity of snuff seems to be that the
powdered, scented tobacco can be
"dipped” (placed between the gums
and cheeks) by those who cannot
smoke at work. Its users, who
range from social registerites to Ne
gro field hands, also say that it is
good for colds and sinus disorders.
"Dipping” is the more prevalent
way of taking snuff (one "dip” lasts
for hours), whereas In earlier days
sniffing it up the nostrils was more
popular. More expensive than
smoking tobacco, snuff is put up in
bottles, paper packages, tin cans,
and even calves’ bladders.
Noted Architect, Carver
Samuel Mclntire of Salem, Mass.,
like the Adam Brothers of England,
was most noted for his fame as an
architect and as a carver. He is
responsible for some beautiful
pieces of furniture gracefully and
delicately executed. His favorite
piece was the sofa and several of
these with chairs to match are in
the collection of the Essex institute
at Salem.
Inscription on Grant’s Tomb
Cut into the marble of U. S.
Grant’s tomb in New York are these
words: “Let us have peace.” This
was the sentence he uttered at the
first convention which nominated
him for the presidency.
All these bargains in excellent running condition!

Steeplechasing Old Sport
Steeplechasing got its name in
the early part of the last century
from the fact that a group of mount
ed sportsmen would pick out a dis
tant church steeple and race to it
over the countryside, through gar
dens, over fences, ditches and
farms just to see who could get
there first, ignoring all hazards.
Later, when the number of races
increased, certain formalities were
observed. The jumps were changed
and stiffened, and dangers added.
Flags were placed along the way ta
insure that the riders would follow
practically the same route.
The Sprinter's Power
Scientific studies of athletic sports
reveal that, in a 100-yard race,
which takes about 10 seconds, the
sprinter’s power reaches a peak of
eight horsepower; that nearly 95
per cent of it is used in overcoming
the frictional resistance of his own
muscles; and that the total energy
expended would lift his own weight
about 250 feet from the ground, says
Collier’s Weekly,
Milk From Cow Tree
The cow tree or milk tree is a na
tive of Venezuela. The stem con
tains a milky latex which flows
out in quantities when a notch is
cut in it. The "milk" is sweet and
has a pleasant taste.

IT PAYS TO READ OUR
ADVERTISEMENTS
Lincoln Medal
A strange coincidence distin
guishes the Lincoln medals struck,
at Chicago early In 1865 from other
varieties commemorating our mar-
I tyred President. The obverse die,
■ showing a bearded bust of Lincoln,
! cracked after a few impressions and
1 had to be reinforced, and this crack,
I say a an official of the Detroit Coin
. club, Is clearly visible on the med
j als. It extends from below the right
down through the lobe of one
ear and across the metal surface in
a course similar to that taken by
the assassin’s bullet on April 14,
1865.
A Strange Market
One of the world’s oldest and
strangest markets is the huge out
door camel market in Tripoli, North
Africa, which attracts more than
5,000 Arabs and their families each
month from all parts of the Libyan
desert. Carrying all their worldly
possessions on the backs of cam
els, these Arab nomads travel as
far as 1,000 miles to sell a camel,
buy yard-goods for clothing and
. meet friends.

Liberty Bell to Allentown, Pa.
In 1777, when the American forces
■ were about to leave Philadelphia
1 the Liberty bell was taken to Al
lentown to prevent its falling into
the hands of the British, who were
1 then at the city’s gates.
