The management of. the Consolidated
has begun within the last few days a
vigorous policy of retrenchment in the
matter of expenses, by which the con-
struction and operating forces and shops
all, over the entire system have been
decreased in number. This action is
taken notwithstanding that the regular
passenger and freight, traffic of the road
duiingvthe menth of‘Angust has been
good—better than it has been on the
majority of railroads throughout the
country. It is not the result of an ex-
traordinary dull season so far asthe~
immediate business of the road is con-
cerned but is brought about because of
the uncertainty of the political situor
tion, particularly as it applies to the
' .currencyquestion. \

_ Snuff is Made.
Every year the spud-taking citizens
of the United . States deliberately pay
for and throw away $1,750,000 worthof
snufl. How is this? 'Well, in 189151., the
. total production of snuff in this country -
- amounted to 11,705,414 pounds, valued.
at about 60 cents a pound, and when a
man takes a pinch of snuff he wastes at
the very least one-quarter of it by spill-
ing it down his vest or leaving it adher-
ing to his fingers.
travagant, wasteful way of using to-
bacco known. - ,'
About three ounces of snuff per capita
are manufactured annually in this cOun-
try. Nearly all of it is made by one
company in New Jersey and another in
Pennsylvania, the two turning out
600,000 pounds a month. The users are
Catholics priests, Italian and German
music teachers, some of whom have a
vest pocket lined witbleather, and carry
the snufi loose in this with a tiny horn
spoon to convey it to their nose; the
Swedes, Norwegians, and Scandinavians
of the Michigan lumber fo sets and the
West generally; pianoma ers to amen,
and women in the large cities, who
“dip” it as is done in the South, where
there is a great demand for snufi.
In Arkansas about every native, with
his trousers‘ in his boots, sleeves rolled
_ up, and shirt bosom open, carries a
hardwood stick and snufi loose in a
pocket. He wets the stick, dips it into
the snufi, rubs'one gum, dips again, and
rubs the other. and goes through life
with a brown dusty halo around 'his
lips The Virginian mountaineers or-
iginated this practice. It spread through
the South, struck Texas, and is much

Gambllng "on the Weather.
The Hind‘oos are great gamblers. One
of their favorite methods is that ofbet-
ting on a. rainfall. The Indian Mirror,
of Calcutta, of recent date says: “The
rain gamblin/g enclosure in Burrs Bazar
presented a. scene of unusual activity
on Monday, when heavy clouds be-
tokened the , approach of unsettled
weather. There was some heavy plung-
ing, but, as the rainfall was extremely
light, it was only the rain brokers Who
made a. haul.” '
