Cigarettes and Snuff.

Cigarettes are in many respects the
symbols of the age and its influences.
| The social authority exercised by roy
atty never received a greater tribute
than in the popularity which the cigar
cite has won. Fifteen years ago cigar
cites were furtively smoked by school
bows and fast Young ladies. Phey we're
regarded as foreign and effeminate
denominations, and they were never seen
in the lips of any person of mature wears
save the Gallo exile, temporarily resi-
dent in Leicester Square. The example
of the Prince of Wales changed all this.
His royal Highness, in the course OF his
peregrinations, had contracted the
habit of smoking cigarettes. Straight
way the habit of the future King OF
England became the fashion OF Pail
Mall and st. James street. Other in
fuences were at work. The cigarette
was held to have about it certain
cachet' of Orientalism, and ever since
the Crimean war all the vanities and
ways of the Asiatic have been in more
or less fashionable repute. Cigarettes
were at first regarded ~ an exclusively
Turkish product, and addiction to them
was accounteda mark of personal distinc-
ton. They had other claims upon public
consideration than this. Upon the con-
tinent of Europe they had long been IA
vorites with statesmen and diplomat
lists. Tolerable cigarettes were naturally
preferred to execrable cigars, and the
fancy for cigarettes was soon acquired
by the Englishmen moving in political
diplomatic circles. Such is the force of
association that cigarette-box grad
ually became the distinctive sign of the
citizen of the world. The cosmopolitan
financier was behind the scenes in
every European capital. The affecta-
ton had its advantages. If 1t was not
very enjoyable it was economical. Good
cigars were increasingly difficult to get
and dear to buy; perfectly smokable
cigarettes were generally to be procured
and on very modest terms. In this way
the practice has grown till it has become
to the present age what snuff-takiAg
was to our grandfathers. The Bath
footman in the "Pickwick Papers" found
it at once more agreeable and cheap to
fill his box with coffee than with rappee.
Gentlemen of all degrees ''snuffed,"
not because they liked it, but because
it was the correct thing to do. The art
of opening a snuff-box and of handing it
to ones friends was as diligently studied
as the art of bowling or of entering
room. Snuff-taking in society was in
fact not pleasure, but an accomplish
ment. This is the sort of position which
cigarette-smoking may be said to have
secured in our own time London
