INFLUENZA AND SNUFF.
Reason for the Revival of the Ola
Tobacco-TaLing Habit.

From the Philadelphia North American.
Fashions change in tobacco as in
everything else. When the Prince Re-
gent was the First Gentleman in Eu-
rope his friends would rather have
missed a prize-ight than be seen with
a cigar on the Mall. George ~ took
his tobacco as snuff. and what he would
have thought or said if Beau Brurnmel
had offered him a cigarette no man
knoweth. Nowadays we only know
snuff in historical novels or Oxford
common rooms. We associate snuff
with quaint and crusty old gentlemen
and the papers tell us, with a pleasing
choice of adjectives, that snuff-takers
are either old men or poor women
Who the genius was that first took
tobacco neat instead of as smoke, says
the London Daily Telegraph, history
saith not What is certain is that
snuff became popular in England just
about 200 years ago, and the learned
opine that the cause was Sir George
Rockies victory at Vigo where besides
gold and Spaniards and other uncon-
sidered trifies he captured a large par
Gel of snuff, and brought down prices.
Queen Charlotte had her snuff ac-
count. Frederick the Great took it in
nanQIulS, anu SiIlOlueTeu MS clothes
herewith, so that his valet acquired a
small but comfortable income by
brushing them and selling the result
So, al least, tradition records but
those crafty menials must have had
noses and eyes of triple brass. Ma
poleon was not exempt from the habit
Southey wrote verses in praise of snuff
All the more distinguished people
Beau Brummel, Lord Alvanley, and the
rest, had their own peculiar mixture

recipes, and made for each customer

cigar while he was taking snuff or fill
ing his box. A modern parallel would
be to smoke pipe of shag at pub
lie dinner.
Snuff taking was comparatively eco
nomical. The ordinary man consumed
some two ounces a week-cost about
7%d. The smoker whose tobacco costs
no more is an economical man. OF
course. there We're hardened sinners
who bought their snuff by the half
dozen pounds, and luxuriated in its
dry delights. The true snuff taker, of
course, did not sneeze. 1t was as much
a faux pas as to choke over the
smoke from a friends cigar.
After a good deal more than CEN
fury of empire snuff lost it's pride of
place almost as suddenly as its place
was won. The generation that is just
dying effected the revolution. But
snuff died pretty hard-indeed, as will
be seen in a moment there is a good
deal of life in it yet. Among the mid
die class, and especially those who
practised the learned professions, it
fingered long.
Now we are told. "old men and poor
women" alone are faithful This is not
precisely true. Snuff has begun to re-
vive. 1t came in first with a naval vic
tory. It came in the second time with
the influenza. Some genius discovered
that IL cleared the head, and imme-
diately the snuff trade began to inn
prove. For the past three or four years
snuff-taking, at all events among the
| higher classes, has been steadily on
the increase. Certainly it does clear
the head Let the skeptical acquire a
stuffy cold and give it a copious pinch
of strong scented rappee.
You make your choice between scent
ed and unscented Both are made alike
from American tobacco ground fine
| and blended. Snuff tobacco is good for
its own purpose alone. The effects of
a pipeful of it would probably be
more striking than pleasant. More
over, snuff now costs los or Us the
pound.
Whether man takes his tobacco in
a pipe, cigarette or cigar is largely
matter of means and fashion. So it is
with snuff. A firm of West End to-
bacconists tells with amusement how
a parcel of snuff went by mistake to
a gentleman who had ordered cigars.
He kept the snuff, and has taken snuff
ever since Still, it will probably be
some time before the ordinary man
hands his friend a snuff box instead
of a cigar case, or the Wallets of the
Ieigning mOnarchs make their pocket
money out of the snuff split on the
royal clothes. The snuff taker knows
not what it is to lose his dearest pipe
! or suffer tortures over the bad cigar
| that his friend insists on giving him.

At quaint old Castletown, the me
tropolis" of the Isle of Man, there
exists a very interesting clock, which
has now performed it's functions OF
time telling in five centuries. 1t was
presented by Queen Elizabeth in the
year 1897 to Castle Rushen, the fort
ress which stands in the middle of
Castletown, from which the town
takes it's name. The works are crude,
being driven by ropes and pulleys,
but nevertheless they keep fair time.
The clock, in fact, has run ever
since it was built. except for rare
stoppages for repairs. To this day
the single hand which travels slowly
around the rial outside the tower of
Castle Rushen is the principal source
OF information as to the hour to the
Inhabitants of Castletown. A time
piece which has worked Continuously
for more than three hundred years is
something of real curiosity.

sUaAR.BEET GROWING.

The reports concerning the sue
E oess of sugar-beet growers in the
Arkansas valley during the last
season are particularly gratifying
to all who desire the prosperity of
the sugar beet industry in this
state.
The fact that one man produced
$146.64 an acre on two acres OF
beets testi6es to the fertility of the
soil in the Arkansas valley and the
favorab BILE climatic conditions Both
in tonnage of beets per acre and
in percentage of sugar in this in
stance was remarkable.
The factory at Rocky Ford re-
ports that among the farmers who
furnished it with beets twenty-one
produced over 500 per acre, and
from these the yield graded down
to 227 who produced more than
$40 per acre, which is the lowest
figure reported by the factory
There were 146 who produced over
$50 per acre, and others between
that figure and 800 per acre
showed what intelligent and faith
full workers were able to accom-
plish.
These figures leave no room to
question that one of the most
highly favored localities in the
world for the production of sugar
beets is the Arkansas valley in this
state. The soil is rich and the
climate warm. Irrigation is need
ed, and during the summer season
when the beets are storing up
sugar and little moisture is desired,
there is very small rainfall. This
insures the development of beets
with high percentage of sugar,
and irrigation during the growing
season insures large tonnage per
acre. If there is any place in the
United States where beet sugar
can be produced in competition
with the cane sugar of the tropics,
it is in the irrigated valleys of this
state.-Denver Republican.
