it has died out among fashionable peo-
pie, but millions of pounds of 1t are
still consumed.
IT send a great deal of snuff south,
in Georgia. Alabama, and the Caro-
linas, the poor dip snuff in huge
quantities. To dip it is to rub it on
the gums and in the crevices OF the
teeth.
81 also send a lot of snuff to France.
The lower classes of France still carry
their horn snuff boxes, and still sniff
snuff up their noses in the regulation
way.
IT do a good trade too, with South
America and Africa. The Kaffirs stuff
their noses with snuff mixed with pep
per while the Patagonians ram it up
their nostrils with small wooden
spoons.
Have no fear about the snuff trade.
There is still a good living in it,
