rived from snuff-box. And this was
the way of 1t: The snuff-box was

Baron James de Rothschild, as token
of esteem. Carafa sold It, "a hours
later, for rs napoleons to the same
ieweler from whom it had been
bought. This became known to Roths-

traffic continued till the death of the
banker, and longer, still, for his sons
