Snuff Habit Up Again (New York Tiniest For many years we have been sav in)?, complacently, as we puffed our cigars, cigarettes and pipes: "Thank goodness, the disreputable habit of snuff-taking has disappeared.” We have congratulated ourselves on the increasing niceness of the world, shuddering perhaps, at the thought of a not articularly clean small vice of older generations. Yet 'nuff-t.uk ing has been creeping back and gain ing upon us all the while. Three times as much «ruff was sold in New York last year as in 1897 and tobacco men declare, in earefullv weighed statements, that more snuff will be sold this year than last. Early in the nineteenth century there arose a sort of moral crusade against snuff. The outcry of the re formers grew so loud that people who had formed the habit in early Iift* and couldn’t get along with their half-hourlv sniff took to hiring : mail boys to slip into the tobaccoe! e . pod buy for them the makings of a good sneeze. For vears after society hod ha"! • I the titillating indulgence tk '• con tinued to ptactic", it hu*. bn. the dy, at hom". v-ith the bHnds milhd d-.'v.t. or out in the barn. Th, f . : am proved by repent exeavati >u mti -m the sit" of an old Polo •! staid.? in New England, which ’..••ought 1 ’ light seventy-seven enedy snuff. • a s Iving in a du -ty heap under the ; lno'<~ where some juv-ient v.,h,:d”. ry ad eonmng'y hidden them. Mute were the little red tins, vet thpv told el •-' ouenMv of the secret joys of our rude forefathers. Pleasures v re few on that stem and rockMund e...a-i. Lines Are l hanging There is grave doubt that the tak ing of snuff will femitin. a stirrhpH tious proceeding much long:t., ir the sales volume figures put forth by the tobacco firms today arc. correct. The grandmother and the flapper who now whiff Tim'tish inc-m-e in the hotel lobbies would stare 'n shock ed amazement at the edit of some brazen traveling man dabbing pinches of tobacco dust at his nose, right out in public, wi'h his handkerwiief spread and ready and tears of grati fication eat hiring in his eve*. Vet such a sight they are likely to behold, for the tobacco experts sav that snuff taking is about to claim it place in the sun. The d«rk tvn-* of Virginia. Tennes see or Kentucky is the leaf chiefly used in the production of snuff. The leaf must be two years oi l before it will do. It is put through various fermentation uroceles, is gorund in to powder by machinery ar-d is sea soned a year in the wood. The mar ket, so far as known, i- not vet flood ed with snuff made overnight, never theloss the warning should be sounded that snuff that has lain in the wood a long white is much more healthful than the kind whose anti quity is dubious. The expressions “wet snuff" and “dry snuff" are increasingly heard. It is well to know that in wet snuff the fermentation takes place after the leaf has been powdered. A Tunes square cigar store man who sells Scotch snuff and Maccaboy has a long list of steady customers. His new- patrons as a rule, he says, are eople from the south, where snuff-taking has lingered lon.er than in the Puritan north. “Our snuff buyers are very nice folk,” lie declares. “They are not un tidy. In fact I can't see that snuff taking is any more untidy than the using of tobacco in any other form. A good many women buy snuff here. I don't know whether they buy it for themselves or for their grand fathers, but they buy it. No,We don't sell snuff-boxes, but I’ll tell you where you can get them." At the Fifth avenue shop that i i named some small plain boxes were found on sale and an elderly gentle man was bodty buying one. The habitual and well-trained snuff-taker doesn’t sneeze. To .sneer, is thought bad form. Beginners of course, sneeze their heads off, jn ■ as small boys succumbor to.their fir . cigar. In • 1897 the country product 1 000,000 pounds of snuff. Last .years’ production was about 40,000,000 pounds, according to internal revenue figures. Mrs. Weathers Dies In Winston-Salem Mrs. Mary Weathers, of Winston Salem, the account of whose illness was carried in the last Star, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. ). N. Still, in Winston, early Wednesday morning after an illness extending over a period of eight months. Mrs. Weathers, aged 71, was the wife of the late Romulus II. Weather of Raleigh, and was known in this county. She is survived by two daugh ters, Mrs. J. N. Still of Winston, and Mrs. W. B. Martin of Mooresboro; (■ne son Arthur R. Weathers, of Rocky Mount; four sisters, Mrs. Frank Foote, of Tumbridge Wells, England • Mrs. William Eldredge, of Wilson; Mrs. R. C. Taylor arid Mrs. T. I’. Styron of Winston. Perhaps there’s nothing to fear. The exposed masculine knee hasn’t demoralized Scotland. Things even up. Where the winter isn’t too hard, the roads are too soft. Experience is just the business of exchanging a fresh appetite for yni cism. You can’t tell an alien. He knows so little slang he has to speak Eng lish. Good Seed Pay It has been demonstrated mruyj times that increased yields worth from $10 t<> $10 per acre may be sc [cured by the use of improved cotton seed. Therefore every ambitious farm er should be on the alert to secure ipood seed for next year, j Many farmers say that it does not; pay to invest money for pure seed be-; ’cause they run out, there are thre ■ principal reasons why cpV.op seed dv jtcriorate. 1.—The uffsf ring ; of a cotton plant, u’-e never like iV plant because e >t j jton is a cross pollinated plant. Any 1 ( re can walk through a field of cot Jtoti and sec the difference in the char-. 1 af ter of the different plants. 2 Mixing at the gin. The l". S. de- : |pi rtmerit of agriculture has conduit-j jtd number of expi rimenfs in which it j found as much as 2(5 per cent mix-; jti;re may take place at the public j p'u.
