Whether the revival is due to pro- hibition, or to limitations imposed by an industrial age on. other uses of to- bacco, is a matter of speculation. The - fact remains, hoWever, that American manufacturers are producing more snuff, Tax records made public yesterda; the Internal Revenue Bu- reau sho that 3,060,099 pounds were produced _last December, as against 2,910,765 for December of 1928. At the same time tax collections for the two months mounted from $523,937 to $550,817. “This rise was further borne out in collections for the first half of the fiscal year of 1929 compared with those of the corresponding period of 1930. For at least 100 years past the snuff habit largely has been confined to the people of the Southern mountains. The usage showed a change, too, with the waning popularity of the brown dust. “Dipping snuff” is the present habit among mountain folk, who chew the powdered tobacco from twigs of some aromatic herb which they call “tooth- brushes.” In the days of the Louises of France and during the reign of William and Anne of England the dandified courtiers pinched _their snuff daintily from Jeweled boxes and inhaled it through their nostrils. The pungent aroma produced a t! sensation and often a sneeze, as highly pleasant by the addicts. Some of the most highly prized bits of anclent craftmanship in Europe to- day are the snuff boxes of kings and emperors, many of them fashioned of ]mll:lu me and encrusted with ewel ‘The bureau's figures also showed a decline on-the tax paid on cigars, al- though cigarettes, which have come into fashion mv:' American women, were taxed at $166,399,662 during the 58 thes Jimped lo” 31T 6" or 571, for the first h&-;l the 1930 fiscal year.
