KAFFIR3 AND SNUFF.

In South Africa among tbo Kaffir*
snuff taking Is 'universal, mid It is a
grave breach of manners to ask your
host for a pinch when you nro stand
ing up.
The itkniin for this Is found In the
treacherous practices of former times.
When one man wished to kill another
A favorite device was to ask him for
• pinch of kuuIT, and then, while tho
un:msjH‘cting victim-was fuuibilug for
his snuffbox, the murderer luul u splen
did opportunity. As this trick for tak
ing a umu at a disadvantage Lsvacie
familiar It naturally giew to ho a point
of good manner.* to make your request
when squatting ou the ground, wbeu
clearly you were hitendlug no evil.
The Kaffir a miff Is made from crude
tobacco grown at every kraal, which
is powdered up and mixed with the ash
of tho doc, carefully ground on a stone
and damped. It is nlwnys etiquette
to ask for snuff, imd-lbe donor grants
your request grudgingly, lest he should
be suspected of pressing upon yon bo-
witching medicine with It.

eyes were pretty constantly fixed upon
