The famous tobacco-box formerly belonging to Sir Walter Raleigh is still, in existence, and is now a iriuseum piece, and, of course, extremely valuable on account of its history and associations. Fashioned of metal it Is, cylindrical in shape, seven inches high, thirteen inches in diameter, and the outside cover is of guilded' leather. It holds about a pound of tobacco, for, of course, Sir Walter loved his pipe. One wonders what his tobacco was like? Hot and strong, probably, and not in the least like our own "toasted,” which is neither hot hor strong, but cool, sweet and fragrant, and just about as pure and delicious as it can be. Comparatively harmless, too, owing to its nicotine being largely eliminated by toasting, so that over indulgence won’t affect you. ’ The genuine toasted brands are: Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, - Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead .Gold and Desert Gold. They’re 'all good—so gopd in fact, that they’re being imitated. So the safest way when you buy is to ask for the brands n»nied. The imitations are worthless
