A well-known Maorilander just returned from a trip Horae, visited Birmingham in the course of his travels and was shown at a wholesale warehouse a, 10l of elaborately carved tobacco-pipes of allegedly Maori origin. On enquiring the price be was asked whet her ho was “in I he t rade," and iinbliishiugly said "yes.” Of course, ho isn’t. He merely wanted to gel a little “inside information.” Those pipes are made in Birmingham and get into the curio shops of London and elsewhere whey they are sometimes sell at. fancy prices to “collectors.” What a. world! ft isn’t quite so easy to fake New Zealand tobacco because of its comparative freedom from nicotine—the result, of the special purifying process it is put through at the factory, and which eliminates most of its nicotine and makes it safe to,smoke to any extent. There are only four brands: Cavendish, Riverhead Gold, Navy Gut No. 3, and Cut Plug No. 10. They’ are famous’, every one of them, for their flavour and matchless fragrance. Of course they are being imitated'—every good fhing is. So mind what vou buy' — Advt.
