Addressing the top boy, he said: “Now, supposing your father had three plugs of tobacco and gave you one plug and seven-eighths ot another plug—how much would he have left?'' “Please sir,’’ replied the lop bov, “father doesn‘t smoke.” 'The teacher roared with laughter. And •apropos of tobacco what do you think of our New Zealand toasted brands with their rare boucpiet and fascinating flavour? Those arc points, but the chief merit of this tobacco is that it is toasted, which process absorbs most of the nicotine in it, and renders it perfectly harmless. You cannot smoke more than a pipe or two (at a time) of the imported tobaccos with any comfort, owing to the quantiy of nicotine they conta’in. Rut you can smoke any amount of toasted Now Zealand not only with keen enjoyment, but with absolute safety. There are only four { brands manufactured: Jfiverhead Gold, | Navy 'Cut No. k, Cavendish, and Gut i Plug No. 10.
