A ticket in the Irish Free State Hospitals’ Sweepstake was an exhibit in a ease in the Wellington Supreme Court last week. His Honour, Mr Justice Ostler asked to have a look at the ticket. “I i have never seen a ticket in the Irish sweepstake,” he said. There was some laughter from spectators at the back of the Opart. His Honour smiled, and after looking at the ticket said he did not suppose the gentlemen of the jury had seen a ticket either. The ticket was handed down from the Bench and passed around among the jury. When a man told a Hamilton tobacconist that he had “heard tell” of a new kind of pipe that absorbed the nicotine -from the tobacco as fast as you smoked it the tobacconist laughed. “That’s the sort of pipe you read about but very seldom see,” he remarked. “Ho, sir, it’s only a rumour. But I tell you what I can do—sell you a tobacco with so little nicotine in it that it’s practically nil. That’s just as good as your patent pipe, isn’t it?” The other nodded. “Wthat tobacco’s that?” he asked. “Toasted New Zealand,” replied the tobacconist. “The toasting neutralises the nicotine in it and makes the tobacco,ms noil-injurious as spring water. It doesn’t burn the tongue, affect heart or nerves. Beautiful tobacco, too.” “How many brands?” queried the customer. “Five. Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) and Desert Gold. Splendid for the pipe and make the best cigarettes I know of.” The enquirer invested. The popularity of “toasted New Zealand” is demonstrated by the constantly increasing demand: — Advt. Life’s mostly froth and bubble, That’s what Lindsay Gordon said, So if your cold is giving trouble, Knock off work and go to bed. You need not for a moment The slightest pain endure, Just send out and get a bottle Of Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure.

Puhipi Riwhi, a young Maori, charged with the murder of Paui Ilenaro Riwhi, at Waiotemarama, on September 24, was further remanded by Mr AVyvern Wilson, S.M., at Auckland, on Saturday. Application was made by the police that he appear at Rawcne on November 23. Counsel for accused consented. The charge arises from an alleged altercation between relatives concerning the ownership of land. “It pays to be careful,” said Ilis Honour, Mr Justice Blair, in the Palmerston X. Supreme Court last week, when hearing a charge arising out of a. motor collision case. “It’s much better to be five minutes late in this world than 50 years too early in the next.” Later, when passing sentence on the accused, his Honour referred to this remark, and reiterated that it was better to be a bit late during the present than too early in the next world.

The engine shed and the other large shod adjoining, at the local railway station have now been completely dismantled. Portion of the latter shed has been removed to the south end of the yard to house the motor jigger. The yard presents a somewhat bare appearance. Most of the timber was found to be heart of totara and in excellent condition. This will be removed for use of other railway jobs and the balance will probably lie disposed of for firewood.
