Heavy rains of late have had an affect on tlie) various playing areas m the city, and as a result hockey games scheduled for play yesterday had to be postponed. Tho seniors were lo have conducted a live-a-side tourney, white fv; juniors were to have staged their final.

During the height uf Sunday night’s storm, a Remucra resident and friends were startled when a blue, blinding flush shot from the radio set across the room, states an Auckland exchange. Reception ceased immediately and it was feared that the set had been fused. Investigation showed, however, that not only had tlie occupants of the room experienced a remarkably fortunate escape from severe shock, but even the set had not been damaged. What had happened was that cacti valve had been blown up a short distance in its socket, and all that was needed to reestablish reception was to push the valves back into their connections.

Prom a voluminous store of reminiscences of school life retailed by former pupils, it was loft to the rector, Mr Frank Milner, to supply the most humorous at tho annual dinner of the Waitaki High .School Old Boys’ Asso ciatioii (states the Dunedin Star). The recruits of the cadet corps wero being inspected by llio military instructor, who divided his attention to the ranks with denunciation of their physical qualities. “There’s a likely man,’’ interrupted .Mr Milner, pointing lo one youth, distinguished by two medals pinned neatly on his breast. “He’s a hero; lie’s done something.” The resultant questioning of the recruit' completely shattered any illusions of meritorious performance. One medal was a first prize award for exhibiting a White Leghorn fowl, the other for taking a second prize with a canary.

Havana cigar “tasters” don’t smoke the cigars they grade. If they did they’d soon peg out. No. They just take one mouthful of smoko from a cigar and pull it into a tumbler which has been swilled out with water. The smoke, or most of it, is retained in the glass by the moisture, and is sniffed by the “taster” who judges the quality by the aroma. And that’s one way in which the pipe-smoked tclis what’s what —by the aroma. Tin; aroma of “toasted” is so peculiarly delicious that (ho smoker knows at once he's got hold of something “extra special.” Both for bouquet and flavour, “toasted” is unique. It stands alone. There’s uo other tobacco so good—and so.harmless. Tho nicotine, you see, is “killed” by the “toasting”—the manufacturers’ exclusive process. “Pirates” have often tried to imitate it—and found it couldn’t be done! The iivo famous brands are: Navy Cut No. o (Bulldog), Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Rivcrhead Gold and Desert Gold.

Of course they're imitated. So beware when buying!
