A well-known Maorilander just returned from a trip Home, visited Birmingham in the course of his travels and Avas shown at a wholesale warehouse a lot of elaborately carved tobacco-pipes of allegedly Maori origin. On enquiring the price he was asked whether he was “in the trade," and unblushiugly said “yes.” Of course he isn’t. He merely Avanted to get a little “inside information.” These pipes are made in Birmingham and got into the curio shops of London and elseAvhere where they are sometimes sold at fancy prices to “collectors,” What a world! It isn’t quite so easy to fake Hew 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 Cut 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 thing is. So mind what you buy!
