The wreck of the Progress and the •loss of four lives at Wellington last week, emphasises the need for a lifeboat and lifesaving apparatus at the Dominion's chief port. It is stated that a powerful motor lifeboat which could put into the strait in any weaThier and approach closely to vessels in distress could easily be provided if all the bodies concerned would get together in an effort to supply this indispensable aid to safety. And it should not be held over until yet another wreck occurs. Asked by a customer whether ho had seen many changes in tobacco pipe fashions during his long connection with the trade, a veteran Christchurch tobacconist said he had seen a number of “new fangled pipes’’ introduced from time to time. “Not one of them lasted,’’ he added reminiscently. “The ordinary pipe is good enough for the ordinary smoker, and he generally prefers a briar. As for tobacco there are more brands than there used to be, but the growing preference is for toasted New Zealand. It’s extraordinary the demand that has sprung up for this tobacco. Of course, the toasting of the leaf vastly improves the flavour and gives the goods their fine bouquet. Ay, and it does more —it gets the nicotine poison out. There's no other tobacco so free from nicotine. The imported lines arc full of it. That’s very bad for the smoker. There arc four brands of toasted. Rivcrhcad Gold, Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3, and Out Plug No. 10. No others arc manufactured. And, take it from me, they’ve come to ffnv.”

A reminder is given of the demonstration of the productions of Messrs. H. J. Heinz at Mr. Roots’ establishment this week. A particularly good move has been made by the Borough Council in arranging for an ornamental flower plot around the somewhat bare street light standard in the 'Triangle, which has been somewhat of an eyesore in the past.
