The Irish Free State has ceased to export donkeys to England, and for that reason another of the distinctive features of London is disappearing. For what the Ai-ab’s thoroughbred steed is to poeti-y and romantic fiction, the donkey, almost since the days of Elizabeth, has been to the prosaic facts of life in the Whitechapel and Bethnal Green districts.

“America has done more for the world than any other nation,” remarked a speaker at a farewell dinner it Auckland to a well-known American, “She has .given us tobacco.” (Loud and prolonged apnlause). Yes, miokers evei'ywhere owe a debt of gratitude to Uncle Sam; they never ■an repay for the priceless gift which has done so much to render existence happier and life better worth living. Nor must the ci'edit due to those who have devised better methods of tobacco culture and superior methods of manufacture, be fox-gotten. And in this connection the name of the National Tobacco Company, Ltd., of Napier, stands out prominently for their toasting process (exclusively their own) not only vastly inxpi-oves flavour and aroma but makes their tobacco safe for even the invetei-ate smoker. Hence the ever increasing demand for the famous toasted blends Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhend Gold and Desert Gold. No finer tobaccos than these are produced. They never vary in quality, and are the only genuine toasted blonds manufactured.*
