Is wood-carving becoming a lost art among the Maoris'? Formerly you could buy many tilings of genuine Maori workmanship, including pipes, the bowls often taking the' form of Maori heads elaborately carved, with tattooings and pawa-shell eyes. Now genuine examples are scarce. The Maoris laugh at the imitations! But if there are fewer bona-fide Maorimade pipes, there's plenty of good N.Z. tobacco!—than which there is nothing liner produced in any part of the world, for not only is it manufactured from the choicest New Zealandgrown leaf, but being toasted (consequently almost free of nicotine) it's as pure as tobacco can possibly be, and safe for even the heavy smoker. Its immense popularity has resulted (as per usual!) in several wretched imitations getting about, but they are easily avoided if you ask for (and see you get]) any of the live original, and only genuine, toasted brands —Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Riverhead Cold, and Desert Gold. These beautiful tobaccos have made a reputation that extends far and wide.
