" Speaking of sport," said the Mayor of Christchurch, Mr J. K. Archer, in a recent speech, " I have been asked to take up golf, but I decided that I wouldn't. Golf, in my opinion, is an old man's £ame, and I'm not an old man. Perhaps in another 20 years' lime I'll give it. consideration, i'rn too young yet." This remark was greeted with loud laughter, and when it died down the Mayor hail another joke coming. " Oh, I'm young all right," said Mr Archer, smilingly. "I was on a train the other day, and, seeing a little girl opposite me, 1 decided 1 would talk to her. ' Hullo,.little girl, I said, 'where are you going?' For a moment she stared at me, and then turned to tier mother. 'Mother,' she said, ' 1 don't know' that boy.' "

Lid you knaw that Lord Jellicoe was a devotee of the "weed'."' lie chiefly smokes cigarettes, but conirnes himself lo one packet of ten per diem. Quite moderate! Yes. Some people smoke thrice that quantity between breakfast and bed. Rut despite the popularity of the "cig," millions of smokers prefer the pipe. As to the injuriousiicss of smoking it largely depends upon the tobacco. The imported brands, as a rule, are simply loaded witii nicotine, so that their habitual use cannot be good. In that respect they differ materially from our New Zealand grown tobaccos. These arc toasted —hence their delightful flavour and fragrance. Also, they arc comparatively free from nicotine and do not burn the tongue, wreck the nerves or affect the heart. There is unquestionably a great future before these tobaccos, and already the growing, curing and manufacture of the leaf is becoming an important New Zealand industry, and farmers are finding a tobacco crop a profitable one to cultivate. Brands chiefly in demand arc Riverhcad Gold, mild; Navy Cut (Bulldog), medium; and Cut Plug No. 10, full.' 36
