SEAMAN’S OBSEQUIES.

BERVICE AT SEA. (By Telegranh.—Press association. i -CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. The -ashes of the remains of the late Mr David Kilmlnster, formerly boatswain of the Shell Oil Company’s vessell, Paua, were Iburie-d at sea on Wednesday night during the 'passage from Wellington to Lyttelton. When the Paua was fourteen miles off Wellington Heads, Captain D. RPatterson stopped the vessel and assembled the crew aft, where the burial service was read and the ashes distributed. . Mr Kilmlnster had been boatswain of the Paua for eight years.

The changes time brings! Half-a-century ago no one with any pretensions lo respectability would have dreamt of smoking in the street, and few clubs or private houses possessed smoke-rooms. To-day as many pipes and cigarettes are smoked out of doors as indoors, and every club and every large private residence rejoices in its smoke-room. But public taste is more fastidious than of old in the choice of tobacco, and the best brands now command the largest sale. This is especially noticeable in New Zealand where “toasted" has become so highly popular. Go where you will, you’ll find the five.famous toasted brands, Gut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Gut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold on sale. “Once a smoker always a smoker," it is said, and it’s no less true than once a smoker of toasted always a smoker of toasted. For there’s nothing to compare with it for flavour and bouquet., also for purity and harmlessness. The toasting eliminates the nicotine! But beware of “imitation” toasted. It’s no good! 533
