An Auckland joker, thinlcing to take a rise out of his tobaceonist tlie other day asked him if he 'd auy tobacco that positively wouldu 't burn the tongue or irrjtate the tllToat. "Why yes!" replied the whifl-merchant, f'Several!" Tbe joker looked incredulous, "Most tobaccos aot like that if you smoke more than a couple of pjpes of them at a time," continued the tobaceonist, "if you ask mo, but not Ihe toiisted brands. They're differept. Tliey'd neither burn tho tongue nor irritate tho throat, not even if you smoke 'em tilJ the cows come home. Tonstuig does it, It's the manufacturers' own pvocess and the only oue. It ncutrnlises Ihe nicotinc, and for flavdur and bouciuet thpre 's nothing to toucn those tobaccos. They're ijniquo. And, miud you, that ull I'm telling you is generalJy known, is •provctj by tlie deuiand for t'ut I'lug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 vBulldog), Riverhead Gold and Desert Cold. I ought to know bocause I sell more of them than of the imported. " Aud thus another couvert to ' ' toast,0(1" was tuade.
