Over one hundred years old and “lie thoioughly enjoyed his pipe.’’ That was recorded a while ago of Mr William Reeves, who passed away recently at Knox Home, Tanmki, Auckland, aged 101. The anti-tohaccoites are never tired of telling us that smoking shortens life, hut if anyone cared to take a. census of inmates of these charitable institutions they would dis(over that, great numbers of very old mon—yes, and very old women too, derive comfort and consolation from their pipes. Smoking so far from being injurious is really beneficial so long as the tobacco is good and does not contain a heavy percentage of' nicotine. The imported brands a'-' practically all of thorn loaded with nicotine. Our New Zealand tobaccos, on the other hand, contain so little that they may l>e smoked all day without any ill-effects. They are full of flavour and fragrance too, sweet and mellow and delicious. Ask for “Riverliead Gold” if you want a fine aromatic. “Navy Cut" (Bulldog) if you like a good medium, or “Cut Plug Xo. 10’’ (Bullslieacl) if you prefer a grand full-flavoured sort.—Advt.

BEDS I l)K AR CUMEXT. EDINBURGH. Sept. L’4. Mary, Queen of Scots', bed room at Holyrood Palace was the scene of a heated encounter between a local guide and a Maryland (U.S.A.) farmer, Edmund Cobill, during the visit of the American Farm Delegation to-day. While the party was standing beside the Queen’s bed the guide recounted the story of Mary’s intrigue with Rizzio. “Tlint story is false.” shouted the farmer. “It is history.” said the guide. “History lies, anyway,” retorted the farmer. The first skirmish passed off, and was followed by another, when the guide told the farmers that “Mary never forgave T.ord Dnrnley for encompassing Rizzio's death, and she schemed later to bring about the death of her husband, finally succeeding.” “That's wrong, too.” shouted Cohill. “We want no more of your hum history. Don’t be telling us she also plotted against Elizabeth. Give us something better, or give me my money back." Several members of the. delegation tried to pacify Cohill, but he left in high dudgeon.
