Consternation reigned amongst tlie smokers assembled on the platform at Wellington the other day when the outward-bound Hutt train drew op without any first-class smoker car attached. However there were two cars labelled “A” and “B,” respectively, and a smoker, pipe in mouth, exclaiming “B” is for Baccy! jumped into the “B” car, and all the other smokers followed suit. Presently someone asked: “If ‘B’ is for baccy—what is ‘A’ for?” “For abstainers of couise,” came the reply. Everybody laughed. Precious .few “obstainers” from the weed these days!—possibly one in 50. Well there’s no harm in tobacco, so long as it’s good and doesn’t contain too much nicotine, as those imported brands do. Our New Zealand tobaccos contain so little it doesn’t matter. That’s why they are so safe. They are unbeaten for fragrance and flavour, too. Delicious. Those chiefly in demand are:—“Riverhead Gold” mild. “Navy Cut” (Bulldog) medium, and “Cut‘Plug No. 10” (Bullshead) full strength. They are on sale everywhere. Any tobacconist will supply you.—Advt. \
