“Mi - S’. Stockdale had a marvellous escape from serious injury one day last week (says the Matamata Record). He was travelling along in his Ford car, round the bend leading from Hillcrest into the Cambridge road, and was passing another car, which, it is assumed, touched his wheel cap. His car turned over, three times, fipally landing on, its wheels without other than hood damage. The top half of the windscreen fell, out, but was not broken, and Mr Stockdale found the rear view mirror in his coat pocket, arid hi& watch tvas some distance away on the ground, However, he gathered up the pieces and drove <m home, little the worse for his surprising misadventure. A quarter of a century a,go the motor car was quite a novelty in New Zealand, as the following extract from the Ashburton Mail of 1903 will show: “ The public of Ashburton during the last few days have seen a novel conveyance in the form of a motor car running about the town. The car, is of the most moderp type, with a Benz 3% h.p. engine, and has a speed gear varying from four to 18 miles per hour. The engine is driven by vapourised petrol, fired by an. electric spark from the accumulator. Of the 9448 bachelors who entered the married state in New Zealand last year 9035 married spinsters, 219 divorced women and 244 widows. Divorced men (2?4) marriel 203 spinsters, 4'9 divorced women, apd 51 wido.ws, whilst widowers (696) married 419 spinsters, 78 divorced women and 199 widows. What a famous physician thinks about smoking: “Tobacco,” says the eminent medical authority, Sir Bruce Porter, “is an extraordinary comfort to a great many.' I would particularly wish to reassure old folks so that they may not be terrified from enjoying one of the few pleasures that remain to people of advanced, years. Tobacco in moderation is not going to do you any harm. Of course it isn’t! When smoking proves harmful it is because the tobacco contains too much nicotine. The American brands are more or less full of the poison. The purest tobaccos on the. are produced here in New’ Zealand. You cannot eliminate nicotine entirely from tobacco, but our New Zealand brands contain very little. That’s why you can smoke them all day long and take no harm. Thejr fine flavour and delightful fragrance are largely due to the fact that the leaf is toasted--quite a new mild, “Navy Cut’” (Bulldog) medU, urn, and “Cut Plug No. 10 ” (Bullshead) full strength.*
