An acre was originally a field of any size. Icebergs sometimes last as long as two hundred years before they melt entirely away. A resident of Woodhill, five miles from Helensville, Mr. W. Monk, states that recently he saw a pukeko with something in its bill. On investigating, he found the object to be a young grey duck. Mr. Monk has lost several young Indian Runner ducks, and now thinks they have been killed by pukeko. A number of pukeko live near his residence. They are very tame, and come close up to the house. The lure of tobacco! As you may be aware prisoners in our gaols each receive an ounce of tobacco weekly; and it’s said that when one of them misbehaves, there is no punishment he dreads more than the stoppage of his tobacco. It’s the same with the inmates of our homes and refuges. The old folks spending the evening of their days in these institutions prize the stick of tobacco served out to them once a week, more than anything else. They know the comfort and solace of it. Does smoking harm all these people? It. harms nobody so long as t)ie tobacco is pure and of good cpiality. Unfortunately, the imported brands are'full of nicotine. And it’s nicotine in excess that does the harm when harm arises. Perhaps the purest tobaccos in the world are grown and manufactured in New Zealand. And they are comparatively free from nicotine. Also they are unequalled for fragrance and flavour. Ask your tobacconist for “Riverhead Gold” (mild), “Navy Cut” fBulklog), medium, or “Cut Plug.'No. 10” (Bullshead), full strength.
