“ft is to tin* best ol all Books that you are rightly looking for guidance in realising your responsibilities and vour privileges. It teaches ns aiming other things the" importance of duly, confidence, cheerfulness, and love,’’ said his Excellency the Governor-General at the Bible class rnllv in the Wellington Town Hall on Sunday. "Duly is not always pleasant, hut its faithful execution is Hie test of our character and of our value to the community among whom we live. It is often more ditHcult in small things than in what seems In be great. For a young man or woman to turn away from degrading temptation amid the jeers of companions, requires often much stronger moral fibre than for a statesman to ipersleverc with a righteous but unpopular Bill in Parliament. Duties lie ever round us to do or to neglect.”

The business people of Levin depend for their prosperity on the farming industry of dhis and surrounding districts. We are looking hopefully for a rise in prices. Butter lias improved somewhat, but wool is still very low. We. require more revenue to meet the higher ■production costs; and higher taxation, and we hope that before very long prices will improve and prosperity will reign again throughout this fair land. \V : e are very optimisin' and are doing what we can as farmers In increase produeI inn."—Chronicle.

A Dunedin man laughingly asked his tobacconist if he had any tobacco that wouldn’t bite the longue. lie seemed to think he was asking an impossibility. ' Bui the tobacconist promptly replied that lie had several brands guaranteed to till the bill. “All the toasted New Zealand tobaccos,” he said, "are like that —-won’t burn the tongue even if you smoke them for hours at a stretch. Won’t afteet heart or nerves, cither. That’s because they are toasted. The toasting kills the nicotine to such a large extent that they are rendered perfectly harmless, and quite safe to smoke to any extent. They have a delicious flavour, too, and a ‘bouquet you can’t beat.” “What are the names of the brands?” was the next question. “Kivicrhend Gold,” “Cavendish,” “Navy Cut No. 3,” and “Cut Plug No. 10," replied the tobacconist, “they are the only toasted kinds manufactured, and far better than the imported which contain more nicotine than is good for any smoker.” The customer invested in a tin of toasted “Navy Cut.” Now he smokes nothing else. —Advt. 148.
