The curious habit so common in America of popping an unlighted cigar in the mouth and chewing an inch or two of :t to pulp, is not popular with us, although the olicwing of black plug tobacco is common cough amongst sailors everywhere. However, with tlio rank, and file., of Englishmen, “the pipe’s the thing,” and a source of enjoyment, daily, to millions. But discrimination should bo exercised in the cl'.oice of tobacco. Brands full of nicotine (as the American tobaccos usually are), ought to be cut out, because nicotine is the source of all tho mischief when tobacco proves injurious. Our New Zealand grown tobaccos are about tho purest going and contain only a trilling percentage of nicotine — a negligible quantity. That is why you caii go on smoking them all the time with the utniost safety. ... They won’t do you any harm. Anil they are dc-' lightfully fragrant. You can get them of any strength. Ask for “liiverhead Gold,” mild; “Navy Cut” (Bulldog), medium; nr “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullsheud), full strength.
