Tourists in Mexico expressed approval of the drink as supplied there, but, exported, it appears to lose its properties. Many amatours in England and in America tried bottle Pulque and bring it homo, but they found that this was impossible. Pulque refused to leave its native soil and remain in good condition.

To remedy this Dr. Leopold Nathan, of the High School of Tachhical Studios of Munich and President of the Institute. Nathan of Zurich, was sent out to examine the situation. He has since arrived in London and in the course of an interview at the Savoy stated

Cigarettes Tipped With Pansy Petals.

"The taste for tobacco ingreaSOB as life becomes more complicated and difficult," declared Viscount Burnham in opening the Tobacco Exhibition at Olympia recently. Tobacco is more and more the solace of civilisation-the great tranquilliser of the human mind." The Exhibition, one of the most varied for years, was certainly a monument to his words.

There were rast" cabinets housing as many, as 12,000 cigars, and others, accom- modating up to 5,000, with the Guildball, Temple Bar, and Royal Exchange realistically carved in cedar.

In one latest type of cigarette- holder the cigaretta, instead of being placed in that usual cavity, is impaled on a hollow needle, which automatically extinguishes it when it has burnt to a certain point.
