ADULrERArED TEA.

A London pape;, giving an account Of
the manner In which tea is adultersted
alter Its importation, furnishes the fol-
lowing information Of the manner in
which the trade is carried on in China:
The dishonesty Of adulterating tea is
not. however, confined to this country.
1t often unde, goes q strange process of
transmutation before it reaches the hands
Of the English dealer. The Chinese are
not at all behind us in practices of dis
honesty, and the genuine and fraudulent
tea trades flourish in China with almost
equal vigor. The people of that coun.
try have long enjoyed an unenviable pre-
eminence for their success in ingenious
deceptions. Recent travellers have con-
frmed the well-known testimony of Sir
Francis Davis. in reference to the exten-
siye expectation of adulterated teas by
the natives. He speaks of a regular
mandatory for the production of spu-
rious green teas, which, with the most
daring efrontsry, has been erected ex-
actly opposite the European factories at
Canton, on the other side of the river.
lie naturally found some difficulty in
procuring admission within its precincts,
but his object was at length effected
through the influence OF Hong Kong
merchant, and the scene is thus de-
scribed:
In the first place, large quantities of
black tea, which had been damaged by
the foods of the previous autumn, were
seen drying in baskets, placed over hot
pan, of charcoal. The dried leaves were
than transferred in portions OF q few
pounds each, to q number of cast iron
pans, which are placed over furnaces.
They were next stirred rapidly round
with the hand by workma !, who had
previously added small quantity of tur.
meric, which impaired yellowish tinge
to the mixture. In order to convert this
into a green hue, the color so much de-
sired, some Jumps of prussian blue and
gypsum were added in such proportions
as REDUCED the dark blue to light shade,
of which small teaspoonful was added
to the yellowish leaves. These were
then stirred before the fire until the tea
had taken the fine bloom color of hy-
son, with very much the same scent.
The transformed leaves were then picked,
Sifted, chopped small, and supplied to the
merchants as excellent young hyson."

lied Down AT HoNE.-A friend of
ours, living not far from Pontise, was one
day importuned by his wife to take her
to riIe. The gentleman being q man
Of business, pleaded his engagements,
when the wife replied with the old story,
that she must be "tied down at home"
The husband replied that if any person
would furnish him with clothing to wear
and enough to eat and drink, he would
be willing to be tied down at home.
A few days after, the gentleman came
home earlier than usual, and being ia
tigued, lay dow on the sofa and fell into
q sound sleep. His wife took cords and
slyly tied his hands together, served his
feet in the same way, and made him fast
to the sofa. She then set q table with all
that the house afforded, and placed an
extra suit within his reach. This done,
she started to pay friend visit Upon
her returning late in the evening, she
found her subject Of domestic discipline
in the same position, except he was wide
awake and very mad.
What on earth does all this meant"
said he,
Nothing" quietly remarked his wife,
except the consummation ofyour earth
ly wishes-enough to eat, drink and
wear, and to be tied down at home"
They were seen out riding the next
day.

PAPER MAKING.-The following facts
connected with the business of paper ma.
king are derived from the " Year Book of
Facts for 1885,:
There are in the United States $50
paper mills in actual operation, having
5000 engines, and producing in the year
2IO. 100000 pounds Of paper, which is
worth at 10 cents per pound S27, 900, 900.
To produce this quantity Of paper 405,-
OO0,OOO pounds of rags are required, IL
pounds of rags being necessary to make
pound ofpaper. The value of these
rags at 4 cents per pound, is S16, 200 900.
The cost oflabor rs Il cents upon each
pound Cf paper manufactured, and is,
therefore, S3,375,000. The cost ofpaper
and rags united is Sl9, ZOO. The
cost of manufacturing aside from labor
and rags, is S4,050,000, which makes
the total cost S23, ,625,000, of msnufsc-
turing paper werth S27 900 600. We
import rags for this manufacture from 26
different countries, and the amount in
1853 was 25, ,766 pounds, worth 1882 S37.
Italy is the greatest source ofsupply, be-
ing more than one fifty of the whole
amount, but the supply has been grad
uallY falling of every year. From Eng
land We imported 2,666 .005 pounds in
1851. The cost of imported rags has
been as follows: 3 6l-100 cents;
1851, 8 10000; 1852. 43-100 cents;
1858. 2 $4,000 cents. The consump-
ton of paper in the United States is
equal to that of England and France to-
gether.

PINE Hit, March 4th, 1854.
DR.. c. M. JACKSON, Philadeiphis-Dear SIR:
have been subject of Dyspepsia, in its worst rm,
for the last five years. Such my condition for
twelve months that The physicians and all who saw
me said must die. While in this condition, was
carried TO the watering places i'm Virginia, Tennes-
see and North Carolina, hut was not benefited by
any water to which was taken. While on my
way home, stopped Il week at RuthenordtOn, a
small village in North Carolina, try the effect Of
some Chalybeate water in that place. About the
last of the week, went into a drug store TO get
some medicine for my child and myself. There
were several of the village physicians in the store
and enc of them seemed to take some interest in my
case and, after asking me some questions, said he
had been a dyspeptic, and had been grra1y bene-
