THE ADULTERATION OF TEA,

In the London Lancet of August 10th we find
the result of the microscopical and chemical
analysis of forty-eight samples of tea:
OF the twenty-four specimens Of black tea
analyzed, every one was found to be genuine !;
OF like number of green teas all were adulte-
rated. The adulteratiOns are mainly a cOlOring
matter with which the tea leaf is faced, painted,
or glazed. FerrO cyanide of iron. or Prussian
blue, is the article most commonly used for this
purpose. Sometimes, however. indigo. kaOlin
or China clay. and turmeric powder were found
in addition. That species of tea which is denom-
mated gunpowder is adulterated in other ways,
by admixture with leaves not those OF tea, with
paddy husk. and particularly with - lie tea" so
called, a leaf which resembles the tea leaf close
ly, and is sent to this country from China in
vast quantities to be employed in adulterations
here. The cOloriug of the tea is almost entirely
done in China, and probably because it i'm
proves its appearance, and perhaps renders its
sale more sure and rapid.
Such is the result of a thorough analyz yzation
of this article by eminent scientific men in Eng
land, and it is certainly not very fattering to
fhn taste of til 900 Who drnh groom toa for tho
love of it. There is no such drtisle as an una
duiferated green tea. Let the lovers of the herb
remember that fact and as they sip the delicious
beverage and fancy they find in it "a solvent for
their aches and pains, let them also remember
that they are slipping with it solution of Prus-
sian blue and Indigo, as we'll as sundry other
little peccadiloes that neither add to its exhili-
rating properties, nor yet are entirely harmless
to the system. On the other hand the black
teas are not adulterated, and are the only ones
used by the Chinese. Knowing the impurities
that are in the best green teas, they send them
to foreign ports to tickle the delicate palates Of
81. .lsrl~N H. Al
who, in their view. fancy the bright, lively ap
they use.
The remedy for these wholesale adulterations
is easy. 1t is entirely in the hands of the tea
merchants. If they refuse to purchase the poi
soned leaf, the Cinnamon will very quickly stoI
adulterating it.

ACHIEVEMENTS OF MAJOR CAsEMENr-W
suppose the way Major Easement slipped biz
four hundred of the Seventh's ''boys" out OF
the Clutches OF Floyd with his five thousand. al
Cross Lanes, is one of the most brilliant feats of
the war
Easement was in command of the four hun

ment had rallied within circle that the enemy
were drawing around them. On each side a

down. the two to hem in the Seventh. and cut
OF the retreat to the South, that being the only
way the enemy supposed the Seventh could es-
cape Easement saw the tight place be was in,
aud brilliant idea flashed into his ready brain
The enemy on one side had passed down a little
below him, the force on the other We're about in
front and sweeping around he waited until this
last force had passed down in ii ont, then taking
the back track from the route the enemy sup
posed he would follow, the Major, with his four
hundred, slipped around the rear of this column
now on his leit small hill Intervening, ard
crossing their track in their rear. passed out
NOrtherly, while the enemy intently pressed to-
ward the South.
The Major. too. devised an admirable plan to
save favorite horse from the enemy. Arriving
at the top of the mountain that seemed impas-
sable down the opposite side, save for men who
could let themselves down by the underbrush
the question arose what should be done with
Easements horse. The Major saw no way to
get his pet down, and SO, declaring that he
should never fall into .secesh" hands, the horse
was brought to the precipice, and the Major
with assistance, pushed the beautiful animal of
TO certain destruction. On arriving at the foot
OF the mountain. they heard a friendly whinny
and there was Easement s horse cropping grass
he was somewhat scratched. but nevertheless al
