I, 1t 1t seems proper to merchants Of high |
standing to advertise or label colored teas
as strictly pure" natural leaf" and
pure natural leaf"-feeling justified per-
haps by poetic license how poetic must
be those teas that are weighed out by the
pound, that the maker doesn't even think
enough Of to put his name on
gs,Yes, these teas are colored. In proof
of this we hereby offer to any charitable
institution of this State, that three promi-
nent grocers of this county may select
$1,000 if we cannot prove to the satlsfac-
ton of competent chemist chosen by
these grocers, that the teas named at the
foot of this advertisement are colored.
But maybe you don't mind drinking
colored tea; maybe you are entirely in
different as to what you eat or drink ;
maybe you won't even take the trouble
Of trying SchtIhngS Best though you
know you will get your money back if
you don't like it.
Very well Tea-selers can stand it
as long as you can. They have no fault
to find with the profits on colored tea.
To be sure, they would make more
money on pure tea, because you would
drink more pure tea; but they haven't
found that out yet.

BAPTIsTE AND FHE BEAR.
He Got Into the Wrong Family ana
Had Narrow Escape.
From the Arposv

ut was one very cold night, monsieur"
said Baptiste, of wolf and villa Tur-
key" celebrity, and as I had lost my
rife, as well as the pouch containing the
flint and steel, In shooting a rapid,
couldn't get a fire. So I climbed a rot
ten hemlock, the top of which had been
blown off by the wind, and let myself
down into the hollow; but 1 had no
sooner done this than 1 saw that there
was no time to be lost in getting up again,
for my life wasn't worth a pinch Of
powder l had lighted among a litter Of
bears cubs, and, thinking l was their
mamma come back from a foraging ex-
pedition with something nice for sup
Der, they began to sniff about me and
pat my legs with their paws. Then, find
ing their mistake, they set up a pro-
digious howl by way of signal to their
interesting parent that all was not right
at home; that a guest had dropped in,
and had better be politely asked to walk
out again.
Now 1 knew that lady bear, with
select party of sons and daughters, was
not the pleasantest person possible to
meet, so L didn't need second notice to
quit, nor care how soon l was off the
premises. 1t was no very easy matter,
however, to climb the inside of the tree,
for there was very little hold for ones
claws, and had not made my way above
a yard or so when / saw the stars sudden
" blotted out above, and a large dark
object coming down right upon the top
of me. 1t was the old she bear descending
tail first, Just as q man would come down
a ladder. What was to be done? Escape
was hopeless with the whole of the inside
of the tree blocked up; and yet, If / was
caught there, knew l should be torn to
pieces in five seconds. An awkward posi-
ton, monsieur" u
well" said 1, land what did you do
Baptiste?"
why, there was only one thing to be
done, monsieur, and that I did. My long
hunting knife was, fortunately for me, In
