Too Bad

The makers of Pride of Japan tree teal
have advertised that Thos. Price, analytical
chemist of San Francisco, and Prof. 7. T.
Kingsbury of the University of Utah, have
given them certificates that the above brand
of tea is perfectly pure.
The deduction drawn from this analysis is,
that the Pride of Japan tea which you buy in
the stores is perfectly pure.
While it is quite possible to buy pure tea
like Schilzing's Bsr) and pack it in Pride of
Japan packages and submit it to chemists for
analysis; still we assert that the Pride of Jap
tea sold in this market is artihcially colored
with coloring matter.
We don't know how these endorsements
were secured; but it is pity that the names
of such eminent authorities should be used to
back up statements made in the advertisements
of Pride of Japan.
ScAiling's Best tea is not only guaranteed
pure, but it is such tea as you would drink
yourself if you knew all about it.
Besides it is money-back, and that is backing
enough in the long run.

CURIOUS q. S ARMY UNIFORMS OF THE PAST.

cloth breeches, high bearskin hats, or
"busbies and black leggins. The second
company, however. outdId the first in
magnificence by the adoption of white
shirts and silver buttons, In addition,
one must remember the long powdered
queues and clean-shaVen faces of the pc
rod. so as to form an adequate idea of
the imposing appearance Of these tall and
wel!-built sons of Mars. But think of a
soidieT wearing white stockings and
breeches.
WashIngton's own uniform as COM
mander in chief of the army was very
simple and unpretentious as compared
with General Miles latest turnout" He
prescribed for himself and his successors
long blue coat with gilt buttons and
epaulets, buff coiored facings breeches
and vest, and a plain three-cornered hat.
To prevent mistakes of identity, which
were constantly arising on account of the
similarity of dress among the superior
officers, the great leader wore a light blue
sash or riband between his coat and
Waistcoat: ma jors and brigadier generals
wore similar distinguishing sashes of
green. and aides de-camp of pink silk.
BARON STEUBEN'S PARTY.
An amusing account is given in the me-
moirs of the celebrated Baron de Steuben
of a dinner to which he fvited all the
young officers on General Washington 5
staff, with the sole condition that no one
who came should be in possession of an
entire suit of clothes. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to state that change of clothes
was a thing unknown and unGreamt OF
among these warriors. AS the baron him
self relates. a more picturesque or un-
usual party probably never surrounded
the mahogany lin this case doubtless an
array of deal boards and packing cases..
for. among the four and twenty ScionS of
wealthy colonial houses who were pres
ent there was not one that could boast a
whole pair of trousers.
