"DON'T DO AS I SAY. DO AS I DO."

.WHAT THE STOREKEEPER DOES! This is a message that came to n* a few days ayo from a Storekeeper in a big town —"Send me a 101b box of your finest tea, regardless of price. I want it for our own use." Funny, wasn't it? His shelves groaned under tho of teas in packets of every kind, from tho brands that are muchly advertised to the brands that are packed bj wholesale grocers and not advertised at all, — friendly relations with the storekeeper are supposed to "move them off." Now, this man sold all these brands to the public—tho poor, long-suffering public, ; and very likely xooommcaded them too! But when ho wanted a tea lor |his «wn private use, it was "HONDAI ' LANKA," and the best at that. He 'knew a thing or two in tho Tea line, did the same grocer. Cheap tea and wholesale grocers' blonds were poml enough to SELL, but for his OWN use --"Thank vou, I'm for HONDAI LANKA!" Of course, lie was sensible. To bu.y cheap tea is just wasting; money. Nobody enjoys it. Flavorless tea spoils the meal, but a Tea like HONDAI LANKA, fresh from tho mountain, slopes of Coy lon, gives a «harm to any repast and makes one gratefully remark, "Isn't that splendid Teal" Doa't take your cue from wkat to* Storekeeper sells, but bay what ha uses himself, and iasist on the genHine HONDAI LANKA TEA.-(Adrt.)
