Because twice 11 is twenty-two, and twice 10 is twenty too. Where can you get really yood Indian Tea ? From John Earle and Co., Tea Merchants, 207, Queen-steet, Auckland. Why should we consider a barrister always to be poor ? Because he is always pleading for money. Where abouts in Queen-street. Auckland, is John Earle & Co.'s wonderful Tea #hop ? No. 207, and next to Arthur's Mart. Which of Shapspere's plays does a political meeting oft remind one ot? Much ado about nothing. What is the secret of John Earle and Co.'s great success ? They are professional tea experts they import largely; they purchase with ready money, and so get great bargains ; they have improved machinery for blending the teas, and they put their own labour into the business, thus giving their customers every possible benefit. Where does the Queen meet with the coolest reception? At the Post-office, where her head is put into a bag and carried in any given direction.
