"John Chinaman" still lives in tbe elevated, and forever descending streams from countless spouts. Few men have left deeper marks on the interior of tea* pots than " John." He arrived in China about the third century after Noah with all his belongings—pxoept his family— tied to a yellow bamboo. He felt immediately that more was wanted, and with a sagacity deserving remembrance he projected two strong counteracting forces to the destruction of vitality —a wholesome beverage in the " cup that cheers! " —a very superior Tea, and the nourishing food called Rice. He set up an establishment in Ching Chow Foo for tbe production and consumption of these articles. A long time after him follows J. E. Hansen with a large and varied stock ef teas selected specially lor his trade, and imported from the linea descendants of the real original " John.' Prices range from Is 9d, 2s, 2s 6d, 3s, 3s 6d, according to quality. No " same" ness," each Tea is distinct from the other, and worth its price leaving no room for improvement. Can anyone of age or understanding contemplate the above with* out buying their Tea at this establishment?
