IMITATION is the sincerest form, ol flattery. The Chinese Revolution is but an imitation of the revolutions in Turkey and i'ortugal, both oi~ which have been successful. Chinawill drive the Manohu Dynasty out> aUH cl the country, and another ruler <H[ wili take his place, or a great many Chinamen will lose their heads. Imitation within, bound is> good, but imitation in trade affairs is despicable. Those who endeavour to sell teas in imitation of the famous Crescent Blend Tea put on, the market iby the Eimpire Tea, Company fail because they cannot produce thequality. Crescent Blend Tea is good all the time..
