King Solomon’s Wives.

Solomon, King of the Jews, had a reputation for wisdom, also for the number of wives ho possessed. But it will be noticed that as the number of hie wives increased, his reputation for wisdom decreased. Now, this is a point well worth the attention of the new woman, a* If Solonioh’s wiv<-8 had b un real, up-to-date “ &«w women,” he would very likely have been a monogemistv tike-the rest of us. Fancy thd cost of bicycles for the lot i Why, it would have been simply ruinous, and if he had, : into the bargain, to supply Afternoon tea, be might have bad to double the taxes. Now, how did these women get over poor Solomon? We know how . the ladies of Dunedin get the best of their « 1 Solomons.” When the aforesaid (local) “Solomon” Comes home tirtd and jaded, the “ Haus Frau'* masks a brew of that delicious O?ylon packed HotidaiLanka Tea, and by the time he gets through two or three cjips, he is as pliable and gensrous-heartcd as the old King himself. • Gold was plentiful etadngh tith the old Bing, but yon ainV dHnk gold, and in thbae dayathere was ao Hondaitanka Tea.

The iea-bleUders, seeing their big teamadding profits in danger through the superior value the consuifier of HoudabLanka and ether Ceylon tea?, tried bard last year by humbly petition* •ng Parliament to increase the ‘duty on the p'Ure teas packed in Ceylon* tod thug give an Unfair advantage to thbae who manufacture blends. Their attempt failed completely-. Parliament 'and our far-seeing Premier 'he interests of pure food) rejected their selfish prayers. Some brands of blends are better than others, and fairly honest; outers are vile and trashy. Why run any risk 'I Buy only the teas macbine-pAcked in the - World’s choicest tea gardens, iu sunny,.
