Tea has taken upon the popular taste during the brief space of time ill which it has been introduced into this colonv is due largely to the distinctive flavour which no other] tea shares with it.

It is now universally recogn'sed that if is a matter of sheer impossibility for the vast quantities of braudy which aiv annually exported from France to he the genuine product of the district of Cognac. The famous vineyards of Cognac arc of but limited extent, and it is well kuowu that they do not produce enough b.'audy to supply Europe, to say nothing of the world, We venture to nsscii that not a dozen casks of genuine Cognac grape brandy find their way to Australasia in as many years. The spirit consumed here as French braudy is nothing more nor less than a flavoured and coloured decoction which owes its origin more to the malt distiller/ than to the wine press, It is as deleterious as it is deceptive. It is not so, however, with Boomerang Brandy, which is a pure grape spirit of high quality produced in Victoria by Messrs Joshua Bros. Australian Braudy and" Boomerang" in particular has caught ou wonderfully of late and in a few years we quite believe that this genuine product of the sister Colony will completely oust its masquerading French rivals fro i\ the scene. " The British Medical Journal" is a publication whose opinion is worth taking and we would ask our readers to see for themselves, in another column what it has to say on the subject of Boomerang Brandy. L. J. Hooper and Co. notify the arrival of their first shipments of autumn and winter drapery, millinery, dress goods, jackets, mantles, macintoshes, etc.—Advt.
