THE ADULTERATION OF TEA.
From the fareening i will be seen that the danger from adulterated teas, though real, isch paratively small, and that the guilt of scobistics. tion lles mars with the American jibber and grecer than with the Chinese grower or the European bong in the Flowery Kingdom. The selzare of the 'Ping-aney 1 texs by the authorities li the second case of its kind in six years. Seizures by Jocal boar1s of health in the same period aggregate over one hundred. The dis- proportion is not so great as it seems, for the reason that the two seizures involved several handed tons, while the hundred odd amounted in all to not over thirty fans.
"To avoid Interior reau, a few suggestions may be of interest. The best leaf to the Chinese.
"On the contrary, I'am delighted." "You lie again, coward, Yes Desma- new fingers twitched "why not strike me? You are perfectly secare, 1 cannot retaliato,"
"You speak boldly, knowing you are sufaj" "I wonder that your Indeence was not suffi clest to prevent this commutation. Can be that Captain Deamalines, the undaunted exrcu. tloner of guarmed miners, is no longer raona gratat But why prolong this laterview, Bonour for which I am even yet at a lɔsa to account ?"
Desmalines had borne the taunts quietly. His turn was coming.
"I will tell you,"
"Thanks,"
"On the day you are released-an hour after you leave this place to allow you time to dress and arrive at the church punctually I am to be married to Emilie Varny."
De Lesterre's face blanched, and he clutched at the wooden table for support.
"Well ?" he marmured at length, "I am sorry to see my news affects you so strongly," refined Desmalines, conversationally,
"Leave me, I beg'!"
"Not yet. After ibe wedding, sir, you will meet me with your own wespons. I shall be at Vincennes at two o'clock precisely. You under stand.
A change, as sudden as the previous one, came over De Lesterre. His despair had gone, the look of a great joy overspread his face.
*Thank you, I shall be there," was all he said, The year had nearly passed, and Emilie was preparing for the wedding. Desmaltaes bad not told her of the ceremony that was as quickly to follow the apptial" one.

But now, at the moment of the consummation of his revenge, a revulsion of feeling came over tim. The sight of his old familiar friend's pale Nagarski face and wisted frame, the knowledge of his own happiness and his rival's misery, the thought, too, that it would be a finor reveRKS to spare the life he had already saved-ill brought to his heart feelings of compassion and forgiveness

A fraction of a second divided the shots. Captain Desmalines fired in the air, and then

As they pried out, De Lesterre said quietly In the ear of a bystander, "I suppose I am Indebted to you for this, Captala Dezmalices."
"Your opinions are your own, inousleur" replied the other with a sbrug, "Nevertheless you lie."
"I have read that in England they shoot caged birds. Tis e courageous sport, almost good as insulting caged men," said De Lestere lightly and, as he passed through, ha struck the other man on the face.
Desmalines turned pale, and involuntarily touched his sword but be controlled himself, "Sheol caged birds, do they?" he mattered, "I wish mine were the shot that would make you carrion,"
Yet not a year ago Captain Demmalines and Lieutenant De i esterne wèto close friends. Then they met Emilio Varny, and there was a bitter quarrel in which each swore to be revenged on the olber.
Young De Lesterre was, in spile of his arieto- cratie birth, an ardent. Socialist. Some time after the hostility between the Lieutenant and Desmalines had become acate, the regiment the captata commended, and in which De Lesterre was his subordinste, was ordered north to quell a miners' riot. The men were on strike, became holsterous, and then plitage began. Captala Desmalines without much ado determined to fire on them. He, being engaged with another detachment, sent a message to Lleatinant De Lesterre, the second in command, to fire" ball cartridge." This the headstrong young officer refaxed flatly to do, and harangued the men instead.
This was the reason of the court-martial; this the reason of the sentence of death.
Emilia was sining at her window, masing "Lieutenant De Lesterre sentenced to death!"
The shouts of the newsboys were heard in the distance. She turned pale, and left the window suddenly. Her boy-lover to die! De Lasters had never been so dangerous a rival to Deama- lines-who was to be her husbandwas at this moment
