The analyst warns consumers that tea packed m small tins, owing to its very absorbent nature, is very liable to become impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous tor human consumption, snd advises that the very safest package to purchase is that paoknd ia lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment, Thia style of packet ia quite impervious to the air, ud tea so packed has been known to retain al its aroma and strength for a period of are yean.'

There are Imitations of Eucalypti Extract m the market, products of airnpla distillation forming crude reainoati oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, whioh is reeogniued by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pura origin, as par information forwarded to us through tho Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1873, we > (ate :— It is proved by tuts by the Medical Clinics of the Universities ab Bonn and Graifawald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohala, Professor j »f Parmaoology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Monier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifiwald, that only products that are Mturated with oxygen aad freed o! aoids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant Allcrude oils, or so sailed Euoalypti Extraoti *retobe classed aocording to the named <iathorities, among the turpenoines, whioh are abandoned long since as au internal medicament. These crude oils, or so oalled Euoalypti Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced m specifio density through toe presence of acids. 8 By theirtaste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so called euoalypti extract*, are applied by mistake ia cases of flronp, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nfomations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.

fts well oall you by thai name until I find your true one." "Yes, I suppose co. As what I shall do during the next 48 hours, why, I think I may as well devote myself to seeing tho sights. It is a remarkably pleasant day for a stroll, and I think I Will visit yonr beautiful Central park.'' "A capital idea. By all means I would advise occupation of that kind. It would be best not to do any business until your memory ia restored to you." "Business? Why, of course I can do |o business." "No; if you were to order any goods, for example, under the name of Reming ton, later on, when yon resume your proper identity, you might be arrested as an Impostor." "By George, I had not thought of that! My position Is more serious than J had realized. I thank you for the warning. Sightseeing will assuredly be my safest plan for the next two days." "I think so. Call at the time agreed upon and hope for the beii If I should need you before then, I will send to your hotel." Then saying "Good morning," Mr. Barnes turned to his desk again, and as the stranger looked at him before stepping out of the room the de tective seemed engrossed with some pa pers before him. Yet soaroely had the door closed upon the retreating form of his recent visitor when Mr. Barnes looked up with an air of expectancy. A moment later a very tiny bell m a draw er of his desk rang, inaioating that the | man had left the building, the signal having been sent to him by one of his employees, whose business it was to wafcoh all departures and notify his chief. A few moments later Mr. Barnes himself emerged, olad m an entirely different suit of clothing and with euoh alteration m the color of his hair and I beard that more than a casual glanoe would have been required to recognize him. When he reached the street, the etranger was nowhere m sight, but Mr. Barnes went to a doorway opposite, and there he found Written m blue pencil the word "up," whereupon he walked rapidly up town as far as the next cor ner, where once more he examined a doorpost, upon which he found the word "right," which indioated which way the men ahead of him had turned. Beyond this he could expeot no sig nals, for the spy shadowing the stran ger did not know positively that his chief would take part m the game. The two signals which he had written on the doors were merely a part of a routine and intended to aid Mr. Barnes should he follow, but if he did so be would be expected to be m sight of the spy by the time the signal were reached. And so it proved m this instance, for as Mr. Barnes turned the corner to the right he easily discerned his man about two blocks ahead and presently was near enough to see Remington also. The pursuit continued until Mr. Barnes was surprised to see him enter . the park, thus carrying out his inten tion as stated m his interview with the detective. Entering at the Fifth avenue gate, he made his way toward the men -1 agerie, and here a curious incident oo ! ourred. The stranger had mingled with the crowd m the monkey house and was enjoying the antics of the mischievous little animals when Mr. Barnes, getting close behind him, deftly removed a pocket handkerchief from the tail of his coat and swiftly transferred it to his own. On the day following, shortly before noon, Mr. Barnes walked quiokly into the reading room of the Fifth Avenue hotel. In one corner there is a hand some mahogany oabinet, containing three compartments, each of which is en-







Deftly removed a pocket handkerchief. fcered through double doors, having glass panels m the upper half. About these panelß are draped yellow silk cur tains, and m the center of each appears a white porcelain numeral. These com partments are used as public telephone stations, the applicant being shut m, so as to he free from the noise of the outer room. Mr. Barnes spoke to the girl m charge and then passed into the compartment numbered 8. Less than five minutes later Mr. Leroy Mitohel came into the reading room. His keen eyes peered about him, scanning the countenances of those busy with the papers or writ ing, and then he gave the telephone girl a number and went into the compart- ' ment numbered 1. About ten minutes elapsed before Mr. Mitchel came out again, and having paid the toll he left the hotel When Mr. Barnes emerged, there was an expression of extreme sat isfaction upon his face, and without lingering he also went out. But instead of following J£r. Mitohel through the main lobby to Broadway he orossed the reading room and reached Twenty-third street through the side door. Thence he proceeded to the station of the elevated railroad and went up town. Twenty minutes later he was ringing the bell of Mr. Mitchel's residence. The buttons who answered his summons informed him that his master was not at home. "He usually oomes m to luncheon, however, does he not?" asked the de | ieotive.
