THE POK WAH TREE.
II Grows in Bushnell Park and China
men Like Its Nauseating
Fruit.

There was an expression OF supreme
contentment on the face of the China
man as he sat under tree in Bushnell
park the other afternoon picking up
fruit that had fallen from it. His loose
blouse and wide pantaloons Tapped -ni
the wind and his pigtail described cir
cles, triangles, all manner of lines, and
various other geometrical forms as it
yielded to the ftful gusts Of wind lf
was chilly enough, and Officer Strick-
land, as he looked at the industrious
Chinaman, did not feel his heavy blue
overcoat bit uncomfortable. But the
Chinaman did not seem to mind i--e-
wind in the least. His teeth might
chatter, his nose might take on blush
tint, and his fingers might suffer from,
numbness, but he continued his work
with unremitting industry and kept his
happy look unclouded by anything
that was even suggestive of unhappi-
ness. It was evident he was engaged
in task that he liked. The fruit had
a very offensive odor and the Chinaman
handled it in nauseating manner. He
had a fair-sized basket, into which he
threw the stones of the fruit, leaving
the soft substance which covered It on
the turf. His hands were besmeared
with the substance.
In reply to the questions of Officer
Strickland and a Times reporter, the
Chinaman said the tree which yielded
the fruit was called the Pok Wah tree
in China. The fruit is considered a.
del:cacy in tie celestial kingdom, and
even Ii Hung Chang-the statesman
that can look wise and ask embarrass-
ing questions Of a personal nature
considers himself in luck when his
chef serves him with dish Of the fruit
The outer substance, which is nauseat
ing to the stomach Of anyone but a
Chinaman, is made into Chinese catsup-
that always occupies a position OF
honor at the mandarin's table when
birds nests, sharks fins and other Ap-
petizing dishes are served. The meat
of the stones has a medicinal property
of high value. The Chnaman, whom
Officer Strickland called Charley" a.
name which seems a fayorite one in the
nomenclature of Cinnamon, stated that
| in China the stones of the fruit are
cooked just as we cook chestnuts, and,
that after they are boiled they ares
| opened and the meat taken out.
A lady passed through the park later
in the afternoon. Seeing the Chinaman
picking up the fruit she was curious to
see what it seemed like. She took one
of the plums-if the sweet, luscious
fruit of the American orchard is NOS.
disgraced by applying its name to the
disgusting thing of Chinese lineage
that resembles it-and broke it OPEN.
The stencil from it was SO strong that
she dropped 1t Immediately. She wore
gloves which she was obliged to dis
/ card in order to free herself from the
offensive odor.
There are three of these trees IN
Bushnell park, but only one yields,
fruit. Officer Strickland calls them
the Chinese plum trees. = Hartford

Sometimes porgie in a tank may,
when frightened, jump out of water
and bump its nose against the wire
screen over the tank and be seemingly
paralyzed by the shock and rendered
unable 10 swim. In such a condition il
will lie upon its back, motionless, eX-

for an hour, and then il may come
back all right again and swim about
so lively and in such good form that
YOU can't tell then which fish Of the

uncommon among fishes but there are
perhaps more blind porgies than there

LENT IN PARIS.
Marked Contrast between the Lib
erty of the Present Day and
100 Years Ago.

Cardinal Richard allows Parisians
during Lent a regimen that is not very
hard. They may have meat every day
except Wednesdays and Fridays, though
never meat and fish at the same repast;
eggs every day, except during he last
three days, and the poor are au,-orized
TO use fat for their cooking. We are
here very far from the extraordinary
regimen that once ruled Paris in this
matter. Up to the very moment of the
revolution it was the prefecture of po-
lice that forced q Leuten diet on Paris,
and a very rigorous one it was. The
butchers shops were closed and the
police spent their 10 days in nosing
round the kitchens TO see if they smelled
meat. 1t was thus, as history records
Marquis de Bauffremont had her kitch-
en- invaded and all the succulent
viands with which it was stuffed con-
fscated for the benefit Of the Hotel
Dieu, which alone had the privilege of
possessing meat in Lent, and this, of
course, for the purpose of dealing it
out 10 the sick.
