commuters, was greatly puzzled the

took their hats off to the ticket taker in
the most polite style.
The stranger thought that possibly
the ticket takers wife was in the box
with him, and he went back to look
again. There was no one in the box
save the ticket taker, who looked good
natured, but not imposing. When his
friend arrived, the stranger said:

road in that boxp
Certainly not. Why do you ask such
a question:
why, every man who passes him
takes his hat off, gives him a marching
salute and walks on"

strangers ignorance and said it was a
trick of the Erie commuters to carry
their tickets in the crown of their hats
They took their hats off so that the

Olives.

The olive tree i'm it's wild state is a
thorny shrub or small tree. but when
cultivated becomes a tree 30 TO 40 feet
high, with no thorns. 1t lives to n good
age. The leaves resemble those of a
willow, the flowers are small and white
and grow in clusters as grapes do, and
the fruit is greenish. whitish, violet
or even black i'm color and generally
oval in shape. 1t is produced in great
profusion, so that an old olive tree be-
comes very valuable to its owner.
Among the Greeks the olive was
sacred to Minerva, the goddess of wis
dom. 1t was also the emblem of pu-
rity. a crown of olive twigs was the
highest honor that could be bestowed
upon Greek citizen. An olive branch
was also the symbol of peace, and
the vanqushed who came to beg for
peace bore olive branches in their
hands.
The American olive is remarkable
for the hardness OF its wood. 1t Is
found rs far north as Virginia. Its
fruit is fit for use, and its flowers are
fragrant.
The fragrant olive of China and ia
pan has extremely fragrant flowers,
which are used for flavoring tea.

why Roads Are Crooked In China.

The Chinese road Is private property,
strip taken .yom somebody's land.
This is done much against the will of
the owner, since he not only loses the
use of ii, but also still has to pay taxes
on it,
One consequence is that ii Is wide
enough for only one vehicle, and carts
can pass one another only by trespass-
ing on the cultivated land. To prevent
this the farmers dig deep bitches by
the roadside. AS the surface wears
away and the dust blows off it gradu-
ally grows lower, and after awhile 1t
becomes drain for the surrounding
fields. A current forms In the rainy
season, which still further hollows It
out, and thus has arisen the proverb
that a road a thousand years old be-
comes river.
Those whose lands are used for roads
naturally prefer to have the roads run
along the edge of their farms instead
OF cutting across them, and this ac-
counts for the fact that Chinese roads
are often so crooked that one may
have TO go n considerable distance to
reach place that is in reality but
few miles away. This always interests
the stranger.-Church Eclectic.

Chinese Method Of Measuring

Many travellers returning from China
have commented upon the apparently
singular lack Of knowledge OF - dis.
tances across their country or bN-weea
their towns that exists among the Chi
nese. III at one town you inquire the
distance 10 the next, you may be told
that Ii is 20 Ii tone third OF "A MILE, bur
upon arriving at the town you will be
surprised TO find the distance back TO
the town from which you have Just
come is "a Ii and that the cost of jour
neying back again is correspondence
greater than the cost TO go to it.
The Chinese measure distance not by
rule, but by the amount of physical en-
ergy required to traverse them. Their
wage is based OH unit of energy, the
amount that il takes them to carry n
given load, one picul one II, on level
ground. If the road from A TO Il il
down hill, the distance is regarded as
less than the actual linear distance be-
cause it is supposed to take less energy
to travel i'm that direction, or as the
Chinese say, "the Ii are short" 1t nat
urally follows that in travelling I'm the
other direction, from back to A. the
road being gradual ascent, n greater
expenditure of energy is necessary.
'The Ii are long" and in order to get Il
fair compensation for their work the
carriers must see that the distance and
the charges are correspondingly in
creased. With this explanation what
has often appeared as vagary of the
Chinese becomes simple and reasona-
ble.-Leslie's Weekly.

The Queen and Jenny Lind.

There is n pretty story told of Queen
Victoria and Jenny Lind which shows
how the modesty of two women, the
song. caused a momentary awkward
ness which the gentle tact of the singer
overcame.
1t was on night when Jenny Lind
was to sing at Her Majesty's Opera
House that the queen made her first
public appearance after the memorable
Chartist day
For the great artist. too, this was a
first appearance. for 1t was the begin
ming of her season at place where the
year before she had won unparalleled
fame 1t happened that the queen en-
tered the royal box at the same mo-
ment that the prima donna stepped up
on the stage. Instantly tumult of ac-
clamation burst forth.
Jenny Lind modestly retired TO the
back of the stage. waiting till the DEM
onstration OF loyalty to the sovereign
should subside. The queen. refusing to
appropriate to herself that which she
imagined to be intended for the artist.
made no acknowledgment.
At length. when the situation became
embarrassing. Jenny Lind, with ready
tact, ran forward to the footlights and
sang God Save the Queen" which
was caught up at the end of the solo by
the orchestra, chorus and audience.
The queen then came to the front Of
her box and bowed, and the opera was
