The olive tree in it's wild state Is
thorny shrub or small tree, but when
cultivated becomes tree 20 to 40 feet
high, with 70 thorns. 1t lives to a 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 in color and generally
oval in shape. It 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 vanquished who came to beg for
peace bore olive branches in their
hands.
The American olive is remarkable
for the hardness Of it's wood. It is
found as far north as Virginia. Its
fruit is fit for use, and it's flowers are
fragrant.

Chinese Method OF EIeasr-ing.

Many travellers returning from China
have commented upon the apparently
singular lack OF knowledge OF the dis
tances across their country or between
their towns that exists among the Chi
nese. If at one town you inquire the
distance to the next, You may be told
that it is 20 Ii (one-third Of mile), but
upon arriving at the town you will be
surprised to find the distance back to
the town from which you have just
come is q Ii and that the cost OF jour
neying back again IS correspondinSly
greater than the cost to so 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 on l unit OF energy, the
amount that it takes them to carry a
given load, one picul one Ii. Gn level
ground. If the road from 4 to B is
down hill, the distance is regarded as
less than the actual linear distance be-
cause it is supposed to take less energy
to travel in that direction, or, as the
Chinese say, ''the Ii are short 1t nat.
urally follows that in travelling in the
other direction, from B back to \, the
road being gradual ascent. q greater
expenditure of energy is necessary.
The Ii are long" and in order TO get
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 a vagary Of the
Chinese becomes simple and reasona-
ble.-LeSlie'S Weekly.

Polite Erie Commuters.

A stranger who had an appointment
to meet friend in the Chambers street
ferry house, which is used by Erie
commuters, was greatly puzzled the
other afternoon by the actions Of the
men who. passed the ticket takers win
dow. Nearly three-fourths Of them
took their hats of to the ticket tal;er 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:
rs that the president Of the Erie
road in that boz?"
Certainly not. Why do you ask such
a question:
why. every man who passes him
takes his hat of, gives him a marching
salute and walks on"
The friend smiled pityingly at the
strangers ignorance and said it vas
trick Of the Erie commuters to carry
their tickets in the crown Of their hats.
They took their hats of so that the
agent might see the ticket.-New York

The latest political sensation
IS the refusal of General Wade
Hampton 20 accept the Columbia
postuasrarship when it had not
been onered to him, and the only
ground for the report is, that a
devoted friend of General Hamp-
tons approached Senator Nc
Laurin and asked if he would
endorse General Hampton for
that position, Senator McLaurin
consented to give his endorse
ment if the General desired the
place; now comes the newspa-
pers endeavoring to make politi-
cal capital out of the incident by
trying to create the impression
that McLaurin was trying to buy
Hampton's support.
When General Hampton was
approached with the rumor he
was made to believe that itmeant
a tender of a bribe, and the old
hero, not having had the matter
presented to him in its true light,
at once Indignantly refused, say
ing that he would not even con-
slider a proposition from such a
source. General Hampton has
not forgotten that McLaurin
seconded the nomination of J. L.
NJ. Irby who was elected to sue
ceedHampton, nor has he forgiven
him. We regret that those who
in the kindness of their hearts
wanted to aid General Hampton,
did not acquiant him of the sit
uation before asking the aid Of
Senator McLaurin,. if they had,
in all probability their desires
would have been gratifed, and
General Hampton saved the en-
barrassment of refusing that
which had not been offered him.

We regret to learn that a few
of our best friends are disposed
to predict direful consequences
to US politically, if we persist in
asking for free and an untram-
meled discussion of public ques-
tons. Now we desire to say here,
and now, that as long as our head
keeps warm we intend to exer-
else our best Judgment, and friend
nor foe can influence Us against
what we think right.
AS to the questions at issue be-
tween Senators Tillman and
McLauriu, we have not taken up
the cause of either, because we
propose to wait and learn, for
ourself which of them is right,
but we insist on fair play and on
not convicting Senator McLau-
rim until the people have had an
opportunity to hear him. We re-
gard Tillman a great man, and
have supported him as Loyalty as
any man in the State, but at the
same time this does not blind US
to his faults. Tillman has his
preiudices and faults as other
men, and so has McLaurin, and
this being so, we want to under
stand what we are doing before
we condemn. We do not pro-
pose to condemn McLaurin be-
cause Tillman wants it so, nor
do we propose for either of them
to do our thinking for US, when
we hear them we will be our own
Judge as which is right or wrong,
and as long as both claim to be
Democrats we want the primary
open to them.

How to Treat nm Umbrella.

Umbrellas will not last forever, hut if
well taken care of viii last twice as long
as is ordinarily the case. This does not
mean that you are not TO run the point
down crack and break it off. nor does
it mean that you must hang it away in
the closet
Hanging it away is about as bad a
thing as you can do for it. If the UNI
brella is of good silk, it will break in the
croases. If you use an umbrella every
day, you may have it closed when not in
use, but if used only occasionally il should
be left open
If your umbrella is colorcd and looks
spotted when few drops Of rain have
fallen ON it, do not grow sad about it,.
Next time there is shower open it ont
in the rain and let it spot all over.
Always dry an umbrella with the ham
die down and then wipe the latter pa.t
dry. Drying with the ferrule down keeps
the dampness in the silk and soon Spoils
it. After using an umbrella wipe the
handle with a channels skin. and if the
silk gets dirty or muddy sponge it off
with warm water, using mild soap and
piece of cloth of the same color.

Feeding the Baby.

In modifying milk for infants water is
usually the diluent, but cows milk, even
when diluted with water. will sometimes
form tough curds in the stomach, and it
often becomes necessary to use something
else In this case gruels may be used-in
fact. during the summer gruels are to be
preferred to water Barley, wheat, rice
or oat flour may be used to make Cruel
Mix from two to four teaspoonfuls of the
flour in a little cold water and rub into a
smooth paste, then pour slowly into a
quart of boiling water Boil for 10 min
uteS. stirring constantly to prevent
scorching. The Cruel should be perfectly
smooth; if at all lumpy, strain through
coarse piece of cheesccloth or fine wire
sieve; add u pinch of salt. 1t should be
made fresh every day. If whole or flax
ed cereals are used, it will need to cook
twice as long.
Cruel can also be made in a double
boiler by cooking longer. When the food
is to be heated for the infant. do so hy
setting the bottle in a pan of hot water
for a few moments. The plug of cotton
should not be removed until the food is
ready to be given to the baby. As soon
as the food is taken the bottle and nipple
should be thoroughly rinsed and the bot
tie left standing full of cold water. The
nipple should he placed in cup contain
ing little bOraX or soda hicarbonate
and water. Bottles should be thoroughly
washed in hot soap and water and boiled
once day: also thoroughly scalded lust
before filling with the food.-Alarianna

how elegant a dress may be, if it is not

is broad and short, the hair should be
pushed back plainly on the side ana puff

and angular or if it is emaciated, the hair
should be pulled on the sides.

length with an undersleeye of some soft
material coming down below. This also
helps to take off the look of angularity.

should first make Il study of it. For in

The most important point in the treat
nent of burns is at once to exclude the
air. Cotton wool saturated with sweet
oil is a safe and effective application. Do
not remove the dressing until the irrita-
ton has subsidized. In the country mothers
often cover their children's burns with
flour. In serious cases mixture of
sweet oil and molasscs is favored. Vase
line will sometimes be sufficient. If the
air be kept away, nature will generally
restore the tissue without other assist
ance.
Table oil or FRESH butter rubbed lmme-
diately on a slight bruise will prevent
swelling or Disagreement. But if the
bruise be severe, of course, a little raw
beefsteak is better. \ slight bruise may
often be best treated by compress wet
with witch hazel.
The first thing to do with a sprain is to
apply water as hot as can be borne, and
repeat until the pain is gone. The hot
water may be showered on the sprain, or
wet cloths may be used if frequently re-
viewed. The foot or ankle can be conven-
iently immersed in the hot water The
next thing is to keep the injured part
thoroughly warm. This is done by wind
ing it with wadding or flannel. The less
a sprained limb is used, TIE quieter it is
Kept, the more likely it is to get well
quickly.

A habit of rubbing little cold cream
about the eyes ut night, especially at the
outer corners. is advised as method of
keeping away wrinkles. Rubbing with
fingers just Il little moist with coldNcrcdm
under the chin keeps the throat fresh
and firm. Brushing out the eyebrows
after washing will keep them from grow
ing dull and gray. After the morning
bath turn the shoulders to the left and
at the same time the rest of the torso
mot moving the feet or the knees to
the right. Then reverse this. Take cX
ercise easily, and only do it few times,
but be regular about it. 1t makes a
twist at the waist that positively will
keep the waist curve unmcnaced by fat.
