The Pomeio of China.

Probably the best all round fruit In
China is the pomelc. 1t is grown in
the south central and southern prov
hces and is said to be the original
citrus fruit. 1t resembles the grape
fruit of the United States in size, shape,
color and somewhat in flavor, being
sweeter than grape fruit, with less of
the bitter quality, with flesh more per-
fectly separated in the sections and
capable of being pulled apart and sep.
lrated fnbm all surrounding sacs or
membranes. The natives cut through
the peel about one-third of the way
from the top, crimping the edge of the
section all the way round the fruit,
hen remove the flesh, tear the section
apart, replace them in the peel and
serve thus divided and prepared. The
fruit is attractive, refreshing whole
some and comparatively cheap. Gen
orally speaking, the pomelo seems to be
cross between shaddock and a
good orange, but it is more hardy than
either. 1t has better keeping qualities
than the orange.

Some Renl Giants.

Brewer tells us that "no recorded
height of any giant known has reached
ten feet" If cubit is twenty -one
inches, Goliath of Gath was eleven feet
nine inches in height; if it is eighteen
inches, he was Just the size of the
Arabian giant, Gabara, who was nine
feet nine inches. Josephus mentions Il
Jew who stood ten feet two. Kinto-
lochus Rex was fifteen feet six incl es
high, five feet through the chest to the
spine and ten feet across the shoul-
ders. John Middleton was nine feet
three inches. His hand was seventeen
inches long and eight and half broad.
Patrick O'Brien was eight feet seven.
Turner the naturalist. says he saw in
Brazil giant twelve feet in height.
But Og, king of Bashan, held the rec
ord. According to tradition, he lived
5000 years and walked beside the Ark
during the flood. One of his bones
formed a bridge over river.

Warding OFF Old Age.

A famous French general when ask
ed how it was that he had such an erect
carriage replied that it was because he
bent over and touched the floor with
his fingers thirty times every day. If
he had acquired rigidity Of the spine
so that he could not do that he would
have had with it weak abdominal mus
cles, which result in portal congestion.
This portal congestion interferes with
stomach digestion and with the action
Of the liver. The poison destroying
power Of the liver is lessened, auto in
toXication results, and arteriosclerosis
and old age come on at much earlier
day. But by keeping the spine flexible
and the abdominal muscles strong and
taut the portal circulation is kept free.

In the DOIdrums.

We may hear it said of one who is
in low spirits, "he is in the Dumps" or
"he is in the doldrums," but many who
use the latter of these phrases have
caught it up without any knowledge Of
its real significance. The region of
calms is belt which stretches across
the Atlantic and Pacific almost on a
line with the equator Here meet the
north and south trade winds, and
squalls and heavy rains are frequent,
but the characteristic Of this region,
which is known also as the doldrums,
is an oppressive calm. The name now
adays loses much of the significance
attached to ii by sailors in the past.

So Long.

With respect to the origin Of the ia

is suggestion that it is derived from
the Norwegian "Saa laenge," Il COM

meaning to "au revoir," and pronouQc'
ed like 80 long," with the "g' soften.

likely the phrase was picked up from
