SOME USES OF THE PlGTAlL

Although modern China has sacri.
feed the pigtail on the altar of liberty,
many celestials still look upon the pig
tail as an object OF generation. They
find in 1t five advantages. 1t saves the
ears; for, If two Chinese quarrel. they
seize each others pigtails, instead of
their ears. 1t is first aid to rescue;
for If he falls into a river boatmen can
fish him out by the pigtail with their
boat hooks. 1t helps the police. who
can tie two miscreants together by
their pigtails, and thus save the me-
cessity of handouts. 1t is protec-
ton of respectable citizens: for, in a
row, the police first arrest those who
have been disgraced by losing their
pigtails. Finally. it ensures peace in
the house; for with it husband may
not be upbraided by his wife. while
without it. she is at liberty TO call him
any name she pleases,

IS HOLY GRAIL IN GENOA?

A large green cup, heXagonal in
shape, which according to popular be-
lief was used by Christ and his apos-
ties at the Last Supper, is treasured
in the Church of st. Lawrence, at
Genoa, Italy. It's history goes much
further back than that event, as ii is
claimed that it was present from the
Queen Of Sheba to King Solomon. 1t
has been in Genoa since 1101, where
it was brought by a knight from the
Holy Land after the First Crusade.
For centuries it was not touched, al
though many OF the faithful wished
to adorn ii with precious stones. This
was due not only to piety but to a
fear on the part of citizens that
should 1t be broken, pilgrims would
cease to visit Genoa. II was thought
at one time that il was cut from an
enormous emerald. Napoleon took It
with him to Paris. persuaded Of its
high intrinsic worth. Scientists con-
firmed the suspicion that it was made
CT glass, and Genoans got it back at
pretty much their own figure.

GIANTS OF THE FOREST

Australia lays claim to growing the
TALES trees in the world. whilst Cali
fornia trees are noted for their girth
and diameter. The tallest Californian
forest giant discovered was found
by actual measurement to be $40 feet
high. But Australia's record gum tree
beats this by 140 feet. Baron Mueller.
who was formerly government botan-
list in Victoria, said that the Austral-
ian gum trees attained a height OF
500 feet but the tallest that the baron
ever measured was a PROSTATE one
on the Black Spur, ten miles from
Healesville, which was $50 feet high.
This tree was 81 feet in girth near its
root. In 1889 civil engineer. jour
neying from Gippsland to Mount Bore.
measured a tree AL feet in height,
though the same tree had previously
been estimated at not less than 500
feet.
