The Famous Old Willow Ware

You may know a plate of old willow
ware by this decoration: On the right
there is a mandarin's country seat In
the foreground there should be a pa
vilion, in the background an orange
tree and to the right peach tree The
place is Enclosed by a fence, and
through the estate there should wander
a brook, and In this brook there Is an
island high at the left side, with a cot
tage on 1t. Over the brook there is a
bridge, and on It there should be three
figures. The willow tree, the famous
willow tree, is at one end and gar
dener's cottage at the other. Two birds
are high in the air above the picture
The whole is supposed to tell the 70
nance Of the mandarin's daughter, who
is one of the figures on the bridge. The
others are her lover and the mandarin
himself. The birds are turtledoves,
into which the lovers were changed by
the gods that they might escape the
wrath Of Father Mandarin, who pur-
sued them.

Some motorists in the Belfast North
ern Wing tell very interesting story
that illustrates how fast "a hare can
run. At certain part of the tour the
way ran straight for about two miles,
with banks and hedges on either side.
Just about the beginning Of this
stretch a hare started out from the
side and dashed along in front, right In
the center Of the road. Its ears were
laid back, but every few seconds It
raised first one ear and then the other,
evidently to hear If the great racing
enemy was coming too near. The speed
Of the motor was increased until It
reached twenty-six or twentyseven
miles an hour. II increased further It
would have run down the hare. The
race continued for almost a mile and
a half. At last an open gate into a
field appeared, and through this the ami
NAL dashed. The motor was slowed
down, and from the slope of the road
the men could see the hare running
at full speed right across the large
field Evidently It had not been tired
by its mighty efforts to keep ahead of
the automobile.
