Cfclnme Mrlbnd of Mrnaurlnff. Many travelers 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 1! (one-third of a mile), lint upon arriving at the town you will be surprised to find the distance back to the town from which you have Just come is 24 ii and thnt the cost of Jour neying back again is correspondingly greater than the cost togo to it. The Chinese measure distance not by rule, but l)j- tin l amount of physical en ergy required to traverse them. Their wage is based 011 a unit of energy, the amount that it takes them to carry a given load, one picul one li, on level ground. If the road from A to B is down hill, the distance is regarded as less than tlio actual linear distance lie cause it is supposed to take less energy to travel in that direction, or, as the Chinese say, "the li are short." It nat urally follows that in traveling in the other direction, from T? back to A, the road being a gradual ascent, a greater expenditure of energy is necessary. "The li are long," and in order to get: a 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. OH von. The olive tree in its wild state is a thorny shrub or small tree, but when cultivated becomes a tree 20 to 40 feet high, with no thorns. It 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. It was also the emblem of pu rlty. A crown of olive twigs was the highest honor that could he bestowed upon a 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 its wood. It is found as far north as Virginia. Its fruit is fit for use, aud its flowers are fragrant. The fragrant olive of China aud Ja pan has extremely fragrant flowers, which are used for flavoring tea. Polite Erie Commuter*. A stranger who had an appointment to meet a 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 taker's win dow. Nearly three-fourths of them took their hats off to the ticket taker in the most polite style. The stranger thought that possibly the ticket taker's 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 liis friend arrived, the stranger said: "Is that the president of the Erie road in that box?" "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." The friend smiled pityingly at the stranger's 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 agent might see the ticket.—New York Sun. A Historic Throne. The biggest episcopal throne in Eu rope is at the Exeter cathedral. Com posed of the very best oak, with mag nificent carving executed by the most expert designers of the day, the throne soars upward in beautiful tapering pin nacles, which rise up to the lofty roof of the sacred ediflce. The throne is not only the biggest, but one of the oldest. It was saved from destruction by the Puritans by the ingenuity of the Cavaliers, who when the Roundheads marched on Exeter pulled down the throne and divided it into 303 pieces, one for every day of the year. The pieces were safely secured in many hiding places, and when peace was re stored the pieces were put together again without the aid of a single nail. A Wily Answer. The shah of Persia once asked a group of his courtiers whom they thought the greater man, himself or his father. At first he could get no re ply to so dangerous a question, the an swer to which might cost the courtiers their heads. At last a wily old courtier said, "Your father, sire, for although you are equal to your father in all other re spects in this he is superior to you, that he had a greater son than any you have." Rnftllnh Honda. After the abandonment of Britain by tiie Romans the roads fell into dis use and bridle paths formed the only means of communication. Not until the sixteenth year of Charles ll—that is, 1070—was any systematic effort made to improve the roads of Eng land. The Topan. The word topaz comes from the Creek verb signifying to guess.
