Odd Greetings. v The unconventional salutation' "Het lo" which Is used by tbe average weit erner would be considered absolutely discourteous and rude by tbe average foreigner of Asia. Interpreted Into tfngllsb, the salutation of the Turk Is "Re under the guard of Qod"; the Ara bian wltb his usual reference to "Al lah" aaya: "Thank Qod, how are you?" The greeting of the Persian la In these well wishing words, "May your shadow never grow less." The familiar form of saluting a friend among the Chinese is, "How is your stomach?" while the Egyptians, "How do you perspire?" seems still more odd. A literal translation of the greeting of European people gives us a combina tion something like this: Dutch, "How do you are?"; Swedish, "How can yo\i?"; Russian, "How do you live on?"; Polish, "How do you have your self?"; Italian, "How do you stixnd?" ? < Tlilo Gas Plant Lives and Grow*. There are two varieties of gas plant. One Is a manufacturing establishment where coal Is converted Into gas for Illuminating and heating purposes. The other variety la a real growing plant called the fraxlnella. Few know why the fraxlnella Is called the "gas plant." This Is because at certain times It releases a Volatile oil that actually Ignites If allowed to come In contact with a lighted match. The fraxlnella Is also noteo for its fragrance and longevity if not dis turbed. One plant In a New England garden Is doing its best to outlive a third generation, and elsewhere a elump Is still flourishing after no less than thirty-seven yours on a grave? one of the moBt difficult of places for a perennial to keep up a long struggle for existence, let alone a normal life. Most Curious Railway. ' The Darjoellng-Hlmalayan railway is ono of the most curious In the world It Is of two-foot gauge, and on account of the steepness Is full of loops, curves and spirals, many of the curves having only 70 feet radius. Some of the gradients are as high as one foot in 28. A special type of lo comotive had to be made for it at Manchester. This locomotive was re quired by the specifications to bo ablo to travel on reverse curves not ex ceeding 60 feet radius, with only 20 feet length of tangent between the curves. The engine consists of a frame supported at each end by foiyfc wheeled bogles, each of which Is de scribed ns a miniature locomotive without boiler. The boiler Is carried on the framo between the bogies. The Origin of Ear-Rings. A correspondent writes to the Pall Mall Gazette of London to correct a statement that the ears were not pierced for ear-rings till the seven teenth century. The most ancient ear rlnffB In the museums, he says, were certainly worn In jpierced ears. Thes is tradition, that when Sarah, jealous of Hagar, vowed to dye her hands in the latter's blood, Abraham r-" * 'he situation by boring Hagar'- -nd' letting Sarah Insert silver so that her vow was fulfilled. 'I .., ->gs, however, lent such splendor ;o the girl's dusky cheeks that Sarah soon adoptod them herself, and this was tho origin of ear-rings. Shakespeare's Gauntlets. Dr. Howard H.

They are dull' buff gauntlets, tho deep cuffs being em broidered with gold. The actor John Ward gave thorn to Qarrlck in 1769. Garrlck's widow presented them to Sarah Slddons. Mrs. Slddons be queathed the gloves to her daughter, who gave thom to Mrs. Fanny Kemble, from whom the Shakespearean scholar received tho unquestioned precious possession. ? i. The Perfume of Flowers. According to the investigation of ft German botanist, out of i,300 species of flowers cultivated in Rurope only 420 possess an agreeable perfume.
