OLIVE GROWING. Report of Prof. Newton B. Pierce—Advocates the Extensive Growing of Olives in Southern California. WASHINGTON, August 23.—Professor Newton B. Pierce of the Department of Agriculture has prepared a comprehensive and valuable report on "Olive Culture in the United States" for the department's year book. He says the true North American olive belt—that is, the region especially adapted for the growth and production of the fruit—includes a portion of Mexico proper, all of Lower California and much of the State of California. The acreage of olives on the Pacific Coast can not be accurately given, but it runs well up among the thousands. Some idea may be had of the growth of this industry from the fact that in 1894 over 400,000 olive trees were sold for planting from the nurseries of Pomona alone, while the shipments and orders for the first half of 1895 amounted to half a million. Many who pay for olive oil and suppose they are using it have perhaps never tasted the pure article. This statement should stimulate the consumer to procure the California product that he may be assured of its purity, the California laws being very strict in the matter of oil adulteration. To secure the best brand of some well-known grower should be selected. The olive is propagated in many ways. Its production from the pit is not yet common in the United States, though several growers in California have started large numbers of seedling trees. It is somewhat difficult to germinate olive pits and the seedling plants do not come true to name. A seedling olive, like a seedling peach, is usually suitable only as a stock upon which to graft. As the finer varieties of olives become more extensively grown it is probable that grafting upon wild roots will be found advantageous and become more general. The habit of the olive to vary from the parent plant when grown from seed is valuable and admits of the selection of desirable qualities. In California it is advisable to bring to fruitage those seedling olives which give the best prospects of value through character of foliage and habit of growth. The grafting of the olive is now extensively undertaken in California. More Medicinal value in a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla than in any other preparation. More skill is required, more care taken, more expense incurred in its manufacture. It costs the proprietor and the dealer but it costs the consumer less, as he gets more doses for his money. More curative power is secured by its peculiar combination, proportion and process, which make it peculiar to itself. More people are employed and more space occupied in its Laboratory than any other. More wonderful cures effected and more testimonials received than by any other. More sales and more increase year by year are reported by druggists. More people are taking Hood's Sarsaparilla today than any other, and more are taking today than ever before. and STILL MORE reasons might be given why you should take Hood's Sarsaparilla The One True Blood Purifier. $1 per bottle.

The red spiders are getting in their destructive work on the peanut crop in this locality. Many fields are more seriously damaged than we have ever seen them before at this season of the year. The greatest damage is apparent near the roads on the dusty side. In most places the crops on the clean side adjacent are but very little affected. This should give a hint for the destruction of the pests. They thrive on the dust-covered plants and do little damage to the clean plants. Spraying the vines with pure water, applied with considerable force, or sprinkling them with sulphur are both said to be beneficial. It would be well not to plant peanuts nearer than fifty to one hundred feet from the road on the dusty side. TOBACCO A SUCCESS IN SAN DIEGO. From the National Record.

For years I have been most painful experience and would lie down most of the time. After the baby was born I was unable to attend housework. I could hardly stand wih dizzy spells. I wanted to sleep time and was treated by several of the physicians. I would have the most cramp, for which hot applications were used these hot applications until I red myself severally." "Before our child was born I had strong, healthy woman and was scarless sick. After he was born I grew weirhin, and received scarce any health medicine left by the doctors. The I was not properly cared for and tha baby was too strong for me. My back so breaking and I was scarely evin out a severe headache. Could not tell how many different prescriptions I have out every doctor had a different plan oing my case. I wore supports and weeks with my limbs elevated, but avail. One day my husband suggested Jerry Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pallet. As he had read several articles in this about women who had been helped bby I was discouraged and thought I must be an invalid, but said I would try after I had taken the bottle of medica was then using." "A few days after he brought me evidence of the average high starch of Southern California community and of a country of bountiful resale back of those communities. The I is proud of its Southern Cal exchange.

A seedling olive, like a seedling peach, is usually suitable only as a stock upon which to graft. As the finer varieties of olives become more extensively grown it is probable that grafting upon wild roots will be found advantageous and become more general. The habit of the olive to vary from the parent plant when grown from seed is valuable and admits of the selection of desirable qualities. In California it is advisable to bring to fruitage those seedling olives which give the best prospects of value through character of foliage and habit of growth. The grafting of the olive is now extensively undertaken in California. Crown grafting of the semi-wild Redding Picholine nursery stock has been practiced with success. Ursia olives, grafted on hardy roots, have been seen higher than a man's head after three years. Continuing, the report says: The profitable use of dry hillsides is a subject of great interest to a large number of California fruit growers. Ranges of these hills extend for 700 miles through the State from north to south, and at present they are almost barren of crops of any kind. Millions of acres of the most fertile soils in the most equitable climate are awaiting the intelligence of the cultivator to make them of permanent value. Can these hillsides be used for olive culture? An examination of the conditions under which the olive is grown in parts of the old world strongly indicates that they can. The rainfall conditions at Syracuse, Sicily, are much like those of California regions under consideration. This is shown by the fact that the Mediterranean coast a few miles north of Syracuse is lined with great piles of solar salt, made by the evaporation of sea water in shallow basins along the shore. To those acquainted with the slowness of solar evaporation this will demonstrate the total absence or at least the very limited quantity of rainfall during the summer months. Moreover, raisins are made in the valley of Syracuse, and the lemon groves are irrigated as in California. These facts show that the summers of Syracuse are long and dry—in fact nearly or quite as dry as those of Southern California. The olive thrives everywhere in this region without irrigation. In the southern part of Sicily, where no irrigation of the olive is practiced, and where the climatic or rainfall conditions are very similar to those prevailing in the drier portions of California, this tree grows to an enormous size and is perfectly healthy even to the very top of dry and otherwise barren hills. The conditions in the vicinity of Naples are a little different. During the summer there is usually a light shower or sprinkle about once a month. Irrigation is practiced for garden truck and citrus fruits, but not for the olive trees and vines. The system for growing the olive on the steep, high hillsides back of Naples is likely to prove value to Californians. The hills are too steep and high to permit being cultivated, but nevertheless have maintained thrifty olive groves for ages. A trial of the Neapolitan system of olive culture should be made on the drier and steeper hillsides of the Coast Range, says Mr. Pierce, as it is very successful in Italy. Throughout Southern Europe it is generally held that the quality of the oil from hillside groves is superior to that produced from groves in valleys. To further strengthen his claim that the olive may be grown with success on the driest California hillsides the writer calls especial attention to the successful olive groves of Mr. Cooper at Santa Barbara, which are on hikes near Mountains. TOBACCO A SUCCESS IN SAN DIEGO. From the National Record. Tobacco culture is no longer an experiment in this county. The high grade of tobacco raised in this vicinity has turned the eyes of many in the direction of a crop which is destined to become before many years one of the greatest sources of revenue. The advantage of tobacco culture over fruit raising is that it does not require years before an income can be got from the land upon which it is raised, but will bring in revenue the very first year. For that reason many people who are debarred, for want of enough capital to go into the lemon business, for instance, will now turn their attention to a crop that promises quicker returns. When the several great irrigation systems now in course of construction in this county are completed we may look confidently for a very large area of land, now unproductive, to be turned into tobacco fields and employment given to many people. THAT WAD OF BURied MONEY. From the Pasadena Star. The ANAHEIM GAZETTE records an incident of a man who lately paid a mortgage debt in money that had evidently been buried. It was a relic of last year's scare, and the payer was a Popilist who had been crying hard times at the same time that he had his money buried up in the ground. It is such scares as this that make hard times. If that money and other had been turned loose there would have been no hard times to scare anybody. SUGAR ITEMS FROM CHING: From the Champion. The past week has given a more satisfactory harvest from the Chino ranch than any for some time. The average daily delivery has been 338 tons (it ought to be 600 tons at least)—making the total for the season to date 8873 tons. The sugar percentages remain about the same, the daily averages being as follows: SUGAR PURITY. Thursday.....14.5 79.8 Friday.....14.5 79.1 Saturday.....14.9 79.6 Monday.....14.8 80.1 Tuesday.....14.9 80.0 Wednesday.....14.9 80.3 The delivery from Anaheim has been reduced to little over 200 tons per day. The factory has sliced for the season up to last evening 30,000 tons net. An average of about 650 tons per day has been sliced the past week. During the week the factory has used 391 tons of lime rock, 48 tons of coke, 238 tons of lime; has treated 779,950 pounds of molasses; has turned out 2248 tons of pulp, and shipped about 40 carloads of sugar. Wednesday was the semi-monthly labor payday at the sugar factory, and the company checked out on that day $11,000 to its employees for wages. In the neighborhood this amount is paid out for labor every two weeks, making over $22,000 a month that is distributed in Chino from the sugar factory alone. Most of this money goes directly into circulation here, and is no small item evidence of the average high state of Southern California community and of a country bountiful resale back of those communities. The law is proud of its Southern California exchanges. May they prosper cordance with their merits, and they be appreciated in the same way they have wrought and strung in behalf of their respective companies. SENATOR JONES AT NORWALK.

Southern California is to be congratulated upon the possession of a great many advantages, natural and acquired, but she has not many things that redound more to her credit than her State press. It is an indisputable fact that a State or community may be known by its newspapers. If the newspapers print the news of the community in which they are published, if the editors have opinions upon the issues that interest that community, and express them in clear, vigorous English without fear or favor, it may be taken for granted that the community is worth living in. A poor community will not support a good newspaper. The Herald has been greatly impressed from time to time in glancing over its Southern California exchanges, with the general excellence of the State papers that come to its table. It believes that they are not excelled, paper for paper, by the country newspapers of any State in the Union, and it is sure that there are very many States whose newspapers as a whole fall far below the Southern California standard. We find that the average weekly paper in this part of the State pays much attention to the local news; that it is familiar with State affairs; that it has opinions and is not afraid to express them; that when national topics are up for discussion, the editor has an intelligent opinion to express. There is probably less cribbing of editorial matter on the part of Southern California papers than may be found elsewhere among the same class of papers. In fact, offenses of this kind are comparatively rare. There are no communities of the same size in the United States that can show newsier, better edited papers than the dailies of Pasadena, Santa Monica, Long Beach, San Pedro, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Riverside, Santa Ana, San Bernardino and Redlands; or better weeklies than are published in the same cities and in Pomona, Anaheim, Ventura, Monrovia, Colton, Ontario, Orange, and a dozen other towns that might be named. These newspapers afford indisputable average of about 650 tons per day has been sliced the past week. During the week the factory has used 391 tons of lime rock, 48 tons of coke, 238 tons of lime; has treated 779,950 pounds of molasses; has turned out 2248 tons of pulp, and shipped about 40 carloads of sugar.

Ms. Henry Younghans, of Detroit, Mich., resides at 1003 Grand River Avenue, Ever since our last little one came in invalid. For years I have had the painful experience and would have to down most of the time. After the last was born I was unable to attend to my work. I could hardly stand up and dizzy spells. I wanted to sleep all the and was treated by several of the best doctors. I would have the most fearful trip, for which hot applications were used. And these hot applications until I blast myself severely. Before our child was born I had been a healthy woman and was scarcely ever after he was born I grew weak and received scarcely any help from medicine left by the doctors. They said it was too strong for me. My back seemed breaking and I was scarcely ever with a severe headache. Could not tell you many different prescriptions I have taken, every doctor had a different plan of treatment, my case. I wore supports and laid for with my limbs elevated, but without one day my husband suggested that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, he had read several articles in the paper that women who had been helped by them, was discouraged and thought I must always be invalid, but said I would try them I had taken the bottle of medicine I then using. A few days after he brought me in a box and asked me to give them a trial. I started taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People that day and put the other medicine away, thinking it would please him if I tried the pills. Before I had taken one box I felt better. My husband noticed the improvement and bought two more boxes. I kept on using them until I had taken four boxes, and I was entirely cured. "I keep them in the house now and use them occasionally, as they are a great help to all women. You would not have known me two years ago. What I am to-day is owing to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." (Signed) Mrs. H. Younghans. Mrs. H. Younghana, being duly sworn, states that she has read the above and that it is true in every particular. ROBERT E. HULL, Jr., Notary Public. Wayne County, Michigan. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People contain in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale and saline cheeks. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all drugstores, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.Y. THE BLUFF FAILED. BUT IT BROUGHT ABOUT THE DESIRED RESULT AT LAST. The College Society Chapter That Was In Bad Repute — A Medal That Contained an Inscription — Poker and Bottled Refreshments. "It frequently happens," said a college graduate, "that different chapters of the same Greek letter fraternity, situated at different colleges, develop different characteristics. All of these societies, I think, are organized to encourage literary pursuits. I mean that's what the constitutions say. As a matter of fact, the literary element is rather lost sight of in most cases in the stress of having a jolly good time. When convention time comes round, however, the chapters that have maintained their literary quality come to the fore, and the others have to put up a bluff by sending as delegates men who have high standing as scholars or else take a very back seat. "The chapter to which I belonged was located at a country college, and in some way or other it had acquired a reputation in the fraternity of being essentially nonliterary, and, in fact, rather sporty in character. This was so much the case that in my junior year there was a movement on foot to expel or suspend our chapter from the fraternity. We weren't very strong in high stand men and couldn't even scare up two to go as delegates to the convention. Another man and myself were finally selected for this function as the most unsophisticated looking members of the chapter. "As usual in such cases, a special train was made up to start from the westernmost chapter and to pick up as many of the other delegations as could be arranged on its way to the convention city. We were among the more remote chapters, and when we boarded the train there was only one other delegation on board, composed of three members. We sighed when we saw big boxes of bottled beer in the freight car and reflected on the elaborate instructions we had received from our constituents. We were primed for the occasion.

Curious Accidents That Have Happened to Delvers After Hidden Treasure. "In this line of work we come across some curious accidents and narrow escapes," said Deputy Mine Inspector Frank Hunter the other night. "One thing struck me long ago, and that is how much it takes to kill a man sometimes and how easily the thread of life is often snapped. "Down in Colorado I knew a fellow who plunged down 800 feet in a single compartment shaft. He went to the bottom, but did not break a bone. Of course he was pretty badly jarred up and a good deal frightened, but he was all right again in a day or two. When he fell, he went down feet first, and a big oilskin that he wore opened out at the bottom and acted as a parachute. He said the last part of his descent was so much slower than the first that he hardly thought he was dropping at all and half expected to remain suspended in the shaft, like Mohammed's coffin. "Nearly always when a man falls any distance he turns over, if he starts feet downward, and finishes his plunge head first. I have seen a number of cases where the man fell with his boots on and was found barefooted when he was picked up. I suppose this is because the blood goes to the head, making the feet smaller, and besides the pressure of the air upon the heel and counter acts as a bootjack. "I had to go over to Sand Coulee to investigate an accident in which one man was killed and another had three ribs broken. Speaking of Sand Coulee, it struck me while I was there that if I wanted to commit suicide I would go there to do it. I don't mean that life becomes such a burden in the coal country that the ties that bind are more easily severed than elsewhere, but that it affords unsurpassed facilities for a cheap and happy dispatch. It's a wonder to me that some of the many people who annually launch themselves into eternity from Butte do not take the Sand Coulee route. "Down in the coal mines there is one passage that is three miles long, and in some of the chambers air does not seem to circulate. Upon the walls there is a gathering of moisture, and if you puff a cigar in one of these chambers the smoke will seek the walls, where it clings with an undulating train was made up to start from the westernmost chapter and to pick up as many of the other delegations as could be arranged on its way to the convention city. We were among the more remote chapters, and when we boarded the train there was only one other delegation on board, composed of three members. We sighed when we saw big boxes of bottled beer in the freight car and reflected on the elaborate instructions we had received from our constituents. We were primed for the occasion. My companion, Forbes, had a classical volume in each side pocket of his coat and there were ink stains on his fingers. I had borrowed from a classmate a medal given for scholarship, and this I had rather ostentatiously hung on my watch chain. "We soon made the acquaintance of the other three delegates and joined them in their stateroom. Before long they proposed a game of poker, and one of them produced a pack of cards. Forbes said he didn't play, retired to a corner, pulled out a copy of Gladstone's 'Landmarks of Homeric Study' and after gazing thoughtfully out of the window for a moment or two apparently became absorbed in it. I admired his conception of the part, but I couldn't bring myself to break up the game, and that's what it meant, for everybody knows there's no fun in three handed poker. Besides, there were only three delegates on the train to witness my fall. I said I didn't play, but had seen the game and thought it looked interesting. I was willing to learn. "When we got started, there was a demand for a buck, and I unhitched the scholarship medal and dropped it into the pot as a good means of calling attention to it. Everything went on swimmingly for awhile. I had outrageous luck and won pot after pot, so they were confirmed in the idea that I was a beginner. After awhile one of the other delegates got away with a jack pot, and while he was waiting for the cards to be dealt he picked up the medal and glanced carelessly at the obverse side. I hadn't examined it particularly, but I found out afterward that it bore this neat inscription: 'Garrett J. Gardner, Weymouth University, Class of '87.'" "The delegate started and looked at me with a glance that was first mystified and then suspicious." "I beg your pardon, Brother Gardner," he said, with a touch of sarcasm. "I thought you said your name was Hawkins, and we've all been calling you that right along." "There was a smothered guffaw from behind the 'Landmarks of Homeric Study,' and I saw the jig was up. We made a clean breast of it, and Forbes sat into the game, making it five handed, which, of course, is the ideal game. We didn't lose any time sending forward for a consignment of that bottled beer, and the floor was strewn with dead Indians when the train filled up with other delegates, and they crowded around to watch the game." Our elaborate bluff hadn't worked, and the convention opened with our chapter in just as bad odor as before, but we had made stanch supporters of the three delegates and some other kindly spirits who had joined us on the train. They all went to work like beavers, and when our case was taken up in the convention we had a good working majority which sustained our charter with a whoop." — New York Sun.

In this day of slang and slipshod English it is quite refreshing to find one home in which our mother tongue is appreciated and sins against its purity duly resented.

When his wrath had reached its height, the small son of the house, quivering with anger, sought for lan guage to denounce his sister, who had been the aggressor. "You bad," he burst forth, stamping a stubby shoe; "you bad, you bad"—Words failed him. Then with a flash of truly literary inspiration he concluded, "You bad grammar, you!"—Youth's Companion.

Interdependency of Inventions The advent of important inventions is often dependent on the brilliant inspiration of the visual inventor, but upon them and gradual advance of the art to which they belong, may occurrence not only possible, inevitable. The bicycle is an example of this kind of mechanical construction, since is one of the most important both mechanically and constructively its development to the point where its development in metal and running without which it could exist at all, in the mode to any extent. The clumey wooden velocipede always have remained a useful not the introduction of tubing made the construction and yet strong frame poses the original leather tire of Dane never have led to the practice of the pneumatic principle out the substitution of the structure which only the rubber manufacture made.

A NAHEIM GRIST MILLS OPERATING ON Interdependency of Inventions. The advent of important and valuable inventions is often dependent, not upon the brilliant inspiration of some individual inventor, but upon the general and gradual advance of the state of the art to which they belong, making their occurrence not only possible, but almost inevitable. The bicycle is an excellent example of this kind of growth in mechanical construction, since, while it is one of the most important things, both mechanically and commercially, which has ever been produced, it owes its development to the parallel improvements in metal and rubber working, without which it could never have existed at all, in the modern sense, or to any extent. The clumsy wooden velocipede would always have remained a useless toy had not the introduction of drawn steel tubing made the construction of a light and yet strong frame possible, while the original leather tire of Dunlop could never have led to the practical application of the pneumatic principle without the substitution of the rubber construction which only the advances in rubber manufacture made possible. This is but one instance of what is apparent in many other lines of work, and there is little doubt that if the patent records of the past 50 years were thoroughly studied by competent specialists many inventions which at the time of their conception were failures simply because of the impossibility of executing the ideas would now be found both practicable and valuable.—Cassier's Magazine. Fish. A man who resides on the east side relates an incident which may be true, but it sounds fishy. His boy caught a large sucker a couple of years ago, and since that time he has been experimenting with his finny pet somewhat. The fish has been kept out of the water so much that it gradually became accustomed to it, and frequently flopped out of the water itself and followed the boy around. Finally the boy placed it in a pen and gradually reduced its bathing periods until it became acclimatized, abandoning entirely its native element. It would follow the boy around like a dog, and one day he started over to town across the swinging bridge with the pet fish flopping along after him. But alas for boyish hopes! The fish made a slight miscue and flopped overboard into the creek and drowned before the boy could rescue him.—Punxsutawney Spirit.
