The Calico Fire.

Mr.. L. s. Blasdel, of this city, re-
turned yesterday from Calico. He left
there Just after the destructive fire that
swept through that busy camp on Sun
day afternoon, as mentioned in oul
telegraphic news. The fire broke out
ON Sunday by the explosion OF
breaking of a coal oil lamp
in restaurant, and as the wind most
always blows in that high land. abou,
5000 feet above sea level, the fire
swept away twelve buildings in
the center of the camp, when il
stopped, because there were no more
buildings within easy reach. The prin'
cipal sufferers, part of whom are from
Los Angeles, are Alfred James 4 Co..

Sale of Blooded Stock.

Mr.. John c. Bell yesterday conducted
a very successful auction sale of Jersey
cattle for account of Mr.. F. J. Barretto,
of Downey City. There was large at
tendance of the judges of fine cattle, and
Mr.. Bell made everybody happy with
his cattle talk. The following sales
were made.
Cow Dowager, to Geo. Kinds. 3205 90
Cow Mystery. to Il. Barrett lSO 90
Cow Miss Matt, to VIM. Niles. l25 90
Bull Curiey, to John Steere. so 90
Bull Monterey, to w. r. Wilson rs 90
Bull Princeton, to L. R. Bourn. 30 90
Bull Munroe, Jr., to E. Corwin, 81 so
The COW Dowager was beautiful
fawn oolored animal, and we congratu-
late Mr.. Kinds on his purchase. All
the stock was of fine strain, like all of
Mr.. Barretto's cattle. He will keep no
other, The bulls were small, and being
but two years old did not bring the price
which they would command next year.
Mr.. Barretto is to be complimented in
introducing SO fine grade Of cattle into
this part Of the State, and we hope will
find the business rewarding. Mr.. Bell
showed that he understood all about
cattle, and managed the sale most clev-
erly.

Sheriff King All Right.

The Cotton Semi 1ropic says A re-
port having gained currency that there
was deficiency in the accounts of ex'
Sheriff King as Tax Collector, Mr.. King
applied to the Board of Supervisors to
have committee appointed to examine
his accounts, and accordingly Messrs. II,
C. Brooke and e. A. Holt were appoint
ed to expert the books. Instead of 0
deficiency, it was found that Mr.. KING
had overpaid into the treasury some
S233 l3. This certainly vindicates Mr..
King in most emphatic manner, and
strengthens the high opinion the people
OF this county have always held Of his
high integrity and honesty.

l further report that during the past
six months aid has been granted to the
amount of s3l7. so; the receipts exceeding
the expenditures by S3l.45
The demands upon the Society are
constant and urgent, and its resources
are taxed to the utmost. There being
no suitable place, the usual ball held on
the Fourth of July, managed by the
Society, must be postponed until later
in the year. We trust the members will
bear this in mind, and endeavor. in every
way. to extend the membership Of the
organization, so that liberal response
may be made by the community when
ever the call is made.
The financial aid granted by the Sec
retary has been but small part of the
real help given. Great good has been
done by procuring employment for
strangers. by distributing food. clothing,
bedding and furniture, collected from
others. and by tenderly caring for the
sick and dying.
In behalf Of the Board of Managers,
we would, therefore, make an earnest
appeal to the public, to aid US in this
noble Christian charity.

DR.. Withrow ON False Professors.

1t is a big thing to be a Christian
Yet there are false professors of religion
Remember, however. that c~ounterfeiterd
work in gold, not in copper. They find
their greatest success in the highest de-
nominations of coin or notes, not ia
pennies. 1t is because true religion
is 80 intrinsically valuable that It ID
counterfeited. 1t was always so. Alb
sects suffer, but the proportion is not
SO large as when Judas lived. Not ons|
in twelve now is a fraud. There ars|
some black sheep in every flock, and
Christianity is shown to be divine I'd
carry so many loads and yet live.|
There r more faithful wives than
there are unfaithful ones. Infidels adj
NIT that "churches die hard" Many
true e are falsely charged, though
some who are of Israel are shown to ba
not Israelites indeed. In 1900, but one
in seventeen was an Evangelical con-
municant; now, n in five in our land
is the proportion. Trade sales in New
York furnish one of the best tests of the
tastes Of this reading generation. Ie11
amined the list at a recent large sale,
and found in a long catalogue but two

anti Christian. Is not this an evidence
of the comparative strength of Chris

Pure Olive OIL.

tNine dealers out of ten don't know
what real choice olive oil is" said the
buyer of a large importing house, land
tits not very strange, either, since but
little of it is sent to II market
j"Can it be bought from any first-elass
%grocer?" he was asked.
"No, indeed. Olive oil lean be bought
but not the finest grades. If you had
ever tasted the best you would readily
believe what l have just said when you
dressed your salad with the other. Oil
of the finest quality has a faint, agreea-
BILE odor, and a delicious, indescribable
taste. When spread over nice, crisp
lettuce or used to dress a cucumber, it
lends a flavor that requires actual ex-
p%erience to appreciate. Why, it's a
pleasure almost to look at its pale,
greenish color"
"Why don't we get more of this oil?
The best Of everything else usually
comes here"
.'1t is easily explained. There is not
las much demand in America for
choice oil as there is in Europe.
Thousands of Americans will not taste
oil under any consideration, while in
Italy and the south of France the poor
est person would think his meal incom-
plete without it. The best grades are
kept for home consumption, while the
rest is exported. Do you know that
there is as many qualities of olive oil as
you have fingers and toes, to say moth
ing of the almost hundreds of adultera-
tions and imitationsp
"a high degree of skill is shown in
the manufacture of olive oil. The
thoroughly ripe olive yields about
seventy per cent. of oil. The persons
! who make the finer kinds gather the
| fruit by hand as soon as it begins to
color. 1t is spread under sheds, where
it is allowed to remain, until most of
the moisture has evaporated. The ripe
olive is of a dark, purple color, and
yields considerably more oil than that I
have just spoken of. So you can see why
the two oils should be of different value.
The process of manufacturing the oil
will give you a good idea of the grades.
1.-The olives are crushed to a pulp in
a mill, and then placed in sacks of
loosely woven cloth. These sacks are
piled one upon another and are SUBJ
mitted to pressure. The oil which flows
from them Is run into a vat containing
water, from the surface of which it is
afterwards dipped. The first pressing
is called virgin oil. A second quality
is obtained by mixing the pulp with
very hot water and submitting it to adj
ditional pressure. Then there is a third
pressing, after which the pulp is chemi-
cally treated for other grades"
What kind of oil is used in the or
binary eating house?",
SIT is an oil made from cotton seed,
and has no more the taste of olive oil
than it has of ginger. 1t is thick and,
to me, very unpleasant. 1t is only in
first-class hotels and restaurants that
olive oil of any grade at all is served.
There is also an oil made from ground
nuts, which does not seem to be very
popular. OF the cottonseed oil there is
an immense sale.-M. Y. Sun.

A Monkey and Dog Time.

Moore had a big fighting stump-tail
bull dog by the name of Rather, and
one day a little Italian came along with
an organ and a monkey, and as the
crowd gathered around, he asked the man
if his monkey could fight. ''Oh, yes; he
fight" said the Italian. "Will he fight
a dog?" said Moore. ooh, yes, he fight
dog-he whip dog quick" said the
Italian. Moore pulled out a five dollar
bill, and said, "I'll bet you this that I've
got a dog he can't whip" The little
fellow covered it with another five, and
the money was handed over to a stake
holder, and they went through to the
back yard, followed by half the folks in
the little town. There lay the dog on
the grass asleep, and at the word the
Italian tossed the monkey upon him.
In less than a jiffey the little brute had
his teeth and his claws fastened like a
wise in the stump of that dogs tail and
was screeching like a hyena. The dog
gave but one astonished look behind as
he bounded to his feet and made tracks
for another country. The monkey held
on until Rather sprang over a ten-rail
fence at the back of the garden, when
he suddenly quit his hold and sat on the
top rail and watched the dogs flight
with chatter of perfect satisfaction and
danced along the rail with delight.
The crowd was convulsed. They
laughed and roared and hollered tu-
m%ultuously, all but old man Moore,
whose voice could be heard above all
others as he stood upon the fence and
shouted: "Here, Rather; here, here!
Here, Rather, here! Here, Rather,
here!" But Rather wouldn't hear.
Rather ratified on and on, across field
after field, until he got to the woods and
was gone from human sight. The little
Italian shouldered his monkey affection
ately, and walking up to Moore said:
'Your dog!not well to-day; may be your
dog gone off to hunt rabbeet. Your dog
no like my m~onkey-he not acquaint.
May be ven I come again next year he
come back and fight some more. Ven
you look for him to come back?"
Moore gave up the wager, but he as
serted solemnly that Rather would have
whipped the fight if he hadn't have run,
"The surprise, gentlemen, the surprise
was what done it," said he, '.for that
dog has whipped wild cats and a bear
and a she wolf and every dog in ten
miles of Watkinsville." And all that
evening and away in the night and early
next morning an inviting mournful
voice could be heard at the back of the
garden calling "Rattler, here, Rather
here" and three days after a man
brought Rather home, but he had lost
his integrity, and never could be
induced to fight anythign more.-BM

A Homely Illustration Of Faith.

Sam Jones, the revivalist, was, taIkJ
ing to a man of weak faith the etheI
day. The doubter asked If Mr.. Jonss
could not give him a demonstration n
religion. \
"None," was the reply. "You musA
get inside the fold and then the demon
stration will come of itself. Humble
yourself, have faith, and you shall know
the truth"
"In other words I must believe, acl
oept it before it is proved, and believed
without proof"
CHOW, hold on right there. Out West
they have place for watering CATTLE
The cattle have to mount a platform
to reach the Thoughts. AS they ste1
on the platform their weight presses \
lever, and this throws the water intd
the troughs. They have to get on thd
platform through faith, and this ac1
provides the water and leads them I'd
it. You are like a smart steerthat slipJ
around to the barn-yard and peeps ID
the trough without getting on the plat
form. He finds the trough dry, d
course, for it needs his weight or, tha
platform to force the water up. Id
turns away disguised, and tells every
body there's no use getting on the plat
form for there's no water in the trough
Another steer not so smart, but with
more faith, steps on the platform, thd
water springs into the trough, and Id
marches up and drinks. That's. thd
way with religion. You've got to gel
- A. -1-A- -
anime it intelligently, until you are Of
the platform. If you slip around thu
back way you'll find the trough dry
But step on the platform, and the waite
and the faith come together without AM
trouble-certain and sure and abun'
dant. "-Atlanta Constitution.
