Pure Olive Oil.

Absolutely pure olive oil lisa commod-
ity seldom found in this country, so
great is the temptation of manufacture
ers to adulterate with cotton-seed oil,
which resembles the other very closely
in some respects, and which is so much
cheaper. To get the absolutely pure,
therefore, is information that many
would like to have. In reply, there
fore, to query, made through these
columns some months since, we would
say that we know OF but one place, and
that is Cannon's Point, st. Simons Is
land, of Mr.. W. L. Shadman, VIII has
the only olive grove in this country
whore the oil is manufactured. There
are few trees at Dungenness, or Cum
berland Island, and elsewhere. Mr..
Shadman has 100 full bearing trees,
and will make this season between 100
and 200 gallons of unauthorized mate
rial In three grades, pure, merchant
able, and crude. From him we learn
the process of manufacture, which may
be interesting to some Of our readers.
The olives, which are about the size
of plums, are first gathered and passed
through mill which brushes the berry
but not the kernel. This pulp is
placed in small crocus bags, which are
dampened with cold water and kneaded
like bread on an inclined table
with trough attached. The water
washes out the oil and both drain into
the trough. The oil being lighter
floats, and is skinned off and filtered.
This makes the first quality, which
sells from IS to SO per gallon.
The same process is gone through
with warm or tepid water, which yields
q second grade of oil, almost twice the
quantity of the first, and is sold at from
50 to So per gallon.
A third washing or kneading in
warmer water still, brings out the crude
oil, in quantity, equal to the first, and
which sells at from $3.50 TO $3.50 per
gallon. The proportion is 20 per cent.
pure, 30 medium or merchantable, and
20 crude. Mr.. Shadman has been ex-
perimenting for several years to find
out just how to get out this oil and has
at last found that washing is the only
process by which all the oil can be ex-
tracted. The pure oil, of which we
have sample before Us, which is de-
lightful in flavor, and will keep per-
fectly sweet for century or more. The
other grades, being less pure, in course
of time become rancid. This grove of
Mr.. Shadman's was planted nearly q
century ago by Hon. James Hamilton
Copper, the father of Mr.. ]. M. Copper.
The young trees were secured for Mr..
Copper in Spain by the then minister
to Spain from the United States. The
trees are still vigorous and in fine bear
ing order.--Brunsuick (Ga.) appeal.

Postal currency, which was the
change" during the war and until the
resumption of specie payments, was the
invention of Gen. Spinner, who has
represented the Syracuse district of
New York in Congress. and had been
appointed Treasurer of the United
States by President Lincoln. Small
change had vanished, and in buying q
dinner in the market change had to be
taken in beets, cabbages, potatoes, and
what not. Gen. Spinner was constant
ly appealed to from all quarters to do
something to supply the demand for
small change. He had no law un-
der which he could act, but after buying
q half-dollar's worth Of apples several
times and receiving for his half-dollar
in change more or less different kinds
of produce, he began to cast around for
O substitute for small change.
In his dilemma he bethought himself
of the postage stamp. He sent down
to the postoffice department and pur-
chased quantity of stamps. He then
ordered up package of paper upon
which government securities were
printed. He cut the paper into various
sizes. On the pieces he pasted stamps
to represent different amounts. He
thus initiated a substitute for fractional
silver. This was not. however, govern
ment transaction in any sense; it could
not be. Gen. Spinner distributed his
improvised currency among the clerks
of the department. They took it read
ily, and the trade folks more readily.
The idea spread the postage stamps,
either detached or pasted upon n piece
of paper, became the medium of small
exchange. 1t was dubbed postal cur
rency." From this Gen. Spinner got
his idea Of the fractional currency, and
went before Congress with it. That
body readily adopted it, and but short
time after Gen. Spinner had begun
FASTING operations law was on tho
statute book providing for the issue OF
the fractional currency which became
so popular The fac-simile of postage
stamps was put on each piece of cur.
rency, and for q long time it was knowE
as "postal currency" An enormou'

The Turkish bath has recently come
into rather extensive use for curing the
ailments Of horses; and few private
stables, % we'll o. several belonging to
corporations, are now fitted with COM
plefe horse-baths. A recent number of
The Builder gives the plan of such an
establishment just added to the Great
Northern Railway Company, which
shows o compact group of three rooms |;
one serving both as reception room
and as q place for the final DOUGH, being
about fifteen feet wide and twenty-four
feet long; while the two hot-rooms,
opening out of the reception room, are
each somewhat loss than twelve feet
wide by the same length as the other.
Hot air is supplied to the two smaller
rooms from q "stokery" outside, and
ventilating shafts remove it as fast as
vitiated. Both the rooms are separated
from the reception room by double
doors, to prevent loss of heat; and an
opening, over which o curtain is hung,
connects the two.
The first warm room, q "tepidarium,"
is kept at temperature of about l40
degrees Fahrenheit: while the second
room, "calidarium," is kept at 160 or
ITO degrees. The reception room is
warmed only bv the heat which escapes
from the other two. The horses, upon
treatment, are first rubbed down in the
reception room, and then led into the
"tepidarium," where they stay until
they are accustomed to the heat, and
are then, if their case seems to need it,
taken into the "calidarium," where
they stay until sufficient Precipitation
has taken place. From this room they
return directly into the reception room,
where they are bathed according to the
Judgment of the attendant in charge.
As horses are naturally thin
skinned, and liable to the disor-
ders which proceed from checked per-
SEPARATION, it may be readily imagined
that the Turkish bath, by its powerful
action in opening the pores of the skin,
might be Of great use in treating them (;
and it is said that firm OF carriers in
London has had such bath in opera
tion for more than eleven years, treat
ing during that time about twenty
horses o week.-POpatlar Science NeiUs.

There is . deep hush In she BIG
school-room, although il is crowded
with the fathers, mothers, and the pretty
sisters of each boy, and the other boys
pretty sisters. Through the open win
dows, tho sweet june breeze blows in,
sweeping the school-room stiffness
from the hooks of the room; the ladies'
fans sweeping to and fro with gentle
susurrus; the boys seated in o corner
upon long settees, fidget uneasily, and
long for thu exhibition to be over.
jamie has just spoken such q nice
piece; jamie is the boy who is always
dressed so neatly, who goes through
his steps SO prettiIy at dancing-school.
and who brings fruit and flowers to his
teacher at school. where he always
stands at the head of his class, holds up
his hand as u sign of eager intelligence
when class-mate stumbles in recita-
ton, and shows many other indications
of gaining success and hatred in after
life.
There is q gentle murmur of APP
plause, as he gives his graceful bow, on
finishing his defamation; he enunci-
ated so distinctly the fragments from
Everett's grafton.
And now the audience, looking at the
programme, read:
"SPEEcH OF MARULLUs TO THE Romans"
VIM. Shakespeare. -Thos. McElrOy.
Thomas is seated among the boys,
red-faced and trembling, his eyes pop
ping out of his head, with suppressed
emotion.
He knew his piece so we'll. when he
acclaimed it to his mother last night,
but now, oh! horror! he can remem-
Der the first lines only!
Wherefore rejoice? What conquests brings We
home?
What tributaries follow him to Rome
To grace in captive bonds his chariot wheels?
Ye blocks, We stones, We worse than senseless
things!
Knew We not. Pompey? Many time and Oft"
What did they do "many time and
oft?" Something about "battlements
and chimney-tops," and "triumphs and
Pompey," but what, oh! what?
Tommy totters to the platform, try
ing to catch on to the missing verses on
his way. Will they come back when
he gets to them in his defamation?
All, the terror of the situation He
is now upon the platform; he has Civ
en- that awkward jerk to his head which
boys imagine to be bow; he raises his
hand in the "Fourth Position of the
Grafton" according to his Comprehen-
sive American Reader.
He feels he is stumbling all too fast
through the verses he knows, but that
rock ahead! that many time and eft"
business
He sees the universe is a blank to
him after "Pompey."
He hesitates, he stops; the verses
will not come; the room seems to whirl
around him; he hears Jamie's shrill,
spiteful laugh; he sees the little girls
put their fans up before their faces to
hide their smiles, and he hears the
teachers and distinguished guests in
the front seats uneasily shuttle their
feet.
1t is all over! He yields to the inev-
table, and, giving another jerk of his
head, precipitately leaves the platform
and rushes out of the room; and as he
runs down the stairs the whole speech
of poor angry Marullus comes back to
him as clear as daylight. even to the
final exhortation of the Romans to
prayer, and he hears family through
the door the voice of the next speaker
In declamatory cadence:

A GERMAN botAnist has given In
stances cl the mobilization Of plants
by insects so as to produce new varie-
ties.
THE number Of living specimens
known in the animal kingdom is at
least 100000 of which more than nine
tenths are invertebrates.
EXPERIMENTS in England have shown
that gas and oil are about equally good
for lighthouses and that the electric
light is superior to either in the fine
weather but probably not so good in
fogs.
AFTER much experimenting, DR..
Richardson has found satisfactory
means of causing painless death, and
has introduced into the Home for Lost
Dogs, in London. The animals to be
killed are placed in chamber charged
with mixture of carbonic oxide and
chloroform vapor, when they tran
gully fall asleep and wake no more.
From surveys of the Gulf of Mexico
il appears that its area is $4,000
square miles, and that the area of the
surface included within the l00-fathom
line is 1000 square miles-rather
more than one-third OF the surface hav-
ing depth of less than 100 fathoms.
The greatest record depth in the Gulf
is 2,l19 fathoms, the mean depth being
S5S fathoms-
In Holsters and crabs the mouth is
situated underneath the head, and con-
sists of soft upper lip, then pair of
upper jaws provided with short feeler,
below which is thin lower lip. Then
follow two pair Of membraneous under

next three sair of foot jaws. the horse
shoe crab has no special jaws, the
thighs answering the purpose.
SIR JOSEPH FAYRER considers it
most remarkable that poisonous
snake cannot poison one of its species,
and only slightly any venomous snake,
although it quickly kills harmless
snakes. A vigorous cobra can kill sew
rral dogs or from dozen to twenty
wis before its bite becomes impotent,
| then the rapid re-secretion of virus
IN makes it as dangerous as ever.
BIRDS are without lips or teeth, the
jaws being covered with horn forming
beak. This varies greatly in shape,
being extremely wide in the whippoor-
will, remarkably long in the pelican,
stout in the eagle. and slender in the
hummer. 1t is hardest in those that
tear or bruise their food, and softest in
water birds. The tongue is also COW
cred with a horny sheath, its chief
function being to secure the food when
in the mouth. 1t is proportionally
largest and most feshy in the parrots.
RESEARCHES in France by DIR.
Schultz have shown that citric acid
possesses powerful antiseptic proper
ties, which may give it an important
place as a food preserving substance,
since it is believed to be free from the
objection of unwholesomeness urged
against other antiseptic acids. Meat
fragments placed.in per cent. solu-
tion of the acid were in state of per-
feet preservation at the end of fifteen
tys. Experimenting upon organized
