The olive tree begins to bear in four
years from cuttings and both oil and
pickles of the first quality can be pro-
duced in California. The olive-crop
of Southern Europe is estimated to be

A writer in the NeW England
Medical Monthly says that unreason-
able apprehension of possible calamity
depresses the vitality, and thus indi-
rectly increases the power of disease.
He cites the case of a man so panic
stricken about cholera that he rushed
Immediately out of his town, leaving
his family to follow. He died in a few
days, not of cholera, but of fright.

A Western man who has lived
among tornadoes all his life who was
raised with them. as it were, says
that it is easy to distinguish u tor
nado from an ordinary blow. A cy-
clone or tornado north of the equator
always comes from the southwest. Its
first appearance is that Of a local
cloud. 1t always comes when the
barometer is low. 1t is nothing more
than an electric storm. The earth re-
fuses to receive the electricity that is
constantly being generated, and it ac-
cumulates in mass. When the cloud
extends from one side of the horizon
to the other, there is no danger of a
cyclone.

Cold water bathing may prove bene-
fetal or injurious Much depends
upon the method, and still more upon
the person who practices it. n recent
writer in the British Medical Journal
lays down the principle that there are
those whom cold bath will injure in
jure instead of invigorate. The readi-
est test of benefit is the glow of free
surface circulation. or, at least, the
absence of any decided chill after i'm
mersion. Those who take TO it should
begin in summer. not winter, and so
become gradually accustomed to its
lowest temperature. No one should
linger over it; three or four minutes
are ample After immersion the body
should be quickly and well dried and

The Yaquis, that tribe of Indians
that is giving the Mexican govern
ment so much trouble, are not lighting
for their original right of domain, but
place their claim upon title from
the King of Spain. They do not recog'
nize the Republic of Mexico. No
taxes are levied on them. or if levied
they have not been collected. They
are a hardy agricultural race, living
on small patches of fertile soil on the
Yaqui River. They steal stock when
an opportunity offers, but have rarely
in the last few years committed any
murders. Caiemo, their chief, is of
fair education for Mexico, and is a
stern ruler. He has absolute control
over them. The nations combined
number over fifteen thousand, OF
which at least five thousand are adult
males. Their principal arms are bows.
arrows, spears, and a three -cornered
bludgeon made of ironwood. Some of
the arrows are poisonous. They also
carry powdered stone in small sacks,
used by them to throw in the eyes OF
their adversaries.

The postmaster-genera has ap-
proved design for the ten cent special
delivery stamp authorized by Congress
at its last session. The stamp will be
about twice the size of the ordinary
postage stamp, and the shape of dol
ar note. On the left of the stamp
there is pretty vignette of messen-
ger boy in uniform. Across the top
are the words: UNITED States Special

tom the price of the stamp, ten (1O)
cents, is expressed in figures and let

DIR. Kleiber, of st. Petersburg, has
just published the results of investi-
cations by himself and DR.. Kellar on
the amount by which the earth's mass
is increased each hour by the meteors
falling upon the globe from space. On
an average, it is said that single OBJ
server will see about ten meteors an
hour. A single observer. however,
does not command the whole of the
sky above his horizon, actually only
about twenty-three per cent. OF it.
But, combining series of separate
deductions, it would appear that about
100000 meteors fall upon the surface
of the whole earth each hour. The
average weight of Il meteor. it is
shown, may be taken at five grammes;
whence it follows that the earth re-
ceives hourly not less than 1850 pounds
of foreign material

Mr.. Elkins says that wealth has
been increased both in Europe and
America three times faster than popu-
alton. While Great Britain has got

America increase IL, 900 human beings
every day and create 100000 pro
perty. The United States now has
100000 more property than Eng
land, her mother country. Mr.. Elklns
quoted Bismarck as saying, three years
ago, that "the United States had the
most illustrious success of all modern
nations" and Gladstone said that we
were the wealthiest of all nations.

rior and the Secretary of War naturally
are the chief takers around the table.
Tomorrow the Central American news
is interesting, and Secretary Bayard
and Secretary Whitney of course are
the most deeply concerned. Opinions
are passed all around the board, howev-
er, and nearly every member has some
thing to add to the common fund OF
information. The President has al
ways two or three vexatious ques-
tions on hand to submit to his
councillors. The encroachments upon
the public lands, and the enforcement
of the laws providing for vacating them,
have been discussed at length at two
recent consultations of the Cabinet, and
the Central American muddle and the
question as to the political disabilities
of Gen. Lawton and others have fur
nished topics for other meetings.
The political history of the past hall
century is full of quarrels and dissen-
sions in the Cabinets of various Presi-
dents, but these outbreak, as q rule,
have not occurred at stated meetings of
the Cabinet. There have been instances
where members became so hostile to
one another that one or the other would
stay away from Cabinet meetings, and
many cases where personal relations
were so strained that only icy formali-
ties were passed by way of greeting;
but as q whole the sessions of the Presi-
dents with their advisers have been
pleasant and without remarkable Incl
dent.
The members of President Cleye-
lands Cabinet are just beginning to get
acquainted with one another at the
semi-weekly talks. Thus far they are
brethren pulling together in unity.
What effect the political strains that are
to come will have on the pleasant cir
Gle remains to be found out.
