Food for the Poor of Various Iands--A
Travellers EXperience.

Travellers Experience
The extent to which the olive is used varies
greatly in different countries. In northern
countries it IS used chiefly as a relish eaten by
itself, or as n sauce, seasoning or stutfing for
meats, fowls or game 1t IS on the tables of
the rich what the French call hors d'nuvrc
that is, side dish or table supeTfiuity
But it Is far otherwise with the poor in the
south of Europe, TO whom it is an important
article of diet. In ancient times the poor
made an entire meal of bread and olives. IL
Is still the same IN some parts of Europe,
where peasant thinks himself prepared for
a journey with a piece of bread under his
arm and handful of olives in his pocket. IN
southern Italy no meal Is made without
olives The olive merchants pass regularly
at supper time through the poorer quarters Of
the city.
It IS the Spanish habit to cat olives ut tho
end Of a meal, but not too many. Three or
four are usually thought enough, or if they
are very good one may eat Il dozen An
Italian author recommends the preserving Of
Spanish olivcs-that Is, Of thoSc grown ON
Italian soil-but prefers those Called st
Francis, which Is common ut AScoh where it
attainS the size of walnut 1t Is. however,
generally agreed among gourmets that the
smaller olives are lest for eating. The man
ncr of treatment has, nevertheless. perhaps
something to do with the coarse quality of the
Spanish olive when found IN the peninsula.
Olives are preserved in Italy, - elsewhere, tx
weak I've or brine. They are also lTus-,l,
stuffed II the Bordeaux manner or dricl
In eastern countries, whence the olive came,
the fruit forms still an important article of
diet. y Traveller relates that he found de
licinuS meal OF eggs, olives and grapes
offered him lay the monks of the monastery
OF Auaut LihanUs. 1t is traditional in the
Catholic church that the monks living in the
desert fell principally ON olives. Throughout

tries about the Mediterranean the olive has
remained, rs in the most ancient times. "A sub

|. HARKINS billiard, ESQ, State Agent
Mutual Life Insurance Company OF
New York:
DEAR SIe-I desire, through you, to
thank the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York for the promptness
with which they paid over to me the
sum of Ten Thousand Dollars, that be-
ing the amount for which the life of my
late husband, John X. Strous, was in
sured in your company. Though only
insured for the short space OF eight
months. they paid the entire sum before
the expiration of sixty days. which Is
seldom done. l cannot find words to
express my feelings of gratitude to you
for inducing my husband to take out a
policy, thereby providing for myself, his
aged mother, and four little children.
1 hope you may succeed in persuadlnS
every married man in taking apoiicy,
so that if it should please Providence to
call the father and husband, he could
die easier, knowing he was not leaving
his helpless family depending on stran-
gers.
Sincerely wishing the Mutual Life In
surance Company of New York all the
success it deserves, l am yours. most re-
spectfully, MARGARET j. STRouS.

4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

A monster locomotive was moving around
the yards Of the Northern Pacific road yes
terday. ltwas the largest engine in use in
the United States and was turned out few
days ago by the Baldwin Locomotive works,
Philadelphia, which establishment has built
several of these pOnderous engines for use
in South America on heavy grades. The
locomotive is styled the ''DecapOd," and it
is one of the two that the orthern Pacific
road has ordered TO be built for the Cascade
range division. where the grade is 800 feet
TO the mile. Some idea can be had Of this
great pile Of. machinery from the fol-
lowing figures. The cylinders are twenty
two inches in diameter and the piston has
a stroke of tWenty-siX inches. There are
five pairs of drive wheels. each fOrty-five
inches in diameter. The weight when in
working order is 100, 900 pounds, or eighty
tons. The weight of the tender when
flied with coal and water is -. 900 pounds.
The boilers are siXty-eight inches in diam
eter. Standing on the track, the locOmo-
tive. from the headlight to the rear of the
tender. covers fifty-fOur feet OF ground. It
cost S13. 400. 1t is fitted with all the mod
ern safety appliances and is as perfect and
ponderouS piece of machinery as ever
came into st. Paul. Beside it the moguls
OF the Pennsylvania roads would look al
most ike ants. 1t went West yesterday af-

Heading tor the Coast

By the new folder just issued by the
Manitoba road, some idea can be gathered
OF the rapidity with which the main extern
sion of that line is creeping towards the
Pacific coast. With people who are not
closely interested in the road, it is gen.
orally supposed that the road has gone no
farther west than Devils Lake The new
map shows that the line has been built due
west TO the town of MinOt. located nearly
in the center of " ard county, on the
Mouse river. which flows through valley
as remarkable for its richness as is the
valley Of the Red river. Minet is many
miles west of Devils Lake. and beyond it
the line is dotted, indicating that the road
will be carried on probably until it
reaches the Pacific coast It's
location is about half way between the
Northern and Canadian Pacific roads.
Reaching north into the Turtle mountain
country are spurs to the Park river valley.
Cando and into the Willow river country,
all parallel lines, which MI. Hill seems to
have penchant for building.
