mo, Cal:
THE ADRlATIC.
This is local name for one Of
the most celebrated figs of the world,
producing the finest Smyrna figs Of
commerce, Identical OF similar to the
brand known as 'tErbelli." Ithas been
introduced into this country from
South Italy, and is there esteemed the
finest Of al figs.
The tree attains an enormous size,
forming large, dense head Of an nm
brella shape. The growth is very
rapid, more so than the Mission flo.
The foliage is dense the leaves deeply
and evenly lobed and glossy, of fine,
lnstrons, not sombre, green. As a
shade tree il is unsurpassed, and a
finer avenue tree cannot be imagined.
In growth, foliage and color it is en-
tirely different from any known in
Smyrna.
The Adriatic is equally fine for the
table. ltis eaten fresh, and is the
most delicious fruit, In size, howev-
er, the San Pedro Is superior.
The fruit Is Of the very finest quail
ity. The skin is thin like tissue paper;
thiunest at the base of the fig, and not
like most other figs thicker at that
point. In examining the finest dried
frnit of commerce they will all be
found to be split at the base, caused
by the thickness of the skin. The
Adriatic when dried aud subjected to
strone pressure in boxes acts similarly.
The pulp is like quantity of only
honey, and sEHseter and more favored
than any other fruit grown in Califor-
MIA. The seeds are small. There is
no hollow space in the center of the
fig, but the whole fruit IS a solid pulp.
The size of the fruit is large-as
large as any imported fig. The fruit
begins to riPen in July, and figs ripen
from that time continually until frost.
The principal crop is in August and
September.
The color of the fig when dried is
amber, and, similar to imported figs,
1t covers itself with q fne flowery
bloom.
The quality of figs produced is enor-
nous. The branches are actually
loaded down with fruit. No tree could
bear more 1t will bear tons of frui,
when old. The tree begins to bear
the year after it is planted, some trees
bearing few figs the first year. From
the second year the crop continually
increases.

Certificate of guarantee to Its goods,
such action furnishes the best posi-
bic evidence that the products are be-
lieved to be just what they are repr-
senteh 30 be. Sneh confidence on the
part of manufacturers and vendors
naturally begets confidence IN pur-
chasers, and hence it is that there has
grown to be, all over this great eonn-
try, such an unprecedented demand
for, and such implicit confidence in,
that most popular liver, blood and

Golden Medical Discovery, as no other

recommended, or the money paid for
it will be promptly refunded. 1t is
manufactured by the Worlds Dispen
sary Medical Association, of Buffalo,
N. Y, a well-known and financially
solid business corporation. No other
responsible manufacturers of medi.
cines have putthel remedies to such
severe tests as TO warrant them TO
give satisfaction, or to refund the
money paid for them. "Golden Med
zeal Discovery" cures liver complaint

pepsia, oil humors or blood LainLs,

After carefully examining all the
data we have, ailtbe statements of tbp
various ancient writers who allude 10
it, and all the facts which seem TO
bear on the question, am convinced
that in estimating the number at
4,000,000, ] am rather undertaking
than oVerstatlng it. Ittis much more
probable that Il was larger than thai
IL was smaller. DeQaipey also esti-
matss the Inhabitants of Rome at
4,o00,o 900. j will only cite one fact,
and then leave the question, The Cir
Gus Ma7imus was constructed TO hold
CSC, 900, or, according TO Victor, at q
later period probably, 49,, 900 specta-
tors. Taking the smaller number,
then, it would be one ia sixteen of all
the inhabitants il there were A 100000.
But as one-half the population was
composed of slaves, who must be
struck out of the spectators, when the
circus was built there would be accom-
mediation then for one in eight Of the
total population, excluding slaves. Re.
dueing again the number one-half by
striking ont the women, there W0uld
beIoom for one infour Again strik.
ing out the young children and the
old men and the alex and impoteBt,
you would have accommodation for
nearly the whole population. Is it
possible to believe that the Romans
constructed circus to hold the entire
population Of Rome capable Of going

OF course, there must be taken out Of that
the expenses of the mi {, but they are
comparatively small sum.
The process of coming silver pieces is an
interesting one, and Is the same, practically,
TO- dimes and for dollars. T e silver
bullion is first melted nd run into bars.
These in turn ara run through rollers aud
fattpue1 out 10 the thickness of the coin.
These silver str, ps are then passed through
a machine which cuts EN- into the proper
size fur the presses, the strips first having
been treated with a kind of tallow
to prevent their being scratched
in their passage through the cut
ters. The silver. pieces are then
put into e feeder Of the printing presses,
and are fed to the die by automatic ma
chinery. As the smo To pieces are pressed
b TIVE n the ponderous printing dies they
receive the lettered and figured impression
in manner similar to that OF a paper
pressed upon form of type; at the same
time the piece is expanded in a slight
degree and the small c0rrugations are cut
into its rim. The machine drops the CO n
pletei coin into receiver and il is ready
for the counters hands.
The IFS rument used by the counter is
not complicated machine by any means,
as one might suppose. II is a simple cop
per-covered tray, having raised ridges r IN
ming across It's surface at a distance apart
[. g exact width of a dime. From the re-
ceiver the money is dumped on to this
board or tray, and as it is shaken rapidly
by the counter the pieces settle down into
the spaces between the ridges. Ali these
spaces being filed, tle surplus in is
brushed back into the receiver, and the
counter has exactly $50 dimes, Sl25, on
this tray, which number is required TO fill
the spaces. The tray is then emptied into
boxes, and the money is ready for ship
me 1t.
The dime does not pass through the
weigher's hands as does the coin of a larger
de omnation. One and one-half grains is
a.O ed : n variation or "to.e9alce," in all
silver coins from dollar down, and the de
Walton from me sta lard in the case of 10
cent pie 'es is SO trifiing that the trouble
and expenses OF weighing coins of this de-
nomination is dispensed with.
