THE LOST LETTER.

I have lost the precious letter
That the mail brought yesternight;
Lost it walking through the meadow
Where the cloyers are in white.
And ifyou should chanceto find it,
But you would not dream II mine;
For my name is not upon IT,
Only dearest" in each line.
Who would tell me that he loves me.
Who would say my lips are sweeg
Who would dream the wild wood blossoms
Only wake TO WOO my teets
That he faneied threads of golden
In my brown hairs warmest glow;
You might think his eyes were dazzled
By dart from Cupid's bow.
When he says my eyes have told him
He is dearest of all men,
You would think my cheeks would crimson
So they'd never pale again.
But my name is not upon it,
Only Dearest" in each line;
And ffyou should read the letter
You would never dream it mine.

Centuries Ago
In the London Gazette for March,
1855, there's an advertisement to the
effect that black boy Of about Is
years OF age, named John White, ran
away from Col. Kirke on the 18th
inst. "He has silver collar about
his neck upon which is the Colonel's
coat of arms and cipher He has up
on his throat great scar" etc. A
reward is offered for bringing him
back.
In the Daily Post OF August A,
1920, is a similar notice: event away
the 22d OF July last, from the house
of William Webb, in Limehouse Hole,
a negro man, about 90 years old
called Dick, yellow complexion, WOO
hair, about feet 6 inches high, hav
ing on his breast the word Hare burr
ed. Whoever brings him to the said
Mr.. Webb shall have half a guinea re-
ward and reasonable charges"
Again, in the Daily journal for Sep
TENDER %, 1928, is an advertisement
for runaway black boy. 1t is adj
ded that he had the words ''My Lady
Bromfield's black in Lincoln's Inn
Fields" engraved on q collar round
his neck.

male and female slaves in England
with collar bearing the name and

olive on.

However valuable and important
the olive as an article OF food, the
greater interest attaches to the oil
which it yields. The flesh Of the rip
ened olive is spongy, and its little cells
are filled with the oil, which flows at
the slightest pressure. The finest oil
is made by collecting the freshly gath
cred olives in little heaps, where the
weight of the fruit presses out the oil,
which is collected in receptacles. This
oil is clear with q pleasant nutty flaw
or, and is almost entirely without
odor. When the oil ceases to flow
from the piles OF fruit, pressure is APP
piled and slightly inferior quality is
yielded. The crushed olives are then
put into sacks, boiling water is put
over them and they are again pressed,
yielding by the latter process a yellow
ish green oil, which has sharp taste
and an unpleasant smell. At Mar
settles, which is a great center Tor the
trade, the oil is classed into six grades,
the lower being used for burning. for
the fabrication OF machinery and for
soap making. Olive oil is liable to

One of lis latest stories is this: "You know used to keep store at Ehrenburg. TT at was when Dick Mccormick was Governor. There was military post at Ehrenburg and the captain in charge of the Quartermaster's office dearly loved his whisky. Hardly a day passed that he did not fill his bottle from my barrel. We'll, one day Mccormick came into Ehrenburg on the stage from California and the East. He had seen the captains wife in Washington and she, knowing of no better present, sent by him bot tie of prime whisky to her husband. Temptation was too strong, however, on the dry journey from San Rernar- dino, cad it was only an empty bottle that the Governor arrived in Ehren- burg with. 1 helped him out. I filled the bottle from the usual barrel and Mccormick took the captain his wlfe's present. The scheme worked all right, for i. wasn't long before the captain called me over to taste some wonderful whisky his wife had sent him. l never gave it away, and l
