ORIGION OF THE PHILOPENA.
An Odd Legend From the German.

An Odd Legend From the German
There was once a BEAUTIFUL princess who
was very fond IF eating almonds, but who
did not want to marry. Therefore she
thought of the following plan: She had
the half of double almond presented to
every prince who sought her hand IN mar
riage-these were numberless and she
heaself ate the other half, saying: IF
my dear prince, you can from this time on
force me to take anything from your hand
without repeating the words, / remember
it, shall he ready for any proposals But
if can induce you to take anything from
my hand without remembering the i'm
portant words, yon will have your princeIy
mead close-shaved and leave my country al
once.
But there was a catch in this; namely.
according to court etiquette, no one wa>
allowed TO hand the charming princess
an thing, under penalty of death; lie lnusi
hand it to her lady of honor, who would
give it to the princess. But if the princess
wanted to give or take anything who
could prevent her? Thus is was but sorry
pleasure for her suitors, for when they
'ried to beguile her into taking something
{ ON their hands without Offering it to her
the lady of honor always interfered and
spoiled their best plans. If the princess
wanted to get rid of love for a day SHE
would behave most graciously toward him.
ill he vas perfectly fascinated and then
when he was sitting by her. almost beside
himself with Joy. she would take up some
| hing pear her, as if by chance-a pome-
granate or an egg-and say. softly: TAKE

as the prince took the thing in his hand

California Olive Oil.

A company in SOnoma county is prepar-
ing to spend $3.50, 900 in the building and
equipment of an olive oil manufactoy.
WorB will be begun at once, as the com
pany has sixty acres of six-year old olive
trees in full bearing, and is planting a
large additional acreage to olives. The
severe winters in Italy and southern
France have injured the olive orchards
there very much, and it i proposed to take
advantage of the fact and maze California
olive oil to supply the markets which have
hitherto depended on Europe for their
stock of OIL
Experiments which have been made else
where in California, q number Of which
have passed the experimental stage. have
shown concusively that olive oil of the
very finest quality can be made here, and
that it will meet with ready sale at good
prices. Indeed, there are some max.
ers of olive oil in this state who can no;
begin to supply the demand for their pro-
duct. California has already acquired a
very nigh reputation, and the only
strange thing is tina its manufacture has
not before this time been entered upon u
much larger scale than it has.
Olive oil is b. no means an insignificant
article of import into the United States
During the year ending June 80, 1889. we
imported 1913 gallons, the ear previous
654, 1872 gallons. and the year be-
fore that 644. 7O6 gallons. The value
of this oil is from so cents to 81 gallon
averaged, so we have been paying
France and Italy threc-qnariers of a
mi | on dollars a year. in round numbers.
for a product which may be made in Cali
fornia TO good advantage. Tie duty on
olive oil under the old tariff was % per
cent. I'D valorem. The new tariff fixes ii
at 50 cents per gallon, which is a consid-
able increase enough, certainly, to en-
courage the cultivation Of the olive and
the making of olive oil in this state.
There can be no raason why the manufac-
ture of olive oil should not become a lead
ing industry il California. Olive trees
will grow and flourish on hillsides and
ridges where nothing else will. The
Sonom county mandatory will be
watched with deep interest, as it is prob
ably only the forerunner of a large num-
Der of similar establishments in the foot.

CANADA'S NATIONAL EMBLEM.
How the Maple Leaf Came TO be Adopted
as the Emblem of Canada.
Evangelist

Nations are proud of their emblems.
The Scotchman glories in the thistle. The
Engllshman boasts of the rose. The Irish
man grows merry over the shamrock
And now the Canadian delights in the
maple leaf. The other national emblem:

history through rolling centuries, but Can.
ada 5 is of recent origin. 1t was adopted
In 1850, when the prince of Wales Wis.
tied the dominion and presented the
Hundredth regiment with their banners
At public meeting heIo for arranging fol
the royal visit, the following resolution
was passed: That all native Canadians
loining.in the procession, whether identi-
fed with the national societies or not.
should wear a maple leaf as an emblem Of
the land of their birth" Thus started
the custom grew into general favor. For
over thirty years the maple leaf stands
linked with Canada's history. 1t denotes
beauty, strength and solidity.

In ten minutes they had begun to curve
themselves in that direction, and acted ex-

The upper tendrils bent down and the side
ones curved themselves until they touched
the pole, and IN a few hours thev were
twisted quite round it.

OUR WOMEN HEROES.
KATE BRowNLEE SHERWOOD.

There are heroes for danger and heroes for war,
And heroes there are without cnevron or star,
Whose monuments rise to temple of fame,
Whose deeds neither herald nor trumpet pro
claim
The mothers who gave their brave sons to the
fray,
With tears for their pillows, but smiles for the
day!
The wives with their babies asleep in their arms,
Their hearts throbbing fast at the battle alarms
The girl leaning shy on her young lovers brea t,
One kiss, tbs the last ere his soul Is at rest;
The widow who passed from the freshly turned
clod
To comfort the wounded or to speed them to
God.
No soldier e'er answered the call of the drum,
No hero e'er died in the heat of the strife,
But women in sorrow hung over his life.
o, brave women. heroes your faith and your
pride
Have urged to the conquest, have cheered those
who died.
Your prayers have lit all the rough paths of de-
feat.
Till glory blazed over the lines of retreat.
When carnage ran reddest and a woman was
seen.
All hats were Uplifted as 'twere to q queen;
Now open ranks comrades, salute her once
more,
Untitled, unchevroned, but dear as of you're!
