when peace and good will are of so
much importance in the home.
A little ill-feeling is like little
seed that may grow into large tree
which will shadow the whole house.

A Wife-ChoOsing Ceremony.

At the far end Of Naples lies the little
church of Santa Maria Annunziata,
which, once year, on the DAY of Our
Lady, wakes up into brief life and
excitement. In silent row before the
high altar kneel thirty girls, all in black
garments, with folded hands and eyes
fixed on the picture of the Madonna be-
fore them. These are orphans from the
neighboring foundling asylum, and once
year all those who have reached the
age of eighteen are brought here TO the
church, and may be chosen in marriage
by any honest man whose papers are in
order, and whose character is good. At
the door leading to the sacristy leans
gray-headed priest, the head of the
asylum. BY and by young man makes
his way from the back of the church,
and hands him little packet of papers.
These the priest reads carefully and, be-
ing evidently satisfied, he gives back the
papers and leads the candidate towards
the row of girls All their eyes are
tixel more steadfastly than ever on the
altar. all their hands are clasped tighter
together. their faces turn q shade paler,
their hearts beat quicker as the young
man walks slowly along the row. At
last he stops. His choice is made. He
stretches out his hand with little smile.
The girl rises, casts a long look-half
thanks, half entreaty-at the picture of
the Madonna, puts her hand into that of
the stranger, and together they disap-
pear into the sacristy. The ice being
thus broken. other suitors come forward.

"Come Now. Old CodRer."

In the Life OF General Taylor
the following anecdote Is related
The General was little CARELESS in
dress, and never wore complete
regulation suit when imperative duty
compelled He often had on some
hOmespun material and broad
brlmmed straw hat. One evening al
Newnansville he was sitting in the
tavern Office with three brother
officers, all veterans OF the prairies
and frontiers, and all roughly dressed.
On the arrival Of the eastern stage a
sprightly young officer, fresh from the
Military Academy, fine in his dress
and little over-confidento OF manner,
appeared upon the scene.
He glanced superciliously at the
rustic-looking men who sat talking
and smoking, and then addressed the
eldest, Colonel Taylor, for informa.
tion
"Well, old man, how are the Indians
now?"
II believe. sir, they are giving con-
siderable trouble,," replied Col.
Taylor
"Oh, they are are they?" remarked
the officer, with assurance. 'Well,
We'll fix matters soon. I'm an arm y
offccr, and on my way to take hand
in the war. How are the crops?"
"Nery fair, sir, L understand,
where the Indians can keep quiet"
And so on with pert questions from
the youthful officer and very respect
full answers from Taylor, who sturdily
kept up the imputed character with
out betrayal. AT last the young man
grew generous
Come now, old codger, you and
your neighbors take something-have
a drink with me"
The officers rose and solemly pledged
the bold young warrior.
A few days later at Fort Drane the
young officer was mortified and aston
ished, on the first inspection OF his
company by the senior officer To see

ing straight toward him the old
farmer OF the tavern. Col. Taylor
smiled when near him, and said, re-
tiectively:
"Come now, old codger."
The abashed young man asked some
experienced officers what he should
do. They laughingly said:
"Oh, with Col. Taylor simply Moth
ing"
After day or so the Colonel called
up the young officer, and when he
attempted an apology for his rude
ness, said
my young friend, you have had a
good lesson. Let me give you piece
Of advice that l think may be Of i'm.
mense advantage to you. Never
Judge a stranger by his clothes"
That was the end Of the affair.

Preservation OF Rings.

Don't wear your rings under
gloves unless you remember to have
them thoroughly examined twice a
year." is the advice given by a
jeweler. The constant friction wears
out the tiny gold points that hold
the stones in place, and unless strict
attention is paid to them they be-
come loose in very short time.
Small purses of suede leather are
made on purpose for rings, or any
soft pouch OF skin or chamois may be
used to place the rings in when de-
string to- carry them around with one.
They should never be put into the
ordinary pocket-book. as the rubbing
against coins is also bad for them.
Diamonds can be cleaned at home to
look as well as when done by a
jeweler, if only little is taken. They
should be thoroughly cleaned in alco-
hol and then dried in lockwood saw.

this purpose.

Save the Forest.

Now that the question OF saving
the forests Of the White Mountains
Is fresh In peoples minds 1t becomes
interesting TO know what the result
OF forest destruction in other lands
has been. A report on this subject,
as far as 1t relates TO France, shows
that the denuding OF the mountains
OF their covering Of trees has
caused destructive torrents to
sweep over the neighbOrhood plains,
laying waste rich agricultural lands
and producing immense losses. Within
forty years, IL is calculated France

The French Chamber has recently
appropriated half million dollars TO
be expended in planting the noun.
tains with trees.
After all, the evil that has been
quickly done is soon repaired, if the
right means are taken. IL is eX-
pected that in ten or fifteen years the
mountain sides will be again clothed
with trees. or course the full benefit
OF the undertaking will not be ex-
perienced as soon rs that.
There is perhaps no country that
has suffered more from the alternate
/ floods and droughts arising from
stripping of the natural covering OF
the hillsdes than the United States.
Yet we continue TO threaten ouI
remaining forests with destruction.

RAISING THE OLIVE.


| ncco III ShhIoTnia.
AS yet the business OF growing the
olive and expressing the oil Is In its
infancy on this side OF the Atladtic,
but some men In California are pay
! ing especial atteD oiOn TO this indus
try. There are two popular varieties
OF olives grown in that State--the
Mission, large, meaty fruit, and
richly productive OF oil. The Mis-
sion Is green, and Is the variety usu-
ally found on the tables OF restau-
rants and hotels. The Pichaline Is
about the size OF "a well-deyeloped
cherry and dark red in color. The
fruit is picked by Chinese, who stand
on stepladders and quickly strip the
tree. When the berries have been
cleaned they are placed in mill that
has The appearance OF large coffee
grinder. Thence they are carried to
the press, which completely crushes
them. Tin cans catch the oil as it
oozes out and this is allowed TO stand
several days, during which time a
frothy scum rises TO the tor. This
Is repeatedly skinned of until all
the sediment has been eradicated.
There are three strata in each can.
At the bottom lies the water, above
this floats the oil, on the top the
froth Of fermentation. When clear
the oil is drawn of through faucets
In the side of the can, and Is then
bottled for the market This oil,
when clarified, is OF pale green tint
and very clear. 1t is sold by the pro-
ducer at the rate OF Sl6 gallon. 1t
requires from ten TO fourteen gallons
of fruit to make one gallon OF oil.
The olive tree Is hardy and long
lived and will thrive on land that
will give sustenance to no other fruit
bearing tree. 1t requires no irriga-
tion; fifteen inches OF rain distributed
in the course OF year is enough for
the olive. II only requires warmth
and good drainage. The Mission olive
is a slow-growing tree. 1t requires
about twelve years from its planting
for it To fully develop as fruit
bearer.
The majority OF olive orchards in
California are grown from cuttings.
Early in the fail, sections OF olive
branches about half an inch in
diameter and ranging in length from
eight TO twelve inches, are cut from
the trees. These sections are buried
collectively and allowed to remain
several weeks in the earth until the
warm rains have thoroughly saturated
the ground. They are occasionally
examined, and when a shoot is dis
covered putting out from a section, it
is removed and planted by itself at a
depth OF eight TO ten inches The
shoot grows slowly, and the follow
ing fall will have reached the height
Of about eighteen inches. 1t Is ready
then for transplanting. In planting
an orchard the trees are set twenty
feet apart each way They grow very
straight, and the foliage Is dense and
OF rich green hue.
The harvesting begins the first
week Of September, and after the
fruit has been taken from the trees
pruning begins and the tree is
trimmed in the form OF cone.
