HIS FRESH OLIVES.
How q California Planter Amuses Himself

At the Expense of Innocent Travellers.
Eastern visitors to California are al

counties of the state. The lovers of
the succulent fruit when picked and

THE GREEN CORN DANCE.
How 1t Is Conducted Among the Potta-
watomia Indians in Kansas.

watomia Indians in Kansas.
The Pottawatomie Indians are at
present having their annual green
corn dance on their reservation. about
twenty miller north of town. The
green corn dance is a celebration to
the Indian deity on the arrival of the
green corn. as the name suggests, says
the Topeka Journal. The dance lasts
day and night for sometimes as long as
eight days. though of late years the
limit has been shortened as civiliza-
tion approached. 1t will probably
soon die out altogether.
OF course the braveS-thcy alone do
the dancing not dance all this time
without rest. The dance simply keeps
up that long. different braves dancing
while others rest. The exercises are
conducted in ring not unlike the cir
Gus ring. The participants are dressed
in all the grotesque costumes of the
race. with feathers. beads and furs.
The braves are seated around the edge
of the ring with faces to the center.
The music, which consists of several
Indians beating on one skin drum in
the middle of the ring, you could not
distinguish, but there must be some
tune about the noise. for the players
always strike together without a
break. The dance-which consists of
contortions of the body that only an
Indian is capable of and hidcouS imita-
tions fthe cries of wild animals-Iasts
continuously for about half an hour.
and then the music stops. while one of
the braves in the ring makes "A speech,
always in the Indian tongue.
The squaws' part of the programme
lies in taking care of the babies and
cooking grecn-colorcd liquid from
the corn, which is brought into the
ring in tin buckets steaming hot, and
from which the dancers take refresh

ACID FOB MAKING SUGAR.
A Curious Process Which Has Met with

A Curious Process Which Has Met with
Some Success in France
A very novel method of making sugar
has been patented in france by NJ.
Pellegrini. says the American Archi-
tect Sugar is chemically, a compound
of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. in
.--,ch proportions that if carbonic acid,
wafer and certain kinds OF illumin-
ating gas could he persuaded To unite.
in the proper quantities. the compost
tiun OF sugar would be exactly imi-
tated. hitherto no one has been able
to make sugar by mixing water with
two kinds of gas. but NJ. Pclleyrini
claims to have succeeded. The APP
p2ratus he uses consists of large block
of pumice stone, cleansed by soaking.

ter, which i set in an iron box plated
with nickel inside. The length Of the
box Is three times that Of the pumiSc
stone block, which Is tightly fitted into
the middle. and pipes are arranged to
convey the ingredients to the empty
ends OF the box. as required. Two OF
them enter from the sides. and serve
to bring carbonic acid and hydro-carbOn
gas. while another pipe from above
branches 50 as to reach bOlh empty
portions OF the box and conveys steam.
All the pipes are fitted with valve and
pressure gauges.
Another pipe. at the bottom of the
box. serves as an outlet. At first this
pipe l. closed. as is also the steam pipe
from above. and carbonic acid is forced
into one end OF the box. while cthylcne
gas Is forced into the other. under equal
pressure and in equal volumes. few
minutes later the steam valve above
Is opened and the steam forced in
under the same pressure. As the gases
unite the pressure falls, 50 that the
supply Of each must be kept constant.
At the end of half an hour the supply

opened and one of the chambers is
found to be filling with syrup. con-
tanning twenty-five per cent. of sugar
The syrup is drawn off for refining
and as soon as the apparatus Is cool it is
ready for Il fresh charge. The cthylcne
gas can he obtained by roasting rosin
or grease. but NJ. Pcllegrini's patent
covers other hydrocarbons. such as
petroleum products. The explanation
iS that the three gases are condensed
in the pores of the pumice stone and
there unite: but VI. Maumcne. who has
made some experiments. declares this
to be doubtful. and in Cosmos expresses
doubt as to the success of the process.

spect for His Mother.
During my bohemian days it oc-
Cured that sat in an uuptown cafe
with the sort of man whom this Incl
dent will reveal, says a writer in the
New York Press.
A Withholding. unkempt chap, gaunt,
shabby, with a four days growth OF
beard. rushed in, looked wildly around
and then hurried over to my compan-
ion and took him aside. As a result of
their conversation the man with me
turned to me and said in whisper:
II am going to ask you to loan me
two dollars. but don't you do it.
Then he asked me and l refused the
loan. and the gaunt man went unstead-
lily out.
Queer duck. that said the man at
the table with me; always getting
into scrapes, taking out opera COM
panies and leaving them stranded. The
last scrape he got into was in Montreal.
He telegraphed home: i am in jail on
a technicality. but don't tell mother
That struck me as very funny, Don't
tell mother But he was always an
Unbalanced ass, anyway"
Now the thOughtfulness of his moth
er in the young man who wanted to
borrow two dollars struck me as a
rather deserving trait, and | left my
companion abruptly and followed him
out l saw enough of him to convince
me that he was not a man of business,
and not even an admirable character.
However. ! loaned him the two dol
lars. Since then he has been consider
ably in the public view in many ups
and downs. But he is now coming
home from the other side as the inn
presario of lot of continental stars
wish him well. Like Mark Twain
love a man who never shakes his moth
er. This ones name is Robert Grau.

AMERICAN RICE PAPER.
The Chinese Tree Is Now Successfuli!
Grown In Florida.

The Chinese Tree Is Now Successfully
Grown In Florida.
The rice paper tree, one of the most
interesting of the flora of China, has
recently been successfully experiment
ed with in Florida, where IL now flour
ishes with other subtrOpical and ORR
entail species of trees and shrubs.
When first transplanted in American
soil the cxperimenters expressed doubts
as toits hardness. fearing that II would
be unable To stand the winters. All
these fears have vanished, however,
and it is now the universal opinion that
it is as well adapted to the climate of
this country as to that of the famed
FlOwery Kingdom
1t Is a small tree, growing to a height
of less than fifteen feet. with a trunk
or stem from three to five inches in
diameter. Its canes, which vary in
color according to season, are large,
soft and downy, the form somewhat
resembling that noticed in those of the
castor bean plant. The celebrated rice
paper, the product of thi. queer tree, is
formed of thin slices of the pith, which
is taken from the body of the tree in
beautiful cylinders several inches in
length.
The Chinese workmen apply the
blade of a sharp. straight knife to these
cylinders, SAYS the st. Louis Republic
and, turning them round either by
rude machinery or by hand. dexterOus-
ly pare the pith from circumference to
center. This operation makes roll of
extra quality paper. the scroll being of
equal thickness throughout. After a
cylinder has thus been pared it is un-
rolled and weights are placed upon it
until the surface is rendered uniformly
smooth throughout its entire length.
1t is altogether probable that if rice
paper making becomes an industry in
the United States these primitive modes
will be done away with.

Origin of the Walking Stick.

Probably the patriarch's staff was
the first adaptation of the walking
stick and from its first inception to the
present day it has undergone almost
endless changes. In 1901 footmen at
tending gentlemen were forbidden to
carry swords, these being replaced by
porter's staff Thirty years later
gentlemen were forbidden to carry
swords, but allowed to carry large oak
sticks. Before many years vanished
and polished woods with ornamental
heads came into use and in one form or
another have held their own in public
popularity.

The Judge is a Favori:e.

Marshall News Messenger: - Th'
Judgeship of the ninth district, to bt
decided this fall, is in comment among
some of the papers in this district, and
the rumor that ''Judge Weber may not
be candidate to succeed HIMSELF" we
regard as the best evidence that he will
be candidate, and the candidate Of the
people. Such IS certainly the almost, If
not quite, unanimous.se sentiment OF coun-
ties in the west end of the district, and he
has already been warmly endorsed by
the Republican and Democratic press Of
Nicollet county and jury resolutions OF
Renville county. The above rumor
arises from the fact that Judge Weber
will not consent to be candidate unless
he is satisfied the people of his district
desire his retention in the position, and
this stand is so in keeping with his man.
illness and the dignity of the office he
holds, that it will command the respect
and esteem of his constituents. Judge
Webber has made record unsurpassed
by any judge in The state. He has given
his duties the attention they demanded,
and his decisions have been endorsed by
the higher courts to a degree on par
with any bench in the state, and far
above the average. He is an honest and
honorable man, credict to his district,
thoroughly independent Of political
utilization, and has the confidence of the
bar and the people.
