Their superiority to all rivals was shown
last evening by the rendition of the first
number, .'Thc Wedding March. sung in

His Reasons.

People sometimes ask me why spell
my name with two MS" said Repre-
sentative Hermann. when / was a
student in Maryland years ago, got
the idea into my head that would fol-
low the fashion and eliminate the extra
letter. startsd in by writing to my
father, respected and prominent physi-
clan in Baltimore, and signing it in the
improved way, Your affectionate son,
Bingr Herman. My father quickly
detected the change, and back came a
letter whose earnest reproaches have
never forgotten.
HE pointed out that the name stood
for one of the greatest heroes of antiq-
uity, Armenius, the Hermann of Taci-
tus, who stood like bulwark against
Roman lust of conquest, and to whose
leadership the ancient Germans owed
the preservation of their nationality,
their language and their freedom. He
said that name was given me by those
who alone had the authority to confer
it, and with their consent the name
should never be altered, even in respect
to letter. The rebuke l received SO
impressed me that concluded If the
name was good enough for my father it
would be good enough for me. Wash

a MosT MYSTERIOUS VISION.
An Uncauny Dream In Which Major An
dre's Fate Was Depicted.

An UnCanny Dream In which Major An
dre's Fate Was Depicted.
The following instance may serve Il
strikingly justify Colquhoun's theory
that there is an original spiritual. ener
gy expressed in dreams which has moth
ing to do with the state of the body an(
is beyond the power of the soul when i
has been reabsorbed by the material or
ganization on awaking.
Prior to bis embarkation for Americs
at the outbreak of the Revolutionary
war Major Andre went to visit a friend
Miss Rebecca Steward, who lived il
Derbyshire. During his stay it was ar
ranged that they should ride over tC
view the wonders of the famous Peak
1t was also Miss Stewards desire to in
troduce the major TO some friends in the
neigh borhood, including Mr.. Newton
and the curate Of the parish, Mr.. Gun
ningham. She had given both these gen
tlemen notice of her intention, and
while awaiting her arrival Mr.. Cum
ningham took occasion to tell Mr.. New
ton the circumstances Of a dream he
had had the night before, which affect
ed him so that he could not shake of
the recollection of it.
He said that he was standing in the
midst of a forest that was entirely
strange to him. After gazing listlessly
around him for few moments he per
ceived horseman approaching at great
speed. AS the latter came opposite the
spot where the dreamer stood three men
who seemed to have been lying in am
bush sprang from their place of con-
cealment, and seizing the bride of the
horse ordered the rider to dismount.
They then carefully searched his person
and led him away. The face, figure
and bearing of the horseman made &c
deep an impression upon Mr.. Cunning
ham 3 mind that he awoke, but falling
asleep again presently dreamed that he
was one Of a throng of spectators near
a great city; that be saw the same per-
son he had seen seized in the wood
brought out between files of soldiers,
who marched him to gsllows and
there hanged him. When Major Andre
and Miss Steward arrived, Mr.. Cunning
ham was horror struck to discover in
the person of Miss Stewards friend the
very man whose seizure and execution
he had witnessed in his dream.
Here was an accurate anticipation of
events that actually happened within
12 months frem the date Of the dream.
The capture of Andre, the search Of his
person for documents that convicted
him for acting the part of spy and his
public execution constitute one OF the
most dramatic episodes of the contest
with the mother country. How is it
imaginable that so definite vision of
coming events could arise from the in
fluence of any physical condition on the
mind of the sleeper? What possible
state of the body could confer upon the
sonl the power TO describe future occur
rences with srch exact fidelity to de-
tails?-New York Times.

His Trip to Japan.

The rector Of one of the up town
churches announced in Sunday school
that all the boys who were faithful at
tendants at the classes for a specified
time should be taken on stereopticon
trip to Japan.
Time passed, and the period was fin
ished. But before the promised enter
tainment could be announced there was
ring at the rectory door one day, and
a good woman appeared inquiring for
the preacher. He was out, and she was
told she must come again.
She was willing, adding that she
wanted to see him about her boys 60
ing TO Japan. He had won the trip, she
said, but she didn't know what clothes
he would need or what preparations she
might have to make.
1t is to be feared, though it issnot so
stated, that the rector was out the next
time she called too.-New York Times.

ire was made to keep careful watch OF

just done. This year the tree produced
so perfect oranges, averaging in size
about the same as the fret crop. The
increase is over 600 per cent. If the tree
increases at that rate each year It will
soon be able to support q good-aized fam

In this connection we may say that
6. W. Hinclay of Winters recommends
planting peach trees for early fruit az
follows:
Plant the rows which run north and
south two rods apart, the trees being
one rod apart in the rows. This is l615
by 33 feet. This gives the sun g better
chance to warm the ground about the
trees, and thus secure earlier fruit than
though the ground were shaded more
by closer plsnting of the north and
south rows.
All factors that enter into the problem
OF planting orchards should be carefully
studied by the orchardist, and thought
full consideration given to the entire sub.
ject in all its details, from the selection
OF the ground to the marketing of the
fruit. Under such conditions fruit cul-
ture is not likely to be overdone. But
of thoughtless. indiscriminate planting
OF poor trees in unsuitable places and
subsequent poor cultivation and lack of
careful attention we already have
enough.-[California Fruit Grower,

Thinning Prunes.


1t is very truly said that the question
of thinning prune trees depends upon
the cost. Many large growers claim thst
the cost is too great, though they admit
that the somewhat crude but speedy
method OF knocking the budding fruit
off the tree with a stick may be profta-
Bile. Thinning results in finer and larger
fruit, all admit. The tree expends its
energies in perfecting the remaining
fruit. A writer in the HeaIdsburg En-
terpriHe cites q specific case of q email
prune orchard and says:
NOW, right here, the question sug-
Rests itseli-does or does it not pay to
thin prunea? Let us figure little on
this proposition. We will take, for ex-
ample, little prune orchard Of about
l43 trees. about mile from Healdsburg.
These l43 trees bore last year 10 tons
OF green prunes, or fraction less than
2lO pounds TO the tree, equal to about
rs pounds of the dried article. With
hesvy crop in sight all over the state,
OF courEe the prices will be much lower
than lset year, probably about the same
as il 1891. Dried prunes sold that year
at about 31a cents for 110-140's, and
about 41s cents for 60-70's, making
difference Of one cent per pound be-
tween the two grades, or matter OF rs
cents per tree.
81 think it is admitted that Just ae
much weight can be obtained by proper
thinning SO by letting the fruit mature
at its own sweet will. II that be so,
then the only question remains, will
the extra cent per pound pay the labor
OF thinningP But even if thinning
should cost the entire difference in the
price. there is still in its favor the fact
that the larger will sell readily when the
smaller is drug in the market. This
proposition is certainly suggestive, and
should be worth the while Of our prune
growers to think about"
The "Baby Orange Trees" Second Effort
The Ojai: About year ago the Ojai
published an account of the pretty big
effort of ''naby orange tree" 2 years
old, growing in Mr.. w. E. Wilsie's or
chard at tie eastern end of the lower
valley. At years of age an orange tree
is supposed to do no work except to
grow big and healthy, but this tree bore
l3 unusually large and delicious navel
oranges, the smallest one OF which
measured 101S inches in circumference
and weighed 10 ounces; the largest
one measured 1873 inches and
weighed just one pound. The
total circumference of the IS
oranges was l2 feet 438 inches; the
total weight pounds 10 ounces. The
item was copied into about every enter

Soil for olives.


As TO the kind OF coil in which the
olive succeeds, Elwood Cooper of Santa
Barbara says that he has trees growing
without irrigation in black adobe. on
stony hillsides, on tRblelsnd with clay
subseil, in sandy lands made from the
waeh OF the mountains, with no differ
ence in the bearing OF the trees or the
oil made. They are known to succeed
vi ere peach, aprieot RGd nectarine
nlkali, and elso ia land go rocky and
ST, ep that IL cannot be ploWed.
Our virgin coils of California are rich
in lime and potash, two OF the chief
constituents required by the olive tree.
Prof. Hilgard has stated that the sub
stance OF olive oil is taken entirely from
the air. and that If the crop is made
into oil and pomace and sll other offsI
returned to the land from the out
set, it needs no other manure il the soil
is fairly good one; it does not wear
out tbs soil, but If the fruit is picked.
returns should be made to the soil, su3
then potash and nitrogen are especially
called for. The olive tree hourishsa
un3er vAried climatic conditions; it will
Withstand q temperature Of IA degrees
above zero; it nuccseds in the dry in
terror vsileys of the state, where the
mercury during summer often ranges
from 100 to l20 degrees in the shade
along the coast and on the high foothills
of our mountain ranges. In Algeria,
latitude 35, it thrlves at an elevation oi
1890 feet above the level of the sea in
Italy at a height of 3200 feet, and there
is bearing orchard in about the lati.
tude of Pomona, situated upward ol
5000 feet above the sea- New Era.

Tbo Olive IN America.

That the olive tree is destined to be
widely planted in various parts OF the
United States is reasonably certain.
The tree is hardy, and will thrive under
adverse conditions, though, of course,
the best results follow the best care, as

ia the case OF all other kinds OF fruit
trees. Whenever the American people
shall have learned the great value oi
pure olive oil (Which few OF them have
ever seem, its consumption will I'M.
! doubtedly become very great. As a
food and as a medicine there can be
no question OF the value OF olive
oil, ana whenever such Legislation
can be secured from congress as will
lead to the honest branding OF i'm
ported salad oil, the industry will begin
to take high rank in this country. 1t
has been found by repeated analysis
that not per cent of che so-called olive
oil, imported into the United States, is
pure, while large percentage OF it con-
tains on olive oil Whatever. The olive
Is ct present produced on a large scale
only in California, although trees were
planted in Florida 20 years ago, and
in come other of the southern states
even before that. While most of the
olive orchards in California are still
young, the acreage reported last year
from that state WAS 1897 acres. The
trees will undoubtedly thrive through
out the southern parts of the arid
west, and in the region OF its pos
sible growth the olive is found to be
quite cosmopolitan, and will flourish in q
great variety OF places, cold being the
main obstacle to its growth. In Califor-
MIA the berries ripen from November to
January, according to location, and may
be harvested when other work is not es-
pscially pressing.
Aside from the oil the olive is the
most delicious pickle ever made, when
properly treated. Most Americans are
accustomed only to the u8s OF the green
imported olive pickles. To such the
rich, ripe, black or dark purple picked
olives OF California would be pleasing
surprise. Those accustomed to compar-
ing the two classes of pickles assert that
there is a great difference in favor of
the ripe fruit as between the green and
ripe stages of any other fruit-even the
peach.
The progress made during the past
three years in preserving the ripe olive
in the form OF a pickle has been re-
markable in California. The ripe olive
thus prepared haH all the piquant char
acter needed in pickle, added to a rich
olesginous food OF the highest quality.
Whenever. therefore, the American
people become sufficiently educated to
appreciate pure olive oil and ripe olive
pickles at their true value az food sub
stances, the demand for them will be
practically Observation-Disclosures Age.
