THE APPETlZiNG OLIVE.
Various Uses of the on Of This Peeulisr
Fruit.


Fruit.
Though a native of Syria and posi-
bly, OF southern Grsece. the olive -four
ishes anywhere in q mild climate.
Western Asia. southern Europe. north
ern Africa, southern England, South
America, Mexico-in all these places
the olive grows readily, taking on an
average seven years before it attains
bearing power. Two hundred years
ago il was introduced into California
by Catholic priests from Mexico and
there it has thriven nightly. In South
Carolina it is hardy and fruitful. but
unfortunately the crop natures there
just when all labor is needed In the
cotton fields.
The fruit is too bitter unless picked.
Ranging in size from an acorn to a
large plum, IL is gathered green and
placed in strong solution of potash
or I've of wood ashes When the
olives change color this denotes that
the potash has struck through TO IKE
stone and they are then placed in water,
renewed several times a dav for five
days. A brine Of purest salt. with
spices, cloves, cinnamon, etc, boiled
few minutes and strained, to which
when cold an equal amount of water is
added, is then poured over the olives
and they are sealed up in bottles or
jars.
The olive oil OF commerce. on the
contrary, is made from the ripe fruit,
which is dark purple in color, like a
Damson plum. The finest quality Of
this comes from the fruit that has Just
begun TO ripen, but this does not yield
nearly so much. The pulp OF the dead
ripe fruit gives seventy per cent. oil.
The finest quality has faint, greeniSh
hue, faint, rather pleasing smell and
family pungent taste. 1t is chiefly
exported from Italy and France, in the
respective ratio of about FIVE gallons
to one.
The amount of adulteration, gener-
ally harmless, in this article is very
great. Not long ago the chamber of
commerce at Nice offered three thou
sand dollars reward for an invention
that would readily'detect this adultera-
ton The California oil is absolutely
pure but high In price and small in tho
quantity produced. In many places
among the Latin races this oil is a sub
stitute for butter on bread and in cook
ing. Like other oils it is highly nutri-
tious, but it requires a strong diges-
ton. 1t is also used in medicine as a
laxative, one or two fluid ounces being
the dose.
For the making of liniments, ONT
ments and plasters it is highly priced,
and likewise as basis for the best
soaps-those of CASTLE, Marseilles and
Venice. This oil was rubbed on the
wrestlers of Greece, and probably,
with mixture of perfume, would be \
hygienic addition 10 the Turk
ish bath. The olive. so the Greeks and
Romans thought, possessed as an edible
a trinity of virtues. They believed that
it excited an appetite for wine, i'm
proved the flavor of il and at the same
time had steadying effect-that is,
enabled man to drink with impunity
from- an overilux of IDEAS.

TOPEKA, Kan. July 5l.-RepUblicans
here are astounded at the Populists seem
| ing fearlessness Of public opinion.
The latest drag On the state treasury, in
the shape OF the cholera fund" of s, ESQ
which will be used In the campaign is so
open and fragrant that everybody Is as
| tonished. The fact that Lewslling ard
State Treasurer Biddle ard even Breiden-
thai could not stomach the deal, although
they were voted down, makes the matter
still more dangerous, from a Populist
view, a Lewelling can not establish his
own Innocence without proving the other
| Populist officials guilty.
Consequently, the first Populist gov
eminent on earth" is in very deep hole
Tie facts in regard to this latest piece of
shenanigan leaked out yesterday.
Last Friday the executive council, over
Lewelling and Biddle's protests, granted
the state board Of health permission and
authority to use the balance of the cholera
fund appropriated by the last legislature.
The original fund was $4,000 and was
appropriated tor the purpose of prevent
ing cholera Invasion, which was antic-
lpated IN many parts of the couutry at
that time. Only - 900 of the money WAS
expended IN this direction, which was
paid to the secretary and members of the
board IN lnstallments of 200 each for ex-
penseS in visiting various sections of the
state 70 look after the enforcement of the
sanitary regulations adopted by the board.
The $500 yet remaining In the treasury
Is now TO be used in similar way.
Those voting to give the board the use
OF the IS 600 were Secretary of State Os-
born, Attorney General Little, State
superintendent Gaines and State Auditor
Prather, with the understanding that the
expenditure should be made on approved
vouchers, Governor Leweiling aud State
Treasurer Biddle voted against the propO-
sition and filed protest which was spread
upon the minutes of the council.
The minority in the council expressed
the opinion that there is no immediate
danger of cholera invasion of Kansas and
hence voted against making the appropri-
alton available.
Robert II. Semple. member of the legis-
lature from Franklin county, and secre.
tary of the POpulist state central commit
tee, called upon number of the state Of
hclals today and read the riot act to them.
lie voted for the bill appropriating the
cholera fund" and says that the legisla-
ture intended the money to be used only
in cases of epidemics. He registered pro-
test against the action of the executive
council. Chairman Briedenthal also ex-
pressed his disapproval of the councils
action In positive terms. He says the
action was not only senseless, but bad
politics., and IL is understood that he is
making strenuous efforts to have the order
rescinded. 1t is believed among leading
Populists that he Will succeed. The eff. CT
upon public opinion Will be the same, but
the money may be saved to the state.

NJ. d'Arsonval, lecturing a short time
ago before the Academic des Sciences,
drew attention to the fact, says Flee
tricity, that the physiological effects OF
high-tension currents passing through
the human body were very similar 10
those OF drowning, the result being
suspension Of respiration, which could
often be restored by suitable means,
such as those employed in case Of
drowning. He referred more particu-
larry to an accident which recently
took place in France, where a current
at tension of forty five hundred volts,
with a frequency Of fifty periods per
second, passed through q mans body,
rendering him senseless. Artificial
respiration, however, was attempted,
and the man ultimately recovered NJ.

A DECEPTIVE TARGET.
&c Costs Something to Learn to Hit the
Dangling Ball.

| &c Costs Something to Learn to Hit the
Dangling Ball
A shooting gallery popularity that
has recently came into popularity con-
sists in very light and fragile ball of
blown glass, or in some cases hollow
egg shell suspended from string.
This always attracts the inexped-
enced marksmen, because the natural
destructiveness inherent in human ma
ture causes him to prefer to shoot at
something which he can smash rather
than at target that gets no harm
from his accuracy.
Therefore, says the New York Sun,
be wastes his three shots, at one and
two-thirds cents a shot, not on targets,
but on the suspended mark. And he
never hits it.
The experienced man in rife range
gunnery wastes no time on the de-
ceitful ball. He knows that it can't be
hit. Probably he knows it from ex-
pqrience, for it is one of those facts
that no man viii believe until he has
tried it for himself.
The reason for it is that very light
hollow glass ball, or a blown egg if
properly hung on 4 slender thread,
viii dodge any bullet that ever came
from gun barrel. The air that the
bullet piles up in front of it blows the
light mark out of the projectile's path
until it has passed, after which the
target swings back to its original pn-
sitiOn.
This is very provoking for the marks
man, who, if he be good shot, has
the doubtful satisfaction OF seeing his
target execute three quick lodges at
the aforementioned price of one and
two-thirds cents per dodge.
There is nothing, however, so re-
numerative to the proprietor as these
pendent marks, for the gunners, pro-
voked at their lack of success, will keep
on and on and on trying to hit mark
compared to which pin head would
be a barn door shot, and they only
give it up in disgust when the cost be-
gins to tell upon them or when some
wiser friend explains their lack of sue
cess.
Two dollars is q cheap price to pay
for the knowledge that one of these
hang ing targets is better mark for a
baseball than for bullet.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The prospects of
an agreement on the tariff were much i'm
proved today. For the first time in many
days the house Democratic conferees
came from the meeting with the state
meDt that previous irreconcilable differ
eaces were in process of amicable adjust
ment With much satisfaction the house
members stated to their associates that
the senators had shown disposition for
the first time to meet the house half way.
AS 70 when full agreement would be per-
fected there was some difference of opin-
ion. One house conferee said it would
probably be this week; another thought 1t
would be soon" Chairman Wilson
would not even admit that the under
standing had gone far enough TO warrant
the prediction Of a speedy report. he
said, however, shat the conference had at
least done business and made progress to
day, which was more than could have
been said of past meetings. The senate
conferees came from the meeting without
showing the hopefulneSs OF the house
members Thew said the conference was
rs far from an agreement as 1t had been.
While there was this conflict among those
thoroughly informed of the inside work
1ngs of the conference, the general belief
prevailed that the hopefulness of the
house conlerees had some substantial
foundation.
AGREEMENT THOUGHT PROBABLE.
One of the couferees said that while no
final agreement had been made on iron,
coal and sugar, yet sufficient had been
developed in conference to show that an
agreement could be reached on these three
most important items, which would be
acceptable to the senate and house con-
r.x,E
Whether it would be acceptable To the full
senate, this conferee expressed some doubt

had long, and it is said. satisfactory con-
ference yesterday with Speaker Crisp aud I
Chairman Wilson.
While the house conferees were so
pleased at the bright outlook, their sena-
Iorial colleagues cQDtented themselves /
with saying that while they were hopeful I
of reaching an understanding, nothing 4
had transpired in conference to base this |
hope upon. They declare that on the es-
sential items of disagreement the confer. /
ees are as far apart as they ever were.
AN INCREASED HoPEFULNESS
That bill Will be agreed upon is notice
able, however, upon the part of Demo
cratic senators who are not members of |
the conference. One OF the leading con-
EerVative senators said rs he was leaving
the senate chamber tonight that the tariff
bill would be- finally agreed upon by next
Monday. and he added, the bill would be
tie senate bill.
The day developed the possibility of a
report of partial agreement, and while
this report at first appeared as a vague
rumor, its possibility was afterwards con-
firmed by senators not members of the
conference committee. The fact that the
conferees had schedules other than those
relating to sugar, coal and iron ore under
consideration today is one fact in confirm
alton of the report.
