Tramp Restaurants Abroad.

Edinburgh can almost be reckoned as one of the best mooching towns in Great Britain and if were a beggar casting about for a life residence I think I should select this beautiful city, and that from my own personal experience. There is something deliciously credulous in the true citizen, and the university makes it specially good place for clothes. Our first meal ill the town we found at refuge" i'll High street. We paid penny apiece for quart of good thick soup and half loaf of bread. It was the largest quantity of food I have ever had for so little money, but it should be remembered that it was 8 charity

What did Abe say to that? Why, sir, he never said word, but they do say the tears started ont again, out from under the bandage and down his checks. But then Abe Le had 5-year-old pet mare he'd raised from colt-pretty as 8 picture, kind ;s kitten and fast as split lightnin-and next time doc come down Abe he just slipped out to the barn and brought the mare round and hitched her to the gate post, and when doc come to be goin, says Abe:
 "Don't forget your nag, doctor; she's hitched at the gate.
 We'll. sir, even then Abe had the hard est kind of time to get Doc Bralnard to take that mare, and when he did ride off, leadin her, it wasn't half an hour before back she came, lickety split. Doc said she broke away from him and put for home, but always suspected he didn't have no use for hOss he couldn't sell nor hire out and couldn't t afford to keep in the village-that was what Chicago was then. But come along toward fall Abe he took her right up to town, and then the doc tors practice had growed so much that he was pretty glad to have her, and Abe was glad to have him have her, seein all that had come to him through havln eyes like other folks-that's the school ma am, mean.
 How did the schoolma 'am take it? We'll, it was this way: After the cuttin Abe didn't show up for a few days, till the inflammation got down and he'd had some practice handlin his eyes, so to speak. He just kept himself to him. self, enjoyin himself He'd go around doin the chores, singin so you could hear him a mile. He was always great on singh, Abe was, though ashamed to go to singin school with the rest. Then when the poor boy began to feel like other folks, he went right over to where schoolna'a,H happened to be boardin round, and walked right up to her and took her by both hands, and looked her straight ill the face, and said:
 "Do you know me?"
 We'll, she kind of smiled and blushed, and then the corners of her mouth pulled down and she pulled one hand away, and-if you believe me-that was the third time that girl cried that season, to my certain knowledge-and all for nothin either time
 What did sAe say? Why, she just said she'd have to begin all over again to get acquainted with Abe But Ephe's nose was out of joint, and Ephe nowed it as well as anybody, Ephe did. It was Abe's eyes to Ephe's nose.
 Married? Oh, yes, of course, and lived on the farm as long as the old folks lived, and afterward, too, Ephe stayin right along, like the fool he always had been. That feller never did have as much sence as a last years birds nest.
 Alive yet? Abe? We'll, no. Might have been if it hadn't been for Shiloh When the war broke out Abe thought

Pickled Ripe Olives as Food.

California is rapidly expanding her olive industry, and it bids fair to be- come one of her most prominent. What now stands considerably ill its way is the want of taste for the home grown olive and its products among our own people. Only recently have we become convinced of the value of the ripe pie kled olive as food, for the green pickled olive is but relish and scarcely more desirable than any other pickle save for it's oily character. We begin now to think that the ripe pickled olive, if once generally used by our people, will who'll ly displace the green. Assuredly it is more digestible, also more palatable.
 Growers with whom we have convers- ed have excused themselves from put ting up the ripe fruit ill quantity on the ground that not only is there no demand for 1t sufficient to warrant large endeav- or, but that their efforts to create de- mand have not met with success. They say that even where they have offered to furnish hotels and restaurants free the caterers have refused to place the ripe fruit before their guests, and that grocers i'll like manner have refused to receive the goods and offer them to GUS toners. s.-SacramentO Record Union.

body always was that knowed her. The first day she come in and saw Abe at his desk, she thought he was squintin for fun, and she upped and laughed. right out. Some of the scholars laughed, too, at first, but most of lem, to do 'em justice, was 8 leetle took back, young as they was, and cruel by nature. (Young folks is most usually always cruel-don't t seem to know no better.
 We'll, right in the middle of the hush, Abe gathered up his books and upped and walked outdoors, lookin right ahead of him, and consequently seein the handsome young teacher unbeknown to her.
 She was the worst cut upyou ever did see, but what could she do or say? Go and tell him she thought he was mak- in up face for fun? The girls do say that come noon spell, when she found out about it, she cried-just fairly cried. Then she tried to be awful nice to Abe's ornery brother Ephe, and Ephet he was tickled most to death, but that didn't do Abe any good-Ephe was just ornery enough to take care that Abe shouldn't get any comfort out of it. They do say she sent messages to Abe, and Ephe nev- CT delivered them, or else twisted 'em so as to make things worse and worse. Mebbe SO, mebbe not-Ephe was ornery enough for it.
 Course the schoolma am she was boardin round, and pretty soon it come time to go to ole man Dodge's, and she went, but no Abe could she ever see. He kept away, and as to meals, he nev- CT set by, but took bite off by himself when he could get a chance. Course his mother favored him, bein he was so cussed unlucky.) Then when the folks was all to bed he'd come in and poke up the fire and peek into his book, but first one side and then the other, same as ever.
 Now what does schoolma am do but come down one night when she thought he was abed and asleep and catch him unawares. Abe knOwed it was her quick as he heard the rustic of her dress, but thera wasn t no help for it, so he just turned his head away and covered his cross eyes with his hands, and she pitched in. What she said don't know, but Abe he never said word, only told her he didn't blame her, not 8 mite; he knew she couldn't help it-nO more than he could. Then she. asked him to come back to school, and he Sn- swered to please excuse him. After a bit she asked him if he wouldn't come to oblige her, and he said he calculated ne was obligin her moro by stayin away.
 We'll, come to that she didn't know what to say or do, so, womanlike. she upped and cried, and then she said he hurt her feelin's. And the upshot of it was he said he'd come, and they shook hands on it.
 We'll, Abe kept his word and took up schoolin as if nothin had happened, and such schoolin as there was that win teri don't believe any regular acad- emy had more learnin and teachin that winter than what that district school did. Seemed as if all the scholars had turned over new leaf. Even wild, or nery, no account Ephe Dodge couldn't help but get ahead some.
 We'll. you've heard of Squire Caton, of course; Judge Caton, they call him, since he got to be judge of the supreme court-and chief justice at that. We'll, he had farm down there not far from

Fox river, and when he was there he was just plain farmer like the rest of us, though up in Chicago he was a, high up lawyer, leader of the bar. Now it so happened that young doctor named Brainard-Daniel Brainard-had just come to Chicago and was startin in, and Squire Caton was helpin him, gave him desk room in his office and made him known to the folks-Kinzies and Butt terfelds and Ogdens and Hamiltons and Arnolds and all of those folks-about all there was in Chicago in those days. Brainard had been to Paris--Paris, France, not Paris, Ills, you understand and knew all the doctorin there was to know then. We'll, come spring Squire Caton had Doc Brainard down to visit him, and they shot ducks and geese and prairie chickens and some wild turkeys and deer, too-game was just swarm in at that time. All the while Caton was doin what law business there ,w"7 to do, and Brainard thought he ought to be doin some doctorin to keep his hand in, so he asked Caton if there wasn't any cases he could take up-sur- gerry cases especially he hankered after, seein he had more carvin tools than you could shake a stick at. He asked him particularly if there wasn't any body he could treat for "strabismus. :" The squire hadn't heard of anybody ,dy- in of that complaint, but when the doctor explained that strabismus was French for cross eyes he naturally thought of poor Abe Dodge, and, the young doctoS was right up on his ear. He smelled the battle afar off, and most before you could say Jack Robin son the squ re and the doctor were on horseback and down to the Dodge farm, tool chest and all.
 We'll, it so happened that nobody was at home but Abe and Ephe, andit didn t take but few words before Abe, was ready to set right down then and there and let anybody do anything he was a mind to with his misfortunate eyes, No, he wouldn t wait till the old folks come home: he didn't want to ask no advice; he wasn't afraid of pain nor of what anybody could do to his eyes couldn't be made any worse than they were, whatever you did to lem. Take 'em out and boil lem and put lem back if you had g mind to, only go to work. He knew he was of age, and he guessed he was master of his own eyes-such as they were.
 We'll, there wasn't nOthin else to do but go ahead. The doctor opened up his killin tools and tried to keep Abe from seein them, but Abe he just come right over and peeked at lem, handled 'em and called 'em "splendid'-an so they were, barrin havin them used on your own flesh and blood and bones.

The Cadets of Royal Houses.

We English are monarchists from a belief that the European peoples are not yet civilized enough to manage repub- lies, from all intense dislike to plunge l into the unknown and as regards this country from conviction that the royal standard is the symbol which binds our possessions together, and that with the throne the empire would depart. But we are also convinced that in every country the most difficult burden which the throne has to bear is the royal family. In every country, from Russia to Servia, the story is always the same-that the people dislike the cadets and connec- tions of the royal house and regard them with a suspicious aversion which is deepened rather than lessened by the reverence for the monarch.

 "Poor Abe Dodge"
 That's what they called him, though he wasn t any poorer than other folk not so poor as some. How could he be poor, work as he did and steady as he was? Worth a whole grist of such bait as his brother, Ephe Dodge, and yet they never called Ephe poor-whatever worse name they might call him. When Ephe was off at show in the village, Abe was followin the blow, driv1n a straight furrow, though you wouldn t have thought it to see the way his nose pointed. In winter, when Ephe was takin the girls to singin school or spellin bee or some other fOolishness- out till after g o'clock at night, like as not-Abe was hangin over the fire, holdin book so the light would shine first on one page and then on the other, and he turnin his head as he turned the book, and readin first with one eye and then with the other.
 There, the murder s out Abe couldn t looked straight ahead he couldn't see the furrow-nor anything else, for that matter. His best friend couldn't say but what Abe Dodge was the cross eyedest cuss that ever was. Why, if you wanted to see Abe, you'd stand in front of him, but if you wanted Abe to see you, you d got to stand behind him or pretty near it. Homely? We'll, if you mean down. right "humbly," that's what he was. When one eye was in use the other was out of sight, all except the white of it., Humbly ain t no name for it. The girls used to say he had to wake up in the night to rest his face, it was so humbly. In school you'd ought to have seen him look down at his copybook. He had to cant his head clear over and cock up his chin till it pointed out of the win der and down the road. You'd really ought to have seen him; you'd have died. Head of the class, too, right along, just as near to the head as Ephe was to the foot, and that's sayin good deal But to see him at his desk! He looked for all the world like week old chicken, peekin at a tumblebug! And him a grown man, too, for he staid tC school winters so long as there was any thing more the teacher could teach him. You see, there wasn't anything to draw him away; no girl wouldn't look al him-lucky, too, seein the way he looked.
 We'll, one term there was new teach CT come-regular high up girl, do, [ from Chicago. As bad luck would have it, Abe wasn't at school the first week hadn't got through his fall work. Sc she got to know all the scholars, arc they was awful tickled with her-every
