PICKLING RIPE OLIVES.
The Process Used by a Grower
RedIandS


RedIands.
| The California Fruit-GrowerD prints
the following receipts for picking olives
| furnished by f. NJ. Hunt of Redlands:
No. l. For ten gallons of ripe olives,
carefully picked without bruising, dis
solve one pound Babbitt's concentrated
| lye In three or four quarts of water by
heating; add cold water until the whole
amounts 10 five gallons; pour it over the
olives, which should be in an oak tub or
| cask with q Ia 0cei at the bottom to draw
of the liquor or water; stir them fre-
quently for the frs. few hours with q
wooden paddle, being careful not to
bruise them, alter which stir them once
in two hours AT the end of two aud
one-half days examine them to see if the
lye has penetrated to the pit, which is
done by selecting few OF the berries and
slicing them with knife. Ii much of
the flesh remains white, draw off the I've;
rinse the fruit with several buckets OF
water and put on fresh lye, prepared as
before. Usually this last bath OF lye for
twenty-four hours ia sufficient, 1t not be-
ing necessary that the lye should pene-
trate to the pit OF all the berries, as the
process of removing the Iye from the
fruit will take out what bitterness re-
mains. The lye paths are to take bitter
properties from the olive, the next pro-
cess being to remove the lye from the
fruit. This is done by frequent baths of
clear. cold water Use the water freely
for Tho first day or two, after which
change il three times day, until the I've
has nearly disappeared, then put on
strong brine for one days which will re-
move the last of it. II any lye should re-
main 1t is easily detected by tasting the
fruit. Soak out part OF the strong brine,
when they are ready for the rinal pickle
OF salt and water, which can be made TO
suit the taste.
No. z. This consists in removing the
bitterness from the Iruit with clear, cold
wafer. Cut each olive with sharp knife
in two or three places half or two-thirds
the length OF the berry, dropping them
into water as the work is done. Treat
them to the water baths in tub or cask
as III No. l. Change the water three times
day or oitener, until the bitterness has
disappeared, when it is ready for the
pickle of salt and water.
During the process of pickling olives
always keep the tub or cask GOV cred TO
exclude the light. In picking the fruit
for pickles, it is best to drop them into
water while taking .hem from the tree
anu Keep them there until you are ready
to use then.
In using recipe No. 2, it takes q long
time TO remove the bitterness, but this
method makes richer and better fla
yored pickle, because the Iye process de-
stroys part of the oil in the fruit The
picked olives can be kept in crooks or
Kegs during the winter months. Always
keep them In dark, cool place. Should
the brine become clouded or discolored,
change it for the fresh brine, first rinsipg
the olives with clear water. AS warm
weather approaches. give the olives a
stronger brine and seal them in fruit
Jars or bottles, and they will keep nicely
all summer. but will require little fresh
ening for use.

EUROPEANS EXCITED
Because of the Troubles Chat Have
Arisen in the TransvaaI.


Arisen in the TransvaaI.
NEW YORK, Jan. IA special ca
Bile to the Herald says: A great SEN
sensation has been caused in Europe by
the difficulties that have arisen in the
Transvaal between the Beers and the
Uitlanders, or aliens, because of the
large interests of Europeans engaged in
the gold mines of the republic. Here in
France public opinion and that of the
official world is very distinct against
the aliens, that is to say, against the
English.
The origin of the trouble is very SIM
pie The old Beers, who are the descend
ants of the original Dutch settlers, re-
fuse the Uitlanders, who are nearly all
Englishmen, to take part in the direc-
tion of the affairs Of the TransvaaJ
The Beers know that if the English or
the partisans of England had the least
share in the government of the Trans
vaaI the independence of the republic
would quickly disappear, and that Cecil
RI odes, who has always had desire
to annex all South Africa to the Cape
colony. would speedily find a means to
realize his ambitions.
The Transvaal region is exceedingly
rich, and England has never ceased to
regret not having taken the Boer coun-
try long ago. Europe which is thor
oughly acquainted with the cynical pro-
cedure and methods Of England, be-
gins to think that affairs have gone far
enough. Every time that a similar case
presents itself Europe viii be for those
whose liberties are menaeed by Eng
land.
People who know Africa we'll believe
in the possibility of armed conflict be-
tween the Beers and the Uitlanders.

the Bad Management Alleged.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 31.-The
Call" tomorrow will say: Governor
Budd, accompanied by his wife and two
other ladies as guests, arrived in this
city this evening. The Governor will
remain until next Friday, and probably
have several conferences with regents
of the State University on the subject
of affiliated colleges.
The report OF DR.. Ruggles, President
of the State Board of Health, who made
an investigation of the Founding Hos
pital of Sacramento at the request of
the Governor, is on file in the executive
Office. The report does not disclose
wretched management by any means.
The beds were not found to be infected
with vermin as the charges indicated.
The mortality among children under
2 years of age was found to be 80 per
cent. This is not a higher rate, it is
said, than is shown in similar institu-
tions in the East. The infants coming
to the institution for shelter generally
suffer from exposure and neglect be-
fore they are received, hence they do
not possess the strength to survive the
ailments as children nourished at home
would. This in a measure amounts for
the high percentage of deaths in
founding hospitals.
The report of DR.. Ruggles does not
show neglect of the foundlings to an
extent that would cause death to follow
In the matter of supplies some improve
ment in the quality OF food purchased
may be recommended.
Governor Budd is confident that he
has in his possession a complete and
fair report of the management of the
institution, although he has not had
time to give it a thorough considera-
ton.

During the last few months some OF
the gentlemen connected with the Mu-
scum of Natural History at Paris have
given to the world various interesting
results OF their observations. says the
Pittsburg Dispatch.
The learned professor at the museum,
Leon valiant, describes the diet OF a
serpent more than twenty feet long,
which has been on exhibition at the
JarGin des Plantes since the month of
August, 1885 Up to the end Of 1895 this
reptile has eaten fifty times-that is, on
the average of five time a year The
largest number Of times in one year that
the snake took food was in 1856 when
he ate seven times.
Nearly always the food consisted of
the flesh of goats. old and young Three
times, however, the Tepast was COM
posed of rabbits and once goose The
feeding Of the serpent which will eat
nothing but what IS alive, offers an un-
common spectacle, and many persons
request to have notice of the times
when the creature feeds. so as TO wit
ness the feeding. Yet the lightning-like
rapidity with which the reptile seizes
its prey produces a powerful impress
! sion.
Apropos of the volume which can. by
means Of distention, enter the stom-
achs of serpents, Prof valiant relates
that a French viper was once put in
the same cage with horned viper. AS
these individuals, although belonging
TO different species, were Of the same
size, II was supposed that these rep
tiles would live amicably side 10y side
Nevertheless the horned viper during
the following night swallowed his com
panion in captivity, and I'm order to
accommodate this prey so disprolor-
tionate to itself its body was distended
TO such a degree that the scales. in

inal rows OF them a space equ their

Literature Claims His Existence hut Few

A writer in the Buffalo Courier repre-
sents some one as asking this interest
ing question; Did you ever know any
one who could converse brilliantly at
breakfast" The question is a good
one Why, indeed, should not conver-
sation be brilliant at the breakfast
table, when the brain is fresh, yester-
days worries have all been slept over
and to-day's have not yet come? And
were not the genial autocrat, professor
and poet speakers at a breakfast table
where surely the conversation was
nearly akin to brilliancy? There are
other books that give as eariymorning
talk conversation which their authors
think worth printing and now and then
in the journal or the letters of a great
man there is a reference to a breakfast
table discussion. Yet what one of us
has ever really come in contact with
brilliant talk at a. m? The very
