Not Temperance Measure.

One practical result of the enforcement
of the Raines excise law in Brooklyn on
Sunday was the purchase on the day be-
fore of 1880 TASKS filled with whisky
That this compulsory change from beer
to whisky is in the interest of temper

well doubt. Instead of well regulated sa-
looms in the large communities of New
York state many men will now become
their own bartenderS on a Sunday, and
many families will be made familiar in
their daily lives with the use of spirituous
liquors.

"A writer in the San Francisco Call is
authority for the statement that if dried
olives possess all the qualities claimed by
their advocate, new industry may be
developed in this state and economical
persons be furnished with a food product
palatable and highly nutritious which will
cost no more than five cents day w. S.
Manning of Ballard, Santa Barbara coun-
ty, has sent sample of the dried fruit for
the inspection of the board of trade He
contends that no product of earth con-
tains as much of the elements of nutri-
ton necessary for the sustenance of the
body as a ripe olive. The dried fruit will
of course contain all these qualities, and
all that is necessary to render it pleasant
to the taste is soaking and sailing it. The
oil of the olive is equal to meat and the
pulp is as good as bread. Three of the
largest olive groves in the world are plant
ing in Southern California One grove.
OF 400 acres, in Orange county, will contain
1900 trees. Another, near Cotton, will
have $4,000 trees, and the third, near Po-
mona, will have 240O0 trees There is more
olive planting in California this season
than at any previous time, the boom be-
ing due to the increased popularity of
California oranges in American markets.
The olive crop of Southern California last
season was worth S120,OO0,a DIN the growers
say that three times the amount of fruit
could have been sold.

Some Bygienic Arguments In Favor Of

While this question. which c~onfronts
the h~ousekeeper with every recurring
spring, is one which she must settle
according to her own notions and ne

many of the inexperienced who will be
interested in having the best points of
each set before them.
Briefly, then. for housewives of mod
crate means, with one servant, living in

readily seen that rooms can be kept
with less labor if the floors, or a margin
of them. are stained and the center COW

How to Prepare Tobacco Dip.

Speaking OF tobacco dip, a writer
says it will require for 100 sheep 100
gallons OF water. and TO make that
strong enough to Kill ticks and the scab
it will require the addition of all the
fluid that can be extracted from %
hounds of tobacco. The tobacco should
be thoroughly STEPPED and boiled so as
to get all the strength out of it. To
this mixture ten pounds of sulphur
Should be mixed separately in n pail Of
hot water. and after being thorough
l. stirred should be added TO the dip.
II tobacco stems are used, at least
