Dried olive. for Food.

Manager j. A. Filcher, Of the Cali

communication of rare interest from
Southern California regarding the rails

dried olives possess all the qualities
claimed by their advocate, new in

and economical persons be furnished
With food product palatable and
highly nutritious which will cost not
more than &c a day. w. s. Manning
of Ballard, Santa Barbara county, has
sent q sample Of the dried fruit for
the inspection of the board Of trade
He contends that no product on earth
contains as much of the elements Of
nutrition necessary for the sustenance
Of the body as ripe olive. The dried
fruit will Of course contain all these
qualities, and all that is necessary to

seemed to fairly blaze with the Joy Of
1t as the music poured upward into
heaven and fell backward to caress the
earth.
What hymn Of joy 1t was those
bells pealed forth! The great bass
deafened the sky with the grand bra
zen cry Of Christ has risen" And
the tenors, struck to their hearts,
shouted sonorously, "Christ is risenw
while the changing sopranos, as though
fearing their lesser voices should be
lost to the grand chorus, hurriedly,
like gleeful children striving to out
strip each other, screamed thousand
times, "Christ has risen!'
And that sad old heart forgot its
cares, it's eorrows and its insults.
The gray bellringer heard only the
brazen music, now singing, now weep
ing, now floating to the starry sky.
now sinking to the wretched earth; and
it seemed to him that he was sur
rounded by his children and grand
children and that these were their hap
py notes.-the voices of old and young
together pouring out in one grand
chorus hymn Of joy and rapture.
So the old bell ringer pulled the
ropes with strong, nervous arms while
tears poured down his cheeks and his
heart ran fairly over with happi-
ness he had never known before. And
below the people listened and they said
to each other that Micheich had never
rung SO wonderfully before.
Then suddenly the great bass bell
besitated-and was silent. For q mo-
ment the others gang an unfinished,
uncertain harmony. Then they, too.
ceased, and there was silence save for
the low, sad, trembling droning Of
their stilled but still resonant Threats.
The gray bell ringer had fallen help
lessly on the bench beside the ropes,
and two tears silently rolled over his
pale cheeks.

Naum, many years dead and buried,
once more was intoning the end Of q
prayer, while children's voices united
In the responses. Hundreds Of peas
ants bowed and rose like corn before
the wind. Now they crossed them

The old, familiar faces were Of those
long since dead. There was the stern
visage Of his father. There stood his
elder brother at the old mans side,
signing deeply and crossing himself
again and again. There he himself
stood, young, healthy, strong and joy
full, full Of expectation Of a LIES hap
pihess.
+ Where was that happiness now?
The old mans thoughts flickered up
like q dying fame. Recollection IL
lumined the hooks and corners Of his
life. And all he saw was endless,
ceaseless, merciless labor-labor far
beyond his strength. He saw sorrow,
too-much sorrow-and suffering unut-
terable.
All, where indeed was that happiness
Of which he had dreamed?
The burdens of life had wrinkled his
young face, had bent his powerful
back before The time had come. They
had made the joyous boy sigh as his
elder brother had sighed.
There on the left, among the women
Of the village, with her head humbly
bent, he saw his sweetheart. She was
good woman. May the peace Of God
