How One Could Subsist on Five Cents
 a Day.
 A writer in the San Francisco Call is authority for the statement that if dried olives possess all the qualities claimed by their advocate a new in- dustry may be developed in that state and economical persons be furnished with fcod product palatable and high ly nutritious, which will cost no more than five cents day.
 W. s. Manning, of Ballard, Santa Bar bara county, has sent a 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 a ripe olive. The dried fruit will, of course, contain all these qualities, and all that is necessary to render it pleas ant to the taste is soaking and salting it. The oil of the olive is equal to meat and the pulp is as good as bread

STILL USING FLINTLocKS.
New Brunswick Storekeeper Says His
 Patrons Must Have Them.


 Some regions are rather slow to adapt themselves to modern game-killing implements. A Forest and Stream cor respondent got letter from New Brunswick the other day which said that fintlock guns were still in use up in that country. The letter was from a store keeper, who said that the store had carried supply of gun fints ever since it had been started by his grand father, away back in 1886. Probably he would lose trade if he did not have them in stock. It is not improbable that Indians in the North Woods of Canada still use fiintlock guns, but to use them so near New York as is New Brunswick is curious.
 A flintlock gun, beside a modern hammerless gun, makes a contrast apt to be remembered. It has been pro- posed more than once that sportsmen. instead of using such deadly weapons as modern guns, take up the old bow and arrow, or some other primitive weapon. The sportsmen that had killed modern deer with that ancient weapon could say that he was as good hunter as anybody. There are few or none that can boast of such a kill.

Clever Thieves Use the Pointer Dog as an

 Pointer dogs can always be trained to steal. Many of them are natural thieves without training, and any of the species can be taught. There is og of this kind in northwest Washington. He will pick up anything he can find around yard or outside of a store. Eut his speciality is ladies' pocl1etbools and handbags. When he sees one of these he grabs it and runs, always succeeding in getting out of sight before he can be captured or followed No owner has ever been seen, hence no complaints have been made at police headquarters but there is little doubt, if it were pos sible to follow the animal, that it would be found that he has been carefully trained as purse-snateher. and that lie takes his booty home to his master He seems to be aware that he is doing wrong, jumping fences and lodging around houses V hen running away

THE BENEFlcENT CROW.
What He Does for the Farmer Despite
 His Reputation.

What He Does for the Farmer Despite
 His Reputation.
 If farmers would make a study of natural history and it's bearings on their property-the relation of hawks to their hen coops, for instance-there would be better paying crops.
 The Year Book of the department of agriculture tells about COW black birds and what they eat. About 2,3oo of their stomachs have been examined, and of these 2,25S contained food. The birds were killed in 26 states. Forty eight per cent of the food was animal, 4s per cent. vegetable and four per cent. was mineral The blackbird has variety of things it eats.
 seThe animal food,' says the report, consisted of insects, spiders, myria- pods (thousand legs), crawfish, earth worms, sowbugs, hair snakes, snails. fishes, tree toads salamanders inewts), lizards, snakes, birds eggs and mice. y To these might have been added young birds, fish cast up by the tide, minnows caught while swimming in shallow water, and probably meat and carrion of various kinds. Most of the animal food is, of course, insects. These con stitute 46 per cent. of the total, the other two per cent. being the larger things, like mice. The animal food Is taken mostly in the summer. In wins ter. the food is mostly vegetable matter. The insects the bird kills more than make up the damage he does, especially as his nest robbing appears to be only an accidental habit not often indulged in. A large flock of the birds would of course destroy a lot of grain. Some 50,000 would eat about 5000 pounds a day, but they would consume as many insects, which would more than de- stroy the amount the birds do.

SPEED OF INSECTS.
NaturaIists Say They taI Fly ;.s East
 Fsrrl.:,


 Brrd;.
 It is 8 popular belief that ,,A!.e fight Of birds is much swifter than that of in- sects; but humber cf ilaturaiists who have been making a study of the matter think that such is not the case.
 A commo, house fly, fer example, is not very rapid in it's fight, but it's wings make 500 beats a second, and send it through the air 9 feet, un{er ordinary circumstances, in that space of time has been found that it car increase it's rate of speed to over 100 feetp second. If it could continue such rapid flight for mile in a straight line it would cover that distance in exactly B seconds.
 It is not an uncommon thing, when travelling by rail in the summer time, to see bee or wasp keeping up with the train, and trying to get in at one of the windows.
 A swallow is considered one of the swiftest of flying birds, and it was thought until recently that no insect could escape 1t. X naturalist tells of an exciting chase he saw between 6 swal- low and a dragon fly, which is among the swiftest of insects. The insect flew with incredible speed, and wheeled and dodged with such ease that the swallow despite it's utmost efforts completely failed to overtal1e and capture it.-Phila- l delphia Record.

FIVE MAMMALS.
Wild Animals That Inhabited England in
 Former Times.

Former Times.
 The beaver is one of the five mann malian animals that have inhabited England in former times, and have be- come extinct within historic record, ,ac- cording to Notes and Queries.
 They are the true brown bear, (Ursus arctos), the beaver, Castor fiber), the reindeer, (Tarandus rangifer), the wild boar, (Sus scrofa), and the wolf, (Canis lupus). The bear was abundant in the north of England and in Scotland when this country was in the hands of the Romans, and many Caledonian bears were imported into Rome. They dis appeared altogether in about 750.
 The beaver was numerous in some localities in the north of Wales in $40 and again in 1188. There are records of them much later in Scotland. Reindeer were abundant in Scotland, and were hunted in Caithness in the year 1159.
 Wild boars were numerous when large tracts of wood gave them harbor. They were hunted by the Tudors. They certainly existed in the year 1917, and probably much later.
 The wolf in England disappeared about 1490.
 In Scotland wolves were numerous in 1877. According to Pennant, they be- came extinct in 168O.

A WEE ROMANCE.
An End-of-the-C Century Idyi for the New

Woman.
 The world has laughed this long time over suits for breach of promise of mar riage, says an exchange. In volume of English law reports there is recorded a case well-nigh as amusing, whose oc- casion was not the breach, but the keep ing of a promise not to marry. The parties to it were rich, elderly woman and the nephew whom she meant to make her heir. He, it appears, fell vio- lently in love with fascinating young widow, and might have married her but that his aunt intervened. She did not try threat, diplomacy or detect i've investigation-she was another sort and knew trick worth all of them. She said plumply to the youngster that so long as he remained free of the widow he might count upon receiving from herself { 800 d year. Having more of prudence than sentiment, he closed with the offer, and for several years duly got and spent the promised sum.

There is more olive planting this season than at any pre- vious time, the boom being due to the increased popularity of California olives in American markets.

THE AFRICAN TROUBLE.
Causes Which Led to the Invasion
of the Transvaal.
The Foreigners Had Much Reason to Be
Dissatisfied with the Boer Govern
ment-some Reforms Already
Under Way.

While public attention has been eX-
cited for several weeks past over the
Transvaal invasion few have paused to
inquire what the trouble is all about.
The independence of the Transvaal as
a distinct republic was recognized by
the English government as longago as
1852. The recognition, however, car
ried with it some kind of a claim of
suzerainty which was supposed to pre-
vent the Beers government entering
into any foreign alliance or treaty
without the knowledge and consentof
Great Britain. In 1880 the British tried
to assert their supposed authority in
a way that the Beers did not like. When
it was resisted resort was had to force
of arms, with the result that England
was compelled to withdraw its troops
entirely from Transvaal territory. In
1881 another recognition of the indie
pendence of the Transvaal republic was
wrung from Great Britain.
The population of the Transvaal is
about 100000, but not more than ten
per cent. of this number is white. OF
the white population, what are known
as Uitlanders constitute the large ma
jority. British settlers form more
than one-half of these Uitlanders. 1t
is they who are really at the bottom
of the present disturbance. One of the
sections of the Transvaal constitution
provides that none but Beers shall have
any share in the government of the re-
public, and that the Dutch language
shall be taught exclusively in the
schools. At the same time 90 per cent,
or Whereabouts, of the taxes levied for
the support of the government is as
sessed against the Uitlanders, though
they are allowed no voice in the gov
eminent of the country.
Since the mining boom set in Uitland-
ers have been swarming into the Trans
vaal at the rate of 1000 or so month.
Rich gold and silver mines abound in
the territory, and Johannesburg, where
the trouble at this time is centered, is in
the very heart of the mining region.
The new arrivals among the Uitlanders
naturally want their children to

ways of Mexican Pickpockets.

Two German gentlemen were talking
at the corner of First Plateros street,
Mexico, just off the entrance of the
portal, when suddenly one of them
was roughly pushed by pelado. The
German tried to demonstrate, and even
made motions with his cane to punch
the offender. At this moment his COM
panion felt singing pain at the
back of his neck. Another pelado
had thrown a burning match in
side his collar, and naturally made
him throw up his hand, and
while so doing the pickpocket
grabbed the mans watch and chain and
ran away, followed by policeman.
The pelado was not caught. The Ger
mans timepiece was a silver one, of
little value, and what the Teuton felt
most keenly was the burning of his
neck.
The power of taste is believed to be
due to the fungi-form papilae of the
tongue. These are from twentieth to
a fiftieth of an inch in diameter, and
are found ON every part of the tongue,
but most thickly towards the tip.

English is taught, and, what is more,
the government will not allow one to be

to club together and organize and sup

The Uitlanders appealed to DIR. L. S.
Jameson, the administrator in Mashona-

pany, and he undertook to invade the
Transvaal with an army of 800 soldiers.
The disastrous ending of the expedition
has caused no end of worry to the Eng

failed of its purpose. According to the
