geles, who have bought nes.lv all the
olives in this valley, have est blished
curing plant at the Hewes ram about
three miles southeast of Orang They
expect the crop of this valley to ;-oount
to about eight hundred barrels, four
hundred of which will be gathered rom
the Hewes ranch. The work is ben.
done under the supervision of Geol~a
Robb. a gentleman who has been cor
nected with the olive industry for the
past decade. Employment will be giver
to ten to fifteen women and thirty tC
forty men.
All the olives are ripe when picked
Those intended to be an olive-greel
color when cured are soaked in lye from
twenty-four to forty-eight hours, an6
then kept in fresh water from ten tc
fourteen days. They are then put il
brine and are ready for use a day OF
two afterward. Those intended fol
"black" olives are first thrust through
an augur hole in a piece of wood, which
has four little knives projecting from
opposite sides. In passing through the
olives receive four little Sits and ther
fall into a receptacle below. They are
soaked in fresh water from thirty tC
forty days and are then put in brine
for a week or two. This process takes
about two months and that to produce
the green olives a little over two weeks
There is absolutely no difference in the
quality of the fruit or the degree of
ripeness when picked.

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 5.-(Regu-
lar Correspondence.) An event of more
than ordinary interest occurred Thurs
day evening in the reception rendered to
Rev. F. V. Fisher of the First Methodist
Episcopal chuhch, which was largely at
tended, and a very enjoyable occasion.
From the feeling engendered over the
departure of the preceding pastor,
through what the society considered
unfair treatment at the hands of the
presiding elder, it was feared that the
inharmony would seriously impair the
usefulness of the society, but the new
conner has already got firm hold on the
affections of his people, as was evinced
by this gathering. The program in

pastors of other churches, Rev. DR.

Healey, and a reply by the honored
guest of the evening.

Epicures Owe Much to the Monks

THE epicures of the world are largely
indebted to the French clergy for the
luNuries they enjoy" said a famous
French restaurant keeper in New York.
"rhe monks and cures OF France have
done as as much for their country in the
preparation of savory delicacies as the
most renowned chefs. One of the larg-
est oyster parks in the country was
started by Able Bonnetard, the cure of
Ia Teste. whose system of artificial cul-
tivation is now SO successful that of the
number of oysters distributed through
out France every year perhaps two
thirds are produced by the abbe. Canon
Agen was the discoverer of the terines
of Nerse. The rillettes of Tours are the
work of a monk of Marmountiers. The
renowned liqueres of Chartruse, Trap
pistine, Benedictine ard others betray
their monastic origin in their Names
and the strangest part of their pro-
duction is that they should be the work
of the most severe and ascetic of re-
ligious bodies.
THE elixir of earns is the invention of
the Able earns. The Bizirs sausages
were first prepared under the direction
of the Prior Lamoureux. The popular
BergougnOux sauce was first mingled by
the Able BergougnouX. The delicate
Floguard cakes are the invention of the
able of that name. Even the immortal
glory of the discovery of champagne is
attributed to a monk. To these may be
added the delicacies in bonbons. con-
fectionery and the like, whiI, owe their
origin entirely to nuns in French con-
vents. s."-Washington Star.
