OLIVES.

The olive is one of the oldest known fruits. It is noted by Pliny and is fre- quentIy mentioned in the Bible, where it forms the basis of many parables and figures of speech.
 In Greeian mythology the olive tree occupies an important place and today the "oliye branch" is the world sym- bo1 for peace, says the Scientific Amer ican The olive tree itself is rather melancholy in appearance, but the eye soon becomes accustomed to the tone which the olive trees gives to the Iand- scape, and in nearly all of the Mediter- ranean countries they are found almost everywhere.
 The kernel of the olive requires about two years to germinate natural 1y, but it is found by mixing clay and other ingredients natures processes can be hastened so that it vii! ger minate and large olive tree near Nice is believed to be 1000 years old and is, said to have yielded 800 pounds of oil in a single year.
 In general the olive will flourish wherever the vines can be cultivated for Wine-growing purposes. It will not bear temperature below q or 22 degrees Fahrenheit, and in Europe 1t cannot be grown above 46 degrees lati- tude The young plants and fruit are very delicate, but the tree itself Is quite tough Naturally, in Italy, where the olive forms one of the principal agricultural products and contributes so largely to the wealth of the eoun- try, the trees are cultivated with the greatest eare.

A Desideratum.

A hospital, with nurse, surgical room,
bedrooms, bathroom, culinary depart

needed conyeniences, is something that
our physicians have often felt the Iced
Of, have frequently talked of, but have
never realized. DR.. w. W. Hamer is
preparing to supply the long felt want.
He has fitted up in an excellent manner,
eleven rooms over his offices, on east
Columbus street, that he will soon open
as city hospital, where any physician
will he free to send any patient when
any surgical operation is to be performed
or when for any reason, hospital treat
ment is desirable. His rates will be
extremely reasonable, and he will en-
deavor to make the hospital a blessing
to our city. The rooms are we'll lighted
and ventilated, will be nicely furnished
and warmed, have fine bath room
attached, sitting room on same floor and
also a kitchen and laundry, where
the food of patients will be prepared,
and the linen of their beds properly
laundered. A trained nurse of exper
fence will be in charge, and everything
that can be done for the comfort and
improvement of patients will be attend
ed to. The rooms are already finished
and will be completely furnished within
short time. Inquiries have already
been made by physicians in behalf oi
patients, and it looks as if the Doctors
experiment will be a success from the
start
