. MANY KINDS OF OLIVES.
They Are Imported ia Casks Chiehy
From Spain and Bottled Eere. /


They Are Imported in Cashs Chiefly
From Spain and Bottled Eere.
Most of the olives eaten in this
country come from territory about
hundred miles i'll diameter, al ound
the city Of Saville, in Spain. They
are imported in casks of 16O gallons
each, the importations, varying with
the crop, ranging from 5000 to 6OOO
casks year, and averaging about
1000 casks.
Olives are sorted in Spain accord
ing to sizes, and each big cask is filled
with olives of approximately The same
size. There are twelve trade sizes.
Formerly the sizes were described by
names; now they are more commonly
known in the trade by numerical des-
ignations, the names indicating the
number of olives to the kilogramme.
Thus seventy-fves means olives that
will count from seventy to eighty to
the kilogramme.
The olives are imported in brine.
Formerly many olives were imported
already put up in bottles, but almost
all the olives sold in this country are
now packed here. The work is done
chiefly by women and girls. There
are ingenious machines for pitting
olives that are put up pitted, but no
machine has yet been invented for
putting the olives into the bottles
with the symmetrical arrangement in
which they are now 50 commonly seen.
This work, the building of the wall
of olives around the inside of the bot
tie, where 1t may be seen through the
glass, is all done by hand, the filler
placing each olive in the bottle sepa-
rately with tongs made for the pur-
pose, every olive and row being ar
ranged with care and precision, SO
that the effect OF the whole is attract
i've and pleasing This is slow work
for beginners, but experts come to fill
bottles very rapidly, and perfectly as
we'll, and with such deftness of touch
on the tongs as not to bruise or mar
the olives in the handling. The inte-
rior space having been packed to its
capacity, the bottle is filled with
specially prepared brine, to be then
corked, capped and labelled, the bot
ties being then packed in cases.
Olives are put up in a great variety
of packages; a single packer in New
York uses bottles in hundred differ
ent sizes and styles. Olives are put
up in better shape in this country
than anywhere else. The glass used
in making the American bottles is
better, to start with, and the bottles
are more perfect in form, the olives
are more handsomely packed in the
bottles, and the bottles are better la
befled; the whole package, in fact, is
better and more slightly in appear
ance.
Olives are packed nowadays in this
country in other cities than New York;
but the chief importations come to
this port, and more olives are packed
here than at any other point. From
this city olives are distributed all
over the country, and carload of ol-
ives, either in bulk or in glass, are
not uncommon shipments. New York

MIR. BRYAN ON GOVERNMENT
BY INJUNCTION.

In his Labor Day speech, at Chicago,
Mr.. Bryan touched upon the platform
declaration against government by in
junction at greater length than in any
of his previous addresses, and his ut
terance was so temperate and conser-
vative that the Mckinley press must
feel rather foolish in repeating the silly
charge that the Democratic candidate
is opposed to law and order
MIR. Bryan simply contented himself
with the stand that every man is en-
titled to trial by jury of his peers.
This does not seem very radical or
anarchistic on the face OF it.. but wait
until the Republican newspapers get
hold of it; they will make it spell free
riot or know the reason why. Nor is
this strange. When the Declaration Of
independence is characterized as sub
limated demagogism;" when the Con-
stitution is held not to govern the
President in his relations to the people
of our territories, trial by jury may
very we'll be characterized us q tardy
and inefficient method for administer
ing justice, and one wholly out of
keeping with this swiftly moving age
of steam and electricity. 1t will not be
at all surprising if in n few years. ac-
cording to the present drift, we are told
that the writ of hadcds corpus is an un-
warrantable interference with orderly
proceedings, and should he eliminated
from our system of Jurisprudence.
While the Imperalists are sure to
to, 4
| by jury an outburst of anarchy, or
socialism, or some Of the other terrible
cults that they detect in Mr.. Bryan
every day, we shall be Interested to
| observe how they answer his argu-
ment. 1.-The thing forbidden by an in
junction would either be legal or
Illegal" says Mr.. Bryan; "if legal the
judge usurps the function of the legis-
lature when he forbids it; if illegal the
Injunction of the court is unnecessary,
for any one who violates the law can,
upon conviction, be made to suffer the
penalties prescribed for such violation"
This lays bare the use to which the
Observation-Disclosures and useful in it's
place--is being put at the present time,
when it is made the instrument of judi
cial terrorism and repression There
has been no more radical and danger
GUS development in the last dozen years
in this country than the enormous in
crease In the scope and applicability OF
the writ of injunction which has been
stretched to point where it is an ac-
tual menace to the personal liberty of
the citizen; yet. by the old familiar
process of making black seem white,
the disciples and beneficiaries OF gov
eminent by injunction would make it
appear that the opponents of such
radicalism in the name and under the
forms of the law are opposed to the
law itself. 1t cannot be done!

A TRAINING TABLE FOR
MOSQUITOES.

We have before this expressed our
unbounded admiration of the United
States Department of Agriculture, and
each succeeding bulletin that comes
from its presses does but augment the
sense Of infinite obligation we enter
tain for 1t. Its latest publication deals
with the life, diet and death of the
mosquito: its tastes, habits, and how
to entertain and amuse it pending the
arrival OF cold weather and the liberia
ton of the host. Here Is the program
the department recommends when the
mosquito calls, accompanied by large
appetite- and fine collectipa-ef-
laria bacilli:
Burning pyrethrum powder. moisten-
ed and baked in cones, in sleeping
apartments.
Catching the insects in cups contain
ing a quantity of kerosene.
Camphor, eucalyptol carbola ted
vaseline, oil of lavender oil of penny
royal, oil of peppermint, lemon Juice,
vinegar, tincture of ledum patustrac
vaseline rubbed on face and hands or
dropped on pillow.
Piece of cotton wool soaked in oil OF
cloves attached to each side of bed
curtains.
Anoint skin with three parts refined
pnrafin and one part crushed cam
phor.
Oil of eucalyptus and creosote each
five drops. thoroughly mixed with one
ounce of glycerine.
Place fine uncoollcd beefstcak near
the bed on retiring.
Now, the paraGinc, the eucalyptus,
the creosote, tincture OF lelum patus-
trae, etc, may be all right; but we wish
to gently, but firmly protest against
the fine, uncooked beefsteak." If the
mosquito were constant in its--or to be
accurate, her-attachments there would
no objection lie against the beefsteak
menu; but the mosquito is VIGOROUSLY
tickle and restless; it does not waste
the glamour OF its presence or the Sc
ductiveness of its dulcet scrcnades
upon any one person. We protest
therefore that no man has right to
put mosquitoes on an athletic diet
to maintain, as 1t were, Il training table
for mosquitoes--whe they are sure to
transfer their attentions to the neigh
and unconstitutional that any man
Should put mosquitoes through the
training that develops prize fighters
and football players; that produces
muscle, pugnacity and staying quail
ties Any man, therefore, who spreads
the carpet with raw becfsteaks ror the
delectation of these nocturnal callers
should be visited with the extreme
pains of the law. We want no Cor
belts, Fitzsimmonses and Sharkcys

ing Democratic-a change would be
inevitable. That 1t would be suicl-
dial for our people of the Northwest
to hazard even a remote chance Of
a change Is evidenced by the fact
that to-day our farmers can borrow
on their rich acres from 40 to 30 per
