RUSSIA NOT FEARED.
Unlikely That She Will Make Any
Trouble for England at Present.

NEW YORK, April ls.-A dispatch
to the Tribune from London says:
The vacuum created by the shrink
age Of war news is filled with dis
patches far afeld and with political
rumors and gossip.
The Times publishes the text OF a
letter from the Ameer OF Afghanistan
commenting upon British indifference
to Russian aggression and conveying
the significant hint to the Indian gov
ernment that the present is the time
for deeds, not for talk.
The thoroughly entertained opinion
in diplomatic circles is that Russia will
not take advantage Of the British sit
uation in South Africa, but will wait
until the end of the war, or until the
time comes for the division of Portu-
guese territory in South Africa be-
tween Germany and England. Russia
VIII then offset the British and Ger
man gains in this territory by ordering
an advance on Herat and by strength
ening her grip upon Persia.
Berlin dispatches disclose the unwil-
Iingness Of the German government to
receive the Boer peace delegates.

THE JUDGMENT REVISED.
Labor Leader Fails to Make His Libel
Stick Against a New York Paper

NEW YORK. April lS,-The socialis-
tic cooperative association, publisher
of the New York Volks Zeitung, has
secured from the appellate tribunal OF
the supreme court reversal OF the
Judgment awarded against II to Samuel
Prince. labor leader who claimed to
be damaged by the publication in the
Volks zeitung OF an alleged libelous
letter, addressed TO the members OF the
cigarmakers international union. In
this letter his manner OF conducting
business was criticized and he was
called tenement house boss and a
miserable scab."
Justice Beekman. OF the appellate
tribunal. referred to the fact that testl-
mony was given on the trial as to the
significance OF the word scab" as indi-
eating a person who was an outcast
to be Stunned by his fellows. II was
unnecessary, he said. to have recourse
to evidence OF that description. The
term was one OF ancient origin in it's
application to persons OF ill-repu;e.
meaning paltry or shallow fellow"
1T was entirely free from doubt"
the court said. that the publication
was libelous per Sc.
The reversal was ordered. mainly be-
cause OF the improper admission in evil
dence on the part OF the plaintiff OF
the report of a committee favorable
TO him in reference 10 certain charges.

The Destruction of spruce.

In 1870, according 70 George T.

New Hampshire about / 600, 600 acres
Of primeval spruce forest, carrying
about 10000 feet, board measure, to
the acre, or 5000, 600, 600 feet In all.
The demand for spruce for paper
pulp, added TO the amount required
for lumber, has reduced this area 20
go. 900 acres. The consumption Of
spruce for pulp is increasing a; the
rate Of fifteen pen cent. n year. The
mills Of Now York and New England
make go, 600 tons of paper-pulp each
year, requiring more than 700, 600, 600
square feet. board measure, aud strip
ping lG0, 900 acres OF forest land.
This rapid destruction Of the avail
able supply of spruce has impressed
upon mill.owners the necessity OF
taking vigorous measures TO secure
new growth. The wasteful and wicked
policy has prevailed of cutting the
forest clean, not leaving even a sap.

Growing yiolots For Market.

One of the great centres OF violet
growing in New York State is Pough
keepsie, and large number of worn.
out farms in this vicinity are every
year being turned to good profit by
energetic young men and women. The
violets are grown either IL cold
frames or in heated glass houses, the
advantage Of the latter and more ex.
pensive plan being the early market
ing of the blossoms. They are grown
from cuttings, aud the best results
are obtained from replanting every
spring. BY October the first flowers
appear. They are small and are
usually thrown away. The second
crop Of blossoms appears at once and
is fit to send to market. The average
yield or a single plant is fifty bios
SONS, and with care one hundred are
often produced.
Any fairly good soil can, by the
addition of fertilizers, be made to
grow violets, aud if the distance be
not over six hours from the city the
market is almost assured. An ex-
pertinent in this kind of farming is
not costly. The outlay of SO, says
one violet grower, is sufficient to pur-
chase one thousand plants. Twenty
frames at about So apiece, and S25 to
$50 for fertilizers, tools, etc, brings
the first years expenses to about
800. The frames should last ten

An AibiCo Gree.

Much interest has been caused late
ly 10y the appearance of horse chest
nut tree in the Thiergarten. The
numerous branches around the lower
part of the trunk have q pure white
foliage such as is seen on trees grow
ing in dark places, where no chioro-
phyll can develop on account Of want
Of light The same whiteness Of the
leaves is also noticeable in a few of the
neighboring branches through the
crown TO the top. People are often
puzzled as to rhe cause OF the pecu-
lierity, and many strange explanations
are sometimes given. The singular
appearance of the tree has been no.
ticed regularly for some years. This
particular tree, il seems, had been at
tackled by swarm of caterpillars and
other creatures of the same species,
and the foliage had already been de-
stroyed: but still masses of caterpil-
,ars continued to crawl up and dowr
the trunk. and finally cluug there IN
clumps. To preserve the beautiful
tree, after other means had been tried
in vain, a solution of acid was used.
and the ground all round was watered
with it, as we'll as the trunk aud the
branches. which were especially
irenchcd. This treatment proved
successful. The tree gradually rccov.
nred. aud now stands in its full
strength and freshness, but has ever
since shown Ithe already described
whiteuess in its leaves, which presru:s
by no means unpleasant contrast to
the otherwise dark green foliage. -

Most OF the olives eaten in this
country come from a territory about {
hundred miles in diameter, abound
The city Of Saville, in Spain. They
are imported in casks Of 100 gallons

the crop, ranging from 5000 TO 5000
casks a year, and averaging about

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 30 the kilOgramme.
Thus sevcnty-f fves means olives that
will connt from seventy TO eighty 10
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 SO 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 oil done by hand, the filler
placing each olive in the bottle sepG-
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
well, 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 a
specially prepared brine, to he then
corked, capped and labelled, the bot
ties being then packed in cases.
Olives are put up in a great variety
of packages; 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
belled 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; 4;
but the chief importations come to
this port, aud more olives are packed
here than at any other point. From
this city olives are distributed oil
over the country, and a'carload of oil
ives, either in bulk or in glass, are
not uncommon shipments. New York

account of their size and voracious-

the grub from which this beetle comes
is not destructive to vegetation, but
feeds, SO far rs is knowa, on rotten
wood. When the beetles attack our
shade and ornamental trees, the only
way to check them is TO jar them from
the trees and kill them, or spray the
trees with Paris green and London
purple. AZ the beetles are very
large, the jarring method of disposing
of them may be preferable TO the
spraying OF the trees.
