To Whom Shall We Say No.

A woman never quite forgets the man
who once loved her. She may not have
loved him, she may, indeed, have given
him mo instead of the Eyes > he hoped
for; but the remembrance that he desired
eyes always softens her thoughts of
him, and would make him were he re-
minded of it friend forever. There may
be girls who make jest of discarded suitors
but they are generally very young; and the
wooing has been something that did not
betoke much depth of tenderness. There
are mercenary offers, too, that only awaken
scorn and hate in the woman wooed for
money and not for herself; but really to
have touched mans s heart is something
not to be forgotten by her as long as she
lives.
Always she will remember how his eyes
looked into hers He touched her hand
with his, and how her heart ached when
he turned away without that which she
could not give him.
She loved some one else. Some other
man has all the truth of her soul-always
has, and always will have-but she cannot
forget the one who turned from her and
went his way, and came no more. She Is
glad when she hears of his success; grieved
when she knows that he has suffered, and
when some day she hears that he is mar
ried-she who has herself been married
for long years, perhaps-she who at all
avepts wonld never have married him--is
she glad? | do not know-a woman $
heart is a very strange thing. do not
believe she knows herself. Glad? oh,
yes-and his wife pretty and nice? And
then she says to herself that he has quite
forgotten, and ''that of course, is best

How Olives Are Cured.

cit should be remembered, said the
olive man, .'that the constitution of an
olive is as delicate as that of a tender child.
From the time the crop is gathered until
it is finally packed in the bottles there Is
not a moment which is not fraught with
the intensest anxiety on the part of all who
handle the fruit. No other product re-
qures such constant application Of the old
maxim of eternal vigilence' as olives.
1.-The ball begins with the gathering of
the fruit. This is done in the late sum-
mer or early autumn, while the fruit Is
still green and hard and altogether unsavory
on account of its intense bitterness. The
olives are picked by hand to prevent
scratching and bruising and then conveyed
in carts OF on pack mules to the curing es-
tablishment Olive curing is very deli
cate and intricate process, tor which no
fixed rules can be laid down. A course
of treatment that in one instance woul !
prove successful might be absolutely ruin us
in another. The business OF curing here
fore calls for expert talent and is ways
intrusted to professional who brings to his
task his own skill and knowledge, supple
mented by the experience of generations
of kinsfolk who were curers in that partlc-
ular variety before him.
1.-the first step in the process OF curing
is known as Cooking When the fruit
comes to the curing establishment, it is
placed in large vats filled with mixture
of lime and water, in which it undergoes
kind of fermentation. Cooking is merely
a technical name for this fermentation pro-
cess.
"When the fermentation has reached Il
certain stage, matter requiring anywhere
from few hours to few days, the curer
gives the signal to Withdraw the plugs, and
the LIQUID is run off The olives are then
thoroughly washed with fresh water until
they are bright and clean and every trace of
lime is removed. IF you were to taste
them now, you would find that they had
lost most of their unpleasant bitterness.
"After washing the fruit is put in casks
filled with brine and the casks exposed,
bungs open. to the SUM- This induces
second fermentation, which takes place
more or less rapidly, according to the wealth
er. However, as Spain enjoys fairly
equable climate, a period of from three to
four weeks generally sufices. Throughout
this secoad fermentation the olives keep
throwing off the brine, so that the casks
must be inspected daily and kept filled with
new brine Of the required strength.
Finally there comes time when they
no longer throw off any brine. They are
then ready for sorting that is, for sepa-
ration according to size and quality. All
that are perfect-of proper color and free
from scratches, spots and other blemishes =
are called 'selected;' the rest 'culls. The
various sizes are known according to their
weight, 5000 meaning olives that count
eighty to ninety to the kilo.
ssAfter sorting, the olives are then put
back into the casks, the bungs driven in,
and the whole is ready for shipment to the
American importer.
ssDo you begin to pack as soon as they

If you get cut that will not stop bleed
ing, there is nothing like cold water. Don't
bandage the hand And if you wish to
avoid blood poisoning, don dream of using
the ancient remedy cobweb-but hold
your hand above your head, and pour the
coldest water procurable over it. The
worst case of bleeding will usually yield to
this treatment.
For slight burns, too, there is nothing
like cold water IF you Inadvertently touch
hot poker, then plunge your hand in
stantly into cold water, and keep il there
for five or ten minutes.
Black -currant jam is one of the most
agreeable and effective remedies for sore
throat or cough. Put a tablespoonful of
it in a tumbler of hot water, and you have
delicious beverage, as well as an excellent
cure
Apples cure warts. Of course, the per-
feet remedy for warts and corns is salicylic
acid, but failing that, an apple rubbed on
the place frequently will effect cure, by
means of the malic acid it contains. Cold
tea is very old and tried remedy for 70
laxed sore throat. Its tannic acid acts as
an astringent when the tea is used as
gargle.
When coming home after cycling trip
over dusty roads your eyes are apt to be
sore. Dom rub them and dom t commit
the common and great mistake of opening
them in cold water. But put some salt
say, dessertspoonful or more-in a basin
of tepid water, and then plunge in your
head and open your eyes. The salt will
prevent the water from hurting the delicate
lining membrane.
Eight out of ten cases of toothache can
be relieved by getting some bread soda
bicarbonate of soda, not baking powder
dusting it on piece of cotton wool, and
placing thisin the cavity. If all the teeth
ache together the cause is generally acidity
of the mouth In that case, dissolve the
soda in warm water aud wash the teeth with
it. You will be well in an Instant
If you keep licorice in the house, you

Cures in the Kitchen.

In every kitchen or storeroom there is
quite druggist shop of useful remedies,
says the Doctor in London Answers.
So far as medical science has discovered,
the best all round cure for dyspepsia is salt
and water. You put small teaspoonful
of salt in large tumbler as hot as you can
swallow, and drink it half an hour or 20
minutes before each meal. This washes
out the stomach thoroughly. Many people
try the plan of drinking hot water as cure
for stomach complaints, but as they omit
the salt the operation is not always salts
factory. The plain water is rather irritating
to a delicate stomach, but the addition OF
salt prevents the irritation and converts the
draught into powerful stomach stimulant.
Pepper proves equally valuable in emer-
gencies. Suppose one has pain in the
stomach or a sinking feeling, there is moth
ing better than small quantity of pepper
in a glass of hot water. With the addition
of sugar it forms pleasant and stimulating
draught, good for cold and all sorts OF
pains.
A teaspoonful of pepper put into two
once bottle of strong whisky or rum will
make the hair grow. After bath, also,
it is an excellent thing to rub into the head
or, in fact, all over the body. IF one is at
all blue after his morning tub a little of this
home made tincture poured in the palm OF
the hand and briskly rubbed to the body
will produce warm glow and prevent chill.
Mustard has many valuable uses. As a
plaster on the chest it draws the blood from
the congested lungs to the skin, and in the
footbath it draws the blood from the lungs
to the feet. But it is still more valuable
as an emetic. In these days of timed
foods we run considerable risk of poison
ing-if not to the death, at least to the
point of very great discomfort. A spoon
ful of mustard in a large glass of warm
water is splendid remedy in such cases,
and it also stimulates.
Sugar cannot be beaten as cure for cold
in the head 1t must be very finely pow
dered and used as a snuff. In some way
it then acts as an astringent, and, if used
in time, puts an end to the cold.
In cases of poisoning there are many
simple remedies at hand. For instance.
suppose, as so often happens, nitric or sui
phuric acid is swallowed in mistake for some
beverage or the other, then it is necessary
at once to neutralize the acid before it has
time to corrode the stomach.
This is done by means of an alkali. But
there is not time to send to the chemist $,
and the best thing to do is to scrape some
mortar off the wall, stir it up in water and
make the patient swallow it. If the poison
happens to be alkaline instead of acid
caustic soda or ammonia, for instance then
you have the remedy at hand in the cruet.
Give the victim dose of vinegar
Suppose it is an irritant poison, such as
arsenic, or sedative, such as opium, you
must Immediately give large quantity of
tepid mustard and water as an emetic.
But this is not sufficient in the case Of
opium poisoning. Drowsiness comes on,
which may be fatal Therefore you have
to dose the patient with strong black coffee

rial service takes place. The lord of the
manor. leaving his pew in the chancel of
the parish church, advances to the steps
of the altar and cracks heavy carriage
whip three times in succession while the
rector is reading the first lesson At the
commencement of the second lesson he
approaches the parson with the whip in his

when the priest takes possession of the

''No, indeed The long ocean voyage
affects olives as much as it does human
beings. They generally succumb to sea
sickness en- route-that is, we find them
in some stage of fermentation on arrival,
which requires our constant care until they
recover. -
s'Doesn' this seasickness, as you call
it, impair the quality in any way :?
Not at all. 1t only makes the olive
man feel the burden of his responsibilities.
In every stage of fermentation there is a
critical moment when he must exercise the
greatest care and caution. If the olives
recover, they are really much improved in
quality. If they don't, they are hope
lessly ruined. There is no intermediate
condition.

THE FOUNTAIN OF JUSTICE
Does It's Share to Lower the
Towns Debt.

There was novel case before the
Lord Mayor one day last week. The
parties thereto were both colored. IL
seems that Moses Young excited the
ire of Thomas Laws by undertaking
to polish the shoes of the latter gen-
tleman before first obtaining his per
mission. When Laws saw his face
in his shoes, be lost his temper and
said some things that were not suit
able for public expression upon the
streets Of our good little city. Con.
sequently, Officer Ricamore appeared
OH the scene in response to call
from some offended Church member,
and proceeded to admonish Laws,
that be must desist from losing
any more religion on the subject.
Laws restrained himself for some
time, until he again happened to dis
Germ his countenance in the leather
covering on his feet. when be broke
forth anew. This time the officer
took him before His Honor, the
Mayor, and he was assessed - and
some cents, which will 20 toward the
interest dine on the towns water
bonds.
Another case before His Honor,
who administers iustic within the
confines of our corporate existence,
was that Of Charles Tracey ss. Burlry
Banks. II seems that Banks claimed
the colorcd championship Of Berry
sille for heavyweights. and this
claim was ~illiugly disputed bv
Tracey. who did not know his own
prowcss. Banks forced the issuc 90
the jail alley, and Tracey demon
srr,ted his superiority by knocking
Banks down. Banks then clsmored
FOR another 90. so loud. that officer
idcamore appeared on the scene aud
called time. lie took the pugilists
before the Fountain of Justice. where
Banks, the agCre-sor. WAS charged
the sum Of 500 auI costs. and the
costs amounted % 3.
Thus doth our city debt diminish
