will be rancid. On account of the different
degrees of color in different varieties of
olives II is often difficult to tell from their
appearance just when they should be gath
cred. When they can be easily shaken
from the tree they are ripe enough. If
they commence to fall without vigorous
shaking they are too ripe. The careful
olive ranchman that knows his business
will always gather the fruit by hand for
whatever purpose the olives are to be used.
Many a fellow has failed of success in Cali
fornia because or using rakes or sticks in
gathering the fruit, thus bruising many of
the olives and breaking off lot of valuable
fruit shoots needed for the following year.
Now let me tell you something that may
surprise you. There Is general idea pre-
vailing throughout the United States. east
of the Sierras. that picked green olives.
such as those imported from Spain and
also sent out I'm large quantities from Cali
fornia nowadays, are very healthful and
may be eaten without restraint. This is a
| great mistake. They are made from unripe
| fruit and are, therefore, far as their
use as food is concerned, in no way
| superior to unripe peaches or apples. They
| are simply relish and should be eaten in
| very limited quantities, in the same way
| as picked walnuts or cucumbers. On the
contrary, picked ripe olives constitute an
extremely nutritious and digestible form
of food. They contain large amount of
oil and some heterogeneous matter, and in
some countries replace meat to certain
| extent. A meal of bread and ripe olives is
not only palatable, but wholesome and sus-
| tanning, and the amount eaten is to be
limited only by the same considerations as
that Of any other good. wholesome food
And yet it seems an almost impossible task
to educate you Fasteners up to the cor

venture to say that there is scarcely any
demand at all here in Indianapolis for

And under the tangled grasses
A silent form, with folded hands,
Needless of aught that passes;
What matter that the summer winds
Lift up the dainty flowers,
Or rifted clouds go floating by
Through all the long, bright hours?
The silent SHOWS come drifting down
Above the narrow dwelling.
And winters winds and sobbing rains
Deep minor chords are swelling.
Do pale hands loose their clinging clasp
Or silent lips. enclosing,
Break e'er again the solemn seal
That death has been imposing?
Unmoved alike by rain or sun,
Or footstep soft that passes,
That silent sleep broods calmly DER
The grave beneath the grasses.
What mystery that holds deep
The voice whose tones were blended
With every other sound of earth
And why its music ended?
Is there a home beyond the skies?
No traveller returning

To ease the tired hearts yearning.

New Egg-re.tine Method.

A new method of testing eggs for
their freshness has been commune
Gated to the Agricultural society, Of
Saxony. An egg plunged into water
tends to rise with more buoyancy
according to It's age, owing to en-
largement of the empty space at the
thick end by evaporation of water
from the white. Hence the egg takes
a different position in the water.
Fresh eggs remain horizontal, an egg
three to five days old makes an an
gle of 90 degrees with the horizon,
one eight days gives an angle of over
IS degrees, and at the end of IA days
the angle is 60 degrees. An egg
three weeks old lies a: 20 degrees.

And the air seemed like an enchah'eo 'tp

And my soul was drunk with its dreams
of you.

In the shade Of the high hills parapet,
And the long green leaves OF the rushes
glistened.
And the stones by the dusky stream were
And / saw your hairs golden tendrils float

On the breeze as of old. and a-down the

And the long flags writhed like live things
