TRENCH OLIVES SCARCE.

Olives, the majority of which are grown in Spain, will be few in number this winter, so far as the freshly pack ed article goes. The crop which is about to be garnered in Tuscany is said to be the smallest in years and the wholesalers are experiencing consider able difficulty in supplying the demands of the trade Ordinarily 25,000 holding from 16O to 1SO gallons of olives, are shipped to the United States annually This year American importers do not expect to receive more than $500 casks, and as the outlook for next years crop is also dark, it is believed in price will finally aggregate 100 per cent.-What- To-Esat.

THE cANTEEN QUESTION.

 Another Chance for the Congress to
 Restore a Better Condition.
 In a weak moment a few years ago congress banished the canteen from the army. It is known that in the action it went against it's own best judgment. It is also known that it's judgment is still in favor of the canteen as an agency making toward temperance and good discipline. Unfortunately, how ever, 1t has never yet reached mo- ment when its courage was great enough to permit ti to undo the evil and restore the canteen.
 The attack upon the army canteen was made from the best of possible motives by women and men who have the welfare of the soldiers at heart, and the welfare of all other people who are tempted to do themselves injury by drink. Unfortunately the method adopted toward this good end, namely, the banishment of the canteen. was the wrong method to get the desired re- suits.
 It has been conclusively shown by facts piled upon facts that the canteen makes against drinking and the evils of drinking, while the abolishment of the canteen makes for drinking and for an increase in the evils of drinking. Instead of canteens, selling only the milder alcoholic drinks, managed under strict discipline and applying their pro- fits to the welfare of the soldiers, our army posts now have back yards of drunkenness, disorder and vice, in which the soldiers waste their money and get into more trouble in day than they would get into in canteen in a month.
 Admit that abstractedly canteen would be a disgrace to Fort Sheridan, and yet how can it be denied that Highwood as it now exists is a hun dred times the disgrace that the worst possible canteen would .be2;}
 The choice is one betWeensevils. Un- fortunately it is the worst of the evils which congress has chosen.
 There is now movement for the re- storation of the oanteen, which, like the movement for its abolishment, is in charge of women who wish the welfare of the soldiers and of the army, It is
 to be hoped that this session of con gress will not expire without a repeal of the anticanteen act and a restora- ton of the older and better conditions. Chicago Record-Herald.

FINDING WORLDS LARGEST DIA-
 MOND.

A solitary man was walking across the veldt, intending to climb down in to No. 8 Workings" This was Cap tain Frederick Wells, the mine man. ager For a moment he stood on the brink, looking down at the tangled chaos of earthheaps, criss-crossed with trolley tracks and steel trucks, like childrens toys. The man was listless and tired, for it had been a burning day in country where waMr is most precious, Wells took off his hat on the high level, drew a long breath or two planted his right foot firmly and began the descent of the bank He went down sidewise; and when less than half way his eye suddenly caught a glassy gleam from a large stone thee parts embedded in the soil. To lay hands upon it and wrench it from it's ma- trix was the work of moment.
 And when he had done this the mans judgement told him he held in is and te greatest diamond the world ever saw, or probably will ever sae again "a crystal of 3,024% carats-1:S7 pounds avoirdupois! Like man in a dream Wells squatted down precar- iously on the steep, loose bank and wondered whether, after all, it was but fantastic dream, born of much zeal as manager and a steady success sion of large finds.
 This record stone was not, as might be supposed, sent to Europe in ship of its own. So prosic is the civilized commerce of to-day that thls vast treasure was merely sealed up in a tin box, registered as a postal pack et'' and sent through the mails as though 1t were a worthless geological specimen! It was received at the London office of the Premier Diamond Mining Company, Ltd, and measures were taken at once to insure about half it's approximate value-say, $2,- 5o0O0O.-W. G.

Regarding the general comfort of passengers the argument is: "The great advantages of electric traction in respect to comfort of passengers are well known. Cleanliness and improved ventilation made possible by the elimi- nation of smoke and cinders; lighting practically without heat and at low cost by system which makes it easy to place lamps in any desired location and heating apparatus effectively and conveniently controlled, are factors of very great importance in building up passenger business under conditions of competition. In operating through tunnels, ventilated with difficulty, the electric motor, in eliIhina ting smoke and the gases of combustion, possesses an advantage which is frequently con- trolling"
 In discussing the question of safety the authors present a number of req sons which should lead to the conclu- sion that properly designed and in- stalled electric traction is safer than steam. Some of these considerations are: 'The fact that in case of a rear

My experiments have revealed the
fact that the division of labor among
bees is carried to a surprising extent
says Professor CASTOR BONNER.
Bees which are seeking for pollen
or nectar do not carry it, but mere
ly carry the news to the hive.
A number of bees are sent out TO
strip the flowers, a number carrying
pollen only, others nectar only, otn-
ers again water only when water IS
needed. The number sent out IS
proportional to the number Of flow
ers to be stripped, and by marking
the bees with colored tale it was
proved that each bee confined ltsen
for the time being to one class OF
work.
The same bee might be seeking for
flowers in the morning and collecting
in the afternoon, but did not change
the nature Of its work without re-
turning to the hive.
There seemed to be something in
the nature of a working arrangement
between bees Of different hives, as
when the work Of clearing certain
area of flowers had once been com
menced by a few bees from one hive
these collectors we're not interfered
with by the bees from other hives

A few years ago my uncle started
to New Mexico, hoping to find a good
model among the Indians for a pic
ture he was painting. When he left
the train he engaged a horse and
guide to take him to the nearest en-
campment. There was a third horse,
on which the food, clothing and ar
lists kit were packed. After travel
ing a day or so they reached a camp
of Sioux Indians, who received them
in a friendly manner. Many Of the
braves were willing to have their pic
lures drawn for a few beads and bits
of bright cloth. When my uncle's
back was turned the squaws amused
themselves in looking 5Ter his port
folio. In a few days he left for an
other camp.
~About week later my uncle
opened his portfolio, and noticed
that large painting Of girl was
missing. AS he priced it very much,
he sent the guide back to the Sioux
camp for it.
The guide returned empty handed
and said that the Indians had be-
come very angry when he asked for
the picture. 1t seems that they had
put it in a wigwam, with all their
idols, and worshipped it. Though my
uncle wanted the picture very much
he thought it best not to anger the
Indians by taking Woodward Bo-
land in the New York Tribune.

Frank has a watch" This sounds
to you like only a sentence from the
First Reader, but really it was a
whole story, and a very sad one, too,
to the small boy who was saying it
over and over to himself. For Frank

And then because, I suppose, there
are no fairies now except thought
fairies, good and clever ideas that pop
into cur minds and show us the cas-
lest paths, one of them whispered and
kept whispering the rest of the rima
in his mind:
II turnips were watches
I'D wear one by my side.
And it talked to him until Johnny

A Rumor About Mr.. CorteIyou.

A man who occupies a prominent
position in the Republican party" tells
the Boston Transcript that the Hon.
GEORGE BRUCE CoRTELYoU is an active
candidate for the Presidency and has
been using all the machinery Of the Post
Office and the Treasury departments to
further his Presidential ambitions
This no doubt will be news TO Mr..
CoRTELYoU himself. How in the world
he could have used the public patronage
to obtain delegates without being de-
tected in the act by the President or
suspected by Secretary TAFT ia inoom-
~prehensible, unless Mr.. C~oRTELYoU is a
veritable Machiavelli and a two faced
impostor with an iron nerve.
The popular impression about the Sec
rotary of the Treasury is that the days
work occupies all his faculties, and that
he has no leisure for political manipula-
ton. IL is by strict attention TO the
business in hand that Mr.. rCoRrELYoU
has modestly risen from small begin
nings, and there must have been a trans
formation Of his nature and a radical
change in his habits If he has taken TO
delegate hunting.
1t may even be surmised that the ac-
tivities Of the Hon. JESSE OvERsrREET
and the Hon. STEPHEN B. ELKrNs in his
behalf 40 an available candidate for the
Presidency have given him moro pain
than pleasure. Mr.. CoRrELYoU has been
known as a mar who wants to be let
alone to discharge his duties as a public
officer, and when promotion has come
TO him it has been as to the sought and
not to the seeker.

you may judge as to that when you hear
