what n Costs 70 Run New york

The State Of New York Is the larg-
est in the Union, and it takes a good
deal Of money to run it. According
to the figures furnished the Roches-
ter Post-Express by Senator Arm-
strong, chairman OF the Senate Com
mittee on Finance, It took about $780,
600, 900, exclusive OF trust funds, TO
meet the appropriations Of the regu-
lar session OF the Legislature recently
adjourned. As would be expected ia
an enlightened commonwealth. the
greatest expenditures were FOR the
benefit OF charities and schools. Hos
pitals received S5,661.11S, and the
common schools (not including nor
NAL schools and academies) $685.
625. a sum exceeding by a half-mill-
ion the appropriation OF last year.
Charitable institutions other than
hospitals received S2,5S3,759, and
the Judiciary S1,36s,696. The re-
mainder Of the $50. 900 ,O00 was dis
tributed among the score OF other de-
partments OF State work in amounts
ranging from $4,000 to $500 900.
One conspieuousitem is that Of S45o,-
600 for printing. which seems very
excessive. The total appropriations
exceed by nearly $4,000. 900 those Of
last year, but the law allows the Gov
ernor to cut out unnecessary items in
appropriations bills, and he consider
ably lessened the amount.--Leslie's.

II has been the generally accepted
belief that olives were first grown in
America by the Mission Fathers, Of
California. but the first olives IN
America were planted on the coast Of
South Carolina long before colonial
times. During the American Revolu-
tion there was ten-acre bearing
olive grove on tho south shore OF
Port Royal entrance. When the Civil
War commenced some OF these trees
were living. At its close only the
stumps remained. II Is supposed that
soldiers had encamped there and cut
the trees down for firewood. The
