Carlsbad improvements.

Consul VIII l.. Lowrie writes of i'm
provements planned by the Austrian
city of Carlsbad which will cost sew
eral hundred thousand dollars:
"A $S,750,0O0 loan has been secured
recently. A part of this sum will be
expended under the direction Of the
City Council, and the balance is for
refunding purposes. The betterments
proposed include changes in the
streets, enlarged colonnades at the
thermal springs, baths, etc. 1t is re-
ported that an electric railroad may be
constructed connecting the suburb of
Fischern, where the railroad stations
are located, with Carlsbad. This Is
much needed improvement, as the
distance is more than a mile and the
carriage charges are high. The great
est opposition to the complete electric
railway system, which would be a boon
to the 100000 annual visitors to this
spa, comes from the hotel and lodging
house keepers, who are able under
present conditions to charge extremely
high prices for rooms. The congestion
during the three months when the
number of "cure guests is at its
height will be relieved somewhat next
year, when one, and possibly two, large
hotels will be built, equipped, with
modern conveniences. This will be
appreciated especially by the Ameri-
cans, who, to the number of eight thou
sands, come to Carlsbad annually dur
ing the summer season. consular

PLEADING.

Come back, dear heart, and love me still,
For all Is dark and drear and cold;
I little thought my pride and chill
would lose for me thy tender fold.
G1kns with the blithesome tone and ways
\ lrved SO well those olden days
a. I have waited all those years,
Ny life has burned to embers low,
And In these eyes now dead to tears
Thou'lt read the anguish of my woe.
Then wilt thou dear not come TO me
And kiss my lips so tenderly?
Alb, yes, dear heart, still must pray.
Though night and age are drawing nlgh,
Thou'lt feel for me so far away,
And love me, love me ere | die;
And with rich memories of the past
fhou'lt come at last, thou'lt come at last.

Ace of Olive Trees.

The longevity of olive trees is ex-
traordinary. In Syria recently have
been found some remarkably ancient
olive trees whose ages are establish
ed beyond question. A trust deed ex-
lists which relates to an orchard Gov
ering 400 trees near Tripoli, Syria,
the trust deed having been issued
499 years ago.
Though the trees look aged, they
still bear fruit Of fine quality In
abundance and are likely to maintain
their productiveness for many hun
dreds of years yet. An olive grove
near Beirut is admitted to be the
third largest olive farm in the world.
Syrian fruit farmers are extending
olive culture with much zeal and ef-
feet. One planter recently set out
100000 trees in a block for CONNER
cial purposes.
Under European systems Of culture
the Syrians make the olive trees bear
each season, while In the old days
one crop in three years was thought
TO be all that the trees could produce.
The low cropping capacity of the
trees was due to the native method
of thrashing the fruits from the
branches VITA sticks, which seriously
injured them.
The methods of grinding the olives
for oil and picking the fruit are pc
culiar. Neither the grinders nor pick
ers receive wages. but are paid on
percentage. The pickers receive 5
percent of the actual fruit picked and
the grinders get 10 percent of the
fruit around.-Dundee Advertiser.

And she kept within her own soul
the jealousy that disturbed her all
the while she was sitting waiting for
the great green curtain to be drawn
up, until, of sudden, there was a
slight hustle in the row of seats be-
yond, and Emery entered with his
mother.
Then Kate's overgloomed face grew
bright again. She drew a long breath
of relief and turned TO the stage;
1t was as if the myriad gaslights had
all of sudden been turned up, as
II all the mimic world in the opera
house had grown radiant.
Never was voice sweeter to her
ears than the somewhat thin and ex-
hausted warble of the prima donna;
never did scenery glow with such nat
ural tints or footlights shine more
softly. Kate Marcy declared the opera
was "perfection!"
Eyes; but" said pert little Nina
Cummings, "do look at Charley EN-
cry with that little old woman; Why
couldn't he have come and sat with
us?"
Kate said nothing. In the crowd
now surging out of the aisles of the
little opera house she could scarcely
venture to express her entire opinion,
but she said in a low, earnest tone,-
81 don't know what you think of 1t,
Nina, but l, for my part, respect Mr..
Emery a thousand times more for his
kindness to his mother"
And, almost at the same second, she
found herself looking directly into
Charley's eyes
For a moment only. The crowd
separated them almost ere they could
recognize one another, but Kate felt
sure-and her cheeks glowed scarlet
that he had heard her words.
Charley" said little Mrs. Emery,
looking into her sons face as they
emerged into the veil of softly falling
snow which seemed to enwrap the
whole outer world in dim, dazzling
mystery, "who was that girl with
the large blue eyes and the sweet face
wrapped into a whitv, fleecy sort of
hood-the one who said she respected
you?"
''It was Kate Marcy, mother"
"She has the face of an angel"
said Mrs. Emery, softly.
The next day Charley went boldly
to the old Marcy homestead, whose
red brick gables, sheeted with ivy,
rose up out of the leahess elms and
beeches, just beyond the noise and
stir Of the busy village.
Miss Marcy" he said, 81 heard
what you said last night"
ut was not meant for your ears,
Mr. Emery" said Kate, coloring
soft rosy pink.
But" he pursued, looking her
full in the face, 81 cannot be satisfied
with that, Miss Marcy, want warm
er feeling. If you could teach yourself
to love me-"
The dimples came around Kate
Marcy's red lips, wreathing her smile
in wondrous beauty.
"Mr. Emery she said, 81 do love
you. 1 have loved you for long
time"
And Charley went home, envying
neither king nor prince.
But never should have loved you
so dearly" his young wife told him
afterward, "if you hadn't been SO kind
to that little mother of yours. In my
eyes you never looked so handsome
as when you stood bending over her
gray head in the crowded hall of the
opera house that night"
