THE APPETIZING OLIVE.
Various Use of the Oil of This Peculiar
Fruit.
Though a native of Syria and possi
bly of southern Greece, the olive flour
ishes anywhere in a mild climate.
Western Asia, southern Europe, north
ern Africa, southern England, South
America, Mexico in all these places
the olive grows- readily, taking on an
averasre seven years before it attains
bearing power. Two hundred years
ago it was introduced into California
by Catholic priests from Mexico and
there it has thriven mightily. In South
Carolina it is hardy and fruitful, but
unfortunately the' crop matures there
just when all labor is needed in the
cotton fields.
The fruit is too bitter unless pickled.
Banging in size from an acorn to a
large plum, it is gathered green and
placed in a strong solution of potash
or lye of wood ashes. 'When the
olives change color this denotes that
the potash has struck through to the
stone and they are then placed in water,
renewed several times a day for five
- days. A brine of purest salt, with
spices, cloves, cinnamon, etc., boiled a
few minutes and strained, to which
when cold an equal amount of water is
added, is then poured over the olives
and they are sealed up in bottles or
jars.
The olive oil of commerce, on the
contrary, is made from the ripe fruit,
.which is dark purple in color, like a
Damson plum. The finest quality of
this comes from the fruit that has just
begun to ripen, but this does not yield
nearly so much. The pulp of the dead
ripe fruit gives seventy per cent. oiL
The finest quality has a faint, greenish
hue, a faint, rather pleasing smell and
a faintly pungent taste. It is chiefly
exported from Italy and France, in the
respective ratio of about five gallons
to one.
The amount of adulteration, gener
ally harmless, in this article is very
great. Not long ago the chamber of
commerce at Nice offered three thou
sand dollars reward for an invention
that would readilydetect this adultera
tion. The California oil is absolutely
pure but high in price and small in the
quantity produced. In many places
' among the Latin races this oil is a sub
stitute for butter on bread and in cook
ing. Like other oils it is highly nutri-
,. tious, but it requires a strong diges
tion. It is also used in medicine as a
laxative, one or two fluid ounces being
the dose.
For the making of liniments, oint
ments and plasters it is highly prized,
and likewise as a basis for the best
soaps those of Castile, Marseilles and
Venice. This oil was rubbed on the
wrestlers of Greece, and probably,
with a mixture of perfume, would lie a
valuable hygienic addition to the Turk
ish bath. The olive, so the Greeks and
Romans thought, possessed as an edible
a trinity of virtues. They believed that
it excited an appetite for wine, im
proved the flavor of it and at the same
time had a steadying effect that is,
enabled a man to drink with impunity
from an overflux of ideas. Chicago j

SAWED A SALOON IN TWO.
AN ALL-NIGHT TOWN.
The Stores of Hamburg Are Open Every
Hour in the Twenty-Four. '
Hamburg may be suitably described
as an all-night town. The cafes and
beer saloons do not shut until two in
the morning, while some of them, by
paying an additional license, are al
lowed to remain open all day and all
night. Many of the shops never close.
At three a. m. the tobacconists are still
open, and at this hour there are several
shops at which you can procure hot re
freshments sausages, so dear to the
German inner man, and the like. At
various points men station themselves
thronghout the night with the little
stoves on which they fry pork sausages
One may often see swell folk, ladies
included, chatting with these itinerant
vendors, and regaling themselves with
a somewhat odoriferous sausage at
three o'clock in the morning. The
bakers' shops seem to be always open,
says c a writer in Pearson's Weekly. I
visited one of the largest cafes at Ham
burg at the unearthly hour of three
thirty in the morning and there found
about three hundred respectable peo
ple calmly drinking their coffee as if
it were broad daylight. There was not
a single vacant table. Eemember, it
was not a night club, but an orderly
cafe, where no unseemly scenes are
permitted. There are some curious re
strictions regarding the opening of
shops on Sundays in Hamburg. After
two-thirty o'clock a tobacconist may
only sell one cigar to "one person;
should you require half a dozen smokes
you have to visit half a dozen shops or
take five friends with. you to one estab
lishment and each of you buy one ci
gar. There is a heavy penalty for
breaking this rule. With the excep
tion of the restaurants and tobaccon
ists, only the dried fish shops are to be
seen open after:two-thirty o'clock. As j
the clock strikes midnight on Sunday
hundreds of shops are immediately
opened, and a brisk trade ensues. Be
tween midnight on Sunday and two
o'clock on Monday morning many
tradesmen do their best business of the
week, notwithstanding the fact that at
this hour nothing that cannot be
bought at any other time is really re
quired.

Where
Staaddling a State line, It Made a Lot of
Trouble.
Bill Lewis, one of the first to settle
in Kansas City, and one of the wicked
est men that ever lived there, died a
few days ago, says a western exchange.
Since ISliO he has been known as the
king of Toad-a-Loup, a district which
harbored about all the known criminals
in town. The saloon he kept in Toad-a-Loup
was hardly less notorious than
himself. It was built exactly on the
state line between Kansas and Mis
souri and was furnished with a mova
ble bar. Lewis paid no license,, and
when the Missouri tax collector called
upon him he moved his bar over in
Kansas. When the authorities of the
latter state attempted to arrest him he
transferred his business in a minute to
Missouri. He was arrested many times,
but had to be released. Concerted ac-
tion on the part of the authorities of
both states finally ended the career of
Lewis' barroom in Toad-a-Loup. The
direction of the state line was chalked
off on the saloon and the structure was
sawed in two from roof tccellar with
an immense cross-cut saw.
HE KNEW A TENDERFOOT.
. A. Jerseyman's Exciting Experience with
a Pennsylvania Aline Mule.,
Patrick Murray, of Perth Amboy, ST.
J., had an exciting experience a few
days ago with a mine mule at Summit
Hill, Pa., which he will never forget,
says the New York Post. When he
reached the bottom of the slope and
proceeded to explore the gangway he
attracted the attention of one of the
mules. He is at a loss to know what
anmrorl t.h animal ,. 1
came for him at full snpPd. nnrt r,. ! seated. "What's the matter, Mason?"

They Will Be Welcome In a Land
Dust and Moth Prevail.
We nave nad a great variety ol car
pet materials, first and last, and a good
many uses have been made of paper,
but the two have never before been
identified. Now, however, we are in
formed that carpets are being made of
paper, and the following description of
the process is made public:
The stock used must be of long fiber,
says the Paper World, in order to give
strength to the paper. All such as are
to be colored must be dyed in the pulp
to obtain uniform color throughout.
Colors must be fast.
Every lot of the same color must
match to shade, as it cannot be
changed when once done. The paper
must be of uniform thickness thr ough
out the width and length of the tdII. for
though color may be right, coarse yarn
will not shade alike. As the
yarn is twisted on a long frame,
the utmost cleanliness must be ob
served not to stain the yarn
with oil or dirty fingers, for, un
like the other yarn, it is not cleansed,
hence, if dirty and not discovered by
subsequent handling, it goes into the
carpet and to the consumer. . . . When
the rolls of cut paper are the desired
height, the shaft is taken out, the
nut removed and the shaft drawn
out, leaving the paper, each strip with
its ring to be separated from the other
by a knife for that purpose. After
separation these little rolls are soaked
in water until thoroughly impreg- J
nated, then taken out and left to drain, !
wnen it is- ready for the spinning
frame, and it is twisted like any other
yarn. The yarn is then dried, wound
into cops, and is then ready for the
loom.
Had Faith in His Watch.
The pride which a man takes in a
good watch rarely is carried to the limit
reached by a Chicagoan who has come
to the notice of the Record. He was a
man who had faith in his watch. This
was partly because he had paid a large
sum for it and partly because he was a
man who believed that things which
belonged to him must be good because
they did belong to him. His friends
joked him about his faith, but he re
mained firm. When he went to take
the train from his suburban home in
the morning he did it by his watch, and
when he left the big station downtown
in the morning he compared it with
the great clock in the tower to see if
the tower clock was right. When the
train pulled into the station one morn
ing the other passengers got up to
leave the car, but the man remained
started for a 'heading" with nothing
dul tne lignt 01 a miner s lamp to guide
him.
It was a race for life. The mule
was rapidly closing the gap, when the
Jerseyman reached two mine cars. He
plunged between them. The mule
countermarched and began using his
hind feet with terrible effect. He
. kicked the stout oak planks of the
car into kindling wood, and while he
was occupied in this manner Murray
made his escape and returned to the
surface. He is fully satisfied that the
mine mule is not to be trifled with, es
pecially if you are a tenderfoot with a
red necktie.
Something She Could Paint.
Mme. d'Albertin, one of the lesser
painters of France, was as conceited
about her artistic ability as she was no
torious for. her excessive use of 'cos
metics. On ' one occasion, a certain
count, who held her in much disesteem,
lost a bet to her. "And what will
madame choose?" he asked, with mock
courtesy. "Something in my art," she
simpered;, "something I can paint."
"Very well, madame," he replied, bow
ing himself out. " A day later madame
received a package from the count,
which, upon being opened, revealed, a
life-size drawing of her own face in outline.
said one of his friends. "Aren't vou
going to get off?" "No, sir," said Ma
son, consulting his timepiece. "I'm
not not until we arrive, at least. This
train doesn't get into the city until
8:16, and by my watch it's only 8:12."
The Speedy Moose.
To one who knows nothing of big
game, it is amazing to see how fast a
moose can run, his stride being much
longer than a horse. A light freight
train was running on the Northern
Pacific, in the upper part of Minnesota,
when the engineer saw a big moose
standing directly on the track, and as
soon as the animal saw the engine he
took to his heels down the track.
There was a perfectly straight run for
four miles, and the engineer deter
mined. to test the speed of the moose,
of which he had frequently heard. At
first the gait of the moose was a sort of
trot, and even when the engine gained
speed the animal did not seem to exert
itself. Faster and faster sped the
engine, but still the moose trotted
ahead, and all the power of steam
could not prevail over this monarch of
the forest. At last, after covering
fouf miles and turning a curve, they
came upon a gang of section hands,
and the victorious moose leaped the '
tracks and was lost to view in . the
forest. . . -

that-a bad complexion is due to a dis
ordered liver, there would be fewer sal
low faces and blotchy skins. This im
