According to Prof. Adam Sedgwick
there is reason to believe that buds
share In the growing old of tbe parent
plant. He Illustrates his meaning in
this way: Suppose the average lite of
an Individual plant say a tree to be

the parent plant Is 50 years old will
also be virtually 50 years ot age, and If
transplanted by grafting will be able
to live on the graft only fifty year

- A RAT" QUARANTINE.
Cnlwtie Sanitary freMan tioaa Adopted
at -New urleaas,
A novel system of quarantine, with
some features that would be amusing
but for the seriousness of their purpose.
has been devised at the port of New
Orleans by the Lonislaua State Board
of health. Tbe quarantine ia directed
against the bubonic plague, and the
mere mention of that horrible scourge
will compel respect for any measures
adopted for Its prevention, even though
they may seem grot esq ne.
One of the few theories about the
spread of this contagious disease that
have become widely known during tbe
last year Is that Its germs are carried
from infected to healthy ports by ship i
rats. It is against the rat, therefore.
tbat the quarantine at New Orieana la
directed. The reason for the quaran-
tine is tbe reported presence of the
plague In coast cities of Braxil. whence
large quantities of coffee are Imported
Into the United States, many -of th

is made In China, and tbe modeling,

ware has been very scarce, owing to
some disorder to the pottery districts
of China, and nearly every set of tbe
ware has been sold. Tbe Boston firm,
however, always kept a large supply on

orders."

ever cavorted among the froxeu hills
of the Northern States, but It has gone
the way of all other favorites that have
reignod with too much popularity. But
a few short years ago wiuter without

CHAPTER ON OLIVES.
They Are a Comparatively Recent
Fruit in the United titatee.
Olives are a comparatively recent
fruit In the United States, for, while
they have been grown in California
since the time of the early mission
fathers. It Is only within the last twen
ty years that they have become of com
mercial Importance. The Industry In
America Is still In a somewhat unsat
isfactory condition, owing largely to
confusion In regard to the selection of
suitable soils aud varieties and a
knowledge of right methods of culture

all over the I nited Stats for olive
products. The profits In the olive In
dustry lie principally in tbe production
of pickles, the larger fruit being used
for this purpose and the small sized
made Into oil.
The olive seems especially adapted to
certain parts of California. For this
reason the only State agricultural sta
tion which has done much work with
the olive Is that of California.
The olive tree Is & slow-growing ever
green, of great longevity and produc
tiveness. In some of the older coun
tries about the Mediterranean trees
hundreds of years old and sometimes
twenty feet or more In circumference
have been reported. Wben grown nat
urally the tree attains a height of forty
feet or more, aud has

sistent bitter flavor. The oil. like all
fats, has a high fuel value, and on this
Its value as a food depends. The Cali
fornia station Insists that the pickled
ripe olives are more than a relish; that
they really possess a lnrge food value,
much more than the pickled green fruit.
The green olives are simply a relish
and to be used In limited quuntlties In
the same way as pickled walnuts or
cucumbers. A meal of bread and ripe
olives Is not only palatable, but nutri
tious and sustaining, and the amount
eaten is to be limited only by the same
considerations as that of any other
good, wholesome food. In Southern
Europe and other regions the ripe olive
Is used as a staple article oC diet.

very good reason that the haul Is too

At present the Industry is In It experi
mental stage, but I have private Infor
mation that It has proved a complete
success, and the people behind It are
going Into the business on a huge scale
next spring. It Is quite a geographical
joke wben you come to think about it
a factory in Illinois for making Cali
fornia salmon out of Louisiana catfish;
but that Is exactly what they propose
to establish. They will utilize the cats
that are too large for the regular mar
ket and tbat are at present simply a
nuisance to the fishermen. Tbe can
ning process ia. of course? a secret, but
I understand thnt the meat Is lightly
smoked, and then put in a solution that
gives It the characteristic salmon pink
color. After treatment tbey say it Is
Impossible to distinguish It from tbe
real thing, and It Is no doubt equally
good, aa the objections will be entirely
of a moral and ethical character, which
don't go very far In modern bnsiness.
"Canned salmon Is one of the staple
food products of the world, and there
is no denying the fact that tbe Columbia
River supply Is beginning to run short.
The cattish, on the other hand, are ap
parently Inexhaustible, so there seems
to le a big future for tbe Industry. If
It proves feasible. I shair look to see
canned salmon factories established In
the vicinity of New Orleans, for there
is no logical reason why the fish should
be sent so far away from home to be
put up. and the transportation charges
will add materially to the expense.
Now that they are beginning to find
out what a nseful fish tbe Mississippi
River cat really is. It wouldn't surprise
ate to see It figure among table delica
cies In a numlH-r of different cities."

THE FEROCIOUS WEASEL
T-'osne lastsncea of tta Blootthtrwty
lliapo-ltl m.
The weasel Is the boldest and most
bloodthirsty of our small mammals; In
deed, noue of our larger lieusts are more
so. There is something devilish and
uncanny about It. It ers!sts like fate;
it eludes, but cannot be eluded. The
terror It Inspires In the smaller crea
tures rats, rabbits, chipmunks Is piti
ful to behold. A rat pursued by a
weasel has been known to rush Into a
room, titter dismal cries, and seek the
protection of a man In bed.
A woman in northern Vermont dis
covered that something was killing her
hens, often on the newt. She watched
for the enlprit. and at last ranght a
weasel In the act. It had seised the
ben. and rvfuscd to let go when she
tried to scare It away. Then the wom
an laid hold of It and tried choking IL
when the weasel released Its bold upon
the hen and fastened Its teeth Into her
band between the thumb and forefin
ger. She could not choke It off. and ran
to a neighbor for help; but no one could
remove It without tearing the flesh
from the woman's hand. Then some
one suggested a pal) of water: Into this
the band and weasel were plunged, but
the creature would not let go even
then, and did not nntil it was drown
ed. A farmer one day heard a queer
growling sound in the grass; on ap
proaching the spot he saw two weasels
contending over a mouse; both held
the mouse, pulling In opposite direc
tions, and they were so alisorbed In
the struggle that tbe farmer cautiously
put his hands down and grnhlied them
tioth by the back of the neck. He put
them In a cage and offered them bread
and other food. This they refused to
eat. but in a few days one of them had
eaten the other up. picking Iris Inmes
clean, nnd leaving nothing but the
skeleton.
The snme farmer was one day In his
cellar when two rats came out of a hole
near him in great haste, and ran up
the cellar wall ami along its top until
they came to a floor timber that stop
ped their progress, when they turned
at bay and looked excitedly back along
the course they bad coine. In a moment
a weasel, evidently In hot pursuit of
them, came out of the hole, but, seeing
the farmer, checked his course and
darted back. The rats had doubtless
turned to give him tight, and would
proiuibly have been a match for him.

icores Another Victory
A Terrible ltseaa Conquered by Dr.
Williams' Pink fll la Uuotor's Ef
forts Had Proved TJnavalllng;
and a Cure was Dei paired of.
From the Journal, M .us Pie want, Iowa.
Another person released from the
terrible grasp of an agonizing disease,
snotber name added to the long list of
those who have received new life br
the nse of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People.
For years A snfferet from the cruel
' disease of St. Vitus' Dance, scarcely
able to move, the power of speech al-
' most gone, and all efforts to cure her
proving in vain, Mrs. Minnie Fiedler,
Mt. Plesant, Iowa, thought her case
hopeless and sne had sunk to the
blackest depths of despair.
I She tnrned as a last resort to Dr.
; Williams' Pink Pills, and tbe won
ders worked by this remaikable medi
cine are told in her own words:
I "I was afflicted for years with St.
I Vitus' Dance. Tbe first symptoms of
' the disease began in 1889, when the
nerves began twitching in my left
' hand. I consulted physicians of this
city, but none of them ever did me
a particle of good. After I had snf-
, fered for two and one half years, the
disease continuing to grow worse, I
heard of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People.
"It was in 1891 that I was induced
to try them, and I was surprised at my
rapid improvement. I took only two
1 boxes, and was entirely rnred. It was
bard to realize that I, who for over
two years was scarcely able to walk, and
. who often found it almost impossible to
talk, should be restored to perfect
health and in full possession of all of
my powers by two boxes of this wonder
ful remedy.
' "I am happy to state that my health
is etiH perfect and I have never had
the slightest symptoms of a return of
the disease, although it is eight years
since I was enred.
"I know of others who have, been
likewise benefitted and are as grateful
as myself."
MRS. MINNIE FIEDLER.
I All the elements nucessary to give
new life aud richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves are contained,
in a condensed fotm, in Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. Thev are
also a specific for troubles peculiar to
females such as suppressions, irregu
larities and all forms of weakness
Tbey build up tbe blood, and restore
tho glow of health to pale and sallow
cheeks. In men they effect a radical
cure in all cases arising from mental
strain, over work or excess! of what
ever natnre. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
are sold in boxes (never in loo-e bulk)
at 50 cents a box or six boxes for
$2,50. and may be had of all drugcit-ts,
or diiect by mail from Dr. Willims
