For the future in tile distance,
And the good that I can do.

"Toucher's just as mean as she can
be," sobbed small Victoria, the huge
red tissue-paper hows on her braids
fluttering like birds with the violence
of her emotion.
"Don't you cure," said Gladys, sooth
ingly. "Next time we change seats you
will surely get out of the exile row, l t
cause you are too good in—in comper-
sition.”
"But we only have compersition once
a month, and 1 can’t even learn the
examples about the cost and price of
things like that," wailed Victoria.
"Well, I’ll get my big sister to do
your examples. She won't do mine,
but if I tell her you want to get out
of the exile row I think she'll do them
for you. Then you'll get enough hun
dreds to bo put up," added the little
consoler. “That exile row is tierce.
I’m glad I nevet got in it."
"You came pretty near getting in it
that day you ate a whole stick of can
dy that you took out of your stock
ing,” flashed Victoria. "Teacher looked
at you as if she was going to say
something and just then the principal
came In and she didn’t.”
"Yes, I know,” said peace-loving
Gladys, "but I’m always so good that l
don’t think she would put me down,
anyway.”
"You’re so good!” mimicked Vic
toria. “Well. I'd like to know what
girl it was that crawled down the
aisl,< and pitt her paper under Hen
rietta's desk so as not to get an er
rand in conduct. You think you’re
good! It's because she don't see you,
that’s why.”
Gladys remained discreetly silent.
•'Ob, dear! Oh, dear!" moaned Vic
toria. "I'll never get put up, because
I knot' that horrid Jimmie Gates will
send mi- notes with gum in them and
I'll just have to chew it. Teacher
would chew it herself if she wasn’t a
teacher. And then i'll get some er
rand iu conduct again and maybe my
pa will come to school and everybody
will say, 'There's your pa!’ and ev-
erything."
"Why don’t you tell Miss Lucy on
Jimmie?” asked Gladys. "If she read
one of ills notes out loud before every
body the way my other teacher used
to do, he’d stop writing pretty quick.
And, Vicky, why don’t you put the
gum in your stocking and save It un
til recess? That’s the way I do.”
“If 1 did, when I wipe my pen on
my stockin’ I'd see the gum and then
I’d have to take one little chow and
Miss Lucy would see me. She always
sees everything I do—I couldn't eat a
■whole stick of candy the way you did,
Gladys—and then I’d get some more
errands in conduct.”
"Why don’t you tell her that Jimmie
Gates writes notes to you and then
maybe she would change your seat?”
"If I have to sit in the exile row
I’d rather sit near Jimmie than that
horrid Poker McCarthy, who puts
things down your neck that feel like
worms and make you jump and
scream,” objected Victoria.
"Well, if he did, you could tell teach
er. You know what she did to Skinny
Morkin when he brought the shake to
school for nature study and tied it
in his buttonhole and let it get away.”
“Oh-h-li! Wasn’t that dreadful?”
shuddered Victoria, drawing up her
feet at the hideous recollection.
“So if Poker puts things down your
back you could get him expended.”
finished Gladys.
"I wouldn’t be a snitcher for any
thing in this whole world, Gladys
Threadwell. All you think of is tell
ing on people. My mother don’t like
me to go with girls that are always
.telling,” burst out Victoria, vehement-
,3y, pulling herself away from the on
folding arms of Gladys and running
down the street.
With eyes and mouth open to their
fullest extent Gladys stood gazing after
her, too dazed to say anything for
second. Then with an effort she pull
ed herself together and shrieked at
the top of her voice:
“You like to sit near Jimmie Gates!
He’s your b-e-a-u!”

Gathering and Marketing—Waste Ma
terial Made Into Green Sulphur Oil.
Vice-Consul H. H. Byiugton, of
Naples, in response to an inquiry con
cerning the olive oil Industry in Italy
forwards the following report front
H. M. Haigh, Consular Agent at Bari:
Olive growers in Southern Italy, as
a rule, do not take their fruit to a mill,
as each grove has its own presses. A
grower, however, will sometimes sell
his olives on the trees to speculators,
who pick the rion themselves. The
price paid varies from 68 cents to $1.-
16 a “tomolo,” the price fluctuating ac
cording as the crop is heavy or light
and the olives have developed oil or
run to fibre. A tomolo is the measure
used in this section for everything ex
cept liquids; three tomoli, heaped tip,
make a quintal, and one quintal is
equal to 100 kilos, ten quintals being
equal to a ton of 2,204.6 pounds.
As nearly as can he estimated, the
cost of picking fruit is about 20
francs, or $4. a ton, which estimate 13
a liberal one. Two or three years ago,
the average day wage of the conta-
dial was a franc and a half, but now
the price lias gone up to two francs,
and occasionally during harvest time
it is necessary to pay three francs.
The children who gather the olives
get from half a franc a day to 75 cen-
teaBiml (15 cents).
In a good year a tomolo will yield
from seven to eight litres of oil. Tli s
would aveiage twenty-five litres to the
quintal and 250 litres to the ton, or
from about sixty-three to sixty-five gal
lons. Oil sold at the grove can be
bought usually in a good year at from
80 to 100 francs a quintal, according
to the quality and according to the dis
trict in which it is produced. This
oil is unflltered and must he filtered
before being bottled or tinned for ex
port.
In the pickling branch of the olive
Industry it appears that this section
of Italy has developed nothing of com
mercial Importance. Each grove us
ually has a few trees of a peculiar va
riety, which are picked in August,
green, and these are pickled for the
grower’s own use, usually after a re
cipe of bis own. The pickling indus
try is monopolized by Spain, the Ital
ian olive being used entirely for mak
ing oil.
The waste material, or pomace, al
ter the olives are pressed, which is
called "sanse” In Italy, furnishes the
basis of one of the most valuable and
the newest of industries in the coun
try. This waste material is all con
tracted for from the farmers or grow
ers by the sulphur oil factories, and is
made into the green sulphur oil com
monly called olive oil foots In Ameri
ca, and is shipped,from Italy all over
the world for making the green cas
tile soap, the largest quantity being us
ed by tile silk dyers for washing the
silk. The farmers usually conti act
with these factories at prices running
from 2 1-2 to 3 1-2 francs a quintal, ac-
ordlng to the quality of their sanse,
or a period of ten years, and a grower
usually figures that what he gets for
his sanse will about pay for the mak
ing of his oil. This industry was intro
duced into Italy, about thirty years
ago by the French. There Is now a
trust of these factories with head
quarters in Bari.
These factories now have a process
for bleaching the green sulphur oil yel-
loy, so that It looks almost like a na
tural yellow olive oil gone rancid, and
it takes an expert to tell the differ
ence. This is used for making a white
castile soap, and will make almost as
good a piece of soap as a natural yel
low Spanish olive oil.
Olive groves will run in age from
15 years up to 200 years. There are
many trees in the famous district of
Bitonto which are two hundred years
old; however, a great medium grove,
with trees the size of medium apple
trees, is usually about seventy years
old. Trees will hear olives when they
are three years old, hut are mere
shrubs and yield only a handful of

clever, that it is well worth an occa
sional dollar to be taken in by them.
Does any educated person still be
lieve' in these things? "Professor”
Camille Flamarion, director of the Ob
is rvatory of Jovisy, does. “1 purpose

suspended in the air by the mystic
force of Eusapia Paladino. The me
dium commands a "spirit" to raise the
table. "Tills being appears to come
into existence and then become non
existent as soon ns the experiment is
ended.”
Professor Crookes, the celebrated
chemist, believes in the movement of
heavy substances when at a distance'

ture events, etc. In fact, there seems
to be very little left that lie won t
believe. Yet, like my elever friend
the showman, "Professor” Baldwin,
the White Mahatma, he is addicted
to such phrases as “the matter is su
pernormal” and to indicating that
that some mysterious force Is at wqrk
whose nature we do not yet know
(and for whose investigation we need
endowed professors).
But why do the professors still be
lieve? Let us lie just; they don’t.
Out of all this magnificent body of
men (just think of Koch, Virchow,
Roentgen, Behring and the thousands
of other great names!) Dr. Funk can
find only ten to mention as believers
in these vagaries. Among them (here
is not a single German and not a
Frenchman of prominence. Of the
Englishmen, the famous chemist
Crookes is like a child in his simple
faith and careless experiments as
soon as he leaves his own domain.
The three Americans we will leave
to their colleagues.
Why do these few remainders be
lieve contrary to all evidence?
A study of their characters will
show the reasons. One of them, a
professor of psychiatry, has written
hooks on insanity, genius and crim
inality that have been brilliant, start
ling and original, but in every respect
utterly devoid of scientific worth; ev

as well have been disproved by the
very facts he collected. Another is a
