jte that the fight on illegal and dan
crons oils, which the report of State
hemist McCandless showed abounds
i the state, is on in dead earnest.
In eight cities in Georgia, the names
[ which are withheld by the oflficials,
r<re supplies of oil have been tested

plow the limit of 120 degrees Fnhren

Mgerous and illegal by the law of

It is the opinion of officials that
lould the names of the cities at
hich large confiscations have been

1 probability be caused, and this the

avoided. In order to give pro

etofore, it is understood, oils

IMITATIVE FILIPINOS.
f*lie American I.ocal Paper 9nyi They
Exceed All Other People in Imitation.
Of all the races peopling this mun
dane sphere not one has such an extra
ordinary spirit of Imitation as that
which inhabitants the Philippine Isl
ands. This race of people, of Malay
origin, which occupies all the archipel
ago of the Celebas Sea, lacks the
aesthetic taste necessary for the prop
er combination of colors, constructive
ability, uniformity in architectural de
signs. and .he good taste which is re
quired for the culture and advance
ment of a people. They have no ideas
of this kind of their own, and in all
matters of taste do nothing more than
what they see in races of the West.
Any one who has observed the Fili
pinos will nave noticed that they have
no ideas at all in regard to the proper
combination of colors in their wearing
apparel, as, in spite of their dusky
complexions, they select In their cloth
ing the colors which are least suitable
to them. You will see Indian girls
and half-breeds as brown as berries
using in their dresses and scarfs such
colors as blue, green, yellow 7 , brown
and black. A woman of dusky com
plexion with a dress of any of these
colors presents an appearance that is
hideous in the extreme. It is not un
common to see dark-skinned Indian
girls dressed in such bright greens
that If they should encounter a cara
bao they are liable to be eaten by that
festive animal on account of their simi
larity to a bunch of hay.
The reason why these people cut this
ridiculous figure is that they see these
bright colors on European women, and,
without thinking of the effect which
on account of their different com
plexion such hues are liable to produce,
readily ndept them and consider them
selves the most elegant of the elegant.
No sooner does anew fashion arrive
from Paris, Vienna or Berlin in shoes,
trousers, hats, shirts or neckwear, no
matter how extravagant, the Indian
and the half-breed immediately adopt
them.
The Am-rican troops had been In
Manila only a few days with their
trown Huits before the stores on the
Escolta w r ere besieged by natives and
half-breeds buying all the brown cloth
obtainable, wool, cotton or silk, and in
a few days they were all arrayed in
suits of the same color as those worn
by the army of occupation. They
noticed the hats of straw or felt with a
blue pclka dot band, and In a few
days all the Indians and half-breeds
were wearing the same kind of hats
as the Americans.
I believe that the Americans will
have but little trouble in introducing
here their usages, customs and lan
guage, us to that end the spirit of Imi
tation which predominates in the na
tive race w r ill be a powerful factor.—
The Manila Freedom.
Facts About Olive*.
Every one knows there is such an
article as olives, most everybody has
eaten them, but few s.re aware of their
nature, properties and characteristics,
to say nothing of their origin, home,
cultivation, preparation, etc.
The original home of the olive tree
was in Syria and Palestine, thence it
was carried to Greece, where it flour
ished in the time of Homer, who
makes mention of the tree and its
fruit. The origin of the olive is lost
in antiquity, but there is little doubt
that it is many centuries older than
the Greek poets.
The olive tree is a small one, gen
erally from 1 to 3 feet in diameter and
13 to 35 in height. Old specimens are
found which have attained larger pro
portions, but these are exceptional.
Italy is the most prolific country at
the present time in the production of
olives, France and Spain being second
in the order named. Olives are also
produced in many other countries.
They were planted in California by the
Spanish missionaries somewhere
about 170>3, and to this day “Mission”
olives are considered the best in the
state.
The value of the olive as a relish is
of considerable importance, but its
oil is of more importance, commercial
ly speaking.

Henderson is in love. Of course,
that is nothing unusual. The object
of his affections is n pretty little girl
at Mandel’s. She is extremely co
quettish, and, to use Henderson’s own
expression, she could not be sincere
even if sbe saw him marry another
girl.
He was taking her out as often as
his little salary would permit, and
many times be bas exceeded tbe limit.
Regularly twice a week he Is at tbe
eornor, rigged up with at least eigh
teen cents worth of clean laundry,
waiting patiently for the store to "let
out.” For months be bas thus escort
ed her to her north side home, and
every time he has asked her to tell
him something encouraging. She al
ways evades his question, but the oth
er day sbe promised to write to him.
The next morning be received tbe
letter. It was the chilliest one be bad
ever read, and he was Just on the point
of despair when he saw the following
words In one corner of the last page.
"I wrote something on the back of the
stamp.”
Carefully, and very curious, he la
bored for almost an hour, before be
could loogen tbe stamp of the envelope.
Finally he succeeded.
Upon the back was written: "Was it
hard to remove?”—Chicago Journal.

“ I cannot express my gratitude to
you for the good that Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound has done
for me. I have taken five bottles of
the Compound and two boxes of Liver
Pills and feel better in every respect.
I had suffered for years with dropsy;
the veins in my limbs burst, caused
from the pressure of the water. I had
the worst kind of kidney trouble, faint
ing spells, and I could not stand long
at a time. I also had female weakness
and the doctor said there was a tumor
in my left side. The pains I had to
stand were something dreadful. ▲
friend handed me a little book of yonrs,
so I got your medicine and it has saved
my life. I felt better from the first
bottle. The bloating and the tumors
have all gone and I do not suffer any
pain. lam still using the Vegetable
Compound and hope others may find
relief as I have done from its use.”—
