. LONG LIVED OLIVE TREES.
aeievanrd ,
Groves That Have Bean Productive For
{ Many Cunturies. ‘7
The longevity of ollve treex Is extraor
dipary, In Syria have been found some
rewarkably ancieut olive trees whose
ages are establishod beyond question,
A trust deed exists which relates to an
orchard covering 490 trees near 'l'ripoli,
Syrin, the trust deed having been is
sued In the year 1410,
Thougzh the trees look aged, they still
beur fruit of tine quality In abundance
and are likely to majutain their pro
ductiveness for many hundreds of
years, An olive grove near Belrut
Is admitted to be the third largest
olive farm in the world. Syvian fruit
farmers are exiending olive culture
with much zeal aud etrect,
Under Luropean systems of culture
the Syrians Qake the olive tree bear
each season, while in the okl days oue
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 frult% from the branches with
sticks, wii seriously injured them,
The met%ur grinding the olive
for oil and piclng the fruit are pecul
far. Neither the grinders nor pickers
receive wages, but are paid on per
centage. The pickers roceive 5 per
cent of the actual fruit picked, and ithe
grinders get 10 per cent of the fruit
ground.—Dundee Advertiser,
i i SR .
The habit of looking at the best side
of any event is worth far more than a
thonsand pounds a year.—Johnson.

A Warning.
fove was born upon o day- '
All homeless at my door it lay
While as yet its new drawn breath
Scarce divided life from death,
Would T had cradled it away
Unquestioned in my care to stayt
But “What?' and “Whence?' I instant
cried,
And when no answering volce replied,
Nor scroll nor token met my sight
1 bared it to the winter light:
Then ’broidered on its robe I spied
Its name—too late-for it had died.
