Mow Joaev Wns Caualit,
Josey liked to keep otlice for Ms
1 Uncle Doctor," as he called him. Ilul
the doctor did not always like to trust
him there when he was called away,
for Josey had a habit of looking into
things that made the doctor fear he
might get into mischief, for ,losey \\ as
a meddlesome boy. One day, how
ever, Josey found himself alone, and
began to look at everything on the ta
ble, The electric battery pleased him
most. „
"Ho! I know how to fix this," he
said. "If any man came in that want
ed 'lectric treatment I could do it as
well as Uncle Doctor. There! Now
it's all right! Now you take hold of
these handles."
The taking hold was very easy
enough, but letting go was quite an
other matter. Any little boy or girl
who has ever tried it will know how
Josey's arms jingled and ached, but he
had to hold on— he could not let go;
and there he was, tears running down
his face, when his uncle heard his
screams and came in.
"You got caught that time, Josey,"
said his uncle when he had set him
free. "Now, remember that bad hab
its hold fast to a boy worse than an
electric battery does, and are harder to
get rid of. And meddling is a verv
bad habit"
"I won't have any more to do with
either of them," said Josey.—Sun

The Yatu Old Woman.
There was once an old woman so
very poor that she had no house, but
lived in a hollow tree. One day she
found a piece of money lying in the
road. Full of joy at her good fortune,
she began to consider what she should
buy with the money.
"If I get anything to eat," she said
to herself, "I shall quickly devour it,
and that will be the end of the matter.
That will not do at all. If I buy
clothes, people will call me proud, and
that will not do; and besides I have
no closet to keep them in. Ah! 1 have
it! I will buy a broom, and then ev
erybody that I meet will think 1 have
a house. A broom is the thing. A
broom it shall be."
So the old woman went into the
next town and bought a broom. She
walked proudly along with her pur
chase, looking about her all the time
to see if people noticed her and looked
envious, thinking of her house. But
as no one seemed to remark her, she
began to be discontented with her bar
gain.
"Does everybody have a house ex
cept me?" she said to herself, crossly.
"I wish I had bought something
else!"
Presently she met a man carrying a
small jar of oil.
"This is what I want," exclaimed
the old woman; "anybody can have a
house, but only the truly rich can have
oil to light it with."
So she bartered her broom for the
oil, and went on more proudly than
ever, holding the jar so that all could
see it. Still she failed to attract any
particular notice, and she was once
more discontented. As she went
moodily along she met a woman with
a bunch of large flowers.
"Here, at last, I have what I want,"
the old woman thought. "If I can get
these, all that see me will believe I am
just getting my house ready for a bril
liant party. Then they'll be jealous,
I hope."
So when the woman with the flow
ers came close to her she offered her
oil for them, and the other gladly
made the change.
"Now lam indeed fortunatel" she
said to herself. "Now I am some
body!"
But still she failed to attract atten
tion, and, happening to glance at her
old dress, it suddenly occurred to her
that she might be mistaken for a ser
vant carrying flowers for her master.
She was so much vexed by the thought
that she flung the bouquet into the
* ditch, and went home to her tree emp
ty-handed.
"Now I am weU rid of it all," she
said to herself.— St. Nicholas.

An Adventuts In Which a Traveler, a

"Yea," said a well-known EVntis
ville tourist to us the other day, "I've
traveled a good deal in Kentucky, and
It isn't a particular quiet country ltar a
man to move about In. Tho better
sort of people there, mind you, are as
nice folks as you would meet With any
where, but the roughs are about as
rough as they make them."
" Did you ever got into any trouble? rt
"Once, when I was staying at Lex
ington, I had a rather Unpleasant ad
venture."
" Let us have it, by all means.*
" I noticed a big tough fellow come
Into the hotel and pay for a bed. He
was as ugly a look ng brute as 1 eVif
saw. Wore a black patch qver his eve,
and had his I ftggy jean* stuffed into
his boot* like a regular dimo novel
border ruffian. I tttnie at once to tho
conclusion that it would be healthy to
keep out of that fellow's way. and t
eon eii I was surprised that such a
bully would be accepted as a guest at
a first-class ht tel.
" The next morning 1 was up early.
It was a little chilly and I took a chair
by Mie stove wliile they got breakfast
ready. I hadn t been there more than
five minutes before in walked the very
fellow 1 wished to avoid, and ho drew
up a chair and sat down beside me.
"' Say, stranger, how about them
trains for Danville?'
" • I don't know anything about the
trains,' said 1, rather stirtly.
"Then I got up and took a chair
dear the door. There was no one in
the office but a dapper little clerk, a
chirpy little fallow about five feet high
and very girlish in appearance.
" The obnoxious individual came
and squatted down in a chair beside
me. 1 felt myself getting hot and cold
with vexation, but knowing that I
would have no chance in a personal
encounter with such a giant, prudence
suggested that 1 act quietly. Tnen he
Dew out of li s pocket a dirty piece of
t iliacco which looked as though h • had
half-chawed it with his wolfish fangs.
"' I lev a chaw, stranger ?
"•Thank you, 1 never chew.'
"'Now, see here, yer stuckup cuss.
Think yer can come down here and
sliow off yer high-toned airs. Guess
ver'll Bwaller that lump of 'bacca, or
111—''
" What he would have done 1 do not
know, for in an instant, with all tho
lithe activity oi a panther, that little
clerk sprang ovt r the count-r with a
b g navy revolver in his hand, and
every hair of his head br stling like
the back of a terrier in a dog light.
" 'Get out of this, you brute, or IT)
blow the roof of your head off.'
"The bully's savage look vanished
from his face and. like a wh pped
hound, he slunk backward out at the
door, only saying in a meek, shame
faced manner : " Don't shoot, ndster;
for God's sake, don't shoot; 1 war onljr
fcolin".'
"Then, when the door was slammed
toon the figure of the retreating bully,
the clerk turned to me and said in the
most polite and indifferent manner;
♦ I think, sir, you 11 find your breakfast
ready.'

Olive Culture in America.
Tho olive has lately acquired for
Americans a new and practical interest
from the discovery that it can be easily
and profitably grown in California.
Residents of Californ a have been
accustomed to consider a small bottle
of "Mission oil" for their salad as a
trca ure ; lor it far surp asses in purity
and sweetness any imported oil. Hut
it is only within a few years that
private owners of land in Southern
California have seriously considered the
question whether olive culture could
be made a paying enterprise. So many
possibilities ciing to the broad lan is
and rich soil of the Golden f-tate that
it is not wonderful if some of them
have been overlooked. And, though
experiments in olive-growing have
been ma le on a small scale with gool
su cess during the last twenty years,
popular interest is only nyw beginning
to be awakened. In the first, place
there was the drawback, peculiarly
great to the American tempera cent,
of the slowness of growth, and irregu
lar productiveness of the olive in Eu
rope. The old Tuscan saying is, "I'lant
a vineyard for yourself, an orange
grove for your children, and an olive
orchard for your grandchildren."
As a people, we are not fond
of looking far into the future;
and besides, judging from ourselves, we
are not at all sure that our grand
children will wish to live where we
do. But the olive is good enough to
adapt itself to the rapitity of American
demands. It matures much earlier
than in Europe, and bear 3 oftener and
more plentifully. The system of pro
pagation from cuttings, as far as can
be judged at present, gives, in our rich
soil, robust trees; and there is no need
to employ the slow process of raising
them from the seed. Five years is
surely not long to wait for a crop; and
after that time, according to the
best California authorities, the
trees will yield a full and in
many cases an annual harvest.
At a late meeting of the State horti
cultural society in San Francisco it
was stated that one olive farm yielded
$2,200 to the acre. These trees bore
every year, and were situated on
" adobe ** hillsides, the bottom lands
being found, as in Italy, less favorable
to the fruit. The variety was the
" Mission olive," which has not been
identified with any of the varieties
now cultivated in Europe. The olive
was introduced into South America in
If6o, by Antonio Ribera; but the
California trees sprang from seeds sent
from San Bias in Mexico by Don
Joseph de Galvez with his expedition
to rediscover the port of Monterey.—

I know w her of I speak, for I have pass d
through this very esi eriente myself. Nearly
ten year* ago 1 was the picture of health,
weighing more than 200 pounds, and as
strong and healthy as any man I ever knew.
W hen I felt the symptoms 1 have above de
merit ed they caused rne annoyance, not only
by rea&n of their aggra aling nature, but
because I had never le.t any pain be ore
Other doctors to'd me I was iroubltd with
malaria, and I treat d my elf accordingly.
I did nt believe, however, that malaria
could show such aggravated symptoms. Jt
never occ. rrofi to me that analysis would
he p solve t! e trouble, as i did presume
my difficulty was located in bat portion of
the body. Bit I continued to growwoire.
I IK 1 a faint sensat on at the pit of my
itnna h nearly every day. I felt a great
desire to eat. and yet I loathed food. I was
on t -nt \ t red. and still I could not sleep.
My bram was unusual y active, but I could
m t think conne.-ttdly. My existence was a
living misery. I continued ia this condition
for nearly a your; never free from pam,
r.evrrfor a moment happy. Buch an exist
ence i* far wore than death, for which I
conftas 1 earnestly longed.
It was while suff ring thus that a friend
advised me to make a final attempt to re
cover my health. I sneered inwardly at his
suggestion, but I was too weak to make any
resistance, lie furnished mo with a remedy,
simple yet pala able, and within two days I
observed a slight chaDge for the better. This
awakened my conrage. I felt that I would
not die at that time. I continued the use of
the remedy, taking it in acoordauoe with
diiections, until I became not only restored
to my former health and strength, bnt of
f eater vigor than I have ever before known.
his condition has continued up to the pres
ent time, and I believe I should have died as
miserably as thousands of other men have
died and are dying every day had it not been
for the simple yet wonderful power of War
ner's Safe Cure, the remedy I employed.
The lectnrer then described his means of
restoration more in detail, and ooncluded as
follows :
My complete recovery has cause 4 me to
investigate the subject more carefully, and 1

l Like an Evil Spirit.
In olden times it was thought that evil spirits came in through crack-,
and keyholes. The generally approved way to keep them out was to plu
up the keyholes and stop the cracks with cotton. Notwithstanding
preventive measures, the evil things had their own way and often earner
as they pleased.
So comes malaria now-a-days. We try to keep it out of the kevholc
and it comes in by the crack. We stop up the crack, and lo! it comes from
a leak m the plumbing, or an opening from some neglected drain or from
some unsuspected source and unguarded direction.
$ We cannot always keep malaria out, but we can give it b-ttle -nrl
dnve its effects from our systems. If BROWN'S IRON BITTERS is R ken i
li me, malaria has not a ghost of a chance. This is the great family medi
cine. Your druggist sells it, and you ought to keep a bottle in the' house
