FACTS AND COMMENTS. Ellwood Cooper, of Santa Barbara, the leading olive grower of California, says he has trees eight years did that have produced 2,000 gallons of olives to the acre. This would be equivalent to 250 gallons of oil to the acre, nnd the oil finds a ready market at $5 a gallon. The yield of one acre would thus be $1,250, which for a 100-acre ranch would be a pretty fair income. But these figures aro not represented to apply to any except the very choicest trees, and an uncommonly good year. But even computing profits of olive culture at as low a figure as one tenth, a twenty-acre ranch would sup port a family very comfortably after six or seven years of waiting. ': Half of a life of sixty years spent In the Eastern penitentiary at Phila delphia by Jack Canter, one of the most expert forgers in the country, has come to an end. Having brushed his thin gray hair and his mustache, he called for his shoes and broadcloth suit. The insatiate moth, however, had riddled the ovcrgaiters and feasted royally on the garments. Ho had to buy a new outfit, which he was well able to do, as ho had a credit of several thousand dollars with tho warden. "When the new clothes and carriage came he shook hands with the gate keepers, stepped into the carriage and drove away to a prominent hotel. Some say he has $40,000, and some say more, with which to sustain his now station as a private gentleman. He is well educated, writes and speaks several lauguages, and has traveled a great deal and mingled in good society. The United States expend $84,000, 000 a year upon education. The figures from all the States and Terri tories have been collated from official sources by the bureau of education at Washington, and various other inter esting items are included in the great statement. In 214 cities, each with more than 7,500 inhabitants, there is a school population of 2,601,498, with an average daily attendance of 1,105, 7G3, .and an aggregate annual expend iture of more than $25,000,000. The city of Xew York heads the list, with 385,000 children of school age, of whom 27O,l"0 are enrolled in 127 schools; the annual expenditure being in round numbers $-'1,400,000. There are in tho different States 220 normal schools, 102 business colleges, kindergartens, 227 colleges in which, women are received, 83 scientific schools, 142 schools of theology and 120 medical colleges and schools. Tho International Fisheries exhibi tion in England next year will be on a grand scale. Jlr. liirkbeck, M. 1, head of tho executive committee, has issued a report which informs us that the imperial government of China has applied fi;r space, that Canada wants 10,000 square fuet, and that nearly all countries have come in. There will bo prizes fur models of fishing and carrier boats; four money prizes, offered by Ashmead Bartlett Burdett Coutts for the best collection of fishing rods; a prize of $100, given by the Baroness Burdett Coutts, for the best plan of a fish market; and a prize of $:00 for the best model of a carrier boat, tho boat to bo specially adapted for preserving the lives of her crew. The English government will strike medals at the mint as rewards of merit, will issue diplomas of honor, and will probably make a grant of public money toward the expenses of the exhibition. Tho magnificent Yellowstone park is in danger of being rapidly destroyed and its natural Ixxiuties defaced by wantonness and vandalism, unless the government steps in to protect it. It is said that the first thing the foreigner does after registering at the Brevoort house is to start for the Yellowstone l'ark and needlessly shoot down scores of its largo game deer, buffaloes, bears, antelope and mountain sheep. Kor aro foreigners always the chief sinners in this respect. Many of the most famous Yellowstone geysers have 'already been ruined by people who amuse themselves by hurling immense trunks of pine trees into them in order to see the water force them high in the air. In many cases these logs have stuck in the water apatures, and have completely stopped tho spouting. In Wyoming the peoplo aro taking steps to put a stop to such vandalism, and tho wholesale slaughter of buffaloes and other game by tourists. The adulteration in drugs that is said to be going on is a matter of serious import, and the London Satur day Review discusses it as follows: " It is astonishing how little suspicious even suspicious people are of the drugs they take when they are ill. They are quite alive to the prevalence of adul teration in other trades, but they will swallow medicines hastily fetched from the nearest chemist's without so much as a misgiving that they are not .in all respects what they profess to be. Yet in nothing is adulteration so easy and so profitable at in drugs. The taste will some times do something toward detecting it in articles of food, but in medicines the taste is almost powerless. The patient classes tho remedies ho is condemned to take under the general heads of nauseous and not nauseous, and he does not care' to draw any finer distinctions. Genu ine drugs aro often extremely costly, so that the gains which can be made by substituting other substances for them may easily be very large. Yet in no trade are the effects of adulteration so disastrous as In that of the druggist. Adulterated food or drink may sometimes provoke disease, but adulterated drugs are use less to cure it. It is impossible to say n how many cases deaths have been Bet to the violence of tho malady or to want of skill on the part of tho doctor which have roally been caused by worthless medicines. Tho doctor or dered the medicines he thought appro priate, and if actually administered these remedies would probably have been sufficient to cJieck the course of the disease. But what was adminis tered was not these remedies, but a counterfeit of them, and, though the patient did not detect tho difference, the disease did, and the patient died. How to insure that drugs shall be what they profess ' to be is one of the most Important prwblems In practical medicine, and one to the solution of which very few contributions have yet been made.

O'Connor replied that it was not tho place to setthi their differences, whereupon Mabry told inui ho should not live. It seems that Mabry was armed nnd O'Connor was not. Tho cauiia of tho difficulty was an old feud about the transfer of some properly from Mabry to O'Connor. Later in the afternoon Mabry sent word to O'Connor that ho would kill him on sight.

The veil wtr.s lifted oil' a London in tcrior at nn iminest held the other day in lutecliajit'l, disclosing a picture to which Hogarth or Cniikslmnk would have failed to do justice, and from which the, moral artists of to-day, who show a husband heating out his wife's brains with a chair or knocking he down with a bottle or a poker, migh fairly take a hint. The victim in this case wtis a child. The story is told by a relative, who, hnuselt drunk, still re tained some of his wits. On a Tues day night ho came home about half past seven. On entering the roota ho saw his brother lving on the floor drunk, and his, wife lving on the bed with her face toward the wall, and drunk. The deceased child was lying at its father s feet, with the head toward the fender. There was a niutr bv the father's side, but he could not say what it con tained, lie woke the mother tip, and told her she ought tj be ashamed to leave the child on the lloor, and he ten, nt her request, picked the child up, when he saw blood flowing from the mouth, and discovered it was dead. The doctor deposed that " he accounted for the abrasions on the side by the child being dragged about, and it was quite possible that the injuries to the head were caused by some blunt instru ment, such as a poker or llatiron. It wtis also possible that the child was caught up by the legs and swung round and came in contact with something. His opinion was that the child had been struck by some blunt instrument." The father of the child termed it " a crime and a mystery." Unlike many a London " mystery, the solution d oes not seem very difficult to discover. A Few Comets. Astronomers tell us that comets havo their orbits and reappear at regular intervals. Halley's comet (discovered in 1G82) has reappeared flvo times, the last being 18H0. I was a boy then, writes "Hermit, of tho Troy (Is. i .) Times, but well remember tho strange pettacle, for it was tho first comet I had ever seen. It was, however, a very inferior thing compared witli tho comet which appeared seven years .afterward, and which was grand to a degree that almost seemed fearful. It was forty-live degrees long and the tail spread like a fan until it was nt least ten degrees in breadth. For six weeks, this strange spectacle was visible in tho northern Bky and frequently its color was so red as to awaken terror. It was, indeed, supposed by some Mil- lerites to be a messenger to destroy the earth. Considering tho enormous sr.e of this comet what must, have been its head ? This question deeply interested astronomers, but it wtis never solved. The head was f ar beneath the homo ind hence was never seen by mort ye, but as a matter of proportion it must havo been immense. The comet of 1858 was very largo and attracted universal attention, and next caino the ' war comet, as it was called, because it appeared during the beginning of the rebellion. It was certainly a beautiful spectacle. The most likely thing to become a woman A little girl. May the good work begun by f?t.
