The farmer and th< laborer leave their homes in the morning with no other provisior than a loaf of bread and a pack age of pickled olives wrapped lip in leaves. This is their daily dinner and it satisfies them. The oil of the olive is a substitute foi butter and lard, and is needed for the cooking of almost every dish, while until recently it wae the chief illuminating power of the eastern communities. Kerosene is rapidly replacing it, owing to the cheap price at which it is sold. The entire supplv ol soap used in Syria is made of n 11 v a nil The tree has a very slow growth; it beara no berries foi eeven years, and the crop scarcely pays for the gatheriug until the tree is ten years old, but it will continue to yield abundantly foi centuries, to extreme old age, and requires but little care, So lonf as there is a mere fragment ol the trunk remaining green shots will hurst out and yield oily her ries.
