There .le a vast amount of ignor- ance prevalling among intelligent people of the north concerning tine growth, production: and marketing Of bananas. Mary) people Imagine that the natives in tropical climes step, out of thelr, huts in the early morning and pluck and eat bananas fresh (rein tine mane the same as they would oran.gee anis other fruits, Bananas ripen ed on the plant are not sotltabte for food and would • be very) much the same as the pith which le found in the northern cornstalk or elder. Bananas sold in tee United States, even after travelling 3,000 miles in a green state, are every bit as good ae bananas ripened under a tropical sum. This is probably' true or no other export rrudt. The plant of which bananas is the fruit Is not a tree nor is it a bush or vine. it is 'Amply' a gigantic plant, growing to a height of from; fifteen to twente feet. About eighteen reet from the ground the leaves,, oftimee eight feet long, come out in a' sort of clus- ter, from the centre of which springs , a bunch of bananas. These do not grow with the bananas pointing up- ward, naturally; and if the stem grew straight, tfneyl would bang ex- actly ae seen in the fruit stores and grocers' windows. This, however, is not the case ; the sten] bends under the weight of tile fruit and this brings it into directly the opposite position, with the large End of the stalk up and the fringes pointing to- ward the sun. A word of explanation concerning some banana terms. Each ban- ana is called a 'finger" and each of these little clusters of fingers sur- rounding a stalk, is called a • hand', the quality and value of each 'bunch depend upon the number o1 hands it has. Some may wonder/dhow the fruit is cut from the'toil o$ tp'lant fifteen feet from the ground. The native lab- orers cat the stalk part ways up its height, the weight Of the fruit causes the stalk to slowly; bend oven !until the bunch or bananas first nice- ly, reaches the ground, then the bunch is cut oar with the ever -ready, 'machete and carried to the river or railroad for shipment. The plant at the same time is cut close to the ground. The banana is a ver.y!proliflo producer of itself and at every clean- ing o1 the Iand It is necessary! to cut down many or the young plants, oar "suckers,' as they are termed, in order that they may not become !overcrowded up to a certain limit; the tower suckers on a given area the larger the fruit they) will pro- duce.; �+ Ask for Minad's and take no Other. SOME PROVERBS OF THE JAPANESE. The man who knows Japan was speaking the other evening of its pro- verbs. "We all know," he said, "the proverb about `more haste, less speed,' but the Jags put it: 'If in a hurry, go round.' W' say, very crudely, that `accidents will happen in the best regulated fam- ilies,' but the Japanese, with a view to making the phrase more picturesque, say: 'Even a monkey sometimes falls from a tree.' The saying about edged tools and cut fingers, the people of the Flowery Kingdom vary thus: 'If one plays with tigers one is likely to have trouble,' while our 'oil and water won't mix' they know as 'you can't rivet a nail in a custard' Where we say 'out of evil good may come,' they say 'the lotus springs from the nod.' Mrs. Partington's attempt is in Japan scat- tering fog with a fan,' 'building bridges to the clouds'`or 'dipping up the ocean with a shell,' And when the person leak- ing such an attempt has failed the Jap- anese say that, after all, 'thine own heart makes the world"—Philadelphia Press. Tricks of Young Russians to Avoid Ser- vice. "The life of a Russian soldier," said the .score, "is desperately hard, and ow- ; ing to the compulsory service laws there are all sorts of attempts made by the simple minded Peasant to avoid the quicker witted recruit officer. At a station in eastern Russia, for instance, a 'conscript recently pleaded deafness and so wouldn't answer any of the questions put to him. "'You can go home,' said the sur- geon at last, in a very low tone. "The fellow jumped for the door, and so was caught. Near Moscow a Hercules said that the Index and middle Angers of his right hand were joined together and could not be separated. They didn't look it, but the surgeon's strength was not great enough to separate them, and at last the examiner said: "'How were your fingers before you had this accident?' "'They were this way,' said Hercules. —and, to the surprise of every one, he Illustrated by opening his fingers as eas- ily as anybody else. — Philadelphia Press.

If we want to get the habit of hurry out of our brains we must cut ourselves off, patiently and kindly, from the at- mosphere of hurry about us. The habit gets so strong a hold on the nerves, and is impressed upon them so forcibly as a steady tendency, that it can be de- tected by a close observer even in a per- son who is lying on a lounge in the full belief that he is resting. It shows itself especially in the breathing. A wise ath- lete has said that our normal breathing should consist of six breaths to one min- ute. If the reader will try this rate of breathing, the slownes of it will sur- prise him. Six breaths to one minute seem to make the breathing unnecessar- ily slow, and just double that seems about the right number for ordinary people; and the habit of breathing at this slower ate is a great help, from a physical standpoint, toward erasing the tendency to hurry.—Annie Payson Call, in Leslie's Monthly for June. -,,0g.,L:4tii tt! emenesesettgensase '.t9Vi1 •-,- . +"4l**. 5,t+7 L1t4Nn'J: \,9i•r, Usep�y,�gy g�ptipgG NLY the SOFT, SHAY TOUGH Rl 11fTL1 MT crz had on being supplied witit one of the following brands 1 -- In Rolls—" Staatndard," "Rotel,'York," "Mammoth," �Oe in Sheets -4' la'," 'R Royal," ' "Regal," a Orient," 4*.e. a15A1dUFACTUIRED BY G1REAT.ST OF THE PARTS..

Why 2 Be- cause while they are illiterate, ignorant, degraded, as a rule they have enough to eat and drink. They are supersti- tious, it is true, but religious super- stition is not sufficient to make millions of people to subadt to a government that engenders starvation through taxa- tion. Russia's rulers have been shrewd; they have not tried to make their ignor- ant, illiterate people intelligent, but they have ben careful so to govern that the people would not rebel, yelling: "Bread or blood!" Nobody becomes a Nihilist in Russia save an educated man, who is a political enthusiast or is a mem- ber of the nobility who has become, through disappointed official ambition in the army or navy or civil service, a bitter, vindictive malcontent.

"The other afternoon," said a doctor, "I called to see a patient, and, much to my satisfaction, I found him sleeping soundly. I sat by his bed, felt his pulse without disturbing him, and waited for him to awaken. After a few minutes a dealer's cart, with discordant ringing bells, turned into the street, and as their first tones reached me my patient opened his eyes. " `Doctor,' he said, 'I'in glad to see you, and awfully glad. that you woke me, for I have been tortured by a most distressing dream that must have lasted for several hours. I dreamed that I was sick, as I am, and that my boy came into the room with a string of most horribly sounding bells and rang them in my ears, while I hadn't the power to move or speak to him.

WOMEN AFTER MIDDLE AGE. After middle age the average woman begins to care more for women than she does for men. Her allegiance undergoes a psychic change, her eyes are opened, her judgment cleared, and she learns to appprediate her own sex fully. The char- acteristics that seemed to her hate- ful frailties long ago, are defended now as their poetic distinctions. She sees in every girl the fair mirage of her own youth; in the pathetic care worn face of the young matron, the gentle heroism of her other years; in the mother of a grown family her own queen days when sons and daughters suddenly grew tall and proclaimed her. And for them all she has a chastened affinity. Itten have pass- ed out of her calculations. They are the things with whom she failed or succeed- ed, from lover and husband down to her youngest son. And, however much she remains dependent upon her, she is no longer elated to them in the same way. She has survived thein and returned to her own. t7se Lever's Dry Soap C powder) to wash woolens and flannels, --you'll like .it.. $2.. ALWAYS IN LOVE. Thomas Moore was always in love.
