PLANTAIN JUICE.-Jamaica

PLANTAIN JUICE.-Jamaica
is exporting plantaip juice
This plantain juice is expressed
from the pulpy stems of the
plantain and banana trees,
which, but for late experiments
on the valuable quality of the
sap, would be thrown away as
worthless. The fruit is not
used for this purpose at all;
that is gathered and used by
itself as formerly;J and HUM
bolt estimates the nutritive
yield Of an acre in plantains to
be more than is given by pota-
toes or yams. The fruit prod
uct remains the same, and the
juice of the stems worth from
500 to 5000 per acre in Ja-
maica and Santo Domingo,
may be called q clear addition
al profit. This plantain Juice,
so common, yet so long left
untried and unknown, is a
gumsny substance capable of
being turned into an article as
beautiful and capable of orna-
mental uses as the best pdpier
mache, at much less cost. A
French gentleman, who had
expeEimented with the sap of
the pIantain and fiber of the
zamiaca (another nearly unr,
tried gift of the tropics), states
that their combination pro-
duced a splendid article for

he said, "lhe most exquisitely,

material that had ever been

Storms-How They Can be
... Predicted. Ger. ....t

L. ID. lAduIS, III tuO ldSI Oll-
exy, says:
"The general tri-daily press
report contains nearly always
a statement of the positions
and movements of-the larger
areas of high. and low barOme-
ter, of cold and warm weather,
or of stormy, cloudy, and clear
weather. In the absence Of a
weather-map, therefore, one
can determine in a general
way wether these are approach
ng to or departing from his
neighborhood, and this knowl-
edge leads to the following
conclusions: . .i..' ...I. &.
1. If the barometer is very
low at the centre, very severe
gales may be expected over a
large area-say with a circle
of two hundred miles radius
froln October to April, but
within a smaller circle-leSs
than one hundred miles-from
May to September.
.. Areas Of low barometer,
when first perceived in Mime
sofa, may be expected move to
eastW ard in summer months,
with westerly winds Oh Lake
Superior; and TO move to the
southeast in tie fall, with east
erly and nOrtheasterly winds
on Superior and Michigan.
3. When perceived in Ne
braska or the indian Territory,
they may be expected to move
northeastward to Lake Onta-
rio, with northeasterly winds
on Superior, Michigan, and
Huron. "i p. I-
A. When perceived in Texas
or anywhere on the Gulf coast
they may be expected to move
northward to the latitude of
thirty-fve or forty degrees,
and there begin to move north
eastwardly with. nOtheasterly,
northerly, and northwesterly
winds Oh the lakes, and subse-
quently southerly winds on the
Middle and East Atlantic
coasts. ..
). When perceived on the
coast OF Florida or off the
South Atlantic they, in the
fall, winter and spring, may
be expected TO move slowly
up the coast, preceded by
northeasterly winds and rain.
6. Whilst the preceding SEN
tences mark out the most gen.
eral average phenomena at
tending the movement of the
disturbing areas of low pres
sure, it must be borne in mind
that but very rarely will the
ever-varying atmospherical con
dition allow any storm to pur-
sue a uniform average course

How to Increase Circulation.

appreciate those advantages
which are clearly expressed in
the last five words of the arti-
Gle: El..l"a Gaa I'D. .EH-H
Newspaper publishers spend
a great deal of time in plan
ming and executing ways of
increasing their subscription
lists, and many different means
are adopted. Perhaps the
most popular Of all is the
premium plan, where as an in
ducement to read (or pay for)
a two dollar newspaper, a gun,
or clothes-wringer or picture is
given the subscriber. But a
distinguished Dutchess County
editor has struck a better plan
and before which the authors
of all other schemes must bow
their heads in grief. In the
generosity of his large and BE-
nevolent heart we believe he
has not obtained letters patent
for it, and as his well-known
modesty will prevent him from
publishing it in the columns of
his own large and interesting
paper, we will give it to the
newspaper world, confident
that all in studying it and fully
comprehending its details, will
at once eXclaim Eureka, and
adopt it as the last, best way
of all. E '" r.t
To carry this scheme into
successful operation, it is. not
necessary that much brain
should be wasted in the edito-
rial management of the paper,
as the subscribers rarely bother
themselves to take the paper
home, but that a clear head
and large stomach should be
given to its business manage
ment. The plan is as follows:
First go to some popular
place where refreshments for
men and beasts are dispensed,
and after asking the boys, ex-
patiate on the merits of your
paper, in a few Well-choSen
words, and wind up by propos-
ing a rattle, in which at least
ten shall join, with ten cents
ante, the editor to be one.
The one drawing the highest
number has the paper for a
year, the one who draws the
lowest treats the crowd, and
the editor pockets the stamps.
This is the plan complete, but
as we before said, it takes a
clear head aud large stomach
to make it a success, as with
out a clear head, the boys, if at
all smart, will manage 10 make
the editor draw the lowest
number, at least twice out Of
five times. and unless he has a
large stomach he will he OBJ.

Mr.. had taken into his
service, for general utility, a
poor lad, for whose spiritual
welfare he was, of course,
bound to look out. Desiring
one morning to put in practice
his benevolent intent, he cali
ed the boy TO his study, and
with visage of the gravest sort,
said: ''Sam, do you know you
are a sinner ?" EYES," falter-
ingly replied Sam. do you
know what will become of you
if you do not repent ?" Re-
ceiving no coherent reply, he
launched into repentance and
redemption, encouraged by
the evident impression made
by his words, and feeling no
small compunction the while
that he had SO long neglected a
''subject of grace" so promis-
ing. At last a vacant and
wandering look reused a sud-
den suspicion, to verify which
he inquired; '.Sam, what is a
sinner?" Imagine the situa-
ton when the "subiect OF

Home Talk to Girls. !,

Your every day toilet is part
of your character. A girl that
looks like a "fnry" or F'slovt n"
in the morning, is not to be
Irusted,G however finely she
may may look in tho evening.
No matter how humble your
room may be, there are eight
articles it should contain,
namely: .... .r,...r r.........
A mirror, washstand, soap,
towel, comb, hair, nail and
tooth brushes. These are just
as essential as your breakfast,
before which you should make
good use of them. Parents
who fail to provide their chill
dren with such appliances, not
only make a great mistake,
but commit a sin of omission.
Look tidy in the morning.
and after dinner work is over,
improve your toilet. Make it
a rule of your daily life TO
"dress mp" for the afternoon.
Your dress may or need not be
anything better than calico;
but with a ribbon or flower, or
some bitof ornament, you can
have an air of seIf-respect and
satisfaction that invariably
comes with being well dressed.
a girl with me SenSlOiiItleS
can not help feeling embarrass-r
ed and awkward in a ragged
and dirty dress, with her hair
unkempt, should a neighbor
come in. Moreover, your self
respect should demand the de-
cent apparelling of your body.
You should make it Il point TO
look as well as you can, even.
if you know nobody will see
you but yourself. aezsaHl 5ssa.
