Bananas.

Few people who see bananas hanging in
fruit stores think Of them as more than a
tropical Injury. In fact they are staple
article of food in some parts of the world,
and, according to Humboldt, an acre in
bananas will produce as much food for one
man as twenty-five acres Of wheat. 1t is
the ease with which bananas are grown
which is the great obstacle to civilization
in some tropical countries. 1t is so easy
to get living without work that no effort
viii ever be made, and the men become
lazy and intolerably shiftless All that is
needed is to stick cutting in the ground.
1t win ripen its fruit in twelve to thirteen
months, without further care, each plant
having 75 to l25 barnnas and when that
dies down after fruitihg, new shoots spring
up to take its place. In regions where no
frost ever reaches, bananas are found in
all stages Of growth, ripening their fruit
every month and every day in the year.
Col. Whitner, near Silver Lake, Florida,
has probably the largest banana plantation
in the United States, containing fully ten
thousand plants bearing. Some of these
are large trees, which do not die after
bearing their fruit, but the majority are
Of the dwarf species, which are renewed
every year. Slips are planted about eight
feet apart and rapidly push up leaves dis
closing six or eight small bananas behind
this protection. Some plants viii have
sixteen or twenty leaves and branches of
fruit, bending over as it ripens, forming
most beautiful sight. The culture Of ba-
nanas is very profitable, and with the un
limited capacity Of Florida and the West
India islands for producing It, there should
always be supply equal to any possible
demand.--ewal Neso Korker.

II has been proved that the whole
Pacific coast, especially California, witt
all its mountains, is perpetualIy rising
and that at comparatively rapid rate
The land containing in its bosom oui
great American lakes il slowly sinking
while southern Indiana, Kentucky, and
the surrounding States are rising. Geo
logical investigations prove that our great
lakes, except Ontario, had formerly a
southern outle: until, by gradual northern
depressions and southern upheayals, a
northern outlet was formed from Lake
Erie into Ontario, about 1000 years ago
This outlet, the Niagara river, is still
wearing away its channel. The division
line Of the watershed south Of the lakes
and the Mississippi valley, has since that
time been steadily travelling southwark /;
and when Chicago recently turned the
waters of Lake Michigan, through the
Chicago river, into the Mississippi valley,
the old state Of affairs was ortifcially re-
established
New Jersey is sinking, with New York
city and Long Island, at the estimated
rate Of about I6 inches per century. The
coast Of Texas is ascending at compare
lively very rapid rate, some observers
stating that it is as much as 30 or 40 feet in
the last half century.
Combining these observations with the
results of the recent deep soundings Of the
United States steamer Tuscarora in the
Pacific Ocean, we 6nd that the bed is
evidently sunken continent, abounding
in volcanic mountains some 10000 feet
high, many Of them not reaching the
surface of the ocean, and Others which do
so by forming the numberless islands Of
the Pacific. The study of the coral rocks
proves that this sinking has continually
been taking place during several centuries,
and observations Of the coast will un-
doubtedly reveal the fact that il has not
yet ceased.
The most eminent German geologists
and ethnologists now maintain that the
locality of mans primitive origin, the seat
of the so-called Paradise, was in the Pa
cifc Ocean south Of Asia, whence the race
slowly diffuscd itself northward to Asia,
westward to Africa, aud eastward to Aus
tralia. When the great Pacific continent
slowly sank SO that the ocean commenced
filing the valleys, men retreated to the
mountains, which, by continued sinking,
were transformed into islands, and now
form the many groups of Polynesia. The
iusularity Of thus preserved races was now
productive Of civilization, which requires
conflict, in which the superiors in the end
gain the victory over the interiors. In
those islands, the inferior races we're pre-
served for want Of this conflict, hence their
savage condition even at the present day
while primitively the greatest advance took
place at the spot Of the most intense con-
fict, the continent of Southern ASIA

Rest as a Renovation.

Blessings on the man" says Sancho
Panza, 'who first invented Sleep" Pro-
badly sleep came upon the first man rather
as an unconscious fulflment of the order
of his being than as discovery sought
out and invented. Every mother and
every nurse knows that sleep, instead of
being welcomed, is contumaciously resisted
by the little child, for anticipating the
character Of manhood and womanhood,
babies commenced life by crying protests
against the conditions of existence The
chief and indispensable requisite to long
and healthy life is rest, and the indication
Of its need is fatigue, just as certainly as
hunger prompts eating and thirst suggests
drinking Among the courses fallaciously
considered improvements on state Of ma
ture is that resistance against rest which
the feverish demands ofsociety impose upon
everybody. To go without food or drink
would be quite as rational as to dispense
with sleep and rest. Nobody thinks Of
abstinence from food, however, though it
would be quite as sensible to see how long
one could 60 without eating as without
repose. On the contrary, food and drink
are drawn in as allies in the unnatural war
against quiet of mind and body; pressure
on the brain and the stomach is maintain
ed, that no part Of the system may escape
fatigue. The human constitution, in all
its parts and functions, is forced into un-
natural and wasting excitement.
II is an unweary world. And what
then2 It's a hungry world, too, and hun
ger finds relief in food. SO should unrest
find its relief in repose, and repose should
be sought as resolutely as hungry man
seeks his dinner. We can no more exist
without rest than without food. Why not
remember the nightly recurring commem-
grafton of primal institution and the seven
days interval, whose antiquity is proved
by the mystical traditions concerning the
number seven; traditions, the date Of
which no man can FIX. 0ne-seventh Of
mans working time is consecratsd to rest,
both by religious and natural sanction. 1t
is overworked mans privilege, and he, Of
course, will claim it. These are matters
to be thought of by those who are seeking
"rest" and Incorporation" by rushing about
over the railroads and among summer re-
sorts, indulging in card parties, wine par
ties, chops" and other inventions for
keeping late hours, as il the whole design
of the summer holiday is to crowd as
much fatigue as possible into their season
of arest."

Destroying weeds.

July and August, says the Rural Nep
Yorker, are probably the best months in
the year for destroying weeds. The sum
mer heats are at their ferccst and all
annual weeds cut down at the root speedily
wither and die. The tougher perennials
have made their growth for the season and
have nearly perfected their seed. The
root then has least vitality, and if the top
be cut of a feebler effort is made to repro
duce it, especially if the weeds grow in a
tough sod or grass. We have known
frequent mowings Of thistles in sod to re
duee the vitality Of the patch 50 much
that it would produce only here and there
a stalk until the field was ploughed again.
In the growing corn August is, of all
months, the time to destroy Canadian this.
ties and quack. Keep the plant down as
much as possible early in the season, then,
as the corn begins to tassel out, go through
with a light hoe and cut every spear Of
thistle and pull up every blade Of quack
with all the root that can be got attached.
The quaek should be put in heaps and
burned, but the thistle roots viii seldom
if ever start again, and pulling up at this
season Of the year, or even cutting Of, Is
final and certain destruction. The cost Of
doing this is mot large, varying with prices
Of labor and abundance of weeds; but We
are satisfied that it is always { profitable
operation on all land foul with thistlss.
We have repeatedly had the cost more
than repaid not only in the corn crop, but
in the succeeding oats and barley, besides
leaving the land cleaner for years here
after.
