WHAT To Do WITH THE TRAMPs.-In
every part of the Eastern and Middle
States, especially within walking distance
of our chief cities, the tramp is everywhere
male, and female, limp, lazy, insolent.
Every country road swarms with them,
and country people begin 10 look upon
them as an inevitable infliction, less dan
gerous when fed and sheltered than when
hungry and al large. Refuse them food,
and your hen roost pays the penalty; deny
them a bed in the barn, and they set it on
fire. They travel in gangs, and disperse 10
forage, levyiug contributions right and
len. Their vagrant life suits them aud,
miserable as they seem to be, no profler of
honest wages for honest work. will induce
them To leave the road. Every season
their number increases, and competition
only Increases their audAcily. Unless the
evil is differently dealt with, it will soon
become rs intolerabe as it was ia Pavaria.
Fix the penalty for begging at ten days
labor on the highways frr each olIense
there is no danger of failing demand for
that sort of labor for the next fifty years.
Give to every citizen the power TO make
arrests in cases Of vagrancy and for every
ten days labor by the party SO arrested,
credit the person making the arrest with
five days toward the working out OF his
road tax, For his labor, give the tramp
decent board and lodging, and from ten to
finy cents day as wages, according TO his
efficiency. Let such a law to be rigorous
ly executed, and in little while we should
have better roads and fewer tramps. The
honest seekers for work would suffer less
under such a system than they do now
when they are apt 10 be coniounded with
professional beggars, who are always in
search of job somewhere else. II Sc
riously in need of work and money, the
temporary tramp would simply have TO ap
ply TO the road master, who would never
be without employment to give and fifty
cents a day to pay for it. The work hun
ter would not be long in acquiring enough
to pay his way further or to support him
self until he found work In the neighbor-
hood. Farmers aud others in want of helT
would soon learn to resort 10 the road
gangs to pick their men, the volunteers be-
ing free 10 engage themselves at any time
those under arrest when their ten day.

WHAT LIGHTNING STROKE Is LIKB.--
Mr.. A. Castle, whose experience in being
struck by lightning we alluded 10 last
week, has told us all about it, and we are
content to lake his word for il. As the
storm came up he put his team in the barn
and sat down in the door facing the inside.
The stroke of Lightning which killed his
horses and prostrated him, did its work
too swiftly 10 give him the slightest warn
ing of its coming. His first remembrance
upon returning 10 consciousness was OF
hearing bis daughter, who had run down
from the house, about twenty-five rods
distant, exclaim, "Oh father is dead ~
Upon opening his eyes the whole air and
sky seemed 10 be in blaze. He also be-
came conscious of the most intense suffer-
ing, and especially in his lower limbs. He
says the pain was like that of burn, and
that he could not have suffered more for
the hour that followed il he had been held
in the flames. His wife and daughter, up
on seeing that he was still alive, desired to
remU\ C him TO The house, but he begged to
be lell where he was aud not be disturbed,
as he felt that he could live but few min

to be put to the needless torture of remo-
val. As he seemed to gain strength, how
ever, he was soon taken TO the house and
made rs comfortable as possible, but eight
or len hours elapsed before he was able TO
move either of The lower limbs. The left
hip and leg seemed TO be more affected
than the right, and the symptoms for
time indicated that the bone was injured.
But these have passed away, and onlya
slight lameness now remains. The right
lung has been very sore since the occur
renee. But this may have been caused by
an injury received in falling. The mark
of the lightning is apparent from the shoul-
ders 10 the calf of the right leg, in the shape
of broad, irregular strip from which the
skin was peeled off as ifit had been scald-

The Soda Fountain BOY.

lie was rinsing the glasses when the old
lady entered the store. II was hot weather,
and the soda fountain looked SO tempting
that she conquered her avarice and walked
over and told the boy that she would take
glass.
"Do you wish Cor fly in it?" he inquir-
cd in whisper.
"a fly! grashus! nor she replied, a
look Of disgust on her face.
"Just as you say, madam" he went on
as he drew some lemon syrup. people
are SO different in taste, you know. Some
object 10 flies and some don't. I'll mix
some pineapple syrup with this lemon,
and now will you have great deal of gas
and little water, or a great deal of water
and a little gasH"
"rm pretty thirsty" she said.
"Well, then you want more water than
gas, and there won't be SO much danger Of
an explosion"
"Explosion?" she queried.
"That was the word, madam. We have
had but few such accidents here this sum
mer, and truly hope that we may have no
more"
"Does soda wafer blow up folks?"
"That depends on the state OF their
health. Some people could stand here and
drink all day, while others might get the
glass tipped up this way, and boom they'd
go?"
"Busl?"
"Yes'm-Hy into a thousand pieces.
You never saw human being explode,
did you?
"Mercy, mol"
"Well, you don't have the least warning.
They may he laughing or talking, and all
at once the store is filled with false hair,
monogram garters, bustles, corsets, feet,
teeth, and rolled plate jewelry. 1t makes
great mass around here, and if we hadn't
three of the smartest negroes in town to
pick up and sweep out we'd have to shut
up the store for a whole afternoon after the
explosion"
He stood with The glass in his hand agi-
tating the syrup and waiting, and she
said:
"I didn't suppose it was dangerous
stuff"
''Well as I told you, it depends on the
state ofthe system. Ifyour liver is torpid
and your digestion impaired, one glass OF
soda water would blow You higher than
Gilderoy's kite, and the coroner would be
lucky 10 find as much as your spectacles to
hold an inquest on. If your system is all
right you might drink a hundred glasses
and feel no disastrous effects. Now, then,
you'll have a good deal of water and but
little gas, e" "
She made a deprecatory motion, and
asked;
"How's the stuff nader"
swell, can't go on and explain all the
process. There's marble-dust, acid, gas,
sugar-coated pills, giant powder, cologne
water and kerosene all mixed together and
thea distilled. The distilled liquid is
placed in retort, where chemical action
separates it, and the gas forces it up sep
arate pipes"
"Kerosene and pills - she gasped.

About bananas.

Few people who see bananas hanging in
fruit stores think of them as more than a
tropical luxury. In fact they are a staple
article of food in some parts of the world,
and, according to Humboldt, an acre in
bananas will produce as much food for
man as twenty-five acres of wheat. 1t is
the ease with which bananas are grown
which is the great obstacle 10 civilization
in some tropical countries. It is so easy to
get living without work that no effort
will be made, and the men become lazy
and intolerably shiltless. All that Is need
ed is to stick cutting in the ground. 1t
will rpen its fruit in twelve to thirteen
months, without further care, each plant
having rs to 125 bananas, and when that
dies down after fruiting, 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.
Whltner, near Silver Lake, Florida, has
probably the largest banana plantation in
the United States, containing fully ten
thousand plants in bearing. Some of these
are large trees, which do not die amer bear
ing 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 disclo-
sing six or eight small bananas behind this
protection. Some plants will have sixteen
or twenty leaves and branches of fruit,
bending over as ii ripens, forming most
beautiful sight. The culture of bananas is
very profitable, and with the unlimited ca
pacity of Florida and the West India is
lands for producing it, there should always
be supply equal to any possible demand.
