The banana has long been regard
ed as extremely nutricious. 1t is
recommended above all other for in
valids who are unable to swallow
harder food. An estimate by Hum.
boldt claims that $4,000 pounds of
bananas can be produced on the soil
that would be required for 1000
pounds of potatoes, and that the
same area that would be required to
raise wheat enough for one man
would produce enough bananas to
feed twenty-five men.

DimpleT Made to Order.

That artificial dimples can be and are

to be an established fact, from the fol-

Learning that there was a place in

was shown into parlor somewhat
resembling dentist operating room.
There was a glass case full of bottles,
washes and wigs, and regular den
lists chair that suggested world of
comfort. To me presently came a
dapper little man in velvet cut-away
coat, and whose face wore complacent
smirk. l bashfully suggested the dim
pie question, and asked for some points.
| really wanted dimple in my arm,
and told him so. But | insinuated my
disbelief in his ability to produce the
necessary article. Whereupon he con-
WINGED me by practice. This is how it
is done My arm being bare, and the
exact spot indicated, he placed a small
glass tube, the orifice of which was eX-
tremely small, upon the spot. This
tube had working within it a piston,
| and was so small that when the handle
; was drawn up the air was exhausted
I from the tube and it adherd to the flesh,
RAISING a slight protubclence. Around
this raised portion the operator daintily
tied bit of scarlet silk, and then tool;
away his suction machine. The little
point of skin that was thus raised he
Sliced off with a wicked-looking knife,
bringing the blood. tried hard not
TO scream, but it was SO unexpected
that had | to. Then he bound up the
arm, placing over the wound small
silver object like an inverted cone, the
point of which was rounded and
polished. This little point was adjusted
SO as to depress the exact center of the
cut. Then he told me to 60 away and
not touch the spot until the next day.
When | came at that time he dressed
my arm again, and this operation was
repeated for five days, when the wound
was healed. The silver cone was re-
moved, and there sure enough beneath
it was the prettiest dimple in the
world And all l had to pay was $40

As the Wind Blows.

The wind blows north, the wind blows south,
The wind blows east and west;
No matter how the free wind blow.
Some ship will find it best;
Some one out on the wide, wide seq
Shouts with happy air,
"Ho! shipmates, ho set all the sails,
The wind is blowing fairl'
One ship sails out into the east.
Another to the west;
One has to struggle fierce and hard,
By the winds and waves oppressed,
Under bare masts, tossed to and fro
BY rain and salt spray wet;
The other flies before the gale
With all her white sails set.
40 wind, o wind, why dost thou blow,
And out to ocean roar,
When would steer my little bark
Toward some pleasant shore?
What honor will it be to thee
If down beneath the wave
My simple craft and shall find
A cold forgotten grave?"
40 foolish one why wilt thou steer
Against the mighty gale?
There are ten thousand ships ahoat
Besides thy tiny sail,
If thou wouldst float o Ter pleasant seas,
Oppose my will no more
When l blow shoreward, then do thou
Sail also to the shore.
"Yet,if thy will with mine must strive,
Do thou the best thou CAM
Against my might set all thy skill,
And fight me like man.
Keep 10y the wheel, steer steadily,
Keep watch above, below;
Such hearts will make the ports they seek,
No matter what winds blow"
