Something About Bananas.


1t is astonishing how little is known
of bananas, considering the extent to
which they are eaten. New York gets
every week an average of 10000
punches. From Floridap Not single
one. Why, Florida only raises enough
bananas for home consumption. All
these yellow ones we get from Central
America, principally from Aspinwall.
Those big, fat, red fellows are from
Cuba. Plantainsp Oh, no, that's q
general mistake. Plaintains are only
edible when cooked; they are more
vegetable than fruit. You didn't Know
there were 100 distinct varieties of BAN
anas, did youp The fruit comes to us
quite green, but in the Summer will
ripen in one or two days. Cool weather
compels us to use artificial treatment,
and we hang them in close room and
apply heat. Now, that green bunch
will not be ripe under four days. With

A good story is told of the Bishop of
Atlanta, Ga He recently addressed a
large assembly of Sunday-school chill
dren, and wound up by asking in a
very paternal and condescending way:
'.And now. is there a-a-n-y little boy
or a-a-n-y little girl who would like to
ask me a question: After pause he
repeated the question. as there a-a-n-y

would like to ask me question:" A
little shrill voice called out, ''Please

Old Fort Washii gton, on the Po-

has his family with him, and lives in
the old UNCOVERED house, surrounded
with broad verandas, that was at one
time occupied by the commanding
officer of the fort. Fort Washington is
one of the oldest defenses in the United
States. The work of constructing it
was commenced in 1903 from the plans
prepared by one of General Lafayette 8
engineer staff officers, under the per-
sonal supervision of General Washing
ton. The structure was not completed
until after the war of 1912, and even
after that date many improvements
were made. After the completion of
the fort it was regarded as one of the
strongest and most impregnable de-
lenses in the world. General Lafay-
cite visited the spot during his second
visit to this country. After tour of
inspection through the underground
chambers and outside rifle pits, he
turned to the commanding officer and
remarked. This is the Gibraltar OF

Suicides.

The increase in the number OF
suicides Is a matter that has occupied
the attention of social scientists and
leading thinkers, to considerable ex-
tent of late. Pick up am one of the
daily papers which contain the history
of a day and in the telegraph and
local columns, will be found the
announcement of from two TO five
suicides. These news items have
ceased to cause any great amount OF
comment, and they rarely; If ever,
startle the reading world. This is not
as it should be. The lack Of interest
in suicides is due, in great measure,
to the stereotyped methods employed.
Editors and readers of newspapers
have some rights which. it seems to
us, even suicides are bound to respect.
Persons contemplating suicide should
take some novel and startling means
to sever their connection with this
mundane sphere. A few have had
forethought enough to attend to this
matter, but there appears to be grow
ing apathy on the part of suicides
which is painful to contemplate. This
is all wrong. Not every suicide can

structing an Internal machine for the
purpose of Fastening his exit into
eternity, but he or she can certainly
contrive to surround their sudden
demise with some little romance, and
thus make glad the heart of the local
reporter or correspondent. Mysterious
letters should always be written and
placed where they can be conveniently
found, and when possible, it is always
best to throw in a few lines of cipher.
This will give fresh reporters and
amateur dectives something to work
on. uc
Nearly every suicide has utilization
or rather preferences for either morn
ing or evening papers, and they should
time the probable discovery of their
death accordingly. A person who con-
templates self-slaughter, and who is
particularly friendly to the evening
papers, should attend to his little affair
in the forenoon-say between 10 and
IL o'clock-in order that the local
editor may get full details into tho
first edition. Those who prefer the
morning papers should never commit
suicide before 4:30 p. M, in order that
the afternoon papers may be ''scooped,"
to the great delight of the morning
paper. Persons of distinction should
arrange beforehand to have the associ-
ated press agent within telephone or
at least speaking relations. immediate
iy after the taking off--especially If
the taking off be conducted in a novel
manner.
Persons contemplating q speedy
change of residence should ponder on
these suggestions, and give them due
attention. News editors work hard,
and the public pants for novelty in the
suicide direction. Detroit CHAT.

the price averaged more than Cos.
The price of wheat now is very low,
but the Economist seems to be of the
opinion that there will he no increase
of Importance, while it is possible that
the average for the year 1884 will be
the lowest in the history of the trade,
The third quarter of the year has
opened with even lower averages than
those of the two preceding quarters,

Dictated. 1t thinks, though, that
Americans will be more willing to dis
pose of their wheat at ruling prices,
and will not fall into the grave error of
holding it back for higher prices. The
chief reason given for the reduced price
of wheat during the past year is that
the means Of communication nowadays
with those countries beyond Europe
where wheat can be cheaply grown
are so vastly increased and so much
less costly than they used to be. But
that wheat is cheaper in other parts of
the world than it was in years past, it
would be unwise to argue. 1t is quite
possible to have consumers paying less
and the original producers obtaining
more for a commodity, simply by eff
fecting a reduction in the intermediary
charges.
