Each Indian has his plot of corn, friioles.
and banana and plantain trees, and truly, as
a class, they need not work unless they are
so inclined. They are experts in managing
banana trees. A tree once started, its roots
spread in every direction. and the root is sand
to have hijos. SONS. because from many diff
ferent points on the original root will spring
up little banana trees. These the Indian
'afetully detaches from the man root, and
tue SON. being t~ransplanted i'll some favor
ahles spot, soon becomes the father of many
more, etc. A banana tree, from the time 1t
appears. requires twelve months to produce
Il bunch of fruit, and it bears but once.
When the bunch, which appears at the very
top of the tree, is fully developed. the In.
dian, using a sharp pointed stick, gradually
cuts through the trunka and heart of the tree
until tho weight of the bunch of bananas
draws the summit near enough to the ground
to permit gathering. this done. the tree Is
allowed to rot on tho ground. Cuttin.
through the tree with IL pointed stick is a,
slow process, but an Indian will never GU
down Il banana tree with his nacbele, 0
long steel knife, for a superstition exists thai
steel coming into contact with the sap of the
tree ruins the favor of the fruit to be gath

Many people reach the age of fifty or
sixty Or seventy, measurably free from
most of the pains and infirmities OF
age. cherry in heart and sound in
health, ripe in wisdom and experience,
with sympathies mellowed by age. and
with reasonable prospects and oppor-
tunities for continued usefulness in the
world for a considerable time. Let
such persons be thankful, but lot them
also be careful. An old constitution is

bends to the gale, an old one snaps
and falls before the blast. A single
hard lift. an hour of heating work. an
evening of exposure to rain or damp. q
severe chill. an excess of food, the
usual indulgence of an appetite or pas
sion. sudden fit of anger, an improper
dose of medicine. any of these or similar
things may cut off a valuable life in a.

The Dem oc-ntic Ticket.

PHILADELPHIA, May 2S.-The Times
to-day says the Democratic ticket to be
placed in nomination at the 81. Louis con-
yention will be: For President, Grover
Cleveland; for Vice-President Allen G..
Thurman Of Ohio.
Thurman has consented to allow his
name to be presented, and the nomination
has been rendered him with the full know
ledge and appreciation of leading men of
the party through the country.
Congressman Sam Randall said yester
day: Ex-senator Thurman will undoubt
edly be the nominee for the Vice Presi.
dency. He is agreed upon by everybody,
Is willing to accept the nomination and Is
the best and strongest man that could be
placed on the ticket"
The mention of Thurman's name, 1t Is
believed, will lead to the result of there be-
Ing but two ballots taken in the National
convention, the first for President and the
second for Vice-President.
The south has no candidate for Vice
President, but will support New York's
choice, which will be Thurman. Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio will join hands with New
York, and that will be enough to sominate.
With Thurman on the ticket the Democrats
will feel perfectly safe about Indiana and
will expect to keep the Republicans busy
preventing him from running away wit
Ohio.

The Philadelphia Times vouches for
the accuracy of the statement that at a
recent afternoon tea one fair maiden

the other girls walked about a

tractive creature remained in her
chair.

when the observer is on a level with
