EASY OF DIGESTION.

Doubtless no fruit is more easy of digestion and so healthful as the banana. It takes on an average only one hour and forty-five min utes' stay in the digestive organs, and is, believe, the only fruit in existence that re- quires such a Short time to do so; even ripe pears require more, and the proverbial ripe strawberry takes one hour longer. Hence, to the epicure, the above fruit, in my opinion, offers especial advantages, and when proper ly ripe forms delicacy that has few equals. Like that of the tomato, the enjoyment of the banana arises, though not to such great degree, from purely acquired taste, besides which the condition of the fruit should bo studied, since, if unripe or unsound, it is apt to be found rather nauseous, but when eaten in good condition it is exceedingly palatablo and rich.
 It is astonishing to find how rapidly, ea- pecially of late years, the banana has sprung into favor, hundreds of punches of this pretty fruit being put on the markets day after day through the season. Nutritious and healthful no wonder need be expressed at their increas- ing popularity and consumption, and in ver-- tication of the latter point we simply refer to the trade in bananas from Tenerife, which shows that its exportation from Grand Canary is considerably on the increase, and it is expected that it will soon become one of
 
 tion between Grand Canary and London is established. During one year from 40,0 900 to 5000 clusters of this fruit were shipped to Europe, averaging three shillings per cluster, Grand Canary alone contributing between 25, 900 and 5000 clusters. ...
 According to one authority, one pound of bananas contains more nutriment than three pounds of meal or as many pounds of pota- toes, while as a food it is in every senss superior to the wheaton bread. Although it grows spontaneously throughout the tropics, when cultivated its yield is prodigious, for an acre of ground planted with bananas will return as much food as thirty-three acres of wheat or over 100 acres of potatoes. 1t is not generally understood that Dalnanns-- fried, baked, or roasted--arc very appetizing, and that sliced J.ud placed in dish with alternate slices O. orange they male a most delicious dessert. In the West Indies, where they are grown in profusion, as elsewhere, they are much esteemed as food, and, being easily obtained nearly all the year round, ttey are justly looked upon as being great dainty by the natiyes-The Echo.

sass.,s LATEST VENTURE.
The Largest Hot Water Swin,-


ming .ank in the World.
MIR. shaw, propr etor of the Ho
Springs, has just completed his bi
! swimming tank and it IS now ready
for business.
The tank is the largest hot watel
tank in the world and is 60 feet il
length by "a wide and varying il
depth from three to nearly six feet
The Southern part, where the
bather enters, is the shallowest and
the depth gradually increases to
the other end SO that those who
feel disposed can take the plunge
from the diving board.
A large stream of water which
comes clear as crystal direct from
the Springs flows into one end and
at the other is the outlet which
keeps the water fresh.
The sides of the tank are built OF
wood and slope to the bottom which
will be covered several inches deep
with white sand. A railing runs
all around the bath and close to the
waters edge are supports for those
who cannot swim.
There are four dressing rooms at
the Southern end and in few days
these will be amply supplied with
bathing suits SO that parties of
both sex can enjoy a frolic in the
water when they feel disposed.
When a large party wish to Sc
cure the baths they can engage
them in advance and have the ex-
elusive use of them. The whole is
rooted in and fitted with sky-lights
and is an improvement on the old
)ne and much nearer the house.
The whole cost in the neighborhood

the Journal editor was a dissatisfied
candidate.
1t says:
The Republicans of Nevada, az
the outcome of their action at tn,
Winnemucca Convention, have pre-
scented their platform and candi-
dates to the members Of the party
and the people of Nevada, and it is
now The duty of Republicans to
give hearty and unwavering sup
port to both. This is a Presiden-
tial year. and the contest is to be
determined whether the intelligence
and progressiveness OF the times
shall be more greatly advanced in
the history of America in the years
to come, or whether the evils of the
past and the dissatisfaction OF the
, present shall continue to retard the
general welfare of the public affairs
of the nation. No other political
party in this country ever equalled
the sublime principles and practices
of the Republican party. 1t is GER
tain that the splendors OF the past
will be surpassed in the future
should the people restore the Re-
publican party to power. Its Sue
cess is the hope of the future to all
who believe that good government
is the end and aim OF a patriotic,
intelligent, progressive and just
combination Of the elements that
can wisely administer public affairs
for the benefit OF the people. The
Republican party has always DEM
onstrated its capacity to properly !
solve the great financial and econ
omic problems of the day. Its |
work forms the brightest pages in |
American history, and it is best
that il should be entrusted with the
helm with the years to come, Ne
vada Republicans should enter the
contest with the determination to
uphold the principles OF their faith,
and the ballot box be the best evil
dence OF their professions. Every
man should stand firm, and not be
swerved from his duty by ingen-
ious sophistries of the enemies OF
his faith. The nominees Of the
deserve to be elected
and by rousing majority. Judge
Murphy is "a man in whom there is
much to admire. He is square,
honest and just, and will do right
1t all times and under all circum-
stances. Mistakes may be made,
put no man whose cause is just need
nave any fear for Murphy. Those
,nly who are afraid of the law, and
Who are in the wrong, need fear
Jim as a Judge. Mr.. Bartine will
make an excellent Member of Con-

his State the full benefit OF a well

ar with the wants OF tins State,
md will attend to them. He fought

will fight for it in time OF peace.

Home Revolt Against Harrison.

Evansville is the first numerical
and manufacturing city of the great
State of Indiana, the State which is
the home Of tlfe Honorable Benjamin
Harrison, Republican nominee for the
Presidency of the United States. Yet
in this city Of such vast Importance.
the Republicans, with very, very few
exceptions, are utterly disguised at
the action of the Chicago convention.
Every man in this community knows
that the Bulletin is us true to Repub-
lican principles as it is possible for
any paper in the world to be. Those
principles we love and honor, and
hope TO sec prevail, Notwithstanding
the fact that the Republican candi-
date for the Presidency has proved
himself, by his record on the Chinese
question, to be an enemy to American
labor and opposed TO liberal views by
his fanaticism on the temperance ques'
ton. On all hands and among all
classes of Republicans, VIC hear OF
their determination not to support
Harrison, and it is well for Republic
cans all over the Union TO understand
once for all, that Evansville, the first
city of manufacturing Importance in
Harrison's own State, has no earthly
use for him and viii not give him it,
Republican support.-Evansville Bull
