thrown on it. 1t stubbornly resisted all ef-

first story was used for the carriages and
horses, the upper for the hay and other feed.
When the fire was quenched the roof OF the

The fruits and vegetables i'll Colombia
are delicious and grow without culture or
care. The plantain is III universal use
and is always served as vegetable 1t is
fried and boiled when the skin is yellow,
when it is known as green plantain,
and when it is black and the fruit is con-
sidered thoroughly ripe. The banana is
never fried iu the tropics, but is always
served as fruit. There are many varie-
ties of banana. One of the most de-
licious species in flavor and fragrance is
the little fig or guineo banana, which is
scarcely finger In length. The red ba.
mana is not different species, but a va
riety produced by grating at Baracoa,
Spain. All the bananas in Colombia are
yellow. The caruba, or passion flower

thusiastic traveller "the spiritualizcd

licious fruits which never reach our north
