HOW TO EAT BANANAS.

Ordinarily in this country bananas are
eaten raw, says the american analyst, but
in tropical countries, while the natives
eat them in like fashion, more delicate
and, it is said, a more healthy mode of
eating them is in vogue. The soft, ripe
fruit, eaten to a cream with a sufiiciency
of Amontillado sherry, forms n delight
ful appetizer, and is the favorite way Of
eating the banana in certain parts of the
West Indies and of the African cOaSt.
Taken in moderation at first rising in the
morning, bananas are said to be preser-
vative of health, and in this respect arc
in marked contrast with other tropical
fruits, which are detrimental, rather than
otherwise, to continued good health. An
intoxicating drink is made from the ba-
mana. and on account of its astringent
qualities is of considerable medical value.
In Africa, and probably in other places
also, the banana and the kindred tree,
the plantain, are in very large measure
the sole dependence for the food sup
ply of natives. The banana, when
ripe, contains "A per cent. water; OF
the 26 remaining parts, 20 are sugar and
two gluten or tlesh-forming substance.
1t is not in itself a perfect food, but re-
quires the addition of some other nitro
genous material, as lean meat. The pull
of the banana, but more often of the plan
tain, is ofttimes squeezed through a sieve
and formed into loaves, which when ripe,
will keep very long time. In dried
state it has the resemblance of bread
both in taste and composition, but the
ripencd pulp is saccharine, and not farm
| aceous. At Panama the rarest and mos
delicious of the banana species has it:

The HalfMoOu of the Finger Nail.

The half-moon of the finger nail which
is esteemed so great beauty, if carefully
attended to, will increase in time, and
even where it has been almost obliterated,
will grow to be very beautiful. Many
people think that pushing the skin back
from the nail will show it more, and that
by this practice the delicate hem, as we
call it, which holds the upper and under
skins together, is totally destroyed, and
the ends of the fingers have an ugly yell
low growth encircling the nail instead of
the delicate framework which nature in
tended Then the way in which the nail
is cut can totally change the shape of the
fingers. By cutting the nails close at
the sides and keeping the corners from
adhering to the skin, hang-nails can be
avoided. Where the nails are thin and
inclined to break, frequent oiling is nee
essary, and the nails should never be
polished except when some oily substance
is used beside the powder. This keeps
the nails more pliable, and no matter how
thin they are, if properly treated, they
are no more liable to break than richer
ones. Another thing that is bad for the
nails is polishing them too roughly.
They should be lightly touched and not
rubbed until they become heated. This
is one cause of white spots coming on the
nail and marring its beauty, ,-Hedica

irrigation i'm Dakota.

The United States Senate Irrigation
Committee, of which Senator Stewart OF
Nevada is Chairman, held a session at
Sioux Falls, Dakota, in which statements
were submitted by gentlemen interested
in irrigation. The principal speaker was
Professor Lewis Maclouth, President OF
the South Dakota Agricultural College
at BroOkings.
There were hundreds of artesian wells,
he said, in the valley of the James River,
each including large flow of water from
an average depth of 1000 feet. The
power thus obtained was now utilized to
run steam presses, electric-light dynamos,
mills and factories. An inexhaustible
supply of water and of water power could
therefore be had in this valley by an in
crease in the number of artesian wells
Some of the wells already flowing gave
out 1000 gallons minute. If the yearly
dow of those wells could be saved and
stored in reservoirs, to be used as needed,
so as to supply in the growing season the
deficiency in the natural rainfall, it would
add enormously to the development OF
agriculture and turn t he entire James
River Valley into a luXuriant garden.
One thousand such wells, Professor Mac,
louth says, would add S400, 900, 900 to
the value of the land in that region.
/ The committee saw the working of an
artesian well that supplies water and wa,
ter power to this city. Four large hose
pipes were connected with the street
| hydrants, and threw into the air stream
of water eighty feet high.-Me,0 York

A FouR-LEAF CLOVER.

Lying 'twixt the musty pages
OF book with time-worn cover,
Mingling with the thoughts of sages,
Is a spray Of four-leaf clover
Years have not effaced its tinting,
And mayhap its mystic powers
Are as when the sunlight glinting,
Gave it life in summer hours.
Did the hand of some fair maiden,
Dancing in loves giddy mazes,
Pluck thee whilst the breezes laden,
Whispered of the envious daisies?
All, Z may be some woman broken,
Grieving DER life's empty measure
Grasped thee as living token
OF some fleeting, phantom pleasure.
Some one plucked thee in thy beauty,
Mystic fruit Of spring time olden,
Some one who in fields of duty,
Garners now in autumn golden.
Still the yellow sunlight cleaning,
Gilds the bloom where wild bees hover
Other loves mayhap are dreaming
Over sprays of living clover.

To Identify a Diamond.

A ready way Of identifying a diamond
is given by an expert Prick a needle
hole through a card and look at it through
the doubtful stone If it is spurious, two
holes will be seen distinctly on the card f;
if it is a diamond only one hole will be
visible, for there is no other stone at all
resembling the diamond but that gives
a double reflection. This property is also
made use of for determining an uncertain
stone. If the finger is placed behind it,
and looked at through the stone with a
magnifer, the grain of the skin will be
plainly visible if the stone is not a dia.
