BANANA FIBRE.


A recently received Queensland
paper contains an article ON the
above named product, the substance
of which seems TO us worth repro
ducing for the benefit of our readers.
An American journal is quoted as
authority for the statement that this
fibre is dividable into threads of
silken fneneSs, the length of which
Is determinable by the length of the
trunk Of the plant, and that in the
central parts Of that continent the
fibre is used with no preparation ex-
cept drying, for Shoe-strings, lariats,
and cords for all purposes. Expert
,nents have recently been made in
Queensland with the object of illus
trating how readily and successfully
the fibre which forms so great a
proportion of the trunk and leaves
Of the plant may be freed and
eleansed. Samples of the fibre so
prepared have been, on exhibition,
and are described by the paper re-
terred 10 IS being remarkable for
hneness, strength and length, 1t is
further claimed that under present
circumstances-in Queensland Of
course-the fibre which is now
wasted is the better part, CONNER
cially speaking, of the whole plant.
1t is calculated that the fibre would
be ten tunes more valuable than the
fruit If machinery were at hand to
prepare it for the market. II any
process can be brought into opera
ton by which the product of the
banana plant can be doubled in
value, TO say nothing of being in
creased manifold, a very substan-
tiaI addition viii be made to the
wealth Of these Islands.

IMPROVEMENT IL ROADS.

The opening up Of the country, the
I expansion Of its industries and the
making OF roads are three lines Of
7 enterprise that, in the natural order
Of events, keep close together. \
country without roads, under the
( conditions OF civilization, means q
country lying waste, We have had
. for many years past, all over these
islands, Whist, for want Of appropriate
names, we became accustomed to
term roads, But what roads, In
many cases, the road was little more
than sn ill-dsfned Streak-barely
sufficient to iadicate the way from
one locality 10 another. Large sums
Of money were voted by every legis
lature for roads on the different
islands, but the roads did not get the
money and the country did not get
the roads, A change has come over
the spirit Of the scene, We have
seen more real road making IN this
Kingdom during the past twelve
months or 50 than was witnessed by
the long suffering taxpayers for
many years previous This depart
ment Of the public service has been
radically reformed. New departures
IN road making are reported from
every part Of the Kingdom,
1t would be too much to expect,
however, that the neglect Of many
years can al be remedied in one.
Many localities are yet far behind,
but progress Is the word. and. al
though the people may be obliged TO
stumble over rough and rugged |
paths for some time TO come. they |
have at least 4 reasonable prospect Of |
something better IN the near future. |

THE RIGHTS OF NEUTRAL TRADERS.

i case Of supplying munitions of
war TO so-called insurgents, anala-
! gous to the Haytien case on which
we commented on Tuesday, seems to
have occurred lately in Samoa The
facts, as we understand them. are
these. An American trader there
imported 10000 cartridges for the
Mataafs party. The Germans who
side with Tamasese did their best by
/ protests and peaceable means to
| prevent their delivery, but were un-
able TO 90 so. there being Consul
! present to assert American rights.
Had the German ship Of war seized
the cartridges as contraband. there
would have been, in accordance with
the precedent furnished by the Hay
ten case. q clear foundation for 1
demand by the United States gov
ernment Of exemplary damages
This Is more clearly the case as the
Tsmasese government has not been
recognized by the United States. al

Even therefore If It had proclaimed
blockade, and were efectualIy Ell

have q right to ignore it.

SHE DROPPED HER POKER CHIPS.

An Accident That Caused Great Embarrnss.
ment to a Haughty Young Woman.
New York SUM-
One day last week beautiful and naughty
young woman in very stylish costume
walked up Fifth avenue. Past the Calu-
met, the New York and Union League
Clubs windows she swept with a swift,
regular movement, looking neither to the
right nor the left, and the only acknowledg-
ment that she gave of the attempts of the
clubmen to win her smiles was disdainful
curl of her thin beautiful lips. In one
hand she carried what looked like card
case. At the corner of Forty-third street
fat, red-faced little man, in hurry to
catch down-coming stage, brushed roughly
against her, He struck against the hand
in which was the supposed card case, and
the latter fell to the sidewalk. 1t burst
open and outrolled lot of small poker chips.
The young woman seemed in danger of an
attack of Mysteries, the little man blushed
and stammered his apology, while Union
League Club man came up in time to rescue
the cardcase and chips.
A smiling throng watched him pick up
the chips, put them deity back into the
case and hand them to their crestfallen
owner with most graceful bow, The young
woman barely acknowledged the kindness,
and went swifter down Forty-third street,
where she disappeared in a brown-stone
house.

A SABBATH-BREAKING BIRD.

Terrible Misfortunes in Store for Wicked
Little Jackdaw.
Irish Cor. Providence JournalJ
Up to this present hour of my life have
held firmly to the belief that birds, beasts
and insects all religiously keep Sunday, and
now, to my sorrow, am forced to open my
eyes to the sad fact that some of the lax OBJ
servances of these latter days are creeping
IN among the birds, and for, what other
purpose than the repairing and refurn1shing
of his nest does that jackdaw want the
tuft of hair he is so vigorously pulling out
of the strawberry cows back? Why does
she not flap him with her tail, and so bring
the old-time vengeance on the Sabbath
breaker? No, she just gives a lazy look
round, little intimation to the jackdaw
not to pull SO hard; he answers with a pert
"caw," finishes extracting just the lock of
hair he wants and flies off toward the
ruined summer-house, where, no doubt, he
has cozy nook.
But the nesting OF the Sabbath-breaker
will come to no good-mark my words,
The nest will be robbed; boys will cruelty
tear the screaming young ones from their
parents, from the free lite of tree and field
and long and happy flights through the
warm air of summer; they will be carried
to some poor cabin in narrow street, most
of them will perish miserably of hunger, or
of over-feeding. or of worry; of dogs and
children; the survivor will live on, wings
clipped, so that he may never know the
bliss of birds greatest joy; he will have
red rags on his legs and red crest burnt in
with hot seething wax on his head, and so
live on, mark of scorn to all free birds
the SON of the Ssbbath-breaking jackdaw.

taken it out of my power to display my
skill in salad-making, but now, if you are

So, with much merriment, he proceeded
with the manufacture of his omelet, Miriam
observing and assisting. When it was COM
plete We unanimously voted it the most de-
licious thing in the way of an omelet that
we had ever tasted. But Miriam sighed

GAVE TIE JUDGE A QUARTER.
A Beggur Takes Pity on Congressman and
Offers Him Money.
washington Letter.l


washington Letter.l
Congressman Houk, of Tennessee, is
wearing a new suit of clothes, The mere
statement OF the fact will not, probably
strike the people who have not the pleasure
of Judge Houk's acquaintance as one OF
much Importance or significance. But
Houk's every day friends know him better,
and unless they have seen him lately they
will hardly credit the news. The truth is
that he is man so careless in his attire and
so Indifferent to his personal appearance
that single new outward garment is an
event In Houk's life; the donning of an
entire new suit at once marks an epoch.
1t came about in this wise. The Judge was
walking in Pennsylvania avenue recently
with couple of Western friends, when he
was accosted by tramp whose raiment
might have been fashionable and new on
the day of Jackson's first Inauguration.
"'Scuse me, may interrupt you for a
moment? Will you give me the price of
q meal?"
Houk promptly replied: "I'm sorry,
boss, but can't help you. I've just been
trying to get the price of meal from these
gentlemen. haven't had a mouthful of
victuals to-day"
"well, say, pard, you look it," re-
sponded the tramp, as he sidled up to the
Congressman and looked him over. Here's
a quarter; you are worse off than am"
Judge Houk declined the proffered chari-
ty, but he suddenly decided that if his ap-
pearance was such as to excite the commits
Grafton and benevolence of Washington
tramp it was time for him to visit tailor,
and he lost no time in doing so. don't
vouch for this story, but "they say" that
Houk tells it on himself, and if so it's true,
for the sturdy East Tennesseean is as truth
full as he is both wise and witty.

Leopold Benary, an old New York physician,
prevents Louise Masarte, beautiful young
woman. from suiciding in the East river at
midnight. The woman says she has neither
friends, relatives nor money. and she is haunt
ed by the memory of her past. She resists the
doctors interference, but finally agrees to 60
to his home, where he engages to show her
better way out of her trouble or to release her
within an hour. There she tells the physician
that she has been guilty of a crime that cannot
be outlived. The physician tells her that ne
can, by means of an operation, obliterate her
memory of all past events; that mentally sne
will be as a newly-born babe. He offers to per-
form the operation, and with the aid OF his Sis
ter Josephine, educate her in her new life. She
accepts the offer, and the next morning the OPP
Grafton is successfully performed. The pnysi-
clan and his sister educate her. and introduce
her to their friends as their niece, Miriam.
Four years later the doctor is saved from the
blizzard by Henry Fairchild, a young sculptor,
DIR. Benary insists upon the sculptor remaining
at his house for the evening, and introduces his
niece Miriam. The sculptor recognizes, the
girl.
