Recently the Union Hill Board of
Council adopted an ordinance in re-
gard to the selling at wholesale of
wines and liquors within the town
limits. The ordinance makes it a mis-
demeanor for a liquor dealer to take
orders from saloon keepers and deliver
the liquors. There are very many sa-
looms on Union Hill, and the majority
Of them have been supplied with liq
uors in this manner for years. Many
of the saloon keepers are unable to
purchase by the barrel, and are forced
to buy by the gallon. In order that
the ordinance might be made effective
the Council assigned Policeman Smith

AN AGE OF PORTRAITS.
History VIII BE Easily Traced by th,

History VIII BE Easily Traced by tho
Present Rage for Illustrations.
There never before was a time in the
history of the world when the making
of portraits was so much in fashion as
at the present. The ease with which,
by the aid of the innumerable photo
graphic processes, a portrait may be
produced has of course done much to
foster the custom, and the fondness of
the readers-or at least of the publish
ers-of the present generation for biog-
raphy has also encouraged the making
of pictures of the people written about.
There has at the same time been 5ome-
thing that might be called a revival of
the ancestral portrait craze, and every
body who could compass it has felt
obliged to do what he could to provide
his descendants with set OF portraits
of their ancestors.
The illustrated papers and magazines.
too, have done much to increase the
number of portraits. The picture of
prominent man is at once the most obvi-
GUS and one of the most easily man.
aged illustrations that can be found
and for the past twenty years these
periodicals have been increasingly full
of this sort of work. The pictures have,
of course, been of all sorts and kinds,
and from the gray and slovenly pro-
cess plate to the finely executed en-
craving or etching, and they have been
full of all degrees of nearness or remote
ness in the matter of likeness, but if
any body has failed to have clear
idea of che personal appearance of any
public character it has not been from
lack of copies of his counterfeit pre-
sentiment.
this state of things become one of the
easiest and most satisfactory of all the
innumerable varieties of collecting that
has yet been invented. One is able,
with SO little trouble and at so small
an expense, to bring together col
lection of portraits that are really in
teresting and not wholly uninstructive,
that it is pleasant and not very ardu-
Gus form of amusement. They may be
arranged in SO many different ways,
moreover, that one may at any time go
to work and introduce into his collec-
tion an entirely fresh system of classi-
fcation, and nothing adds to the dig
nifty of such pursuit like reclassifca-
tion, with its sound of real profundity
and acute investigation. He who finds
time hang heavy on his hands and the
illustrated papers and magazines ac-
cumulating in his attic, is very foolish
and unmindful of his resources OF
amusement If he does not set himself
to make collection of portraits. --Bos-
ton Courier.

a Great Railroad.

Not long ago Mr.. George H. Daniels, the
general passenger agent of the New York
Central d Hudson River Railroad, IN ex-
tending an invitation to foreigners to visit
this country, directed their attention to
the fact that the United States of
America is the greatest country on
earth, peopled with sixty. million of the
most civilized and enterprising people on
the globe; that the New York Central
Railroad is the greatest railroad on
earth-the only four-track road in the
world; that it started from the largest city
on the continent, passed through the rich
est and most prosperous region, touching
the largest cities in the interior; is the
great trunk line and direct route to that
great cataract, Niagara Falls, and that in
all respects it reveals more of the resources
and riches of America in less time, with
more safety and under more luxurious con-
ditionS than any other route. tThere
Is much in the above not only for
foreigners, who want to see this country
under favorable conditions, but for our own
restless and moving people. The New
York Central q Hudson River Railroad is
the outgrowth of n luxurious and prosper
GUS civilization and one of its greatest en-
gineerng triumphs. As is well known it
is the only line from the west to New York
that lands its passengers in that city
without ferrying them across the North
River. Its spacious and magnificent
station in the heart of the city has
been for years not only the pride of
New York, but a lasting monument TO the
foresighted liberality and enterprise of that
great organizer and founder of the New
York Central & Hudson River Railroad sys-
TEN, Commodore Vanderbilt. The limited
trains of this line are the finest in the
world, and its general accommodations for
the travelling public are only known and ap-
preciated by that large portion of it who
have been over the line and enjoyed them.

what It Costs . Publishing House TO
Have It's Manuscripts Read.
What does II cost you year to have
your manuscripts readp" asked one
OF our largest publishers. WELL" was
his answer, lit is a very large sum, so
large that II / named 1t the public
would not credit It. Let me give you
a single instance OF what occurred re-
Gently. The manuscript Of novel by
an author of whom we have book on
our list came in about two months ago.
1t was sent to one of our readers, and
the report made upon it was such that
we considered it wise to send it out to
second reader. In week IL came back
again with the result of the second
reading. This a~jtic coincided in q
measure with the opinion of the first,
yet neither report was decided enough
in favor of the work to induce us to ac-
cept the novel for publication. From
the reports we saw that there was
something in the book-the difference
in the opinions of the critics was upon
u technical point, yet it largely affected
the whole work. 1t was sent out
again. and then, taking the three
reports before me, | read the manu-
script myself. spent two evenings on
it, and finally declined it. That
was manuscript of six hundred
pages, and the expense of three read
ings by accepted critics, whose time is
valuable, is considerable. And this is
not an uncommon instance. i tel you
the cost of manuscript reading in a
publishing business OF any size is a
large item, and one never taken into
account by those who are continually
crying about the profits of publishers.
We have five regular readers on our
salary list, and seven others who are at
our bidding at any time when we are
crowded. This year we have kept six
steadily employed. Sitdown and figure
out what you would charge to fead a
single manuscript novel of 600 pages,
on II reasonable basis multiply that by
about 200 or $50 and you will get n
fair idea of what it costs US to have our
fiction read, and, mind you, that is
only fiction. | am not now speaking
of works of history, theology, travel,
essay, adventure and juvenile books
which come to us by the hundreds dur
ing year TO have our manuscripts
read is one of the largest items in our
accounts, and yet it is an item never
thought of by the public. boston

The way to prevent soft shell eggs
is to feed food rich in lime. The grains
are deficient in that mineral. If you
feed too much grain you give too much

THE DELICIOUS BANANA.
A Few Interesting Facts Concerning That
WhOIeaome Eruit.

A Few Interesting Facts Concerning That
Wholesome Fruit.
A liking for bananas 10 taste that
must be cultivated in the majority OF
persons, and ten or twelve years ago
the average inhabitaut OF the northern
part Of this country had not been edu.
Gated up to the love for them.
Less than sixty years ago tomatoes,
now considered one Of the most delight
full Of table dishes when properly pre-
pared, were looked upon as unfit to eat,
many people claiming that they con-
tanned poisonous properties. But that
belief was soon proven to be unfounded,
and two years after two or three lead
ing sanitary and scientific magazines
came out with positive proof that they
were not only uniniurious but health
full and contain very nutritive proper
ties. The few gardeners who took the
risk of cultivating them in large guam
titles could not begin to supply the i'm
mense demand for them.
The experience with bananas, though
they have at no time been considered
as poisonous, is much the same as with
tomatoes. Not very many years ago
they were considered as unfit to eat,
mainly because it was supposed they
contained no nutritive properties and
were of about as much benefit to the
human system as so much cotton or
corncob. But that idea was rapidly
lispelled by scientists and this de-
licious fruit of the palm is now con-
sidered not only luscious but healthful
as we'll.
The banana is the most important of
tropical fruits and requires three or
four months to ripen. After the fruit
natures the plant withers and dries
up and from its base spring up off
shoots which may be transplanted.
Although most banana punches hang
down in maturity, a variety is found on
the Society islands whose very large
punches of deep orange-colored fruit
stand up erect, forming ornamental
rather than useful objects; for their
taste even when cooked is acrid and
disagreeable. The Brazilian banana
is tall, rising to height of fifteen or
even twenty feet and the fruit is vel
low and excellent. rather vinous in
flavor. The Chinese banana seldom
exceeds five feet in height, the leaves
being of a silver hue and the fruit
aromatic. The Tahitian banana is
similar to the Brazilian, but not so
tall, and the fruit is angular, yellow,
turning black when fully ripe, and the
flesh is salmon colored. or buff, and
slightly acid. A variety with a red
skin is brought from the West Indies,
and very small banana is found in
Africa and the East Indies.
In ninety-nine cases in a hundred
bananas are eaten raw with no flavor
ing. An excellent dish is made by
cutting the fruit into small slices and
using dressing of sugar and cream
or wine and orange juice. The amount
of nourishment is very great. and
Humboldt tested that the same land
which produces thousand pounds of
potatoes will yield 44,000 pounds of
bananas; a surface bearing wheat
enough to feed one man will, when
planted with bananas, feed twenty
five.-Albany IN. W Argus.
