the latter divorces itself from the salt with

marvellous as The witcheries wrought by the

an ice storm, chandeliered with diamonds
and radiant with prismatic light; the rocks

of vapor lace that beautify the dead sedges

The banana is fruit that is fast gaining
favor and is now one Of the most popular
in the market. Few people. however, know
how those sold from the small handcarts
are ripened. This business is almost eX-
clusivcly in the hands of Italians, who buy
the punches when they are green, as they
are cheaper when in that condition than
after they have been ripened by time. The
purchaser then proceeds to apply the fore
ing process. The bananas are cut from the
central stem and laid in layers on a mat
tress. A blanket is then thrown over them.
and the owner makes this his couch.
\ man with a large and cOrpulent family
has distinct advantage over his rivals in
trade, as he can hatch out great many
more ripe bananas from the green fruit
than one who has only himself to depend
on. The process is much more rapid than
the usual method of allowing the fruit to
hang until it is in proper condition.
When sales are brisk I have known Italians
to keep their families in bed all day, ripen-
ing their stock in trade. Some experts
claim to be able TO tell by the odor whether
fruit has been ripened by Italians, but this
has always appeared to me to be without adj
equate proof.-St Louis Globe-Demoerat
