Tine Deadwood Times has the follow
ing, Of interest to teachers oftbis county:
AT a recent meeting Of the Lawrence
county Teachers institute, a resolution
was adopted looking to the organization
of an association Of Black Hills teachers.
Such movement is rendered necessary
by the remoteness of this locality from

OILS, who initiated the movement, has
since the institute been very active,
opening correspondence with all teach
ers and and others engaged in educat-
ional work, and is in daily receipt Of en-
coursging letters from various localities.

on a definite time. ere long, for your
association, please let me know about it,

The Deadwood Pioneer rises TO say,
that Sam SCOTS pamphlet, entitled
The Black Hills" is good, in its way,
but its usefulness is somewhat curtailed
by claiming too much for Rapid. The
Pioneer should not lose sight of the fact
that the pamphlet was raid for by, and
gotten up wholly in the interest of
Rapid people. and that there is no valid
reason why that publication should not
be gotten up on the Deadwood plan.

RIPENING BANANAS.
Gas Makes the Only Heat That Will Take
the Place of Nature.

Few people outside of those directly
interested in the fruit business know
exactly how the large quantities OF
bananas which come to Boston are cared
for by the dealers. Two or three large
steamer loads of the yellow fruit come
to Boston weekly. When they arrive
about nine-tenths of the punches are
perfectly green. In fact, all of them
were green when they LEFT Jamaica, the
yellow ones having ripened on the pas
sage up.
The green punches have to be handled
and ripened with great care, and it was
for the purpos of seeing this done that
the writer visited one of the Oldest
fruit and produce commission houses in
the city.
"You see," said member of the firm,
''bananas are divided into four classes
or grades, the finest punches being
known to the trade as golden wells.
These are the very best fruit grown,
and in cargo of say $1,000 punches
there will be only from 200 to 400
punches OF golden wells Next to those
come NO. L, IueH COlne eISllG udnuS, anu
the small punches are styled No. 2's
and are the cheapest. These are the
kind that are sold by street hawkers.
"The moment we receive out fruit we
hang the punches up in our hot room. y
He then led the way to his fruit ripen.
ing room, which is double-decker, an.
is built into the left wall of the store.
"These two rooms are heated by gas, y
he continued, and the temperature is
kept at about seventy. There is no heat
that will perfectly ripen bananas o,
other fruit but that from gas. We have
tried every thing else, and we found
that all but the gas shriveled the fruit
ripened it too quickly, or ripened it UNI
evenly; therefore, everybody in the
| business now uses gas"
''This heat-ripening process is, O.
course, only for the winter time, for al
soon as the weather begins to get milo
we take away the gas heat, allowing tho
| fruit to ripen in natural manner, ant
when the hotter months are reached We
are obliged to hang up our fruit in the
| cellar. "--Boston Globe.
