Exolntinn Of thu Banana.

In a garden in Church street, Charles
ton, is a very handsome group of ban
ana trees, upon one of which, and just
topping the fence, is a fine bunch of the
fruit in the process of development.
Three or four Of the upper rows of the
fruit are well advanced, while pendent
from the end of the stem are hangs the
gradually unfolding flower or blossom,
which Is of a dusky crimson color on the
outside, while on the inside of the leaves
the shade is of a light crimson. Under
each of these leaves lies a row of fruit
numbering from six to eight. This
shield or covering gradually rises, ex-
posing the layers of fruit to the sun and
air; they then fall off and give place to
the next.
The life of the tree, or more properly
the plant, ends with the production of
the fruit. AS it continues to mature the
tree begins to languish until the coming
of cool weather, when it dies off and
gives places to younger and numerous
shoots, which are thrown up in great
numbers from the bulblike root of the
tree.-Neu York Commercial Adoertiser.

Henry Ward Beecher's Widow.

Mrs. Ernice Beecher, widow of the
great pastor Of Plymouth Church, Brook
iyn, is living diagonally aoross the way
from the church her husbands ~eloqucnce
made famous. Her residence is a neat,
tasteful, wetl-kept house, where in every
nook and corner is some reminder OF the
great dead. Over her desk id the front
parlor where she writes is a life-slze
p:ature of Mr.. Beecher taken over thirty
years ago, and in whatever direction the
eye turns; east, west, north OF south,
from the walls of these roorns look down
life-size pictures of him in familiar sttl-
tudes in which he is remembered
Flowers and birds are features also. The
windows are bright with blossoms, and
the small yard is o bower OF bloom.
Boxes supported by brackets around the

fence are filed with plants in blossom,
and these brighten up the whole place.
Mrs. Beecher is by no means a gloomy
woman; there is no black or mourning
visible. Women many years younger
might covet the delicate bloom still on
her cheeks and the CHEEKY light in her
eyes and the pleasant words with which
she greets her friends. Only in moments
of depression from physical suffering,
with moist eyes, she has been heard to
say: "I do so miss Mr.. Beecher." One
of his views CD death had been as he ex-
pressed it: ssIf you have lost COM
p%anions, children, friends, you have not
lost them. They followed the Pilot.
They went through the airy channels
unknown and unsearchable, and they are
with the Lord; and you are going to
Him, too"
Perhaps isis this and kindred thoughts
that enable her to hold her way serenely
as she does, that leave with her d spirit
so bright, so sweetly sympathetic, that
the people of Plymouth Church regard
her with reverentiaI affection as 'sall that
is left them of Mr.. Beecher. "-Ohicag0

TIE CARE or f.AMna,

AT iamting time the pen should be
made extra warm and comfortable, as
lambs dropped during severe cold wealth
er Especially If Merinos or fine wools)
soon become chilled unless the room is
warm, or prompt attention is paid to
them by the attendant. Should the eve
fail to own her lamb, 1T is best to tie her
up in a separate stall or, better still,
partition off one corner Of the pen so that
she may not be shut away from the flock.
If the lamb becomes chilled it may be fed a
few tablespoonfuls of warm milk, mixed
with one-tenth part of brandy of whisky;
or, in the absence of these, a few drops
of Jamaica ginger or pain-killer may be
administered with the milk. This
treatment, with wrapping in a wooden
blanket and placing near the stove,
should soon restore the lamb to vigor.
If it is placed in the pen with Others, it
is a good plan to place upon the nose of
the mother d few drops of the same ma
terial that was mixed with the lambs
drink. This hint will often cause the

lamb, when otherwise trouble would be
experienced,
The first six hours of a lambs life is
the most critical time; hence many farm
ers will GO to the barn at midnight to
look after their flock, and it often pays
to do so, as a well-kept lamb is worth in
October not less than So. so, and often 81
is obtained for them. When a week old
lambs will begin to eat the leaves and
clover heads, and also the fine leaves of
timothy, cornstalks, etc. But clover is
their favorite. and should be given them
If possible. It not only adds growth,
but makes them strong and hearty.
No doubt some of the ewes viii be-
come thin in flesh. These, with their
lambs, should have a separate enclosure,
and be fed an extra ration of grain, plac-
ing the feed trough low enough SO that
that the lambs may also eat q portion of
it. Remember that to be successful in
lamb raising one needs healthy sheep,
good food, warm quarters and prompt
attention.-New Fork Examiner.

steamer from Genoa, bringing the bears
with them. Previously they had heard
dazzling tales of the fortunes to be made
In America by exhibitions of performing
bears, and how the natives, having more
money than they knew what to do with,
showered gold upon those who amused
them. The ~Savoyards had no sooner
landed than they prepared to gather the
first fruits of their harvest. The three
bears, after standing on their heads in a
row, had just begun to dance a clumsy
jig to the wild shouts of the natives.
when a man in a blue coat and waving a
heavy stick gave the party to understand,
bears and all, thae they must come with
him. The tin cups had not ever been
passed around for the money,
fare the bears in court?n asked the
magistrate, with mock solemnity.
At this there was a general roar of
laughter, and when it subsidized the Off
. said the bears had been put into a
stable on Barrow street, pending DISPOSE
tion Of the case. The old Sayoyard, in
his grating patois, began to eSclaim
against the outrage Of taking away his
bears and locking the party up in cold
cells all night. He thought it was q free
country, where the foreigner met with
kindness. As It wasn't, they would all
go elsewhere if the Judge would give
them the bears. His honor said that un
less the Savoyards had money sufficient
for their present wants he would be
obliged to ship them hack TO ItaIg. to.

wore bright-hued shawls over their heads,
and massive gold ornaments on their
ears. Four of the FIVE open-eyed chill
dren, who were small editions of their
fathers in features and dress, completed
this motley party. The magistrate STIR
veyed them with an amused smile, and,
turning to an officer, asked him what
was the charge against these people.
"Leading bears through the streets
without a permit, your honor, was the
reply, and everybody Uttered at the enor-
nifty of the offence.
"Don't you know" asked the justice,
with an affectation of s%ternness of the
oldest of the men, 'sthat you have no
business to turn the streets of this town
into a cireus2''
The prisoner addressed-he was a sa-
voyard-shook his head and then poured
forth a torrent of patois, gestlculating
wildly as he told the story Of his wrongs
in free America. Then there was a loud
demand for an interpreter, and while on
; was being found the seedy lawyer, who
had invited himself to defend the prison
ers, told the magistrate that the Savoy
ards, who had dropped into the city no
one knew how, were attempting to give
a performance with their bears on a West
street dock when arrested. Not one of
them could speak English. The lawyer
said their ignorance of the customs of
the country was a sufficient defense, and
he asked that they be allowed to go their
way without fine.
BY the time an interpreter had been
found in the person of ragpicker, whose
features still showed traces of a nights
debauch, for which he had paid into the
city treasury the sum Of SIS dollars as the
price of his entertainment on the flag
stones of cell. With many a vernacular
struggle he drew from the oldest Sa-
voyard the story of the band. They had

A Turnip Seeds Increase.

The seed of a globe turnip is exceed
ingly minute, not larger, perhaps, than
the twentieth pact of an inch in diame-

months, this seed will be elaborated by
the soil and the atmosphere into twenty
seven millions Of times its original bulk,
and this is in addition to a considerable
bunch Of leaves. DR.. Desaguliers has

VALUE OF SALT AS a FERTILIZER

VALUE OF SALT AS A FERTILIZER.
All plants contain more or less salt,
and the more of It as the soil is sufh.
ciently provided with it. Salt is neces:
jsary for the digestion of food, hence salt
is an indispensable element of plant
food. Grass and pasture are especially
benefited by it. Five hundred pounds
of cheap salt, sold for the purpose at
about So per ton, may be applied now
as soon as the grass starts growth;
Glover is equally benefited by it. Man
gels and other root crops should receive
from four hundred to six hundred
pounds per acre; cabbages, and especially
asparagus, need salt. Oats and wheat
are benefited by il, the effect of it being
to stiffen the straw and enlarge the
grain, giving it a clear, bright skin. The
salt has also a beneficial effect on the
soil by its chemical action.

Calculation on q Potato.

Did you ever calculate the value Of Q
single potato on the basis that that
single tuber was the only one left in the
world2 That one would, of course, con-
tain within itself the possibility Of re-
stocking the world with a valuable
article Of food. If one potato would
produce, when planted, but ten potatoes
in fen years, the total product of that
one potato would be 10, 1000, 600, 900,
which would stock the whole world with
seed. If the world were reduced to ono
single potato, it would better that Lone
don or Chicago be blotted from the earth
than for that one tuber to be lost. &
