The annual consumption Of bananas in
the United States is far beyond what any
body, not actually aware Of the facts, would
probably suppose it to be. The importation
OF bananas last year into this country was
u, 500, QUO lunches of the fruit, and as the
punches average about $50 bananas to
bunch, that gives total of 1879 900, 900
bananas, which would give about 150 ban
nnas a year as the consumption OF the fruit
for every family in the United States. The
banana is certainly favorite fruit with the
Yankee nation, and the banana peel Is the
faRorite slipper.

The spectacle afforded by the baccarat
scandal trial in London is not calculated to
raise royalty from the somewhat debased
position which it holds, in popular estima-
non. The fact that the Prince of VI ales
occupies a seat beside the judge on the
aench during the trial. is hardly in keeping
with his position as "bonker' during the
anne, but English court ways are not Ameri-
can ways in court.

Now that the railroads are Advertising
Nermont's attractions for summe. visitors
and the State Board Of Agriculture are call
ing attention to the States agricultural and
manufacturing resources, those who expect
to reap harvest at homo US result Of this
advertising should not forget that they have
no little responsibility in this connection.
No matter how many people are brought
into the State in this manner, if their sur
roundings are not made attractive in vari-
Gus ways, they will shake tho Green noun
tain dust from their feet and seek n more
congenial region in which to spend their
summer vacation. In the first place the
residents who have applied to the railroad
alt4ortics for summer boarders must see
that their village or farm premises are made
heat and tidy and their homes bright and
attractive outside well as inside. In the
same way those who have charge Of parks
and public buildings in villages will aid in
promoting the general welfare OF the COM
uuuity in this matter by removing litter
ald applying paint judiciously here and
| there whtr5 il Is needed, =
IL the Xt place those who nave charge
of tho roads have an important duty TO per-
! form, About the first thing the tourist
thinks Of after having become Comfortably
set,led, is drive. The beauties OF Yer
mont have been praised to him aud if he is
driven over a road rough with stones and
holes or knee deep with mud it is unnecessary
TO sag that he viii very soon lose his admi-
ration Tor Vermont's attractions as a sum-
NOR resort These same considerations will
! have a large influence vita investors.
! Tics, Ero only few of the suggestions

Others viii readily suggest themselves. A

ATTACKED BY ALBATRossEs. s.-During the pas
sage of Novs ScotianT bank to Liverpool most
extraordinary affair is reported to have occurred,
showing alike the ferocious and dangerous pro-
clivi.ies OF the albatross, says the Pail Mall Gazette.
The bark had just got out Of the latitude where
rough weather is slwsys encountered aud was SAIL
ing with fair wind when the cry OF man over
board sounded throughout the ship. The un-
fortunate fellow was Dane, one of the crew.
and he was seen at o short distance breasting the
waves
The bark was brought round, answering the
helm instantly, and the vessel was soon on her
way to the struggling man.
Suddenly two large albatrosse1 were seen to de-
scend with an eagle like swoop and attacked the
Door fellow in q terrible manner.
Both birds dashed at him. and to thos' on board
the vessel it seemed as if they were eudeavorlng
to eouge out his eyes with their hooked bills,
while with their wings they kept beating the un'
fortunate man about the head.
The sight was terrible one, but it did not last
long, as the bark called the course where the
Dane had fallen over board about seven minutes
before, but he was nowhere to be seen.
There was no doubt in the minds Of those on
board that tie poor fellow wss killed by the alba.
trosses, as he was powerful swimmer and seemed
to fight desperately for few minutes with the
ferocious birds.
