small scallop around the two sides and
tie deep fringe into the bottom. Run
narrow satin ribbon in perpendicular
rows between the shells, leaving loop
and end at the bottom which hangs over
the fringe, and make a cluster of small
bows to cover the chain and starting

prettily used for this purpose, or two
shades of a single color. Pink and light

Bananas for Breakfast.

If you have always eaten bananas as
you eat grapes and pears and apricots,
at the conclusion of big dinner, or as
tidbit between meals, you have not
found out what a glorious fruit it is.
Suppose some morning you try them in
place of oatmeal porridge. Choose per-
fectly ripe ones, and eat them with
bread and butter and coffee or chocolate.
If the latter beverages are frowned upon
by careful mamma, milk will do az
well. Don't eat them during the day,
but reserve them for breakfast deli
cacy. II will reveal delight which
you had never suspected the banana
could afford. This is the way people Of
taste rejoice in them in the balmy trop-
les where they grow, and eaten thus
there is no fear of collie. Perhaps il
you take two or three instead of one,
you will feel satisfied without the huge
breakfast so common in North America,
and then you will astonish the cook
with your robust appetite at noon. This
likewise is the habit among our tropical
neighbors, and they never suffer from
dyspepsia.-Harper's Young People.

for drinking purposes.
1t appears that alcohol, as such lin
some cases diluted with weter), is used
by certain foreign elements. 1t is
drunk 70 great extent by Poles, Nor
wegians, Swedes, Firms, Hungarians
and Russians. Large dealers in the
northwest familiar with this particular
trade furnish the information that fully
one-half of the alcohol sold in that sec
ton is drunk as favorite beverage by
these foreigners. Competent authori.
ties in New York City estimate that
about fifteen barrels of pure alcohol
are daily consumed for drinking pur-

poses in the coal regions of Pennsyl-
vania and other sections, and very
considerable quantity finds its way to
the low grogshops of the country,
where it is compounded into low-grade
whisky and retailed over the bar.
The returns sent in from all the vari-
Gus sources of information sought by
the census Office have been compiled
into various tables, and show that out
OF the aggregate 1876 42 gallons Of
distilled spirits consumed during 1889,
the wholesale druggists and manufac-
turers used 7,966,640 gallons, the elee-
mosynary institutions used 102,790 gall
Ions and the retail druggists used 2,907,-
Az gallons.
In all the interests and spirits COM
| bined New York led the States with
1,760, 343 gallons, closely followed by
Illinois, which is credited with using
1906, 522 gallons; Pennsylvania is third
on the list with l, lag, 941 gallons; Missou-
ri comes fourth with 1,071,06S gallons,
barely leading Massachusetts, which
took care of 1,O1S, $50 gallons, all these
figures representing proof gallons.
The eleemosynary institutions of the
country consumed 2,327 ordinary gal
Ions of cologne spirits, and of this
amount the District of Columbia used
/ 1,433 gallons.
In view of the fact that the retail
druggists are often accused of selling
whisky, brandy, rum and gin as bever-
ages, the table devoted to the retail
apothecaries is especially interesting.
New York druggists used and sold 49,.

In making up this report the census
office used the factors furnished by the
Internal Revenue Department in con

average strength of alcohol and of
cologne spirits was taken at 1888, or, in
other words, at Ss per cent. above proof;
that of highwines at 1.5O, or so per cent

SENTENCED FOR LIFE.
The Punishment Inflicted Upon Persist

The Punishment Inflicted Upon a Persist
ent Rum Seller.
A man of fifty years of age has been
sentenced to sixty-three years impris-
onment for selling liquor, being con-
victed on 123 out of 1000 indictments.
That sounds like law in some other
country than this, but it is what has
happened to G. +. Kibling, citizen of
Norwich, VT, little hamlet just across
the river from Hanover the seat of Dart
mouth College.
Every college graduate for the last
twenty years at least knows "Kib," for
he has defed the law and the prophets
as exemplifed by the august faculty of
the college, and has supplied the ardent
more or less surreptitiously to all the
students who chose to call ON him.
Its quality has been terrible, its cost
far from moderate, yet it was liquor,
and that was enough. Time and time
again has the faculty mailed" him.
Countless times has the victim appeared
in court and penitently taken oath not
to sell again.
He has even signed documents prom
Using to keep tine students dry" which
would be posted upon the college bull
letin board for the delectation and
guidance of the boys, who on
that promise were allowed to
get their meals at his hotel, for
Mr.. Kibling was enterprising and
ran an ''opera-house," billiard hall,
boarding-house and blind bar-room all
under one roof, to say nothing of skat-
ing-rink and other adjuncts too nu-
merous to be catalogued. All this was
in Hanover.
But not long ago there were signs of
trouble. He saw a bigger storm than
usual brewing in the faculty headquar-
tiers, stirred up mainly by Prof. Emer-
son, the instructor in chemistry. He
therefore moved back across the river
into Vermont, and there set up his
gods, calling his place the Pine Tree
Inn, or some such name.
The State of Vermont, as is well
known, has vigorous prohibitory law
on its statute books although it is not
always we'll enforced. But it can be,
as Mr.. KILLING found out to his grief.
Learned professors went to work col
lecting evidence, and to such good eff
feet that they procured the modest
number of one thousand indictments
against the astonished KILLING for the
illegal sale of liquors.
His son, true to his early training,
promptly turned States evidence
against him, and he was brought into
court In vain did he try his old dodge
of swearing that he would tempt the
thirsty no more. Useless was his peni-
tence, though accompanied by tears
method that had always been potent
before. A compromise" was arranged
whereby KILLING was tried on only
seven hundred and twenty-three in
dictments, and on all these was found
guilty and sentenced to sixty-three
years or to pay fine of eight thousand
dollars. The luckless Boniface chose
the former alternative, and has begun
his terrible term of imprisonment

The Census Office has issued census
bulletin No. %, which embodies the
preliminary report on the quantity of
distilled spirits consumed in the arts,
manufactures and medicines in the
United States during the year ended
Dec. 81, 1889.
The report shows that the total
amount of all forms of distilled spirits
consumed by wholesale druggists and
manufacturers, eleemosynary institu-
tions and retail apothecaries amounted
to 1896, $40 proof gallons. This report
is the first ever made that was at all
trustworthy, as previous reports of the
same nature were merely estimates
made by various persons, based upon
such miscellaneous information on the
subject as could easily be secured.
Census schedules to the number of
4O0,O were sent to all the druggists,
wholesale and retail, manufacturing
concerns using distilled ospirits, hos
pitfalls, dispensatories, asylums and
other institutions of like nature in the
United States, so that the vast number
of detailed statements returned to the
census office enabled the special agents
to secure accurate and interesting in
formation.

titled spirits consumed in the United

A acknowledgements Idea.

An American barkeeper, who wants
to sell out his place, has lit upon .
novel idea for doing it. Here's his idea:
To every person who buys, check will
be given the amount of his purchase
When five dollars worth of checks are
gotten they can be returned and a
ticket will be given him. Then, at the
end of given time, say two or three
months. the present proprietor will re-
sign and the bar-room, with all its con-
tents, turned over to the holders of
these tickets. These can then settle it
among themselves as to which one is
the owner. They can then rattle for it
or do what they please with it. 1t will
be theirs jointly, and they can nettle it
