The fact that Italians and bananas are

The fact that Italians and bananas are
associated in the minds of many gives
rise to the impression that that fruit
comes from Italy, but it is mistake.
The association comes from the circum-
stance that the fruit vendors in the cities
are largely Italians. As to this favorite
tropical fruit, there are imported to this
country annually about $4,000, 900
punches. This quantity for $1,000, 600
people is about oDe-tifth of a bunch to
each person; and as the average bunch
contains about $50 bananas, the average
consumption is about 50 bananas per
capita. Within the memory of the pres
ent generation the fruit was compare
tive luxury, scarce and dear, while at
present the price is as cheap as the sup
ply is enormous. Improved methods of
transportation have brought the Central
American producer and the North Amer
lean consumer into closer proximity:
and the perishabie fruit now reaches
markets which a few years ago were in
accessible.

The Leayenworth Times compl

The Leavenworth Times complains
that the EAGLES monetary suggestions
are '-too deep or too muddy" That's
just what we thought, and that is why
we suggested that the Times would do
well, and additionally save its credit by
steering clear of any discussion of the
subject. 1t has hardly been a week
since that same paper INDUCED in like
complaint touching an editorial of the
EAGLE on even a less abstruse subject
than that of national finance. We sug-
gest to our esteemed that an occasional
article on the ravages of the chinch bug,
and the correlation Of the Hessian fv
and the third party movement would
not only afford a suitable field for retlec-
ton but might prove profitable, and at
the same time be within the comprehen-
sion of both the Times leading writers,
as also of its Alliance patrons. These
bugs may have no connection with the
necessity for an expansion of the cur
rency, at least traceabIe by the Times
people, yet they constitute prolific
sources for those who can, in the uncer-
tain spirit of the hour, size them up.

of fellows chance to come to the front

The Atchison Champion thinks sit is
a trifle significant that, while President
Harrison has appointed a number Of
negro postmasters in the south, he has
failed to appoint SO much as single col

portions of whites and blacks in Indiana
the same as they are in the south there
would be no discrimination in the mat
ter of amendments.

A Platinum Saw.

It has been noticed that platinum,
when placed in an electrical current, is
heated to a dull redness. This fact is
the basis Of the invention of an electri-
cal saw which will cut quickly and
neatly the hardest wood.
The device is made of steel wire, upon
which is deposited metallic platinum
By connecting this modified wire with
the terminals of four Bunsen batteries
the platinum is heated to bright red
ness, and the saw is ready for business.

Through the charm laden air.
A clear lyric rings.
As wooing wild bird trilis his liquid love-note.
From his love aching heart through his brown flute

Then a sudden sweet hush
To the sheer silence clings,
The low vibrant humming
OF insect wings;
With half muffied cadence they whir and foat
On the drowsy. bright air with soothing rote.
And slim notified snake
With dull sleep sheathed eyes
Is husht in the heat-haze of golden noon;
While the almless south wind sings low lulled
tune
The dronfng brown bee
To the clover field flies.
Of burning incense
The red rosewood signs.
With infinite rapture the white lilies swoon,
And the sweets of the year sweep over June.

LITERARY NOTES,

With over 100 illustrations, the Cos
mopolitan for June sets a fast pace in
the handicap for magazine honors. The
personal element enters largely into its
composition, and an impression of beau
tiful women is the first received by the
reader who turns its pages. The fronts
piece is portrait of Madame de Pompa-
dour, and pertains to bright sketch of
a summer spent in the home of that IA
nous woman by Amelie Rives and her
guests. Miss Julia Magruder, the writer,
was one of those guests, and instantan-
eous photographs are used to illustrate
the scenes of delightful holiday amidst
unusual surroundings. Perhaps the
most valuable article of the number is
that contributed by Mr. Abner L. Frazer
to the literature of the farmers move
ment. The Cosmopolitan prize of $500
for the best article on 1.-THE needs Of the
farmer. his hours of labor, and the ma
tional legislation necessary to his pros
perity," was awarded by the judges to
this gentleman. The article itself is
frightened by a series of cartoons by the
famous artists, Atwood, of Boston, and
Dan Beard, Of New York. Cosmopoli-

features of Harper's Magazine for several

of a serial story by George du Maurier,
entitled "Peter Ibbetson," will appear
in Harper's Magazine. This story, which
is written in the form of an autobio-
graphy, is enc of peculiar physical in
terest, involving many strange incidents
connected with the phenomena of
dreams. 1t will be illustrated by the
author in his own inimitable style, and
being his first novel will attract very
general attention from the beginning.

The record-union., 1891-01-25


SENATOR SPRAGUE's bill to punish ven-
doris of lottery tickets gives half the fine
imposed to the informer. To cultivate
the growth of the informer class is OBJ
noxious to the manly sense. 1t is, per-
haps, necessary in the protection of fish
cry and game interests, for special rea-
sons. But city and county officers can, if
they choose, suppress the business of
the lottery ticket vendor. Very true,
they do not do SO, as the RECoRD-UNIoN
has pointed out over and over again. But
there should be some way planned to
compel them to do their duty. 1t would
be less Objectionable to give the District
Attorney premium upon convictions of
offenders. But to stimulate an informer
class is to raise up beggarly crew that
will simply levy hush-money upon the
lottery agents and let the business go ON.
Lottery ticket vending is bad enough,
certainly, but to bid for informers will
not, we think, suppress it. Vigilance,
energy, and sincere desire to obey and
enforce the law, on the part of all peace
officers, ought to be sufficient to cope
with the gigantic evil.
The record-union., 1891-01-25

Mr.. HAMILL's Senate bill, to prohibit
the publication of lottery drawings in any
newspaper or periodical, ought to pass. The
publication of such lists advertises the
lotteries in the strongest possible manner,
and is means for the corruption of
youth and the fostering of the spirit of
gaming. Many States have such laws
and enforce them; the Federal Govern
ment has refused these lists, no matter in
what form they appear, transportation in
the mails; Louisiana is doing her utmost
to shake off the lottery curse, and Euro
pean nations are crushing out lotteries
and closing up gambling resorts. Cali
fornia herself has for years had upon her
statute book law forbidding the adyer-
Using of lotteries, but it has not been en-
forced, because just what advertising is
is not defined by the law. This bill of
Senator Hamills supplements the pres
ent law by defining, in effect the publi-
cation of drawings to be advertising.
That any legislator will vote against so
just and necessary bill is inconceivable.
