IT is not without good reason that
the banana has become so popular in
recent years. For it is said to possess
in itself all the essentials to the sus-
tenance of life for both man and
beast. 1t belongs to the lily family,
and is a developed tropical lilly, from
which by ages of cultivation the seeds
have been eliminated and the fruit for
which it was cultivated expanded. In
relation to the bearing qualities Of
this fruit, Humboldt, who early saw
the wonders of the plants said that
the ground that would grow 90
pounds of potatoes would grow SO
pounds OF wheat, but that the same

vious month and return only those used
The attorney gen eral interprets the law as
printed and say there is no other course for
the druggists to pursue.

The Trappist monastery situated in
Kentucky is the home of those monks
upon whom the injunction OF perpet-
ual silence is placed. The stories that
sift through to the outside world,
with more or less romantic detail,
concerning the individual monks of
La Trappe are many. There is one
told of brother at Gethsemane
which is old but full of dramatic sug-
gestion He was a soldier of Napo-
leon, so it was said, and after the
emperor's first abdication took the
cowl of the Brown brothers" and
ultimately came to Gethsemane.
Forty years he lived in silence, hear
ing nothing of the worlds history.
but with one item of curiosity left un-
quenched. When he came to die and
was lifted from his hard couch and
laid upon the harder floor, strewn
with straw, when all followers of the
order must meet extremes, the abbot,
as is customary, told him he was at
liberty to ask any questions he de-
sired. What became Of the emperor?"
the Old man asked promptly, and
then for the first time learned Napo-
Icons fate, long years after that
restless clay had become dust.-Rich-
