TIE BANANA PLANT.

4 new factor is entering the
papermaker's market. It has been
proved that the banana plant con-
tains greater quantity OF pure
fibre than any other of the numer-
GUS vegetable products used for the
manufacture of paper. During the
1rst twelve months OF It's vegeta-
ton the plant only produces a
single bunch of fruit, after which it
dies; but from Its roots four TO ten
young plants spring up. The adap-
tation of the plant to commercial
purposes WILL it is anticipated, re-
volutionise the paper-material mar
ket, and largely affect the industry.
The plant is easy of cultivation,
and has long since been recognised
by the wandering tribes in Central
America as yielding many useful
adjunets to every day domestic re-
quirements.--Ex.

Recognizing the necessity for harmony

urge upon all members of that party to re
frain from saying doing ANYTHING calcu-

welfare of the whole people, white and
black, absolutely demand a continuation of

To the Democratic party, undivided by any

We believe that any departure from the
traditions of the party and he prime iples
laid down by its ilustrious founders would
be mistake and operate against the welfare
