THE WORLDS LARGEST FARM
1t is 100 Miles from End to End
and 20 Miles Broad.

1t is 100 Miles from End to End
and 20 Miles Broad.
The largest farm in the world is
in the southwest corner of Louisi-
ana. A syndicate brought it in
1888, and now runs it. At that
time 10000 head of half-wild horses
and cattle grazed over the area. In
one lump the syndicate bought
100000 acres.
At present this immense tract is
divided into convenient pasture
stations, or ranches, existing every
six miles. The fencing alone cost
IN the neighborhood Of $4,000.
The land is best adapted for rice,
sugar, corn and cotton. All Guilt
waiting, ditehing, etc., is done by
steam power. Grain is shipped in
great quantities. The company
owns 10000 head of horses, three
steamboats, and a bank.-[Spare

THE BANANA PLANT.

A new factor is entering the
papermaker's market. 1t has been
proved that the banana plant con-
tains a greater quantity of pure
fibre than any other of the numer-
GUS vegetable products used for the
manufacture of paper. During the
first twelve months of its 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-
volntionise 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
adiuncts to every day domestic re-
quirements.-Ex.

fences skipped Keller, as II his life depend

for tue constable, who was forced to give up
the chase. But Keller did not long evade
service The constable gave the papers TO
young man named Timothy TO serve He
walked into the store after Keller's return,
stated that he wished to see the proprietor

Grand Opera House this evening by a COM
pany OF talented and popular amateurs for
the benefit of the Technical School of st.
Vincenrs orphanage. The event is sure to
be an attractive one and, if we may judge
by the grand rush to Sherman & Claws for
reserved seats, will be as successful as the
most enthusiastic can wish for.
The benefit is one that appeals to the heart
of every one, as it is given for the Iaudable
purpose of placing a technical education
within the reach Of hundreds of destitute
boys, whom it is hoped to make useful eiti-
zens in the near future. With the aid de-
rived from this entertainment, which will
be repeated on Friday next, Father Nc
kinnon hopes to teach all OF the boys in his
charge some useful trade. through which
they will be able to make good living
upon leaving the asylum.
