An Old EOsebush.

AS long ago as the year S22 Hides
helm is mentioned in history. In that
year we are told Louis the Pious, Char
lena gne's son and successor, made it
the seat of the bishopric intended by his
father to be established at the neighbor-
ing town of Elze. Less than century
before Charlemagne had brought the
heather Saxons into subsection and
Christianity was yet new in the land.
Gunther, the first bishop, had been can
on at the cathedral at Reims. Three
years after his elevation to the new
episcopal see he consecrated the first
chapel, naming it in honor of the Virgin
Mary. The chapel is supposed to have
occupied the site under the present
cathedral, where the crypt of the new
church is built.
A pretty rosebush that now clings to
the outer wall of the cathedral choir is
said by tradition to have grown there
since the days of Louis the Pious him
self In the Twelfth century, when the
choir and crypt were being enlarged, a
protecting hollow wall was built around
the rosebush, in order that the vine
might continue to grow about the build
ing when the new wall had been COM
pleted A bit of the old arching may be
seen behind the altar in the crypt. This
is the present voucher for the great age
Of the rosebush, and it must be admitted
that MANY traditions repose upon a less
solid foundation.-Arch Record

Young Woman Writer Discourses en-
an Important Part of Man.
Why do young men take such pride
N their mustaches? 1t is, suppose, be-
cause they think a mustache is orna-
mental. Is it? Why do men have clean
shaven lips when they could grow mus
taches? And why do men wear half a
dozen struggling hairs when they ought
to have them shaved off? Why Will men
continue to spend hours every day in
training the hair on their upper lip.
when it doesn't make them look any
more handsome, when ii is ANNOYING TO
their sweethearts by scratching their
cheeks, when it prevents cigar being
smoked more than half through, and
when 1t shows a horrid propensity for
getting mixed up with the food?
/ don't think nustaches are orna-
mental. The ideal mustache has vet
to be invented. 1t must not draggle,
nor be used as a shield to hide ones bad
teeth, nor be fierce. And oh, it must
not be waxed or loaded! What do men
say of women who use grease? When
you are enjoying spoon don't you think
1t takes all the romance out of the thing
by having nasty, cosmeticiZed piece OF
hair edge Its way against your lips:
And isn't 1t exasperating when your
lover leads his mustache and never tells
you? You go home with your face like
metropolitan extension map, and feel
very uncomfortable when father and
mother say there have been lot of smuts
about, for your face has got quite dirty
No, mustaches are neither useful nor
ornamental. Were | man and capa-
bic of growing a most luxuriant mus
tache l would cut it off. A clean shaven
man looks much the incest. Girls like
beardless face. They are content to
know that whiskers and all the rest
could be there if they were wanted.
You see, man with a mustache is
generally bit of fop, and girls don't
like tops. If a man doesn't keep it
trimmed it gets struggling and ragged;
if he does keep it trimmed then he
appears conceited He is eternally
twisting it this way, giving it a curl
that way, stroking it and patting it, I'M
til he loses all character for manliness.
Now, a clean shaven man seems to be
y
is it they are always so fond of curates
especially high church-and actors?
Simply because they shave. Women
want in men a smooth, clear cut face
not with great bunch of hair stuck ont
under the nose. Whoever heard of the
Greeks having mustaches? Whoever
saw statue of a Greek god with d
mustache unless he were an old god and
wore a beard as well?
Mustaches are not ornamental, be-
cause they rarely suit the face, because
they are protuberance and hide the
outline of the mouth, and because, with
mustache, man is frightened to
laugh, as it disarranges it. Only few
women care for them. Men think all
women do. That is mistake.-"A Fair
Critic" in London Tit-Bits.

-rr.e Place to Grow Bananas.

The country most extensively cult
waited for the growth of bananas, and
which for the past three months has so
distinguished itself by the unusual
quality and fine development of its prod
ucts, is situated in the Republic of
Colombo, Bocas del Toro being now the
shipping center and principal attraction
for planters and merchants engaged in
the industry.
There are at the present time, taken
at a rough estimate, no less than Is, 900
acres of land devoted entirely to the cul-
tivation of bananas, from which can be
shipped weekly so, 900 punches, all aver
aging $50 bananas to each bunch. These
are termed whole bunches"-besides
which about %, 900 punches of smaller
size, averaging 200 bananas each (Which
are termed halves) still remain uncut,
and at the expiration of another week
attain their full size, when they also are
ready for shipment.
At the lapse OF the same length OF
time perhaps twice the quantity OF
lunches are ready to be cut, and so on
from week to week, month to month,
and year to year. New plantations are
continually starting up, taking ten
months from the time the suckers" OK
plants, are first put into the ground to
the time they commence to yield.-Cor.

Eating Shoe Hash.

In London century ago it was no
uncommon practice on the part of the
''fast men" to drink bumpers to the
health OF a lady out of her shoe. The
Earl of Cork, in an amusing paper in
The Connoisseur, relates an incident of
this kind, and to carry the compliment
still further he states that the shoe was
ordered to be dressed and served up for
supper.
THE COOK set himself seriously to
work upon it. He pulled the upper part
(which was of fine damask) into fine
shreds and tossed it up into ragout,
minced the sole, cut the wooden heel
into thin slices, fried them in batter and
placed them round the dish for garnish
The company testified their affection for
the lady by eating heartily Of this ex-
quisite impromptu."

FROM KOHALA.
SuDerstifiOus HaWaiians Fear the
Loss of Their Children.

(From an Occasional Correspondent
Here is a district with five sugar
plantations, ten houses Of worship
within a distance of seven miles,
besides the one at Mahukona, two
Government and one private Eng
lish schools of over 100 pupils each,
one seminary, railroad, two ports
of entry, and the "handsomest
chimney in the Kingdom" all on
the side of Hawaii nearest the me-
tropolis, yet having, it is believed,
the poorest mail and steamer SER
vice in the Kingdom.
No matter how urgent a case
may be, there's no communicating
with Honolulu by any regular SER
vice excepting once in ten days.
Better to be sure than was the
condition forty years ago, but not
as good as five years ago, and not
entirely satisfactory.
AS rather marked evidence of
the decided vitality of Hawaiian
superstitions, may be mentioned
the fact that natives were inquir-
ing with credulous concern a few
days ago about a certain report that
three haole mu and one kanaka
mu were touring the island in
quest of children to bury under the
foundation of the New Masonic
Temple and that three children
had already been secretly seized
in Hamakua for that purpose.
1t would appear from some
sources of information that notices
had been posted III the district
warming Hawaiians to keep their
children within doors after sun
down.
The churches of North and West
Kohala celebrated their New Years
Day by having a grand Sunday
School union at the stone church.
where there was said to have been
some amusing attempts to drama
tie Scriptural historical incidents
Eight hundred people were in at
tendance. After services, quite a
number of the older natives, many
of whom have not seen Father
Bond for months and perhaps years
called at the house of their aged
ex-pastor with the hope of being
permitted to see him. A hand tc
hand greeting was impossible in
his poor state of his health, but for
the purpose of gratifying them, he
was lifted to a chair at the window
and many were the expressions O.
sympathy which greeted him there.
