Sometimes parts of the history of in

possessors may depend on this mystery
to a greater extent than they are
aware Of Anamusing instance of this
kind is related by an ex-United States
minister who is an enthusiastic eollee-
tor of rare and beautiful china
This gentleman, says the Youths
Companion, recently purchased beau
tiful piece of china. decorated in gold
and colors, bearing the monogram M

of the original states Of the union. He
put it in his cabinet, and often looked
at it with great satisfaction.
One day a gentleman who is an ex-
pert critic of fine china, called upon
him, man who is also a member of
the firm Of Brown Il Co., well-known

many authorities were heard from
bringing proof quite contrary and
pointing out that in the West India
islands everybody eats bananas and as
many as can secure it drink wine, and
that no fatality from the mixture is re.

acts poisonously with banana juice, but
