Boarding House Amenities.
They were talking at the boarding
house table about Smith, the lawyer,
who was not present.
''Smith," said the autocrat at the head
Of the table. and who is himself law
yer, Smith is q very bright fellow, but
he has this drawback: he rates himself
about 60 per cent higher than anybody
else does"
yes" said the newspaper man medi-
tatively as he reached over and took the
two brown biscuits that the teacher had
her eyes on, Eyes, but that is such q
common failing of lawyers that never
take any account Of It."
And then the other boarders who never
dare to indulge in such amenities laughed
wildly, while the lawyer said he
couldn't see why it was that slur on
his profession was always 80 amusing to
the common herd.-Exchange.

The country most extensively culti- vated for the growth of bananas, and which for the past three months has so distinguished itself by the unusual quality and tiue development of its prod ucts, is situated in the Republic oi Colombo, Bucas 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 rough estimate, DO less than iS,00J acres of land devoted entirely to the cul tiyation of bananas, from which can be shipped weekly 80000 punches, all aver aging 250 banapas to each bunch. These are termed whole bunches besides which about 25. GOO punches of a smaller size, averaging 200 bananas each (which are termed halves) still remain uncut and g, the expiration of another week attain their full size, when they also are ready for shipment
 At the lapse of the same length Q! time perhaps twice the quantity of punches are ready to be cut, and 70 or from week to week, month to rionth and year to year New plantations are continually starting up, taking ten months from the time the ''suckers, or plants, are first put into the ground to the time they commence to yield.-Cor New Orleans PicayUne.

 New York boasts of the largest sur. pliced colored boy choir in the United States, and, so far as is known, in the world Such choifs are not numerous, and are to be found only in large cities Thereare two in New York--one belong ing to Roman Catholic and the othei to Protestant Episcopal church. The latter is the one here meant, and as ths music of the Episcopal is so diiTeren. from that of the Roman Catholic church no comparison between the two can bs drawn.
 St. Philips church in West Twenty. fifth street, between Sixth and Seventh avenues, is one of the oldest colored congregations in America. The present building is an ordinary affair of brick and wHs once used by Methodists. Up to frw months ago the music at St Philips was furnished by ar ordinary mixed choir of colored singers Some months before Easter it was decided to NAicslAfst " t+ bb1 NllNAt NAAAu a1 fAlt iJ kC found in Trinity, St. Agnes, St. An, drews' and other. more or less high" churches in the city. The present or ganist, kr E. B. Kinney, was engaged to organize the choir, and the first serv- ices under the new order of things were heard on Easter Sunday. Mr. Kinney, however, found the task of organiza- ton a difficult one. He discovered that, 50 far as the constant desire to have fun and play pranks with one another was concerned, there was not much differ ence between colored and white boys And as the choir consisted of thirty boys, in addition to twenty men, he had to keep his eyes open. In time the youngsters began to submit fairly well to discipline and are now quite tracta- ble. Of course there was no trouble with the men.
 The coiored race is essentially musical, both in ear and voice, and this fact has caused the choir of St. Philips to be reckoned among the best boy choirs in the city. Once the youngsters are in- terested they enter upon the work with an earnestness that would put many a white boy to the blush. In the choir there are several remarkably good so- prano voices. Two little colored chaps, Prentice Hutchinson and Howard Brax- ton. are regerded as especially fine, and to them most Jf the solos are given. The ages of the boys range from nine to six teen years
 Mir Kinney says that as far as be knows he is the only white person con nected with the church. though the rector the Rev II, C. Bishop, is fre- queutly assisted by white ministers. St. Philips church is interesting for other things than its choir It has very valuable chahce cup. made of gold, which has been insured for S4,000. It is studded with diamonds, pearls, ruiies and other precious stones, There is g legend that two of the diamonds, each worth $500, were found in the bottom 1 of trunk belonging 10 one of the women members of the church aud were given to adnrn the chalice cup. The altar is handsome one and was pre- sented by Dr. Ray, colored physician of some roje in tbls city. The organ is small, tut ysry sweet in tone. New ! York World.
