Importation of Bananas.

Figures compiled by the banana
importers of New York show that
there were brought to the United
States from Central America and the
West Indies in 1892 the respectable
total of IL. $50, 919 punches of bananas,
worth an equal number of dollars
In 1891 the total importation of
bananas amounted to $3.50, 24O
punches, showing the increase Of the
year just closed to be 2,007, 1874
punches.
The importers say that these figures
are highly satisfactory. as showing
the steady growth and Importance of
the trade, when the injurious effect
of the cholera scare is taken into con-
sideration. Formerly New York was
the chief banana port of the United
States, but the geographical advan-
tages enjoyed by New Orleans in its
nearness to the banana countries has
told heavily in it's favor, and now it
heads the list of importing cities
with 4, 4S3, 351 punches, while New
York takes second place with total
importation of 3, 715, 625 punches.
OF the steamers engaged in the
banana trade wholly or in part, forty
six come to New York, twenty-four
60 to New Orleans, seven to Phila-
delphia, four to Baltimore three to
Boston, two to Mobile, one to Sa-
vannah. and one to Montreal. New

Corn said to Cause Typhus.

Kansas City grain dealers are laugh.
ing about the charge frequently made
in Mexico that American corn has
caused the epidemic of typhus fever
in that country.
DIR. Levi B. Salmons of Guiana.
juato, Mexico, has translated the fol.
lowing from a Mexican newspaper:
The present epidemic has been
marching down from north to south
through this republic since June,
1892; like its two predecessors. it has
also been preceded by two years
drought and the famine which fol-
lowed. In order to relieve tthe poor
to a certain extent from their suffer
ings from the drouth, great Quanti-
ties of American corn were admitted
from Texas free of duties. The pes
thence has had progressive develop
ment in the places where this corn
has been introduced, making the
greatest havoc where it has been most
used, such as Zacatecas and Guiana
juato The Texas corn, as have been
informed, has been kept long time
in immense repositories, being pre-
served by means of sulphare of copper
and lime so as to sell it at such time
as prices might be up.

Declined.

Dean Hole, in his Memories" Of a
Tong and busy life, tells an amusing
story connected with church collec.
tions. The occurrence Subscribed as
taking place on Sunday when the
congregation happened to be unex'
pectedly large.
The rector, seeing that there was
only one almsdish, beckoned to a
rustic, and babe him go through the
garden into the rectory DINING room.

aisle and up the other" he said, land
then bring Ii to me-"
The rustic disappeared, came back
with the dish, took it as he was
ordered and presented it to the peo-
pie on either side Of the aisle, and
then, approaching the rector, whis-
pered inlhis ear:
sPve done as yer told me, sir.
I've taken it down yon side the aisle
and up t'other-the.v'u none on 'em
ave any,"
No order had been given to empty
the dish, and it was full OF biscuits!

How to Guess q woman's Age.

A volume of memoirs has been pub
lished giving the experiences of a
French president of the assize. 1t
bears curious testimony to the in
accuracy of women on the subject of
their own ages AS the writer's in
formation is from the calendar, he
speaks only Of the criminal classes
The only instances in which he finds
correct dates given by women are
when they are under twenty-five or
over eighty-f1ye. At these periods of
life, he says, they are to be trusted.
At ali other periods the sure con-
trolling tendency is to uIderstate.
The magistrate has been able to give
a rule for guidance. He finds that
female prisoners invariably state
their ages as twenty-nine, thirty
nine, forty-nine, or tifty-uine, and
from this remarkable circumstance
he deduces his rule II their ages
are in the forties they boldly set them
down in the thirties, but conscience
asserting itself, they keep as near the
truth as they can and fix them at
thirtY-nine. Whether male criminals
do the same the magistrate does not
state.

Life Among the Utes.

The children are almost idoliZed By
their parents; wrong to one OF these
little ones is a wrong to themselves.
But they do not appear to be re-
stricted to any discipline, as they
will kick or slap their mothers as they
would brother or sister. One
peculiar method Of punishment is to
plunge a crying fractions child in
water.
One day girl about twelve years
of age refused to go to school. In
vain she screamed and tore herself
away from her mother; the latter
seized her and plunged her into an
irrigatiug ditch close at hand. The
water was not quite deep enough to
cover her, so over she was turned on
the other side to complete the i'm
mersion. She went to school.
Jenkins and Suwick are almost
regular boarders at our table. They
walk in unceremoniously indians

until we have finished our repast, and
then look to be invited to partake.
Sometimes Sowick has taken a new
departure and invited his friends to
our table.
The other day / offered him lunch
after dinner; he made me understand
that he would be in directly, and soon
he returned with his squaw and
daughter, young woman about
eighteen years old.
/ told him that there was only
enough for one. but he insisted that
his sQuaw should sit in the chair
placed for him, and he took another
chair. To cap it all, Uncle Sam, an
other Indian friend of Sowick's, ap-
peared upon the scene, and Sowick
wanted him served also; but 1 ex-
planned matters to Uncle Sam; and
he, in his native tongue, said it was
call right"
Sometimes this feeding them proves
sore trial, but there is not one In
dian too good to beg.

The Sense of Smell in Dogs.

The sense of smell is by no means
so developed in man as in dogs, cats,
and other animals, but it is often alb
normally keen in individuals deprived
of other senses: blind, deaf-mutes,
for example, can recognize their
friends and form an opinion about
strangers solely by means of this
sense. Possibly, however, animals
are only sensitive to certain smells,
while unconscious of others that at.
feet us. II this be the case. they
would naturally be able to follow up
one particular scent more easily than
a man, this scent to which they are
sensitive being to them less confused
with others.
Dogs are able to track their mas
tiers through crowded streets, where
recognition by sight is quite impos-
sible, and can find hidden biscuit
even when its faint smell is further
disguised by perfumerY. In some ex-
periments Mr. Romanes lately made
with a dog he found that it could
easily track him when he was far out
of sight, though no fewer than eleven
people had followed him, stepping ex-
actIy in his footprints, in order to
confuse the scent.
The dog seemed to track him chiefly
by the smell of his boots, for when
without them, or with new boots on,
it failed, but followed. though slowly
and hesitatingly, when his master
was without either boots or stock
ings. Dogs and cats certainly get
more information by means Of this
sense than a man can: they often get
greatly excited over certain smells,
and remember them for very long

Too Costly.

Franklin's story about '.Paying too
dear for the Whistle" should be read
by boys whose hero is Samson. Col
Fred Burnaby whose ride to Khiva
made him famous, was ambitious
when boy to become the strongest
man in the world. Appointeda cornet
in the Royal Horse Guards at seven
teen, he threw himself into the pur-
suit of muscle.
When precise examination dem
onstrated that his arm measured
round the biceps seventeen inches,
his cup of joy was full. It ran over
when at Aldershot he lifted straight
out with one hand adumb-bell weigh
ing ITO pounds, and no other man in
the camp could perform the same
feat.
He once undertook to hop quarter

ride quarter of a mile and walk a

A householder, arriving at Windsor
with pair of beautiful ponies that
he had been commanded to show the
Queen. took them first to the quarters

Some of these, by the way of a sur

stairs The householder was in a
quandary, but young Burnaby came
to his help by taking pony under
each arm and walking down the stair
way.
He was barely out of his teens when
he was acknowledged to be the
strongest man in Great Britain; but
he paid the penalty of success in
wasted tissues and failing health.
His stomach refused ali nourishment
save that afforded by ice-cream, and
the doctor advised him to travel.
Absence from duty for a long time,
the abandonment of dumb-bells, and
the laying aside of his ambition to
become the greatest of athletes re-
stored him to comparative health.

rels were leveIed at the kneeling
sacrifice to border justice.
"Take aim," and the gunners
steadied themselves for the fatal sig
nal. and Bosely's right hand went up.
"F1re" and instantly flashed the
volleY, reyerberating a wild and I'M

that looked down upon that awful
scence.
In the clear morning air the smoke

like funeral pail over the mangled

Russian Peasants,

Here is an amusing and strictly
true incident. illustrating the char
acter traits OF the Russian peasants.
A party of peasants who had been
cutting wood in forest near Disna,
and had spent all their earnings on
drink, were vending their way home
ward.
swell, brethren" said one of the
party, I'VE are a lot Of bad fellows"
"How 500" asked the tipsiest.
"We have wasted our summers
earnings in brandy while every
honest man should lay by something
for the winter"
All looked grave at this rebuke
Then
1--WE are a lot of bad fellows, in
deed" reioined the party.
'Let us punish ourselves for our
waywardness, suggested an elderly
peasant; "let US infict upon each
other TWENTY-FIVE blows"
The whole party assented again.
They cut sticks and began execut-
ing the self-imposed punishment.
They each stripped and stoicaily re-
ceived the stripes.
The last one of the party, however,
demurred, and attempted to run away
before his turn came. He was caught,
and in punishment for his attempt
to escape he received fifty lashes,
double the number of the designated
chastlsement.
Hardly alive, the poor fellow was
brought to Disna, where he was laid
up IN the hospital for some time.

Pat Walked.

cay Gould once told story about
an Irishman. 1t was when there
were pacKet-boats on the Erie Canal
The Irishman offered to work his
passage to Buffalo, and they set him
to leading the horses that towed the
boat. He worked faithfully two days,
doing a great deal Of thinking. On
the third day he thought it out 'By
the powers" he said, 81 moight as
well walk as work me passage" And
walk he did, without even thanking
