RIPE AND UNRIPE BANANAS.
Some Information About This Now
Common Fruit.

Whether for shipment or for home
consumption, the fruit is cut as soon
as it is full" that is, when it has
reached it's adult form and size, but
is still quite green. The plant Is cut
off by a single blow Of machete
welded by powerful arm. As 1T
falls the bunch is caught, Topped OF
and laid aside, while the harvester
goes on to the next bunch. 1t is
popular suppositiOn that bananas
1'ripened on the tree" are incOmpar-
ably superior to those cut green.
But, as a matter of fact, one never
eats them thus ripened IN Jamaica
They are said not to be SO good. At
all events, one finds no better fruit
in texture and flavor than the best
of our own markets. But every lover
of this fruit knows that its quality
varies extraordinarily as it is offered
to us. This is due partly to the
different sources from which 1t
comes.
Bananas which are perfectly full
will ripen mellow and delicious; but
those cut when immature, as too
many are, will turn yellow, yet never
truly ripen, retaining always their
hard texture and unripe taste. In
Jamaica as elsewhere, the competl-
ton of buyers leads the unscruplons
ones to accept fruit of any sort, even
when totally unfit. This sort of
competition makes all the more IN
availipg the efforts Of honest buyers
to raise the standard and to teach
the people to hold their fruit until 1t
is properly developed. Americans
can give more moral support to
these efforts by accepting only such
fruit as is mature at any price. A
little pains will soon enable one to
distinguish good from poor fruit
though it is difficult TO give q gener-
al statement of the distinctive differ
ences. But, as rule, it will be
found that bananas which are larg
est, deepest yellow and least angular
are the most mature and best

Lancaster Teller: The people Of

more railroad facilities. The COM
mittee who We're appointed at mass
meeting to confer with different
roads went to Chicago, and report
that they were very handsomely
received by the officers of the North
western and Illinois Central. The
former road says they will have a
meeting of the directors and will let
the committee know their conclusion
later on. They did not seem to take
kindly to the idea Of continuing the
narrow guage from Woodmen, but
appeared to think that they could
pull up that road and build broad
guage from Fennimore to Boscobel
and continue from there on over the
river to Richland county. The Illi-
nois Central Is looking for an outlet
from Dodgeville, this road now being
six miles north Of that point. The
officers " that company talked very
fayorably, said they would have the
road surveyed, and il they concluded
to build would make Boscobel the
terminal point; would run passen-
ger from Boscohel to Chicago in 5
hours, and stock in I. This road
would take in Montfort, Highland
