Ripe and Unripe Bananas,

bananas "ripened on the tree are incom-
parably superior to those cut green. But. as
a matter of fact, one never eats them thus

partly to the different sources from which IT

Jamaica, as elsewhere, the competition of

advantage over the poor young man Is with
women in society. Outside Of society money
may not be l-powerful-although 1t is
pretty powerful everywhere-but in the 400
society 1t cannot be denied that a rich man
has q chance to have a pretty good tirle.
Unless he Is ill-natured and disagreeable he
gets more favors at a german than a poor
man gets, he gets more invitations to din
ners. although he needs them less, and he
has good chances of talking to all the pretty
girls. He has a better chance of marrying

man who has no money at all. The worst
Of 1t all is. however, that rich girls them
selves sometimes like to marry these rich
young men. proceeding that Is simply an
outrage on every side. There ought to be a
law against this. All rich girls should marry
poor men and all rich men should marry
poor girls. There would thus be diminution

II any one should offer him a large sum Of
money. would he not take it? If he does not

that 1t is a law Of nature. good OF bad, that

YES" the writer heard a rich man say

away very easily. ANY lawyer will arrange

their cares are not as serious. If they really
were so the struggle in life would be II be
poor instead of rich. The whole thing has
been said, however, whc:. II Is remembered
that no rich man would be willing to change
places with poor man AMI that every poor
man would willingly change his estate with
a rich man.

The Three Wishes,

From Frank Leslie's.
Three girls sat idly on the beach:
One like lily tall and fair
One brilliant with her raven hair
One sweet and Shy OF speech.
II wish for fame" the lily said
And for wealth and courtly life"
Then gently spoke the third: "As wife
1 ask for love instead"
Years passed. Again beside the sea
Three women sat with whitening hair
Still graceful lOvable and fair
And told their destiny.
Fame is not ALL the lily sighed;
Wealth futile u the heart be dead"
81 have been loved" one sweetly said,
''And l am satisfied"

The front hair was parted off and rolled
under, forming a puff above the ear, and
a string of gems or jewel studded band
reached from the center above the forehead
to the knot at the back. Mrs. Cleveland
wears this couture with excellent effect
Mrs. Carlisle wears a modification of the
Empress Eugene style. A few girls have
been trying the style worn during the early
part of the century, but it is not wholly a
success. At one of the receptions last week
one lady wore a slight modification of the
1880 side curls and they were not unbe-
coming.

TWO INDICTMENTS

Against Moore Of the Peoples Fire In
snrance Company.
MANCHESTER, N. H., Jan. 9.-The Hills
boro county grand jury yesterday after
noon reported two indictments against J..
c. Moore, president OF the defunct Peo-
ple's Fire Insurance company. One was
for swearing falsely on the condition of the
company as its president in January, 1893,
and the other for making illegal loans to
himself as president OF the Merrimac
Mortgage and Debenture company, sub
sequently known as the Deerfleld Savings
bank. Ii is also reported that an indict-
ment has been found against Charles Il.
Morrill,, the missing cashier.
DIR. Moore said last night that an in
dictmcnt does not prove n man guilty,
and that not long ago, although he was
petitioned into insolvency, he proved him
self solvent. He said he made oath on
the condition of the bank, which after
examination by the auditor and insur-
ance committee was declared correct. No
loans were made him until they had met
the approval of the directors and no per
son pretended that note signed by him
was not good
