AS TO THE FLOOD, DOCTORS DIFFER
Some Think 1t Local to the Euphrates, 9th

cTs u tne Ice age.
Suess, in ''Das Antlitz der Erde, {"
and Neumayer, in ''Erdesgeschichte, :"
have attempted to show that the Mo-
sale account of the deluge was copied
with little from an original Assyrian
version, and that it was a local food
which took place in the plains of the
Tigris and Euphrates, not in the valley
Natur Wochenschrift, however, Herr
Richard Hennig tries to prove that q
general flood took place in the ice age
during the quaternary period.
Many facts, such as evidences Of gla-
citation and lowering of temperature,
found in the rocks and in sagas and
myths, as well as the vast extension Of
a great lake in the far west of America,
whose level was 1000 feet above that
of the Salt lake, go to prove that floods
accompanied the retreat of the glaciers.
Countries il warmer latitudes-for ex-
ample, the Sahara-were converted into
seas and swamps or were locally food
ed. Isolated lands kept clear of the in
undation-for instance, ESypt-but we
may remind Herr Hennig that. accord
ing to Herodotus, Egypt was formerly
in great part a marsh.
1t is curious to note, IN connection
with the glacial theory, that an old
Aryan tradition tells of the "Aryans"
having been driven from their original
seat by the country becoming colder and
the winter longer. The German food
saga tells that 1.-The floods of the north

turned into ice, and the ice stood still,

Hot Water For Cows.

"Hot water for cows is the maxim
of the French dairy farmers in the de-
partment Of Finistere. They claim to
have proved by experiments that when
cows drink hot water they yield one
third more milk than when they are re-
freshed with cold water onl.-. Caution
must, OF course, be observed in adopting
the new system. Avaricious dairymen
must beware of scalding the threats of
their cows in their haste to avail them
selves of this discovery, which is vouch.

RIPE AND uNRIPs BANANAS.
Those Allowed to Ripcu ON Tree Are No
the Best Favored.

Those Allowed to Ripcu Tree Arc Not
tho Best Favored.
Whether for shipment or for homo
consumption the banana is cut az soon
as it is ''full"-that is, when it has
reached its adult form and size, but is
still quite green. The plant is cut off
by a single blow Of q machete welded
by q powerful arm. As it falls the
bunch is caught, Topped of and laid
aside, while the harvester goes on to
the next bunch. 1t is popular SUPPOSE
ton that bananas ''ripened ON the tree"
are incomparably superior to those cut
green. But, as q matter of fact, one
never eats them thus ripened in Jamai-
ca. They are said to he not 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 ex-
traordinarily as it is offered to us. This
is due partly to the different sources
from which it comes.
The best that is brought to us comes
from Jamaica. 1t is also due still more
to the condition of the fruit when cut.
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 competition of buyers leads the I'M
scrupulous ones to accept fruit Of any
sort, even when totally unfit, and this
sort Of competition makes all the more
unavailing the efforts of honest buyers
to raise the standard and to teach the
people to withhold their fruit until it
is properly developed. Americans can
give more moral support to these efforts
by accepting only such fruit as is ma
ture at any price. A little pains will
soon enable one to distinguish good
from poor fruit, though it is difficult to
give general statement of the distinc-
tive differences. But, as a rule, it will
be found that bananas which are lar
gest, deepest yellow and least angular
are the most mature and best.-Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

who had place close by. threw herself
on her knees, buried her face in her
hands and evidently prayed fervently.

1t will be well for the man who ex-
poets to sail smoothly into the mafri-
monial port to continue those fiattering
attentions after his engagement which
preceded it. 1t will not suffice for him
to talk of what he Is saving to make
their little home worthy Of her. He
must, by some magic, be able both to
save money for the future and to pro-
vide her with the flowers, books, bon
bons, theater tickets and other trifles
which he bestowed upon her when there
was no future to be taken into consider
alton.
He must treat her people with defer
ence, cordially and flial affection. He
must let her complain Of all their faults,
retail all the family quarrels and point
ont all the family imperfections with
out ever allowing the knowledge he &C.
quires thus TO tinge his behavior. He
must listen to her abuse of them with
sympathy and never by any chance show
anything hut the highest regard for
them himself
He must like all her friends. He
must treat ''the girls'' with the init
macy which never borders on familiar
ity; FAUST enjoy their society, which
will be thrust upon him at all times
and places. and at the same time must
be prepared to agree with her estimate
of their shortcomings. twill be just as
we'll for him never to admire them too
extravagantly.
In public he must always be prepared
to show her the attention she needs, but
must also be prepared to let her have
a good time, unhampered by his devo-
ton. For instance, he must never let
her sit out a dance alone, yet he must
never glover when she seems to be
dancing often with other men. His man.
ner must be a perfect mingling Of devo-
ton and noninterference.
Incidentally it may be added that an
occasional dose of neglect is wholesome,
and that n semioccasional quarrel is not
to be despised. Times
