A LoUDLY-TRUMPETED enterpris.
was that Of several capitalists who
engaged in the manufacture Of bana-
ma -four in Central America several
years ago, and who, according to
some of the trade papers, were going
to establish an industry Of great mag
nitude. or late, however, nothing
has been heard about the results OF
the experiment, but it now appears
that a similar experiment is being
tried in Dutch Guiana, and the Brit
ish Consul at Paramaiho says that
machinery to the value Of $40, 600
has been imported and set at work
grinding the bananas, and that a
portion Of the product of the mill
has been sent to Holland. The com
pany anticipate that a considerable
demand for the meal for bread-mak-
ing purposes will spring up. An an
alysis OF the meal follows: Moisture,
IL. "A; ether extract, 0,39; alcohol
extract $50 per cent? 5.94 (of which,
reducing sugar LIS per cent, sucrose
G. 0S); cold water extract, 5.33; fiber
and other Understandable carbohy-
drates, S.15; total, 100. 90. From
this it will be seen that the food val
ue Of the meal is minute, and should
be compared rather to the potato
than to the cereal In the face of
this analysis 1t is difficult to believe,
says the consul, that the banana meal
enterprise will prove remuneratiye.

IT is a queer commentary on tn
state of affairs that while hundreds
Of thousands OF men are idle and hslf-
starving In our cities, the farmers Of
the country are crying for hep to do
the necessary We X on their farms.
In many localities it is impossible to
get farm help at prices that would
have been considered large five years
ago. Is 1t possible that We are near
ng a time when farming sill be
looked upon as a mental pursuit
which self-respectlng men will not
engage In? We hope not, for when
that time comes we will see the be-
ginning of the end. In old times the
farmer was looked down upon, and
vas, In fact, a slave. In many
tries he could not leave the manor
lpon which he was born, and was
~suhjected to any prIyations or indiG-
lities that the owner Of the land felt
ike affecting him with. Then, with
civilization, the tiller OF the soil
cdLlb 10 DG IGSOR ALEGu as an ALIpOl-
:ant factor In the prosperity Of his
ountry, and began to receive more
consideration, until within the last
century he has come TO the front,
chiefly because Of the high place he
1as won for himself In our country.
The American farmer won his place
IS one who must be recognized as the
cornerstone OF prosperity, and from
lis success the farmers OF all the
civilized world have protlted. 1t isa
1oble calling, and 1t is to b. hopel
that the workers Of our country will
never be so blind to their own inter-
.sts as to begin to despise farm work.
There are places on thousands Of
arms for men to work at a calling
that is no harder than many that are
found In the FORCES and factors Of the
arge cities, and II every farmer who
needs a hired hand could fnd one

New York, May 29.-Authorities of
Jamaica. L. l., are investigating a case
of cruelty of which the annals of Long
Island apear to hold no equal.
All through the winter a woman was
confined in a cabin Of a disused scow.
which stands in the mud at the edge of
Jamaica bay. She had little to wear,
little to eat and no fire.
There was no bed on which the wo-
man could rest. The cabin was in al
most perpetual darkness and the sud
den glare Of the sun when the unfor-
tunate woman was taken out almost
blinded her.
Bodily and Mentally Affected.
She is bodily and mentally affected
and is now in the Emergency hospital
in Jamaica, and her husband is being
sought by the authorities
The case was brought to the atten-
ton of the deputy sheriff, Mr.. Sebas-
tan Hestach, and he started at once
to investigate.
The story was that the woman was
confined in a scow in Goose creek, near
"the stumps" in the bay. The place is
occupied by fishermen of the lower
class. In one hovel lives Paul Kemn
He is a fisherman AZ years old. His
home is dirty and dark, but still as
/ good as any of those in the vicinity
There Kemn lived with his six children,
all girls. The eldest is Is years old and
is married. Kemn made a living by
/ fishing and was away from home most
of the time. Deputy Hestach went to
the house. broke in the cabin door and
! stepped inside. He discovered the wo-
man lying on pile of damp rags in
/ the corner. She was almost naked
! The rags on which she lay were damp
where water had soaked through the
| bottom of the boat.
Filthy Beyond Description.
Hestach procured help and had the
woman carried from the cabin. She
was hurried to the hospital and was too
weak upon arriving to permit a thor
ough examination.
| The condition of her body was be-
yond description To all appearances
| the woman was black when she en-
! tered the hospital, not having washed
| for a long time An application OF
warm water and soap resulted in show
| ing that her original color was white
i but the filth had SO worked into the
skin 1t was impossible to get it all out.
| The woman became insane two years
ago During her illness, she has never
once had the benefit of a, doctors at
tention. She was put into the cabin
about six months ago and remained
| there through the winter. She was fed
| twice a day and provided with nothing
J to drink except what was carried to her
with her meals. She is thirty-eight
years old. The eldest daughter is about
half that age. The other girls are
fourteen, nine, six and three years old
respectively. Overseer of the Poor
Wyckoff took charge of the children.
! Almost Naked Children.
1t was necessary to procure a Gov
cred wagon to transfer the girls, as
they had on little clothing.
A warrant was sworn out for Kemn
but up to late last evening it had not
been served.
The officers charged with arresting
him waited until dark for him. 1t is
thought he learned of the rescue of his
wife and fed.
