An Industry of the Future.

The banana is one of the most valu-
able food products of the earth. No
other vegetable compares with it in pro-
ductiveness, as Humboldt pointed out
and none other is as rich in pure food
constituents. Yet it is in one sense al
most neglected product. Bananas are
eaten as fruit more and more every
year, but until now hardly anything has
been attempted in the way of making a
staple meal from them, although banana
meal was known as long ago as the time
of the Montezumas.
1t has been supposed that this meal
could not be made in a manner to keep,
but recent experiments have proved
that it may.
Several governments-notably those
OF England, Germany and the United
States-have now become interested in
the question, and it is altogether likely
that within few months the manufac-
ture of banana meal will be an estab-
hshed industry in various parts of the
world.-New York World

light pruning is properly done while the
trees are comparatively small, they will
need but little when they get older.
Some varieties, OF course, need much
more cropping, pinching and thinning
than others, but they should have care
full attention while small, so that it will
never become necessary to cut off large
branches when they get older. To avoid
cutting off large branches, or having the
trees and fruit down on the ground after
bearing few crops, the branches must
he started little higher. Men are very
yrone to run to extremes. Forty and 5
pears ago nearly all trees were made t
branch very high, but during the last 20
or % years the inclination has beer
strong toward the other extreme. From
three to four feet, think is the best
height to branch apple trees. All water
sprouts should be kept rubbed off from
time to time while yet small, and all
suckers putting up from the roots should
be cut or pulled off while young and
tender. California Fruit GrOWer.

JAPANESE ClANSMEN.
Sons Who Died to Avenge Their Fathers
The Forty-seven Ronins.

SONS VINO Dled TO ANenge Their Fathers.
The Forty-seven Ronins.
No crusader of the west no viking
of the north, cherished a higher ideal
of loyalty and ,chivalry than the clans
men of old Japan; no Corsican more
ruthlessly handed down feud from
generation to generation or exacted from
son and brother the execution of a
sterner vendetta. The Satsuma men of
today triumph in the fact that their
own swords have avenged in this gem
Grafton the defeat inflicted on their fore
fathers in the year /, 600 by the Todu-
gawa clan.
Legend and drama recount every day
to eager ears the stories of sons who
died to avenge their fathers, clansmen
that they might Stay the foemen who
had caused the death of their lord. The
favorite heroes, who hold in popular
estimation the place assigned by us to
Robin Hood and his men, are the I, rob-
ms, name given to men who have
lost their Clanship.
Their lord was obliged to commit
hara kiri, or judicial suicide. for hav-
ing within royal precincts drawn his
sword on noble who had insulted him,
and these stanch vassals devoted them
selves to the destruction of the insult
er, knowing asSuredly that, having slain
him, they would be equally condemned
to take their own lives.
Still may be seen fresh incense svicks
burning before the graves of their lead
er and his young son and visiting cards
stuck into the little tablets above them
as tokens of the respect in which they
are held by those who know their story
and deplore their doom.
Mr.. Black records that at a review
OF British troops in 1864 at Yokohama
great daimio was watching with in
terest the maneuvers of their regiments
and batteries of artillery stationed there.
At the conclusion he was asked to al
low the escort of his retainers who had
accompanied him to go through their
drill and tactics, to which he readily
consented.
Turning to Sir Rutherford Alcock,
who was inspecting the troops, he proud
ly said
My retinue is small, and their tao
tics are not worthy of notice after what
we have seen, but there is not one man
among them who, if say die will not
unhesitatingly sacrifice his life at my
command. Nineteenth Century.

tanned, at trihing cost, at almost any
tin shop. For writing upon these labels
a sharp awl should be used, and the
pressure should be hard enough to cut
through the tin. Exposure to the
weather will soon cause the iron under
meath to rust. This will make the
writing legible, and it will remain SO for
many years. This label is easily attached
to the tree by turning the narraw end
once around one OF the small side shoots
from main branch.
While it is important that every tree
that is set in the orchard should De
labeled, this work should be supple
mented by an accurate record in MEM
orandum book. Even where great
deal OF care is taken to make them
legible and durable, labels sometimes
become either indistinct or are lost. A
book record is much more reliable, and
1t has the added advantages that it can
be consulted at any time and with but
little difficulty; that it shows how many
trees, of each variety that is represented,
the orchard contains; and also that it
indicates in what year the tree was
transplanted.
