From Chambers journal.
In the West indies the dried leaves and
prepared portions of the stem are used
as packing materials. Fresh leaves are
used to shade young coffee or cacao seeG-
lings in nursery beds and to cover cacao
beans during fermentation. The young
unopened leaves are so smooth and soft
that they are used as dressing for bis
ters. In India the dried stalk of the plan
tain leaf is used as a rough kind of Irvine,
and the larger parts are made into small
boxes for holding snuff, drugs, etc.
In the Malay peninsula the ash Of the
leaf and leaf stalk is used instead Of
soap or fullers earth in washing clothes,
ana a solution of the ash is often used az
salt in cooking. in the Dutch Indies the
skin of the plantain Is used for blackening
shoes. The juice which flows from all
cut parts of the banana is rich in tannin,
and OF so blackening a nature that IL
may be used as an indelible marking ink.
In Java the leaves of the wax banana"
are covered on the under side with
white powder, which yields a valuable
wax, clear and hard and whitishi forming
an important article Of trade. The ashes
of the leaves, stem and fruit rind are en-
ployed in Bengal in many dyeing pro-
cesses. In Siam cigarette wrapper is
made from the leaves.
Fiber is got from the stems of many
kinds of bananas. The most valuable is
the Manila hemp Of commerce, which
holds the chief place for making white
ropes and cordage Old ropes made of 1t
form an excellent paper making material
much used in the United States for stout
packing papers. Inc Manila nemp IN
dustry is a large one. About $1,000 tons of
fiber. valued at 100000 are annually ex-
ported from the Philippine Islands. The
Manila hemp plant is grown exelus-
lively in the southeastern part of the Phil
ippines, and all attempts to grow IL else
where have failed Many articles are made
from Manila hemp-mats, cords, hats,
plated work, lace handkerchiefs of the
finest texture. and various qualities of
paper. At Wohlau, in Switzerland, an in
dustry has been started for making lace
and materials for ladies' hats from it..

CLOTHING AT HALF PRICE.
The Unheard Of Bargains Offered at Mar.
tin 4 Dclany's Sule.

The big sacrifice sale Of clothing con-
tinues at Martin & Delany's on Wyo-
ming avenue, and Is attracting large
crowds Of purchasers who are securing
some rare bargains in the clothing line.
The recent cold weather necessitated
bringing out large quantity of the
winter goods, overcoats, ulsters and
suits that We're purchased for the fall
trade and were in the basement at the
time Of the failure. These goods were
not shown to the public before, as
there was no call for them but they are
going very fast now. They comprise
all the stock of Martin & Delany. and
are OF the best grade. They are being
sold now at the same low prices that the
rest of the stock was offered at. The
discount on them vary from 25 per
cent. to so per cent, and today We have
added another counter Of boys suits at
one-half what Martin & Delany sold
them at. Come and see for yourself be-
fore they are all gone. Never was goods
offered to the public at such unheard
of prices. Clothing at half price to the
people Of Scranton means something. =

were on their way to church, the oc-
cupants OF the vehicle being young
ladies'. McDade drove along with a
heavier vehicle, and. in passing the
plaintiffs equipage out, took wheel
off,"
He never stopped to inquire, but drove
on to the house OF worship. AS soon
as Cummlnsky met McDade, he asked
him why he did 1t. and asked what he
proposed to do about. McDade asked
what Cumminsky proposed to do. and
was told that he would send the bill
to him after the wagon was fixed. and
expected him to pay for II. The bill
of the wheelwright was $3.15, and when
1t was rendered McDade refused to pay
1t, hence the suit.
Alderman Wright gave Judgment for
the plaintiff. and Attorney John i.
Scragg. for the defendant, Immediately
got out n ccrtlorari and brought the
case to court. The costs already are
over $40. and had to be paid by the
defendant. He proposes to fight It out

that the action against him was ac-
tuated by spite. He claims that the
collision was pure accident.

BEEF COMES HIGH JUST NOW.
Scarcity of Primo Cattlo and Dear Feed
tho Chief Causes.

"A scarcity in prime beef prevails
again. The meat market has not yet
recovered from the wholesale slaughter
last year of prime cattle in consequence
of the great lack of feed. The demand
for flrst-class meat has been all along
greater than the supply and the nat
ural result Is the present high prices for
good qualities.
1t will take year or two to get the
supply up to the demand again. The
big four combination-Phil Armour,
Nelson Morris. the lSwifts and the Ham,
monds-control an immense market in
cattle. but even the manipulators could
hardly produce the present conditions.
A good deal of prime beef has been
shipped to England because prime cat
tie is the only kind that can stand
the trip 1t Is all attributable to scare
ity, nothing more. The demand Is
greater than the supply and prices are
regulated accordingly.

about 26 years of age. His face IL a

His attire is neat and clerical, and at

very far from one mentally unsound.
He will answer questions and ask them

mentioned it drives him into state Of
absolute lunacy and violence.
