ity from the commission under the proviso
clause Of the fourth section of the law
When rates are relatively unjust so that
undue preference is afforded to one locality

awning Fishes,

1t is not generally known that fish
yawn. The writer saw n turbot yawn
twice and cod once, the latter being
one of the widest yawns accomplished
by any animal of its SIZE The yawn of
turbot, being something not common
~ seen, deserves particular description.
A turbot's mouth is twisted on one
side, rather as if it had belonged to
round fish which some one had accident
ally trod on and squashed half flat. The
yawn begins at tho lips, which opens as
if to suck in water. Then the jaws be-
come distended, and it is seen that this
is going to be real. genuine subma-
rine fish syawn. But the yawn goes on,
works through the back of its head, dis
tending the plates of the skull and
comes out at the gills, which open, show
tho red inside, are inflated for mo-
,nent, and then. with kind of stretch
ing shiver of its back, the fish fiattens
out again, until, if unusually bored, it
relieves itself by another yawn

The American people will not eat ba-
nanas this year. The fruitimporters
have discovered this. to their surprise and
disgust, and were very much worried at
first over the cause. Why have the peo-
pie given up bananas they asked, anx-
iously New Orleans supplies nearly all
the West and South with bananas and
other tropical fruit, and is the largest i'm
porter in this country. But bananas have
sold so badly of late that the importers
have cut down the number of vessels
running to Central America one.half.
The American people have not lost their
taste for the tropical banana, but the
latter has been knocked out by the big
apple crop OF the West. With apples at
seventy-fve cents barrel the banana has
no show, for the average man eats about
the sape amount of fruit each year. and
prefers the cheapest. 1t is apples this
year to suit the hard times, but it may be
bananas next season SO, at least the
importers hope. HaYbel's U'eehly.
