New York, Nov 27.-A Herald spe-
cial from Washington says: President
| Cleveland has been devoting a great
deal of time to his annual message dur
ing the past week and now has it is well
| in hand, SO that it can be finished in
couple OF days.
This message is expected to be one of
the ablest public documents Mr.. CIeve-
land has written during his two terms.
1t will be, in a sense, his farewell to the
American people as their chief execu-
tive, and there is little doubt that he will
embrace the opportunity to mark out
the course he believes ough. to be fol-
lowed by the national government for
the maintenance and and advancement
of the honor and prosperity of the coun-
try.
Foreign affairs will naturally claim
considerable attention and the president
will have an opportunity 20 congratu-
late congress and the country upon :he
solution of the Venezuelan boundary
controversy in manner honorably and
alike to the United States
and to Great Britain and Venezuela.
The condition of affairs in Turkey will
be discussed in detail, and the presi-
dent will be able to show that the ordi-
nary diplomatic agencies have suficed
for the protection of American life and
property in the Turkish empire.
The last paragraphs of the message
70 be written will be those dealing with
the situation in Cuba. He will avail
of the latest possible informa-
ion as to the military situation in the
Sland. and the prospects for the early
uccess or failure of the insurgents may
rave much to do with shaping his
policy. Present indications are that he
will make no radical recommendations
m this subject.
Although there is no prospect for en-
ciment of any revenue or financial
egisla'ion during the rest of his term,
lr. Cleveland is understood to be pre-
airing for an elaborate discussion of
lese subjects and will recommend
'gislation which he believes, if carried
NJ, will put the treasury and the fnan-
al system of the country on a ound
asis.
The president will doubtless express
Is approval of recommendation for in
easing the revenue by imposing reve-
ne duties on tea and coffee and in
easing the internal revenue tax on
,er.
The financial reform recommendations
the message will be along the lines
Mr.. Cleveland's former suggestions
q VIII have as their basis the advo-
cy OF the single gold standard as the
lndation OF the monetary system of
E country.
The retirement of the greenbacks and
sherman notes will be recommen-
at the same time, to enable the
1ks OF the country to issue circulating
les which will be safe and which can
expanded or contracted in volume RI
ct the needs of the business of the
lntry.
lr. Cleveland is alive to the necessi.
d continuing the expansion of the
y and of constructing coast defenses
'ut the country In position to resist
eign aggressions, and the recon-
ndations on these lines made by Sec.
lries Lamont and Herbert in their
ual reports will be seconded in the
sage.

WHAT ALLIED TOMMY

NOBODY knew. Grandma looked
IN at mother, and mother looked at
grandma, and Bridget said: "What
can be wrong with the child, mum 2"
Tommy was always SO full of life,
so happy = the great fact about
Tommy had always been that he did
not seem able to keep still, even for
minute. But now Tommy had been
sitting in a chair and had not spoken
for at least ten minutes. Ten min
utes of quiet, unless he was asleep,
was a long time in Tommy's life.
Grandpa was reading his paper,
and he put it down and looked at
Tommy. "Are you keeping still on
wager'" he asked. He thought
perhaps Uncle John, who was a ner-
vous man, had offered Tommy some
money if he would sit down and not
speak a word for certain length of
time.
Tommy said; mo, SIR"
What ails you, thenp
Nothing"
Grandpa put his glasses on again
and went on reading his paper.
There was something about the revi-
val of trade that interested him; he
didn't seem to feel so worried about

the back stairs again, and Tommy
bathed his face and hands and
brushed his hair, and he looked like
an entirely different boy. He went
down the front stairs with bound,
just as he had always done before,
and played with the dog, and every
minute he stopped to give Oracle a
kiss. Grandpa looked up over his
paper, and grandma smiled at mann
ma, and Bridget looked in through
the door and said: "God bless the
byel Shure, he's himself again"
And the chore-boy whistled in the
kitchen and threw an armful of wood
in the wood-box and said: "What's
the matter with Tommy? Oh, he's
all right"
Yes, Tommy was all right and he
says he'll never play tricks on any
body again if Sam White does ask
him to- Western Rural.

THE FRUITS OF THE EARTH.

"Will," said Uncle Jack, as he handed
the boys hat he had
brought for them, what fruit do you
like best?"
Bananas, sir"
II thought so. Now, the question is,
what do you children know about ban
anas?"
IL know they grow in hot countries"
said Joe; land think they grow in the
woods"
"Some kinds do grow in the woods"
replied Uncle Jack. but the fruit of
wild banana plants is almost always too
bitter to eat. That which is good to eat
is the fruit of trees planted in gardens
or in fields.
"a great many shoots come from the
roots of the old trees. These are cut off
and set in the ground. just as we start
geraniums and rose trees. Pretty soon
| the young shoots send up two long
| leaves. They are curled so tightly to-
gether that they look just like round
| stick. After awhile the leaves unfold
and they hang down like branches.
| Other leaves grow out, curled just as
tight as the first. These soon uncurl
and bend down, and others grow in their
place. Then the plant really begins to
look like tree; but the trunk is not
hard wood like the oak or the pine; it is
nothing but leaf stems packed closely
| together. At the end of nine months a
deep purple appears in the center of the
leaves. Pretty soon it grows out and
hangs down. 1t looks like great pur-
pie heart. AT last it opens. and there
are set rings and rings of bright little
buds arranged around the stem. Soon
each bud bursts into yellow blossom.
| Then comes the fruit. At first each
banana is only tiny green pod; but it
grows and grows till the cluster is very
heavy.
"How heavy?" asked Will.
"Oh, as heavy as you are, WILL"
"Ninety-one pounds?"
Eyes. Each banana weighs very little
by itself; but sometimes there are sew
eral hundred bananas on one stem.
"a great many are picked while they
are still green. II they were not. we
should never have them here. They
would not keep long enough. When
gathered they are put in cool place or
buried in the earth until they are taken
on the steamer to be brought to New
York or Halifax"
What becomes of the tree, sir?"
"Oh. when it has born its cluster of
fruit the poor thing withers away; the
big stem and the great leaves die; but
the roots still live; and all around the
dead stem come up the young shoots, or
baby plants, which, as told you, are
saved to plant again"
"Do people in hot countries eat many
bananas, Uncle Jack?' asked Will.
Thousands of people live almost en-
tirely on them, Will, just as people in
some countries live on potatoes and
others on rice. They have bananas for
| breakfast, dinner and tea. Sometimes
the people of South America cut the
fruit into strips. then dry it in the sun.
grind it and make -four from it."
Fancy having banana biscuit for
breakfast" whispered Will.
THE young Shoots" concluded Uncle
Jack. that come up from the roots of
the dead trees are eaten as greens. like
dandelions. The leaves have watery
juice, which is used to dye white cloth.
1t makes it brown or black. The long,
tough threads of the leaves are woven
into beautiful kind of cloth called
grass cloth."-Our Sunday Afternoon
