BEWARE THE THIN BANANA.
Tt was Picked Too Soon and win Always
Prove Puckery and sour.

It Was Picked Too Soon and VIII always
Prove Puclxery and sour.
When you are buying bananas, never
purchase the long thin ones unless you
want fruit which will quicker your
mouth. No matter how well ripened
these thin bananas may appear to be
they will always be found both sour and
acrid. This is because the bunch which
contained them was picked toe soon.
The banana grows fastest at first in
length. When it has reached its full
development in that direction, it sud
denly begins to swell and in few days
will double in girth. 1t is at the end of
this time that it begins to ripen natu-
rally, and the effort of the banana i'm
porter is to have the fruit gathered at
the last possible moment, and yet before
the ripening has progressed even enough
to tinge the bright green of the fruit
with yellow. A difference of "a hours
on the trees at this time will make
difference in the weight Of the fruit Of
perhaps 20 per cent, and all the differ
enee in its final flavor, between a puck
cry sour and the sweetness and smooth
ness which are characteristic of the ripe
fruit. To get the bananas to our market
in good condition requires fast steamers,
which must be provided with ventila-
ton and other means Of keeping the
fruit from ripening too fast in the hold.
Much of the finest fruit does ripen in
the few days of passage, and this is sold
to hucksters for street sale.-New York

HOW SHE DID IT.
Girl Cashiers Mind Reading Methods OF
Making Change.

Making Change
The girl cashier of Madison street
restaurant was for three weeks believed
BY one of the customers to be lineal
descendant of Morgan lie Fay and to
have some of the family traits OF Heller,
the second sight magician, fer she
seemed to know by intuition or instinct
or something else what was the price OF
the meal he had consumed and also just
the amount of money III his hand when
he approached to pay. He first noticed
that when he presented 3 30 cent check
she Immediately laid upon the rubber
mat dime and nickel which she had
been holding for change.
"How, this man inquired of him
self, "did she know that 5 cents would
be the correct change? There was no
earthly way for her to tell what money
was going to offer her either. How
did she come to have the exact change
ready without a second S delay or with
out having to go to the cash register for
it?'' He could not answer to his own
satisfaction.
The next day he bought DO cent
meal, and she promptly laid a niokle
before him, the cent piece being the
only coin she held in her hand. 1t was
the correct amount, as he gave her
half dollar. He experimental several
times afterward and at last appealed to
her for information.
'tWhy," she said, didn't you ever
notice the tint of your check?" When |
see you coming 20 feet away, I know
by the slate colored check that you have
eaten 20 cents worth. # you have
red ticket that warns me that you want
to pay for a two bit meal A blue one
means 80 cents. This yellow one is, Of
course, for 40 cents. The amount is
printed upon the check, but the color
is my warning.
Eyes, said the other, somewhat re-
lieved, "that seems easy. But still my
money is not of different eolofs. How
do You know what change to have
ready? That's mind reading, sure, "
mot at all. When you come with
quarter ticket you will usually give me
the exact change or half dollar. I
have a quarter ready for you in my left
hand in case you give me half. Sup
pose your ticket is a 30 cent one; you II
either give me the correct amount or
half dollar--or perhaps dollar With
10 cents in one hand and so cents in
the other I'm ready for any demonstra-
tion almost. Chicago Record.

FOOD WASTED IN COOKING.
Lire Sustaining Value of Meat and vege-
tables Lost Through Ignorance.


A series Of investigations by experts
connected with the United States de-
partment of agriculture go to show that
there is an immense amount of popular
ignorance in the matter of cooking;
that, while the greater part of the food
of man is prepared for use by cooking,
yet the changes which various foods I'M
dergo during the process and the losses
which are brought about have been but
little studied. Few persons know, for
instance, that in 100 pounds of uncooked
cabbage there are but ~ pounds of dry
matter, and of this dry matter from AZ
to pounds are lost in the cooking pot.
Experiments with potatoes showed that
in order to obtain the highest food value
potatoes should not be peeled before
cooking; that when potatoes are peeled
before cooking the least loss is sustained
by putting them directly into hot water
and boiling as. rapidly as possible.
Even then the loss is very considerable.
If potatoes are peeled and soaked IN
cold water before boiling, the loss of
nutrients is very great, being one-fourth
al d1i tii0 dlDuIlGuUlu IudOb6I. LII u
bushel of potatoes the loss would be
equivalent to pound of sirloin steak.
Carrots contain less nitrogen, but rela-
lively more albumenoid nitrogen than
potatoes, and therefore furnish more
matter available for building muscular
tissues. In order to preserve the greatest
amount of nutrients in the cooking of
carrots, the pieces should be large rather
than small. The boiling should be rapid,
SO that the food value of the vegetable
shall not be impaired, as little water as
possible should be used and if the mat
ter extracted is made available as food
along with the carrots loss of 20 to
30 per cent or even more of the total
food value may be prevented. In the
cooking of cabbage the kind of water
used has more effect on the loss of nutri-
ents than the temperature of tho water
at which the cooking is started. In any
case the loss is large. The losses which
occur in the cooking Of potatoes, carrots
and cabbages vary with the different
methods of boiling followed. -Pittsburg

THE GAME OF HIS LIFE.
Showing Ones Varying View of Golf as lie
PLAYS Well or Ill.

On the links of the Island Golf club
at Garden City, N. Y, two men were
having hot game, with success about
even. They were good friends and COM
plimented each other on their good
shots and looked the other way after
foozle. just as the younger one stepped
upon the tee to drive off for the sixth
hole a very swagger cart came spinning
up the road that crosses the links near
that tee. A stunning young woman was
driving. She pulled up sharply near the
tee and called out to the man about to
drive:
George, dear, won't you come home
now and not delay luncheon?"
The man Strengthened up with an air
of disgust at the interruption and re.
piled:
mot now. I'm playing the game of
my life. "
81 wish you d come, " she said.
"No, not now" he answered. I'm
playing too we'll. / wouldn t quit this
for 90 luncheons. I'm breaking my rec
ord by ten storkes,
well, II uIlN6 up anu uOWn mere
and wait for you. she said
AS she started off George, dear, turned
to continue the game of his life. He
sliced his drive and lost the ball in the
blackberry bushes in the ravine. He
dropped new ball and lost one stroke
Then he topped the ball on the niblick
shot out Of the whir and didn't gain
three feet Finally he got out with
seven and was bunkered in the road
that crosses the field. There he lost two
more strokes and the rest of his temper.
Finally he got out of the bunker and
with o beautiful lie used his brassey for
three quarters iron and overshot the
hole by 80 yards into the tall grass.
There the ball was lost.
Ten minutes later the swagger cart
was spinning down the road at the top
speed of tie horse, the stunning young
woman sitting very erect and statu-
esque and driving with superb skill In
the back of the cart, with his heels dan
Cling and brandishing two golf clubs,
sat George, dear.
The game of his life was over New
York Sun.

Falling In Love.

SIT IS not everybody who can fall
desperately in love, y Andrew Lang de-
olares. Many a young woman knows
that she, for one, is not born heroine
We cannot all have genius for passion.
Indeed that genius is, first, rather I'M
usual, and, secondly, is apt not to be
confined to a single object. Girls ought
not to be educated in a belief in the
coup de foudre. Most of them will find
some good fellow who is much attached
to them, as they will be to him. They
will marry, if they have luck, and never
think of losing their heart, in the style
of Dido or Medea. This has always been
the prose fact of matrimony, and thus
'Hymen peoples every town.. If young
women wait for the coup de foudre and
the handsome knight who comes riding
through the forest, they will Golf st.
Katherine or lead apes in hell. Novels
prove the inadequacy of the ideal. The
heroine always loves the unsatisfactory
poet, is Tilted, meets the solid squire or
business man and finds that what she
had taken for love was. etc.-we all
know the formula-and lives happy
ever after .
