he raised enough money to reach NeT

The most prominent "class in SMELL
ing" in the United States is the Board
of Geographic Names. 1t consists of
ten experts, selected from the various
departments and scientific bureaus in
Washington, who meet monthly for
the purpose of deciding how disputed
geographic names should be spelled.
Their decision is adopted by the gov
ernment for all its publications, by the
textbook writer's also; and the news
paper editors usually accept their con-
clusions. Upon the organization of
this board in 1890, 1t adopted certain.
general principles. These are somet
times carried out by postoffice clerks so
mechanically as to bring upon the
board criticism II does not deserye.i
For example, the board decided that
wherever 1t could be judiciously done,
names of two words, such as Middle
Branch, should be written as one word
-Middlebranch. This rule, which was
wise when used with good judgment.
became absurd when, in Interpreting
1t, n postal officer decided that West
Palm Beach should be spelled West
palmbeach. A compromise has been
made, and West Palmbeach adopted
instead. Other decisions of the board
are that the final "h' in such a word
as Pittsburgh should be dropped. Also
the ugh In such word as Marlbor-
ough, and the possessive form wher-
ever practicable. The theory of the
Doard is to secure uniformity and SIM
plicity, not to reform the. language.

than the potato and Is twenty-five times
more nutritious than good white bread.
This fact has induced the French Gov
ernment to send a commission to the
United States and Central America
with n view OF investigating the
adaptability of the banana plant for
extensive agricultural operations In the
Congo in the production of cheap food
for the working classes in Belgium.
Should this commission report favor.
ably ON the subject Of their investiga-
ton, q new and vast industry will be
established which interests the United
States closely, from the fact that Porto
Rico and Cuba possess hundreds OF
thousands Of acres on which the finest
varieties of the banana can be success
fully grown. 1t is highly probable that
another industry will grow up from the
association OF this country with the
West Indies. The banana in its candied
form Is delicious sweetmeat. Many
people prefer 1t infinitely to dried fgs.
1t is simply made.
The ripe banana is cut into thin slices
and laid in the tropical sun until 1T be-
comes sweet, semi- -gelatnous mass.
The pieces are packed in boxes, with a
dusting Of fine sugar between each
layer and are ready for shipment. The
process, though not elaborate, requires
care and watchfulness, without which
the product may be inferior and unat-
tracttve. But If the curing and packing
are properly done and the cured fruit
Is put OIL the American market, 1t Is not
improbable that It viii soon lake the
place Of the fig for dessert purposes.
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1899-11-10

There Is nothing at all incompatible
with wishing surgeons and doctors well
and entertaining at the same time n
violent loathing for the unclvilized boor
who, while eating banana ON the
street, thoughtlessly lets the treacher-
Gus peel drop just where, with the reck-
less depravity natural to inanlmate
things, it can best trip up the pedes-
trian. Fruit is good, eating is not n
crime, surgeons must live, and people
will go afoot, but there is no necessity
for any dangerous combination of this
quartet that may be avoldable by a lit
tie thought.

A proper, legitimate and healthy In
terest in politics is one thing; a COM
plete absorption by politics of all other
questions is another. One Is to be en-
couraged, the other severely frowned
upon. There can be no doubt that "too
much politics" and too many politicians
are a serious handicap. Government is
not an end, but a means. 1t is employ
ed by the people for their conveniences;
1t is not meant they are to become the
servant to government and to those
who aspire to govern.

From the published reports Of his do
ings the young man known as the Earl
Of Yarmouth does not deserve the ILL
natured criticisms that are being di-
rected against him. His lordship is
poor, which is not at all to his discredit,
and he seeks to make an honest living,
which is distinctly to his credit. 1t is
evident that he Is far from being fool,
for he has driven a hard bargain with
the theatrical manager who has en-
ployed him. Nor can he be blamed for
utilizing his title as an asset, seeing
that it is about the only thing of value
that he possesses. We may suggest,
moreover, that the young man might
very easily have turned his patent to
nobility to more profitable use had
he chosen to sacrifice his independence
by becoming the husband of some
American young woman whose papa
was willing to buy her title as he
would buy her a pair of diamond ear
rings. All things considered, there
fore, the Earl of Yarmouth strikes us
as rather estimable young man.

crastination which matches it. Re-
