"The small banana planter of Hon

earth," said a local shipper, "aL@
nothing ever moves him from his
philosophic calm. The frightful hurri-
cane which ragged along the Hon
duranian coast on the 1st Of the month
absolutely destroyed scores of little
plantations. The trees were plucked
out of the earth like blades of grass,
the fragile buildings were blown into
kindling wood, and nothing whatever
left to tell the tale.
Happening anywhere else, such
disaster would have been tragedy of
the first order and meant incalculable
suffering; but nature is very kind to
her children on the banana coast. All
that is necessary to rehabilitate the
ravaged plantations is to stick a few
clippings in the ground and wait for
them to take root and bear. The work
is usually divided between the planter
and his wife-she sets out the clip
pings and he does the waiting. Some
time during the year, if he is not too
tired, he may rebuild his residence.
This is done by tying a native rope
around four suitable trees and laying
cane stalks crosswaYs over the top.
"Other cane stalks are now and then
used for sides, but they are leally un-
necessary, as the Hsndurian concep-
ton of privacy is very vague, aud
there is never anything to steal. So,
as a matter of fact, the hurricane was
much less calamitous than it appeared
to those who are unfamiliar with ma
tive conditions. The principal loss
which it entailed was in damage to
the present banana crop, and the fruit
grows with such rapidity that three
months ought to completely repair it.
Meantime the planter does quantities
of resting and is happy. New Or

Roberta B. Nelson gives very good
idea of the magnificent display of
Henry VIII of England and Philip
of France when they met in good-fel-
lowship on the plain of Cuisines, $50
years ago.
The king retinue had-been selected
from the noblest of the kingdom.
Wolsey, with his three hundred fol-
lowers, headed the escort, and was
followed by dukes, earls, barons, bish-
ops, and knights, with their retainers.
The escort numbered four thousand
horsemen, not including the queens
escort, numbering nearly two thou
sand persons and light hundred horses.
The French king had an equally splen-
did retinue. King Henry and his
great cavalcade were aken, on arrival
at Cuisines, to the magnificent palace
provided by Wolsey. There was an
old palace there, and Wolsey had es-
tablished himself in that, and erected
one for his king. The palace was the
most beautiful place imaginable; it
had SO many glazed windows that it
looked as though built of crystal, and
much of the woodwork, both inside
and out, was covered with gold. All
the way from the gate to the door
were rows of silver statues. Inside
the walls of the chambers and halls
were hung with magnificent tapestry
embroidered in gold, and the ceilings
were draped with white silk.
But Henry was not to spend all of
his time in his fine palace, for tents
had been erected on the plain, and in
these the two kings and their suites
were to lodge. The tents of the French
king were pitched just outside the
walls of the town of Ardres, and ex-
tended almost to the tents of King
Henry.
The tents in which the two queens
were lodged were covered with cloth
of gold, as were also the tents of the
ladies in attendance upon them, and
of all members of the royal families.
The effect was dazzling. Beautiful
pavilions, hung with cloth of gold,
dotted the plain; banners foated
everywhere; fountains of wine spouted
in the bright June sunshine; horses,
decorated with futtering ribbons,
pranced about gaiy, So gorgeous

than one-half the expense of a meat

that meat contains sixty per cent. of
impure water, which they pay for at
the tutcher's at so much a pound,
and that one pound of peas, beans,
lentils or oatmeal, at a cost of two to
four cents, contains more nourish-
ment than a pound of beef OF mutton
at six times the price, because in the
former case, water is added, which
costs nothing, while in the latter it is
purchased at about twenty cents q
pound. In support of the contention
that meat is not necessary even for
those who do the hardest manual
labor, it is asserted that the athletes
of Greece and the soldiers Of Rome
were vegetarians, and that the chief
food of the Roman gladiator was bar
ley cakes and oil.

The California Lakes,

OF all the treasures and surprises
California holds, none so enchant the
travellers eye as the glacier lakes. Set
in the canons and mountains of the
Sierra, they seem like rare gems
sparkling i'll the golden rays of the
sun.
One of the most striking and inter-
esting is the beautiful Shadow lake,
which lies eight miles from the Yose-
mite Valley, 1850 feet above the sea.
1t is very small, being about half
mile long, and one-fourth of a mile
wide, and SO feet deep. 1t is sur
rounded by towering cliffs, which are
reproduced on the CLASSY surface of
the lake.
The rugged south wall is feathered
along the top with silver frs, and the
passes which lead to the shore are
dotted with picturesque jumpers.
Another beautiful spot is Orange
lake, which lies mile and half to
the northwest of Shadow lake. 1t is
even smaller than the first-named, but
i'll its wild beauty, it seems like fairy
rendezvous. 1t is bordered by trees
and shrubs of various kinds, back of
which the bare grim granite rises,
making a suitable framing for the
picture.
It's feeding streams are very shall
low, and flowing noiselessly along the
cliffs, fall into the lake below.
One which must be mentioned is
the Lake Starr King, which, instead
of being encircled by the narrowing of
trees like Orange lake, lies buried in
dense forest.
Strange to say, fishes are not found
in any of these lakes, but down in
their still blue depths are the larvae
of numberless insects and beetles,
while the air above is thick with hum
ming wings. Detroit Free Press.

Sitting on the Floor.

1t is the custom of nearly every
young girl to sit on the floor while
putting on her shoes. Indeed, many
women keep up the habit to middle
age, though full-fedged womanhood
not infrequently displays such embon-
point as would make such course
difficult. Even in the case of stout
woman, according to the statement of
an English physician, sitting on the
floor is advisable, as giving exercise
such as those. Of portly dimensions
are much in need. The medical man
asserts that position on the floor or
ground is more natural than that occu-
pied while using chair. "It was once
general with the human race" says
he, "and should therefore be very
healthy. The exercise of getting up
and down is beneficial, as it is very
apt to produce strong back and thigh
muscles. Turks, tailors, and shoe
makers are examples of this fact. If
YOU sit on the floor you can change
your attitude as often as you please
and can enjoy variety of pose, as no
matter how you may alter 1t, there is
never any danger of falling Off The
influx of visitors need never cause
anxiety to the well constructed mind.

HONESTY
is THE
BEST Policy.
= By ANNE C. HYATT-WooLF

A merchant of Constantinople went
to the baths, as is the custom in Tur-
key, before morning prayers. After
performing his ablutions, ON his way
to the mosque he lost in the street his
purse. Devoutly he said his prayers,
and it was not until he was leaving
the mosque that he became aware of
his loss. At once he sent for the town
crier.
81 have lost my purse, he said; ''it
contains 200 gold pieces; proclaim my
loss throughout the city, and whoever
brings it back to me shall be rewarded
with one-half it's contents
The crier did as he was bid. A sailor
had found the purse, and when he
heard to whom it belonged, immedi-
ately he took it to the merchant, glee-
fully anticipating the rich reward that
he thought was to be his. He gained
admittance to the merchants house !;
Immediately he saw him he produced
the purse, saying, "Here is your
purse, with 200 gold pieces inside"
"Ah, let my see" calculated the
merchant. He counted the money,
and found there was exactly the sum
the man stated, the amount he had
lost. ''You are thief!' said the mer-
chant.
''What! you dare to call me a
thief when you have just counted your
gold in front of me, and found there
precisely the 200 pieces, just as the
crier proclaimed?"
''Yes, / shall say that you are a
thief!'' calculated the merchant. SIN
my purse there were two emerald ear
rings, and they are not there now.
Restore them to me at once OF I will
have you imprisoned.
'sIt is false; there were no earrings
in your purse" shouted the sailor,
angrily.
And what the sailor said was true,
but the merchant thought that by ac-
cusing him of theft to trighten him so
that hewould go away and hide, and
by this base device he hoped to save
his 100 gold pieces.
''You have stolen my emerald ear.
rings. Give them up to me at once,
or l will take you before the kadi, "
repeated the merchant, who, having
once told the lie, thought he must
stick to it.
Again the sailor again stoutly denied
this wicked accusation, and demanded
the promised reward The merchant,
seeing that this was not man to be
frightened into silence, and feeling
every moment thath he delayed less and
less inclined to part with his money,

According to correspondent of the
Gaulois the garrison at Toulon has
just been treated to a remarkable
spectacle. A soldier of the Eighth
regiment of marines, under the infu-
ence of drink or discomfort, or both,
insulted the national flag. He was
duly reported, and the matter was
finally brought to the notice of the
general, who saw the opportunity for
grand patriotic display. All the
troops of the garrison were formed in
hollow square on the parade ground,
with the flag in the middle. Then the
general called upon the luckless piou-
piou by name. He fell out of the
ranks, marched to the flag, saluted it,
and uttered faltering apology. "It
is WELL" exclaimed General CoYon-
nat, "but if this man had not shown
his repentance, one of the picked es-
cort of the colors was ready, sword in

But as for me, as long as I've
My pillow meath my head
You'll never find me sitting up
When should be in bed.
For when whack it with my fist.
To make it sort of soft,
And lie face downward, then l see
More stars that glow aloft;
And every star that lies therein
Holds lots of wondrous things,
Like big parades, and circuses,
And animals, and kings.
And some are filled with brownies bold
Who prank with main and might;
Another's filled with peek-a-boos,
Who peeI-a-boo all night.
So why should prefer to sit
Downstairs, a sleepy-head,
When can soc these wondrous things
Whene'er go to bed?

THE OLD GARRETT.

Swing ajar the gar ct door,
How the rusty hinges creak
p use before you venture DER
The old threshold. worn and weak,
Comes, as oft such questions will
Who knows what's beyond the sill?
Here all things are plain to see
There all things are mystery,
Where old treasures are shut fast
In the storehouse of the past.
From the rafters overhead
Wi hered herbs, In dusty rows
Hang like branches sere and dead:
But whene'er a soft wind blows
Through the windows broken pane
Faint, sweet fragrances again
From their leaves are shaken free,
AS an od-time memory
In the cobwebbed minds of men
Stirs, and tries to live again.
Here the spiders web is spun
In the dust and in the gloom.
Here are woven, one by one,
In a viewless, noiseless loom,
Fabrics ut for fairy wear,
Frail as frost and quite as fair,
Showing patterns rarer far
Than those Of oil laces are
When light from heavens blue
Shines the silken meshes through,
In that shadowy corner stands
An old cradle, and it seems
Slowly rocked by phantom hands
While baby sleeps and dreams
On pillow long Impressed,
And lullaby of rest
Trembles softly through the gloom
OF this memory-haunted room,
From the lips that long ago
Turned to dust where grlve-howers
grow
In that old, worm-eaten chest,
What quaint things are stored away!
Stomacher and 'broidered vest
Satin gown and wig of gray.
l can fancy phantom folk
Dancing at the midnights stroke,
In the garments hidden here
For who knows how many year2
Twere an eerie sight to see
Their grim, ghostly revelry.
Almost hidden from the sight
By the wreckage of the past
In the dim and dusty light
From the cobwebbed window cast
Shows mirror, and therein
Many ghost of what has been
Seems to rise and swiftly pass
Like a shadow Ter the glass,
In the depths of it SEQ
Things that almost frighten me.
Faces mouldered Into dust
Long ago look out at me
FIR IN the tarnshed frame, whose rust
Mocks at human vanity,
AS a shadow forms, for they
Form, and fade, and pass away,
Like the ripple on stream,
Or the fancy Of dream,

The procession of the past.

For it somehow seems to me

Timothy J.

There are, he adds, more and better prospects than he has ever found CT seen in any district within the range of his experience, and MT. Driscoll has been among the mining camps accord ing to his own confession, gh on forty years.''
 Lead, tco, exists in considerable abundance and is accompanied by gocd silver values, with some gold says MT. D1iscoll. In one proposition into which he looked he found gold ores running from S45 to $35O per ton in that metal, while in addition to the high grade is good cyaniding proposition. Indeed, lc has been demonstrated that as much as go per cent may be saved by this pro cess.

A SUICIDE AT CLIFTON
Frank Hooker Shoots Himself
 Through inc Head.

At Il o'clock Christmas Eve. at Cliff ton, Frank Hooker, a clerk in the em- ploy of w F. Hagan, locked himself in ths store, and, seating himself at the desk, he wrote a letter to his friends, telling them where to find his body, and, going to the rear end of the store, he seated himself on his bed and plac- ing a 45-calibre siX-shOOter to his fore head blew his brains out.
 Frank Hooker had worked for MT. H3gan occasionally for the past two years, and was well liked by all who knew him, says the SOlOmOnville Bull letin. He was also well known through the valley, and at enc time was a cow boy in the employ of the Double Circle ranch on Eagle creek. In the letter h 2 left h. told them where to find his bOiy in the cellar, but evidently changed his mind and seated himself on his bed, where he committed suicide. He also spoke of some trouble he had with Billy Irwin, fellow-clerk in the store, but declared that Irwin was the best friend he had Cn earth, and that MT. Hagan was the best man he ever work d for. He concluded: T am tired Of living; that's all, and you will find my body in the cellar"
 No one heard the report of the gun in the store, and it was not until next
