well, to make long story short, we
went to the Derby and blued every
shilling of that five quid. We never ex-
perienced worse run of luck in our
lives. 1t was a sort of judgment on

"A few days after Joe called round to
see me. AS he shook hands he laughed
so much 1 thought he had gone bit
wrong under his hat. He said, by way
of explanation, he had been to see old
Muster and the great auk's egg. 1t APP
peared he had accidentally encountered
Muster, who seemed delighted to see
him, and insisted on his going indoors.
"One Of the first things Joe's eyes Lit
ON as he entered the little front parlor
was the great auk's egg. A big hole
had been made in the side, disclosing
the fact that 1t was hollow. Been get

"Soon after Billy Muster moved from
Chaplain and took a large house up
west, where he lived for some years in
good style. When asked by his friends
where the money came from, he said
he had made very successful specula-

this mortal coil that learned that
had been fool enough to let a fortune
slip through my fingers, for that bless

This fact has induced the French Gov
eminent to send a commission to the
United States and Central America
with a 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, a new and vast industry VIII 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 thai
another industry will grow up from the
association OF this country with the
West indies. The banana in its cant1ed
form Is delicious sweetmeat. Many
people prefer 1T infinitely to dried fags.
1t is simply made.
The ripe banana liz cut into thin slices
and laid In the tropical sun until 1T be-
comes a sweet, semi- gelatinous mass.
The pieces are packed In boxes, with a
busting 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-
tractive. But If the curing and packing
are properly done and the cured fruit
Is put OH the American market, II is not
bnlproba bic that 1t will soon take the
place Of the fig for dessert purposes.

Alaskan Fishermen.

(From Harper's Round TabeJ
With his home made fishing tackle, one
native Alaskan can capture more fish in a
day than can any three white men with
their latest improved implements. The
Alaskan Indian shows his intelligence by
cliDging to his own implements and tools,
and at the same time in quietly adapting
himself to the greatly altered conditions
OF his environment. He will adopt certain
OF our customs and utensils. but refuses
to adopt many others. While ne will al
ways give you the most superstitious rea-
sons for clinging to his own time honored
tools he is quick TO decide that the spir-
its wish him to make use Of any new idea
which will be an actual benefit under ex-
isting conditions.
These Indians use Inc same fishing tackle
that Behring found them using during his
explorations of 1T41, and which George
Vancouver found during his first visit
among them as midshipmite under the ia
nous Captain Cook a few years later.
Fish are abundant. Alaskan homes are
always near some excellent fishing
grounds. a village is often situated in a
certain location simply 10 he near good
halibut banks. Hooks used in fishing for
ha!ibut are usually made of fork OF
spruce root TO which an iron bar has been
lashed. the only change from the original
being in the iron barb. which sometimes
takes the place of the one of bone used in
the primitive hook. All bait is secured
to the hook by means of small cedar
cord which is neatly lashed about the
hook when it is not in use.
Halibut feed near the bottom CT the sea
The Indian has a method, as ingenious as
1t is rude, to keep his bait where it will
be most tempting.
He VIII tie stone a few feet above the
hook on his line with slip
loop, which the halibut, in try
ing to get away. will twitch out. releas-
ing the stone and giving the Indian warn
ing thai he can draw up his fifty or a 100
pound haibut without the additional
weight OF the stone Between the hook
Whitfield i'll the shape of duck. which. in
seeking to rise to the surface draws the
hook up the proper distance from the bot
tom.
Steel hooks made after these patterns
have been on the market for many years,
but the Indian has better success with his
own.
His cords and lines are his own produc-
tion. They are made OF cedar bark. split
spruce, or keip. The cedar bark is scrap
ed from the tree with bone shaped like
a Chopping knife.
After soaking for several days. the bark
is beaten into shredS with a hammer made
also Of bone. and picked into fine threads,
which are twisted into cords by being
rubbed between the hand and the thigh.
Cords of spruce roots split and twisted are
also very strong. but those made of klein
are least valued.

papers and our public are excusab'e IN
looking upon such an explanation with
degree of surprise. We have been in the
habit of considering officers in command OF
our fleets and squadrons as not only gal
liant leaders in battle, but as trained and
safely reliable diplOmatists. The same has
been generally observable as 10 the flag
officers of the British navy. In both in
stances the exigencies of their service
have made il absolutely necessary that
naval officers of high rank should be learn
ed in international law, and as able to
successfully handle a diplomatic situation
as a sea battle. This necessity has arisen
from the peculiar relations of the United
States. under the Monroe Doctrine and
as the umpire of the Western Hemis-
phere, TO the many and often turbulent
States of Central and South America In
the case OF England, the power of initi-
ative and administration which it has been
frequently necessary to accord to naval
officers. in the course of the Empires
complex relations with colonies and bar
barous or semi mi-barbarous nations, has
tended to make all British sea comman-
dcrs skilled diplomats.
We can readily believe that, heretofore.
there has been little in the active life
of the German navy to render accomplish
ments of the kind indicated a condition
precedent to success or acceptable service.
No doubt the tendency on the part of the
navy has been to take its tone from the
army, which in Germany is not particu
larly famous for the diplomatic character
of its members who are perhaps inclined
to carry things by force rather than per-
suasion, and have not been trained TO
much except the science of war on land,
in which we must admit they lead the
world.
1t might very easily happen that an old
officer like Won Diederich would be an eX-
cellent sailor, and quite ready to uphold
the honor of his flag and Kaiser in fight
and still he at a disadvantage in circum-
stances demanding the diplomatic ability
of Won Buelow or a Won Holeben. That,
we think. has occurred to Emperor Will
helm in making the change, which GER
tanly will be regarded as an improvement.
In the very things wherein Won Diederich
has shown himself a failure, Prince Henry
should be a success. Like all Princes of
the House of Hohenzollern, the latter S
education in the direction of international
law has been carefully attended to. and
if he is not naturally and by heritage a
born dipIomatst, then the combined blood
CT his fathers and mothers families flows
in his veins TO little purpose.
In the matter of Prince Henry's eieva-
ticn to the command of the German naval
force in the East as in several other
things the Kaiser has done of late there
is ground for assuming a direct intention
on the part of the elder branch OF the Teu-
tonic race to show its youngest member
a kindly face and to extend to it the hand
of brotherhood
