Can Choose Our Enemies.

An open enemy is better than gos-
siping friend. The story is told of a
man In public life In Washington who
once found himself surrounded by a
host of self-appointed counselors, con-
tinually advising him. "as friends" of
many astounding things, which a val
ued and lifelong intimate, also in pub
lie life. was alleged to be doing against
him. says the Boston Globe. Bitter
ness beset the heart of the man when
he heard that his friend had turned
against him and he grieved.
Strangely enough, the friend was also
grieving, for he had received tales
which filled his heart with doubt of
the loyalty of his lifelong friend. THE
dog that will fetch will carry says
the old proyerb; and the friends" who
had told tales to one of these men told
the same sort to the other. They We're
politicians. place-seekers, hangers-on,
who for their own ends employed Cos
sip, and malicious gossip at that, to
keep apart these two men.
But the plan did not work. The two
men met, charged each other with cool
ness and finally learned that they had
been the victims of tale-bearers. Then
one of them said, I'VE can choose our
enemies, but not our friends" and in
saying 1t he enunciated truth.

1t is n peculiar fact that but one
bunch of bananas grows on tree.
After the fruit has been cut the tree is
then cut down to the ground, and from
the stump another tree sprouts which
bears another bunch the following
year. The greatest trouble of farmers
is TO keep the farms clear OF sprouts.
They shoot up from the roots of the
tree for a radius of ten feet and grow
like weeds.
As the fruit Is cut from the trees it
is placed on the backs of little pack
donkeys and transported in this way
TO the coast. One donkey can carry
from three to six lunches. according to
the size of the punches and the dis
lance from the coast. In the season at
Baracoa there are more than 5000 don
keys that stretch along In line for
miles, ploddlng toward the coast with
their loads of bananas.

Sitting In his cosy home. Ovaett told
the story of his wonderful cruise along
the shore of the north Pacific to Sew
ard, Alaska. After working his way out
Into the ocean from Puget Sound. he
took what is known as the inner pas
sage to Alaska. That he was not
wrecked dozen times was due TO vigil
lance and the numerous sheltered
hooks along the irregular passage.
His two weeks provisions were made
to cover a much longer period by the
practice of economy and the addition
Of fish and deer meat. Ovaett had no
trouble obtaining plenty of fish, and
when the meat larder ran low he re-
sorted to the old-fashloned plan of
lacking" for deer There are many
places along the coast even now where
deer may be killed with comparative
ease. oyaett had a gun with him and,
owing to the necessity of making each

A Forgotten Genius.

The history of wireless telegraphy
would not be complete without some
mention of Joseph Henry, America 8
greatest scientist, for it was he who
first, In 1912. discovered the oscillatory
character of certain electric discharges
and who showed that these oscillations
produced disturbances which could by
suitable receivers be detected at dis
tances of many rods and through in
tervening buildings, writes Professor
Joseph Ames in The Review of Re-
views. He even arranged an apparatus
on this principle to respond TO the
lightning discharges of distant storms.
The great genius of Henry was never
more apparent than in his investiga-
ton of electrical discharges and their
oseillatory nature. 1t is a lasting tes-
timony to the ignorance among Ameri-
cans of their own great men that the
name of Joseph Henry was not includ-
ed in the first 90 selected for the Hall
of Fame of the nation.

What Becomes of the Dead In
Nature.
Any one who has lived much in the

which die In the woods and fields. Dur
ing the course of a whole year, the
number of dead birds and animals seer
millions must perish annually. What
becomes of them? Every wild animals
life is simply an everyday fight against
violent death at the hands of some enc
my. By day hawks sail overhead, and
nothing seems to escape their wonder
full eyes. BY night owls fly with soft
muffied wings, and yelvet-footed ami
mails prowl everywhere. So 1t is mere
ly question of how long any animal OF
bird can delay the inevitable tragic end
which must come to them. To realize
how many small animals prowl through
the woods by night, simply follow the
bank OF some small stream, where there
are soft, muddy places; there you will

Still, with all this evidence Of mental

When an animal or bird becomes sick
or old or infrm, II soon falls prey to
some of Its enemies. 1t rarely dies a
natural death when in the woods; for

Don't Dine Alone.

How many people dine alone? The
restaurants all number solitary diners
among their regular clientage. How
many thousands of people, men or wo-
men. will eat n lone dinner or supper
tonight in the cities and towns and
hamlets of Chrlstendom? The evil OF
eating alone is the subject of an ear
nest although cheerful warning from
the London Lancet The hygienic val
ne of gregarlous dining is insisted up
on. The necessity of taking food in
social fashion Is an inherent racial sort
of thing, and those who 90 against 1t
for years usually have to pay for 1t
with some of the ills of indigestion.
Breakfastlng alone is not bad for a
busy generation. but dining alone Is
not a habit TO be long continued, In CIV

As regards facilities for bathing,
which every Filipino demands, there Is
the open bay. with its miles Of clean
salt water. ready at any time OF the
day or year for free bath. The genu-
