How Banana Trees Grow.

II Is a peculiar fact that but one
bunch Of bananas grows on a tree.
After the fruit has been cut the tree IS
then cut down to the ground, and from
the stump another tree sprouts when
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 1t
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 punches, according to
tho size Of the punches and the dis
lance from the coast. In the season ut
Baracoa there are more thac !sSGuon
keys that stretch 'i1ong in a line TO
miles. ploddhng toward the coast wit

Trfcka For Dogs,

To "beg" or to play dead" to "say
his prayers" to Smoke" to read"
are all easily learned by dogs. First
show the dog what you want by put
ting him in the position you wish him
to take, with the command which you
use for the trick. Be sure always to
use the same words for any trick. Do
not say "Lie DOWN. one day and
Charger the next. If you begin with
"charge" keep on with it.
You will do we'll to teach your dog
to follow close behind you or, as 1t Is
called, to ''heel." 1t will at times be a
convenience to you. It is easy to make
the dog associate the command "Heel!'
with the act Of walking close behind
his master. but it requires good deal
Of persistence on the trainers part 1t
Is a dogs nature to run and roam all
about, and If he is allowed to forget
once or twice he seldom remembers

old Age Pensions.

The proposed law for old age pen
sions meets with much opposition IN
France on the ground that the age at
which the pension falls due-sixty-hva
is far beyond the average life ofthe
French workman. Many labor organi-
cations have protested. and all on the
same ground-that their members haze
no mind 10 lay by from their wages
money by which they personally are
little likely to profit.
1t Is the argument that an irish nurse
recently used to her invalid master. q
retired banker, well known In town.
AS various nfirmitles had more and
more restricted his freedom, he had
given up his clubs one by one' retain
ing Mt length his membership In only
one, the most expensive. This, too. one
day he talked of disseminating. His
nurse approved. TITS right we are,

DREAMS WHICH HAPPEN.
A Robbery That Was Witnesses ny
n Woman During Sleep.

A Robbery That Was WitnesseA by
Woman During Sleep.
A lady spending the summer In the
country, some 20 miles from her city
residence, dreamed that the latter was
robbed, she herself being a witness or
the robbery. In her dream she saw two
men, one Of whom limped, In the act
Of rummagng some trunks in the hall.
A candle stuck by means Of Its own
wax on the newell post Illuminated the
scene with dim light.
After finishing their work with the
trunks the men went up stairs to
closet, from which they removed cur
tains and hangings stored for the sum-
mer months The dreamer observed
that they overlooked her most valuable
curtains, which had been placed well
back on upper shelves.
Suddenly she seemed to be transport
ed to her birthplace at Auburn. n. T.,
where she especially noted the bronze
figure OF an Indian which surmounts
the prison edifice.
At breakfast the next morning she
related her vivid dream to those pres
emit FIVE of whom are now living and
vouch for the fact. Subsequently II
was found that the city house had been
entered and robbed. On the newell post
were the marks of the candle The
curtains had all been taken but the best
Set. which were found where the dream
er had seen them.
Suspicion was directed to a painter
who had been at work on the house.
who was lame and who disappeared
Immediately after the robbery. lnves-
tigation OF this mans character showed
that he had served term in the Au-
burn penitentlary.-H Culture.

CHINESE PROVERBS.

Dig q well before you are thirsty.
The ripest fruit will not fall into
your mouth.
Great wealth means destiny. Mod
crate wealth means industry.
The pleasure Of doing good Is the only
one which does not wear out.
Water does not remain on the noun
tain nor vengeance in great mind.
To nourish the heart there Is nothing
better than to make the desires few.
When life comes, 1t cannot be de-
clined. When 1t goes, 1t cannot be
detained.
Good governments get the peoples
wealth. while good instructions get
their hearts.
Those who labor with their minds
govern others. Those who labor with
their strength are governed by others.
A small bag cannot be made to con-
tain what is large. A short rope can
not be used to draw water from deep
well.
Let every man sweep the snow from
before his own door and not busy him
self about the frost Of his neighbor'a
tiles.

ENeLAND's FIRST SHIP.
Great Harry Was the Country's Pre-.
uier Fighting Machine.

OF the first ship, properly speaking,
of the British navy, known as the
Great Harry, the following partcu-
lars are given In an old number OF the
Mechanics Magazine, dated Oct. 70,
1923:
The Great Harry was built by King
Henry VII at cost Of $4,000, and
was burned at Woolwieh, through acci-
dent, In 1858.
Though King Henry, rs well as
other princes, hired many ships, ex-
elusive Of those which the different
seaports were obliged to furnish, ne
seems thus to have been the first King
who thought OF avoiding this incon'
venience by raising such force as
might be at all times sufficient for the
service Of the state. Historians tell us
that he caused his navy. which mao
been neglected In the preceding reign
To be put In a condition to protect the
British coasts against all foreign inva-
sIons, and that In the midst or pro-
found peace he always kept up fleet
ready to act.
In August. 1912. the Regent, ship
of 900 tons, which was at that time
the largest vessel In the British navy,
was burned, and to replace II the
Great Harry, or, as 1t was also known
the Henry Grace de Dieu. was built III
1915.
The vessel, of about 1000 tons bur
den. was manned by $40 soldiers, 3ol
marines and 30 gunners. She had -four
masts and portfolios on both decks aho
| In other parts.
Before the time OF her constructor
the cannon were placed above deck
and on the PROV and poop. one Dc
charges, French builder at Brest' Ii
said to have invented portfolios.

It is better to give book than to
lend 1t.

shaped. Is inserted into handle OF
rosewood. snakewood. ebony. mahog'

wood. which Is cut to dovetail with the
long part.
"The maple wood used in making the
handles Is sawed into suitable lengths
and seasoned The logs are then spit
into pieces from which the handles are
made. These pieces are called Dolls
The bolts are sawed approximately TO
the shape of the handle TO be finally
made, and In this shape they are nan,
die blocks. The handle block Is turned
to the shape of the handle In iathe'

finished and polished.

povcr of WIND on Sea Waves.

If the wind blow directly parallel to
the sea surface the friction may cause
an ocean current without wave dis
turbance. As rule the direction OF
the wind is inclined to the sea surface,
and its immediate effect Is to produce
a depression. which relieves itself by
means of Il wave to leeward and an
other to windward. This latter eleva'
ton is opposed by the wind and grad
ually dies away. while the leeward
wave is correspondingly accelerated.
Each undulation shelters the water I'M
der its lee from the wind, which con-
seouently impinges upon the sea lit
tie in advance OF the newly formed
wave. and thus we get series of par
allel ridges and hollows, provided the
wind remain steady in direction and
