SOUTH CARDINALS DISGRACE.

II all that Ebert Hubbard Of the
Philistine says is true there is plenty
of opportunity for Senator Tillman and
others Of his stripe to make a record
at home. Editor Hubbard charges that
the child-labor system now in vogue in
South Carolina is ten times worse than
the old slavery regime. According to
his statement thousands Of children of
the age of six and upwards are driven
to work At 6 o'clock in the morning
and kept at constant toll till Z In the
evening. South Carolina is one of the
few states wherein child labor is not
prohibited by law and Mr.. Hubbard
charges that the politicians Of that
state have made a compact with the
mill owners that NO such law shall be
enacted; that it would mean defeat for
any politician to advocate any such
thing. He says: "At moo I saw them
squat upon the floor and devour their
food. which consisted mostly Of corn
bread and bacon. These weakened pig
mics munched In silence and then top
pied over on the floor in all the aban-
doo Of babyhood. Very few wore shoes
Esd stockings; dozens Of little girls of,

Countries Whore It Grows
Not so many years ago the banana
vas a curious fruit. reserved for the
table of the epicure: to-day it is the
hardy perennial of the costermonger's
barrow. But few whose cheap del
icacy it Is have probably ever thought
that it could have much influence on
national character. However. accord
ing to Sir H. Johnston, the idleness
and vacuity OF the lives Of the natives
who inhabit the fertile districts of the
Uganda protectorate are directly en-
couraged by the banana. which re-
quires scarcely any labor for its MAIN
tenance as a standing source OF food
supply. 1t propagates itself by throw
ing up shoot after shoot from the UNI
foreground rhiZome. which, as 1t were.
grows horizontally. as do many of tile
allied plants of the same order. and
most orchids. From one of these
rhizomes you may break off an in
cipient shoot and ra-plant 1t. This
shoot rapidly develops into a fine, tall
tree and bears n OF more punches OF
fruit.
Whilst this tree is tiourishing above
ground it Is expanding horizontally be-
low ground and forming a succession
Of fresh shoots. Each shoot grows up
in turn, produces fruit, and eventually
dies. Left to themselves. however, ba-
nanas seem to go on growing. shoot

The young woman in Pennsylvania
who puts the value of broken rib at
500 was Influenced by the mitigating
circumstance that the rib was broken
by young man in an affectiOnate hug.
AT first she offered to compromise on a
basis of payment of the surgeons bill
Of Sl1.50, and when the young man
foolishly and ungallantly tore up the
bill, proper feminine pride compelled
her to raise the price. 1t would seem
10 US that 500 may be regarded as
ridiculously small sum for the pleasure
OF giving such a hug as would fracture
& rib; but, Of course this is not TO be
fully determined until the lady is
shown in evidence. And perhaps the
rib had been broken before. Or posi-
bly, 1t was not one of the more impor-
tant ribs. All these things must be
taken into consideration by unbiased
legal authorities.
