Bananaa.

Bananas are as a rule planted out
Systematically in rows, the suckers"
being placed at an average of ten feet
apart. The banana plant bears only
one bunch at a time, but it is a quick
grower, yielding it's fruit in twelve to
fourteen months. When the plant is
about six months old, a second suck
er" or shoot is allowed to spring from
the root, a third after the ninth month,
and so on, so that after the first year
there is a continuous crop being reaped.

Fan. IN shake.peare,. ,rime.

Fans in S~hakespeare's time seem to
have been composed Of ostrich and 9TH
er feathers fastened to handles. Cen
tlemen carried fans in those days. and
in one of the later figures Of the ger
man they now carry fans. According
to an old manuscript in the Ashmolean
museum, Sir Edward Cole rode the cir
cult with a prodigous fan, which had a
long stick. with which he corrected his
daughters. s2

Test Of the Age Of Egg.

There is a sure and simple test of age
in an egg. Dissolve six ounces of com.
mon kitchen salt in a large glassful of
water and drop in your eggs, n al. a
time. An egg one day old will sink to
the bottom. but If older it does not
reach the bottom. II three days old, II
sinks only just below the surface. II
five days and over. It floats; and the
older 1t is the more it protrudes from
the water.-New York Press.

Fishing Through Street Gratins..

In Winchester, England, it is quite q
common thing to see men fishing
through the street gratings. Under the
High street there flow several streams
which ultimately discharge into the
river itchen, a noted trout stream.
These streams receive the storm and
surface water from the street by means
of the ordinary street grating. The line
is dropped through and fastened to the

barred from C0zxrf
Four Peeresses Ho1dns Some Of the Froudest Names
Among the English Nobility. Arc
Socially Distracted.

While most of the women Of the
British aristocracy are preparing for
the display of dress and figure at the
coronation of King Edward in June.
there are four members Of the fair
sex across the water who wear old and
honOred titles who will not need to
spend their money in preparation for
this event and who cannot look for
ward with anticipation. For them the
coronation Las no me:ning except to
mark their ostracism from the society
of the elect. Gossip has said that they
may participate in the procession, ball
AMI other ceremonies, but 1t is
now claimed that from the list of tt
tied ladies invited to the coronation
will be omitted the names of Lady
Clancarty, Lady Orkney, Lady Head
fort and Lady Hope. They are persona
non grata at the English court, though
they bear the names of peers whose
rank is high. All of the quartet are
as talented and clever as any of the
titled ladies who enjoy the Kings IA
vor; indeed, it was their cleverness
which gained for them ths1r titles. All
four were poor singers and dancers
who caught the fancy Of young noble
men and became their wives. But be-
c. Sc they were women Of the stage
they have no social standing and are
excluded from the privileges which,
by reason of their marriage. they have
reason to believe themselves entitled
to.
Perhaps the most interesting, as she
is the most handsome, OF this quartet
is the Viscountess of Claucarty. Her
father, one Billion, was respectable
British soldier who thought we'll of
his daughters, Belle and Flo. but who
could not give them the comforts and
pleasures they desired. When Belle
was Is the two ran away from their
home in Woolwich and became gyp-
sizes, tramping through the provinces,
singing in suburban Music halls and
finally becoming favorites at the AL
hambra music hall in London. Within
week after their arrival at the
metropolis, Belle was the idol Of Lon
don's titled young idlers. Of the lat
ter, Richard, Viscount Dunio, was the
most prominent-a weak, brainless
sapling of 20 who had ~ell-founded eX-
pectations of an earldors. Belle Billion
married him. When the news reached
his father, that choleric old tyrant de-
clared that he never would recognize
concert hall singer as his daughter
in-law. Soon thereafter he sent his
son around the world on tour, COM

Crook Mcuasteries.

It is a firm belief of the eastern
monks Of the Greek church that God
will not allow monastery to be
burned. When. the Russian monastery
of ST. Pantelemon at Mount Athos was
burned few years ago the Greeks,
who constitute the great majority OF
the 5000 monks on the peninsula,
maintained that their Russian breth-
rem had brought the calamity on them
selves because they had fire engines
and extinguishers and did not trust
wholly in God. Now the neighboring
Greek monastery at ST. Paul, which
had no fire engines, has recently been
utterly destroyed by fire.

tenth century.
The total number of these is 2e4, of
which eighty-fve are furnished by
Asia, fifty-eight by Africa and thirty
by Oceanic. Among the tongues in
cluded in this list are many which are
decidedly unfamiliar to the man in
the street" India, for example, fur
nishes Khowar (ChitraD, Kortha CAS-
SAM, and Lepeha CTibet frontier);
then from the Celebes islands comes
Alfnor from the island of Zanzibar
Pokomo, from Sierra Leone Bullion,
and from the Niger territory Igbira.

ArIatoccAtS Live Long.

The value of life of comparative
ease. which the possession o. title
naturally suggests, is fully demon
strated SO far as making for longevity
by an analysis of the obituary Of the
British peers, baronets and knights
who died last year, or rather between
Dec. 6, 1900, and Dec. 5, 1901. Nine
teen members of the upper house died
twelve of them being 70 and upward
while five were 60 or over, thus leav-
ing only two who had died at COM
paratively early age. The number OF
baronets who died was thirty-four,
seventeen of them, or exactly SO per
cent, being 70 or over, while nine of
them were 60 or more. The knights
who died numbered fifty-one, and
thirty-one of them were 70 or more,
while thirteen were 90 or over.
