When a woman has to cross here

escaping alive and hurls herself across
the street as if she was the Light Bri-
gade charging the battery at Bala-

stops short just as he clears the car
tracks, and those behind him have to
dodge around him to get out of the way
Of the cars. I tell you, there are more

AS TO TEMPERANCE.

the deadly drug habit, which has en-
siaVeo as mental and physical wrecks,
thousands of unfortunates.
Nearly all patent medicines and So
called cough cures depend for their
effect upon some form of these drugs.
That IS one reason why doctors are
opposed TO patent medicines. 1t is a
gooo reason, too, when victims of the
deadly drug habit are crowding the
sanltarlums and insane asylums.
We repeat that those selling these
so-called Immediate relief" remedies,
stinulants disguised under the name of
medicine should be compelled by law
to print the formula on each package
telling what it contains We have
written this so you will realize the dan
ger in taking such preparations, and so
you Will understand it's Importance
when you read that without these
drugs, or alcohol, Father Johns Medi-
cine cures colds and all throat and lung
troubies-and builds up the body. 1t is
the best tonic ever prescribed, because
it drives out the impurities in the only
way they can be driven out, by enabling
the stomach to assimilate the food and
thus strengthen each organ Of the body
to do it's natural work. This old
remedy is not patent medicine. as we
have said before. 1t was prescribed for
the late Rev. Father John O'Brien of
st. Patrick's Parish. Lowell, Mass, fifty
years ago, from whom it derived it's
name and by whom it was recommend
ed. 1t contains no opium, morphine,
chloroform, or poisonous drugs in any
form. It's ingredients are all pure food
! elements. The 81 bottles contain three
times the quantity of the 5O-cent size.

THE PRODUCTS OF JAMAICA.
How Banana, Cocoanut, and Chocolate
Trees Are Cultivated.

One of the most interesting features of
Jamaican life is the manner in which the
large fruit and nut plantations are con-
Quoted so as to yield profit to>their pro-
prietorS. This is in some Instances a diff
cult result to obtain, particularly in the
case of banana.
The banana plant takes about a year to
mature and bears but one bunch. and that
is the end CT it, but almost Immediately
n sucker comes up at the root to take
its place. However, after two or three
years, according to the richness of the
soil. the old roots are dug out. and the
"banana walk" is replanted with fresh
suckers. as after a time the plants from
the old roots will not produce what is
called a BUNCH which contains nine
hands" All below nine hands are called
stems" A stem with eight hands counts
as three-fourths Of a bunch. one with
seven onc-half. and one with six one
fourth. II by chance stem contains
more than nine hands it is only recognized
as a bunch Each one is checked up
as it passes along the dock to the shop
on the top of a black woman's head and
being able to tell at a glance just how
many hands each stem contains. The
planters try to make their plantations
produce the most fruit at the time of year
when it will bring the best price and this
is from March through the summer, as it
is easier to handle in the United States
during warm weather and is in much
greater demand. This can be done by
pruning. letting only the right-szed suck
ers remain to take the place of the plant
which has borne
Aside from banana cultivation a good
deal of attention is paid to the cocoanut.
This consists more in marketing the pro-
duct than anything else. as after the seed
has been planted there is very little cuI-
tivation necessary, except to keep the
grass down, and this is often accomplish-
ed by cattle, after the tree has become a
few years old. 1t takes nearly seven
years before it will produce nuts in any
quantity but after this time it blooms
every month in the year. A healthy
cocoanut tree is never without fruit In
different stages of ripening.
The chocolate tree bears its fruit in a
most peculiar way, putting out it's bloom
directly from the main trunk and the
principal branches, forming an oblong
pod resembling a cantaloure somewhat
and containing seeds q little thicker than
a lima bean.
These seeds are taken from the mods
and passed through a simple process OF
fermentation ard then dried The tree
bears fruit in about four years. ard with
little care will produce for MANY wears
Nearly all the field work of thesa Man
tations is done by indentured coolies both
men and women, sent out from India
They make very reliable laborers The
loading of the steamers is largely done by
the native negroes.
