Product Of Bermuda Of Which Little
Is Exported.

came from the Canaries The fruit Is
little larger than a mans finger, and
rs compact In texture and rich in
havor. The fruit grown in summer Is
OF higher quality than that grown in
winter-if the word winter can be
applied to a land in which the mer-
curry rarely registers as low as 50 de-
grees and in which frost Is unknown.
The single bunch that the tree bears
would weigh, of this dwarf sort, from
twenty-five to sixty or seventy pounds.

In maintaining the plantation after 1t

$500 per acre. The little bananas are

lists. 1t has a large garrison. and the
resident people-some over 1000 all
told-are fond of fruit.
Anaesthetics Cause Deaths.
The annual returns of the British
registrar-general show a steady in
crease of mortality from auaesthesia
since 1853. DR.. A. ID. Waller of the
University of London, says that
deaths due to chloroform, the popular
anaesthetic in England, are caused
by too much concentration of the in
hailed vapor. A pump, invented by
Dr. Dubois of Lyons, has proven itsslf
especially effective in anaesthetizing
animals. and has been tried on hui
mans with satisfactory results.
Husband Now Wipes the Dishes.
Luray man objected to doing the
chores around the house and attempt
ed to show by quoting the scriptures
that such duties belonged to the WON
en-. His wife replied by quoting
Kings, xxi, 81: 81 will wipe out Jeru.
salem as a man wipeth dish, wiping
1t and turning it upside down" The
man has since done his share of the
work.-Luray VaD Correspondent of
the Baltimore Herald.
Hypnotism Stops Circulation.
According to recent investigations
1t appears probable that hypnotism
can stop the action of a persons
heart and thus cause death. A. Jour
net. Frenchman. reports that he has
incrG1sed and diminished the num-
Der Of pulse beats at will. and as far
As he could venture with safety. 1t is
said to be also proved that circulation
Is seriously affected, even II 1t Is not
quite certain that the heart can be
silenced.
Dangerous Complexion improver.
Two young girls of Berlin found
their eye sight failing and their par
ents sent them to doctor, where they
had TO undergo cure lasting for some
weeks. Questioned by their parents
as to what they had been doing to
bring their eyes to such condition
the girls confessed that they had
washed their faces in water mixed
with frogs eggs in order to secure a
delicate complexion.
Leaves Money for Cat.
In 1881 an old woman left to the
British Lifeboat Institution the sum
OF $4,000. to be paid on the death of
fayorite kitten which had survived
her and which was to be provided for
with the interest. In 1902 the cat dis.
appeared and the courts have now
decided to assume it's death and let
the institution nave the money, on
giving 1t bond to provide for the cat
in case it should come back.
Sparkling Wines.
At first sparkling wines were only
made in the French province of Cham.
payne. In the early part of the nine.
teenth century the first experiments
to manufacture sparkling wines were
made in Germany. The wines, how.
ever. grown in Champagne are best
suited for this purpose, hence most
OF the German firms manufacturing
champagnes obtain their wines from
Champagne and mix them with Ger.
man wines.
Easter Lilies.
The rise of the Easter lily Is one
! II the most sensational features of
! greenhouse Horticulture In America
| during the last quarter of century.
American florists raise about 5000 900
Easter lilies year. Assuming that
only half of these plants are sold: that
| each bears only two flowers "a good
| plant should have six to eighD and
that the public pays 50 cents a bud, 1t
would seem that the American people
( spend at least S2,5OO,O0O for Easter
| lilies every year.
Electricity and Magnetism.
| II can be said with reasonable GER
tainty that electricity and magnetism
are states of disturbances in the uni
yersal ether, although the exact kind
OF disturbance can not yet be defined
partly because the mechanism of the
ether itself must be sufficiently known
In order to differentiate its disturbed
conditions from its normal conditions.
