Fish And Lsprosy'

On the fret and fourth pages Of
this issue we reprint an editorial
from the HongkopR Telegraph in
regard to the causes Of leprosy. just
at present this subject is command
ing vast attention in China, partic-
ularly 10 view OF the fact that noted
scientists are insisting upon the
theory that leprosy is caused by i'm!
perfectly "cured" sslted fsh. In
view OF the fact that large quantities
of salted fish are imported into the
Islands from China and from the
Coast, the subject becomes, at once,
one OF great interest here. 1t is
worthy OF special note, in connee-
tion with the matter, that leprosy is
now confined almost exclusively to
countries in which dried and salted
fish are used to q large extent.

POSToFFICE POINTERS.
Increase Of los Per Cent in Three
New Counties.


Uuncle Sam doesn't establish postof-
fees just fer the fun of the thing.
The developement in postoftice busi-
ness is pretty good thermometer as
to general development of section.
In the pastfye years, in the counties
of Stanley, Lyman and Butte, comprs-
ing nearly all the newer organized
counties west of the Missouri, the num-
ber OF postotiices has increased l65 per
cent, and in the same period the mum
Der of public schools has increased 1OC
per cent.
OF course, postoftices arn't very nu-
merous yet; but on the first of last Jan.
uary there were 40 of them, while on
New Years of 1899 there were only 15.
That means an increase of 25 in five
years-not much of a growth, but prob
ably larger growth than the CORE
spending area east Of the Missouri en-
joyed during any five years before i,
was crossed by a railroad.
Just watch that western area grow

Cattle Values Continue Rising.

Current receipts certainly tend to in
dicate period OF beef scarcity until
the arrival of range beef, says Rappal
Bros. Il Co., in letter to the Free Press
and they advise as follows:
Beef values continue to soar under
the influence of light receipts, and pop
ular weight cattle are 80 cents per cwt
higher than three week ago. Six cent
cattle, long expected, materialized this
week. Fridays top $625-was the high
est price of the year, and IS cents high
or than a year ago. Buyers have given
sellers well nigh all they have asked
for, and good profits were pocketed on
nearly everything handled. Practically
no beef has been left on the hoof over
i night during the past two weeks, the
bulk selling at $3.50 to $5.4O, the high
est price in two years back.
The marked Improvement in cattle
values of late justified expectancy of
heavy runs during the past two weeks,
and killers have accepted the light re-
ceipts as evidence that feed lots are
| about exhausted. Consequently, traders
are freely predicting that lusty de-
mand will prevail for western grassers,
! and that even heavy receipts will be alb
sorbed readily at stiff prices during the
coming season.
Chicago receipts OF range cattle this
year promises to be largely in excess of
| 1903, but the outlook for the western
season grows brighter week after week

runs since the beginning of the year

THE BANANA.
Fruit That Ripens ON the Plant II
Not Suitable For Food.

=
Not Suitable For Food.
There is vast amount of ignorance
prevailing among intelligent people Of
the north concerning the growth, pro-
duction and marketing of bananas.
Many people imagine that the natives
in tropical climes step out of their huts
In the early morning and pluck and
eat bananas from the plant, the same
as they would oranges and other fruits.
Bananas ripeued on the plant are not
suitable for food and would be much
the same as the pith which is found in
the northern cornstalk or elder. Ra-
nanas sold in the United States, even
after travelling 5000 miles in green
state, are every bit as good as bananas
ripened under tropical sun. This Is
probably true of no other export fruit.
The plant of which bananas is the
fruit is not tree, nor is it bush or
vine. 1t is simply gigantic plant,
growing to height Of from fifteen to
twenty feet. About eighteen feet from
the ground the leaves, ofttimes eight
feet long, come out in short cluster,
from the center Of which springs a
bunch Of bananas. These do not grow
with the bananas pointing upward nat
urally, and If the stem grew straight
they would hang exactly as seen in
the fruit stores and grocers' windows.
This, however, is not the case. The
stem bends under the weight Of the
fruit, and this brings it into directly
the opposite direction, with the large
end of the stalk up and the fringes
pointing toward the sun.
A word of explanation concerning
some banana terms. Each banana is
called finger" and each of these lit
tie clusters of fingers surrounding a
stalk is called a "hand." The quality
and value Of each bunch depend on the
| number of hands it has. Some may
wonder how the fruit is cut from the
top Of a plant fifteen feet from the
ground. The native laborers cut the
stalk part way up its height. The
weight of the fruit causes the stalk
to slowly bend over until the bunch
Of bananas first nicely reaches the
ground; then the bunch is cut off with
| the ever ready machete and carried
to the river or railroad for shipment.
| The plant at the same time is cut
close to the ground. The banana is a
very prolific producer Of itself, and
Fat every cleaning Of the land it is
necessary to cut down many Of the
young plants, or suckers" as they are
termed, in order that they may not
become oyercrowded up to certain
limit. The fewer suckers on given
area the larger the fruit they will pro
