sHOW BANANAS GROW

The Cuban children like bananas as well
as Americans do. Their mothers bake
green bananas in the oven. If you should
prick the skin Of a banana with FORK
and bake 1t forty minutes / think you
would like them as well as the little Gu
bans.
If bananas could talk this is what they
would say:
I came from Cuba. While I was living
near the top Of tall tree with Is great
broad leaves, 1 saw banana farm planted
near us in the swampy woods. The trees
were left standing to shade the men from
the hot sun while they cut away the brush
They measured the farm with long ropes
six yards apart. This rope was stretched
along the ground. and small shoots from
banana trees were planted at every reu
tape Next week the men came and cut
down the forest trees. The shoots were
left to grow for six months, then the grass
and weeds were cut down with machetes.
A machete has long steel blade with a
bone handle.
+ Soon the sprouts were grown trees. and
at the end of one year big punches OF
bananas were cut from them. There were
railroad tracks on this banana farm, ana
in two days all the great punches Of ba-
nanas were packed into the cars and sent
to the New York boats waiting at the
wharves
The man who owned the farm only got
30 cents for a large bunch and 10 cents
for small ones. When the boat reached
New York the best punches were sold for

Too Young to Wear Epaulettes.

According to the custom Of Russia, Alex
ander (tfe future emperor) when quite
youth, entered the military service as a
cadet. At fourteen he was made a subalt-
ern in the guards. A few days after his
promotion he passed through hall where
several high officials were assembled. On
the approach of the prince they rose and
bowed. This mark of respect, paid him by
old soldiers, so f1attered the boy that wish
ing to enjoy it again he passed several
times through the hail. The generals who
had saluted him previously paid him no at
FASTENED to complain to the boys father.
The latter took him by the hand and led
him back to the hall where he had left the
generals.
my son." he said to him in their pres
ence, at is really painful to me that you
understand so slightly the duties imposed
on you by your new epaulettes. Are you
aware that the men by whom you wish to
be honored you ought to honor yourself
men who have grown gray in the service
of the state? To them your father owes
his throne and his life. Bow. then, to these
noble gentlemen and consider as a great
honor every mark of respect they grant
you Your conduct convinces me that you
are still too young to wear the epaulettes
that have been given you. I will take them
back. You can never reclaim them until
your conduct proves you are capable OF
wearing them honorably." And the empe-
ror detached the epaulettes from his sons
coat, and warned him not to forget his les
son.

A Chinese Bows Queue.

When the Chinese boy is old enough. he
grows queue. This event in the Chinese
boys life does what the first pair Of trous-
ers does to the American boy-changes him
from a baby to a boy.
The queue has many uses. In some of the
games played by the Chinese boys the
queue is used in a variety of ways. In
geometry it is used to strike an arc or
draw a circle. The laborer spreads towel
over his head wraps his queue around 1t
and makes himself hat. Cart drivers
whip their mules and beggars scare away
dogs with their queues.
When a Chinese father takes his little
son out for walk he takes hold. not of
the boys hand, but his queue. Sometimes
the child follows the father and lest he
should get lost the father gives him his
queue to hold. and when his little boys
want to play horse their queues are always
ready to be used for reins.

Godfrey Hears of the Wooden Horse

Leslie read the story of the Wooden
Horse of Troy. and afterwards told it to
Archie. Winifred heard it from Archie,
and this is the way she told it to her wide
eyed little brother Godfrey:
One time there was war. 1t was way
off and there was big city with iron walls
around it. Some soldiers were inside, and
some were outside, and the ones inside
were Trojans. They wanted to get outside
where the Greeks were, and the Greeks
wanted to get inside where the Trojans
WERE and that is why there was a war.
At last the Greeks went away out of sight
They built big wooden horse. all hollow
inside. He was bigger n houses-bigger n
trees. Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you his
name was Bill
Then the Greeks all got inside of the
horse; and when he shut his mouth they
drove him right up to the walls of Troy and
said: whoa Bill" And Bill could put
his nose right over the wall and look into
Troy. But the Trojans they wanted a
horse. too, so they took hold of Bits halter
and made him jump clean over the WALL
Then they patted his nose and tied him
fast to a chestnut tree in the park After
that they all went to sleep. they were so
happy to have horse.
Just as the town clock struck twelve the
Greeks all came out of the horse and turn
ed on the electric lights to see what kind
of a place Troy was. But while they were
running around here and there Bill got hun
cry and ate up all the Trojans
When the Greeks came back and saw that
the Trojans were all eaten up they turned
the horses head the other way, and every
body shouted: Get up. Bill!' That made
the horse jump back over the wall.
So in the morning. when the Trojans
woke up and saw where they were 1t was
a surprise. They were outside of Troy and
the Greeks were inside, and SO the war
was over.

II was a cold night and his garments
rather scanty he had enjoyed the race as

When Alick came to retrace his steps he
became dreadfully- puzzled. for all the
roofs were exactly alike.
One after another he pulled at the trap
doors. and at last. much to his relief. he
found one that was unfastened. which he
felt quite sure belonged to his house.

FALSE FACES.
BY SARAH WALTERS.

When Jerry Spicer was seven he wanted
diary, and Santa Claus brought him one for
Christmas With his mothers encourage
ment he kept the record every day for about
three weeks. Then he forgot for several
days and wrote them up from memory.
Again he forgot for week and had to
catch up in the same way.
After that the book rested for a month.
and then Jerry had to leave several dates
blank, for he could not remember so far
back Then followed more blank space
a resolution to write every day-a record
for a few days-blank space-resolution-
record for one day-and all the rest blank.
Jerry's mother finally put the book away.
OF course it was not missed; but one Sep
TENDER day Jerry found 1t on the little
dresser in his bedroom: and strange to re-
late there were several entries In 1t:
Monday. September 19-Had lots of fun
today cutting a monkeys false face out OF
the newspaper. When 1t was finished and
pinned into shape 1 ran around trying to
make everyone think was a monkey.
Tuesday, September 20-I didn't have any
cOlored newspaper to cut up today. but the
one that made me look very tired and weak
when mamma asked me to carry some wood
for her.
Wednesday, September 21-The false-face
man came early L WdHtco
some preserves and cake for breakfast. but
mamma thought they were not good for me.
The mask made me look like pouting.
cross, disagreeable youngster. Mamma had
a face on, too, making her appear sad and
unhappy. And papa-well, he didn't look at
all like the kind, good-natured papa he Is.
The false-face man made him look angry.
Thursday, September 22-That false-face
fellow is regular brick. He has a mask
for almost anything a body wants to be.
Yesterday I-I-told lie. 1t was a whop-
per. My mask must have made me look
very much ashamed for mamma found out
had told it and then the false-face man
gave mamma a mask with tears all over it
Friday, September 23-I wore my own
natural face nearly all day. Just once,
when l wanted second piece of pumpkin
pie, the false-face man tried to clap a
greedy mask over my face, but 1 tore 1t
away and ran OFF laughing. because mamma
said so much pie was too rich for us.
Jerry was immensely surprised to find
these records in his diary. The handwriting
looked suspiciously like his mammals S.
though he was not sure of it. One thing he
was sure of, and that was what the record
said. He had been lazy and cross and IN
truthful and greedy-goodness knows what
all.
Jerry hid the book away in the bottom OF
one of his bureau drawers. The next night
he wrote something like this:
Saturday, September 24-This has been a
very happy day 1 smiled whenever mamma
asked me to do anything, and wasn't cross
once. Mamma has been lovely, too, all day.
/ don't know if 1 shall keep writing in
my diary or not, but / never care to play
any more with that meaSly false-face man.

The Two Mistakes

AIick Browns last pet was beautiiui
Angora kitten which his mother had pur-
chs sed at cat show. He was both proud
and fond of it. At night 1t slept in SILK
lined basket on the foot of his bed, ana
Alick was very careful to close the door
Of his room so that Poppet the kitten could
rot run out but once. about half-past 10,
he woke and saw that the door was open,
and feeling in the basket he found that
Poppet was gone.
He peeped out into the hall. The gas was
turned down, but he could see in every
corner As he stood looking around
faint and doleful NEW, NEW, sounded about
his head.
"Poppet must have gone into the garrett
thought Alick, and he thrust his feet quick
ly into pair of slippers, and his arms
into his little flannel bathrobe. for he knew
how cold the garnet was. then climbing on
a chair he lit his candle by the gas jet
