The northern Hills experienced the
worst storm of the season last Wednes'
day. 1t was in fact a blizzard of the old
fashioned type, such as has not been
seer in this region for several years. says
the Pioneer-Times. A wind was blow
ing almost a gale from the north n
east, there was a heavy fall of snow
throughout the day and with the light
snow already on the ground the wind
created a veritable screen. 1t seems
that nearly all the snow was moving,
either over the ground or through the
air. 1t is not often that such a wind
blows in Deadwood gulch and this prob
ably made it felt more severely thar it
would have been otherwise. People
protected by the sheltering hills could
get but an idea of what the storm mpst
have been in the valley.

The peaches are now at this Office and

any other section of the United States

THE. BANANA,
Hruit That Ripens ON the Plant d
s@till Not Suitable For Food. fE

E.E'st NOT S01tA 01e EOr FOOQs .G}I Il
There is a 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 ripened 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. Ba-
nanas sold in the United States, even
after travelling 5000 miles III green
state, are every bit as good as bananas
ripened under tropical sun. This Is
probably true Of no other export fruit.
fruit Is not tree, nor Is it a bush or
vine. 1t is simply a 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 a short cluster,
from the center of which springs a
bunch of bananas. These do not grow
with the bananas pointing upward nat
'urally, and IL 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 a Ginger" and each Of these lit
tie clusters of fingers surrounding a
stalk is called 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 Off plant fifteen feet from the
ground. ! The native laborers cut the
stalk part way up it's 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 of 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, q
very prolific producer Of itself, and
at 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 q certain
limit. The fewer suckers on a given
area the larger the fruit they will pro.

A QUEER COACH ROAD.

Passengers Pay Their Fare and
Work Their Way as Well.
In the old days Of canal voyaging
captains of boats were not infrequently
asked to give wayfarer a lift. The
man was asked If he was willing to
work his passage. If he said Yes" he
was put to work driving the horses. In.
Europe, it seems, similar custom is
practiced on paying coach passengers. &
In the Pyrenees there Is coach road
between two villages, one on each side
Of mountain $1,000 feet high. After
the coach has proceeded little dis
lance and reached the steep part OF the
ascent the conductor begs the passen-
gers to get out so as to ease the horses.
They are even requested a push be-
hind and help the poor animals to drag
the huge vehicle uphill. s.Zs
When at last the summit is reached
the traveller, wiping from his forehead
drops of sweat as big as kidney beans,
congratulates himself on the breezy
ride down the steep slopes Of the de-
scent which awaits him. 5.. e5s%a
There is where he makes a mistake,
for the conductor, with a sweet smile,
begs the gentlemen to- be kind enough
to hang on to the coach behind and act
the part Of Westinghouse air brake
or else the horses may be injured.
In this manner the terminus Of the
line is reached, the passengers having
pushed the coach all the way up one
side OF the mountain and held It back
all the way down the other. IL. d
In spite Of this there is a rush for
places on the coach daily, as there has
been for half century Spare Mo
ments. 81 II Y " 4. t 81 n

Cleveland, O., Jan. 30.-George A.
Rose, the alleged defaulting cashier
Of the Produce Exchange bank, which
closed it's doors Jan. %, made con-
fession during the evening to the coun.
ty prosecutor, telling OF his method OF
using the banks money, of which he
is said to have lost $4,000. Rose
sail that he was alone in his alleged
speculation and that his use of the
banks money began about six years
ago. He said that about three years
ago, when the loss had reached only
$4,000, an auditing committee was ap.
pointed to 60 over the banks books.
Rose had hoped that his shortage
would be discovered then, but at the
end Of week, or SO of investigation
the committee reported everything
satisfactory with the banks affairs.
Rose declares that he lived within HIS
salary Of $125 a month. 4. 2 s,
When the shortage had reached
i $4,000 Rose said he knew that he
would have to replace that sum and,
seeing no other way Of doing 1t than
by specializing, he continued to do SO
until the amount reached $4,000.
! His mental state has been miserable
ever since his speculations began, he
said, and oftentimes he had been
tempted to commit suicide but did
not do SO because Of his wife and
family {.3: s55 2s.$5. RI ts
