Facts About Bananas.

Under very favorable circumstances
a banana plant may give stem of
fruit in nine months, but it generally
takes from fifteen to eighteen months
for the average plantations to be in full
bearing. The life Of a plantation
varies according to the fertility of its
soil and Typographical situation. Some
soils may need rest in six or seven
years, while others may last practically
forever, as in cases where periodically
enriched by alluvial deposits. Sandy
loan, through which water or rain will
freely percolate is the best soil for
bananas. The stalk needs a large
amount Of rainfall for it's successful
development, but water must not be
allowed to remain on the surface or
Immediately under the surface of the
soil surrounding it, lest the water be
heated by the tropical sun and be-
come stagnant, in which case it will
kill the plant.-Chicago Journal.

A story is told in Paris Of a diplo-
matist who represented South Amer
ican republic few years ago. There
had been so many revolutions at home
that the financierS there had no time to
send him his salary, but he took this
misfortune philosophically, sold all the
furniture of the legation except a bed,
a table and some chairs and occupied
one room with his principal attache,
who cooked the meals. Any one who
called early on the minister would
probably find him cleaning the boots.
What would you haveT he would
say. waving boot expressively. "My
poor country is in another crisis and
has forgotten us again, but when go
back shall make a revolution and ap-
point myself president. Then we shall
have our reward for all this self de-

Would Take No Chance.

A travelling man who had been on
business trip through northern Texas
while east of Greenville had occasion
to hire buggy to go across the coun-
try, and with the buggy there was
thrown in by the livery stable negro,
who, the travelling man says, was about
the color of anthracite. The two
Travelled across the muddy roads for
miles upon miles, and all was going
well when suddenly the negro rose in
the buggy.
"Look a-dahv' he shouted.
The drummer looked barely in time
to see an ordinary cottontail rabbit
cross the road like a streak Of gray
The negro prepared to get out.
"What are you doing" demanded the
drummer, catching at the lines as they
fell The negro got out. Then he care
fully turned every one Of his ragged
pockets inside out, backed up to the
place which the cottontail had crossed
and walked across the imaginary line
backward. Then he climbed into the
buggy again.
'Dah," he said. "Ain' gwine let no
rabbit glib me no bad luck dis trip. No,

TOOth brushes.

I'm the straight toothbrush one thigh
bone of a beef twelve inches long and
four in diameter will cut four perfect
blanks. The same bone will cut only
two Of these fancy curved pieces.
That's one thing that makes the diff
ference in cost between plain and fan
cy," said manufacturer. "When the
bone is cut to length and shaped, bris-
ties are hand drawn by wire or thread
through the brush part, each group Of
bristles having its own leader. Then
they are securely fastened, and the
work is finished. When the bristles
first go in they are fully three inches
long. After being firmly secured they
are cut down to the size required.
What bristle Is best? Well, in some re-
spects that's matter of taste. 1t is
all hog bristle, but whether soft or
hard depends on the USER

1t is an almost forgotten fact that
FOR period of little more than two.
years during the Napoleonic wars Cor
yica was a British possession. After
the evacuation of Toulon the British
government felt 1t necessary to take
the island, and Lord Hood, with Mel
son as brigadier, was sent to drive out
the French. With the capture Of Calvi,
July 10, 1904, where Nelson lost his
eye, the island fell into British hands,
and George III. formally accepted the
crown of Corsica, appointing Sir
George Elliot as British vlceroy and
allowing the Corsicans to retain their
legislative assembly. In 1896 the ac-
ivity Of the French navy In other
parts of the Mediterranean resulted in
sudden decision of the British gov
ernment to withdraw from the island.
The evacuation was completed on Oct.
e6 Of that year, and Corsica reverted to
France

over sunny grave.
AS she bent at last to lay Ut on the
grave she thrust into it the note. Then
without a backward look, she hurried
away. In little while she was home
again, with her absence undiscovered.
She sat down by the window, but her
eyes were no longer dim. Instead
they looked out at the rainy world,
bright and full of expectant hope
John Faring Sd had come home for
Memorial day and in spite of the
storm went out to the cemetery. The
post had come and gone-all the old
fellows in carriages heaped with flow
ers--but somehow the graves did not
look as he remembered them. The
flowers were bumped and Jumped and
straggly Private John Faring had
not been forgotten, but his resting
place especially was unlike itself. John
Sd knelt down by it, needless of oozy
turf, and tried with mannish awk-
wardness to better its arrangement
Thus his eyes rested upon the knot Of
wild flowers and caught the dull gleam
of sodden paper in the midst of them.
Reverently he unfolded the note and
read with blurred vision:
Dear Uncle John-I bring you all can
this year. Aunt Ju owns the flowers
and she hates your name. But love H.
John Faring is the best name in tho
world, wish my name might be Faring.
There was no signature. John Sd
needed none. He bent and kissed the
knot of flowers, still fresh under the
pouring rain, then, with an unuttered
prayer, turned about and went with
long strides toward the Bent house.
Melissa had called to him He would
go to her in spite of pride, in spite of
unmanly fear What il the world did
scoff? He could endure it a hundred
times over just to look once again into
her eyes and see happiness. He had
been a coward, no kin at all to the
soldier sleeping there in peace, to
have let the quarrel of the elders sep
arate him from his sweetheart-his
weetheart-doubly dear in that she
had shown herself thus brave
Melissa met him on the porch. The
wet flag bravely strove to futter in

Old Letters,

There is but one thing to do with old
love letters-in fact, with all old let
ters, love or otherwise-and that is to
burn them.
Letters are personal. the thoughts,
the wishes of the moment Letters are
seldom of historical interest. If so, 1t
is an easy matter to preserve those.
An old letter is seldom Of interest
while life is granted to the writers, and
but cause of misery after death has
claimed either. Should both writer and
the one addressed be taken from the
world the old letters are either care
lessly paraded or left to mold in cor
ner Of the attic.
When letter-the ordinary letter,
which is but an exchange Of personal
thought, hopes or dreams-is answered
it is time to burn it. 1t will then new
er be read by curious eyes nor will it
serve as bitter suggestion of hap
pier past.-Pittsburg Press.
