sition, 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 finger and each of these
little clusters of fingers surrounding
a stalk is called hand" the quail
ity 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 at ev-
cry cleaning Of the land it is neces-
sary to cut down many Of the young

NEW YORK IMPROBABLE.

Very new and modern are the
almost automatic and entirely i'm
pregnable coast-defense forts" writes
NJ. c. Sullivan in Technical World
Magazine. 80 modern, indeed, that
the installation of comparatively few
of them has been completed. But so
complete is the confidence of all the
experts in their inviolability that $780,
100000 is to be spent at once by the
United States alone in the perfection
OF its coast defense. OF this amount.
at least one million will be expended
at Forts Hamilton and Schuyler
guarding the harbor of New York.
In coast defense work the first
necessity is TO be always prepared
for attack-never to be caught nap

ships of a new type and great speed
are being built for scouting purposes.
Telephone systems, supplementing the
telegraph. are being built along the
whole coastline. each station con-
nected with the nearest fortress.
Coast guards and lookouts are being
furnished with portable searchhghts:
and each observer will carry with
him portable telephone, the receiver
clamped to his ear, so that he may be

5pring Howers
in SwitzerIand

Right in the middle of February
they begin to come out over the green
hills. First tufts of pale primroses
look up from the rain-scented earth
to the pussy-wiIlows growing above
them, and then in the picturesque
gorges between the mountains the
snowtlakes and hepatica peep out.
Snowfakes are something like snow
drops, only larger. But while you
are spending the days gathering them
yellow cowslips, English daisies and
violets have come to join the prim-
roses on the hills. Tiny blue sylla.
yellow celandine, purple and white
crocuses and marigolds are there, too,
even before the last snowstorm has
tutted and wreathed the trees. and
then, oh, then, come the gentians.
There is something about the gentians
so different from any flower here in
America-they are not at all like the
American gentian. 1t is really thrill
ing to find the first dark blue and
white star looking out of the grass.
to pick it, it seems so precious.
Then there are periwinl1les, speed,
lar dandelions. But after a while, in
early April, you find a little mountain
stream some day, and there on the
bank you discover truly bluely forget
me-nots-wild forget menots. There
they grow in the long grass, with the
little pink tipped daisies for compan-
ions, and really, can you imagine any
thing prettier?

FACTS ABOUT THE BANANA.
Ripened During Voyage as Good as
Ripened Under Tropical Sun.

Ripened Under Tropical Sun.
There is vast amount of ignorance
prevailing among intelligent people
concerning the growth, production 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 ba-
nanas fresh from the plant, the same
as they would oranges and other
fruits. Bananas ripened on the
plant are not suitable for food
Bananas, even after travelling 5000
miles in green state, are every bit
as good as bananas ripened under a
tropical sun. This is probably true
of no other export fruit. The plant
OF which bananas is the fruit is not
tree, nor is II bush or vine. II
is simply gigantic plant, growing to
height of from fifteen to twenty
feet About eighteen feet from the
ground the leaves, ofttmes eight feet
long, come out in a sort of cluster
from the center of which springs a
bunch OF bananas.
These do not grow with the bananas
pointing upward, naturally, and II 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 po-

Can incident Of the Civil WARY

Can incident Of the Civil WARY
The sun had sunk into the distant West;
The cannon ceased to roar which tells Of rest;
Rest from the shedding of nations blood,
Rest to lay their comrades meath the sod
Twas early spring, and calm and still the night,
The moon had risen, casting svery light;
On either side of stream the armies lay
Waiting for morn to then renew the fray.
The RappahanGock silently flowed on
Between the hills SO fair to look upon;
Whose dancing waters tinged with svery light
Wed in their beauty. with the starry night.
But list! from northern hill there steals along
The softest strain of music and of song
The Starry Banner" nations glorious air,
To tell to all of gallant flag still there.
Then Hail Columbia" thousand voices sing
With all their souls, and make the hill-tops ring.
From fire to FIRE, from tent to tent, then flew
The welcome words, Lad sing the Boys in Blue,'s
And well they sang; each heart filled with Joy,
From first in rank to little drummer boy.
Their lusty cheering reached the southern ear.
Men who courted danger knew fear,
And talking DER their scanty evening meal,
Each did grasp his trusty blade of Steel
Soon upon the northern there fell
The air of Dixie" which was loved so well
BY everyone who wore the coat of gray
And is still revered and cherished to this day.
In Dixie Land" they ,swore to live and die,
That was their watchword, that their battlecry;
Then rose on high the wild Confederate YELL
Resembling every hill and dell.
Cheer after cheer went up that starry night,
From men brave saw the light;
Now all is still, each side has played his part
How simple songs can fire a soldiers heart!
But bark! from Rappahannock's stream there floats
Another air; but ali, how changed the notes!
Not those that lash mems passions into foam.
But richest gem of song-twas Home, Sweet Home"
Played by a band that touched the very soul;
And down the veterans cheek the tear-drops stole
Men who would walk to very lannon's mouth,
Now wept like children, from both North and South
Beneath those wellworn coats of gray and blue
Were tender, loving hearts both brave and true
The sentry stopped and rested his gun,
While back to home his thoughts did quickly
Thinking of loving wife and children there
With no one left to guard them, none to care
The STRIPPING lad not strong enough to bear
The weight OF sabre the knapsack's
Tried to stop with foolish, boyish pride
The starting tear; we'll might stop the tide
or ceaseless, rolling ocean, just well,
AS stop those tears which fast and faster fell
Then 10! by mutual sympathy there
shout tremendous forgetting they were foes;
A simultaneous shout which rang from every voice
And seemed to make the very heavens rejoice!
Sweet muscs charm! one chord doth make wild,
But change the strain weep little child;
Touch yet another, charge the battery gun
And by those martial tones, a victory's won.
, IT matters not from whence, how far roam,
No heart 80 Geld that does not love Sweet Home"
