A prominent London journal prints
the following indictment of the haDlts
of many English society women: "A
generation back it was among the
lower classes we found intemperance
rife. and then it was the beer OF the
people which supplied the means; To-
day we find intemperance rampant

vehicle being alcohol, impure and sim

these impure sources; then, when
their day is done, they resort to their

not in the vain hope Of nights good

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 finger and each of these
little clusters of fingers surrounding
a stalk is called a 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
plants, or suckers" as they are
termed in order that they may not be.

limit; the fewer suckers on a given
area the larger the fruit they
