An Event In Sunday
journalism.

The people of the middle West are
rapidly discovering that. the Sunday
Magazine of The Chicago Record
Herald is not only a real magazine but
also one of tie greatest in this age of
magazines. Its recent display of enter
prise in paying $4,000 for the exclusive
serial rights Of Conan Doyle's new
romance, "Sir Nigel" compelled even
the editors of the famous mon,hlies to
acknowledge the presence of a new
and powerful rival.
When this was followed by Anthony
Hopes new Zenda romance, "Sophy of
Kravonia," the reading world needed
no further proof that the Sunday Maya
zine of The Record Herald was able to
capture the finest and most costly new
fiction offered in England and America.
Its illustrations and cover designs in
color have from the beginning been OF
unsurpassed beauty and artistic grace,
Its short stories, descriptive articles,
humor. poetry and sketches of all kinds
are the choicest that the literary market
affords, many Of them being written by
the o popular authors and magazine
contributors in the United States. In
short, it is an entertaining, high.class
magazine that will bear comparison
with the best independent weeklies or
monthlies, whatever the price.
There is nothing else like it in Ameri-
can journalism.

How Uncle Sam levies lakes.

One striking feature of the internal
revenue laws is that they neve look to
quality or value, but always to quantity.
The tax on 1000 cigars is three dollars,
no matter whether they are "Pittsburg
stogies" or the Key West brand whose
retail value is, say, twenty-five cents
each. The tax on a "Pittsburg stogie"
is about one-ffth of the retail value; it is
less than one-eightieth the value of the
Key West cigar. The country plowboy
who comes to town Saturday afternoon
and invests five cents in a package con-
tanning three "Old Virginia Cheroots"
pays as much tax into the treasury of the
United States in making his purchase as
does the fellow who buys three cigars for
a dollar. The tax on the cheapest "twist
tobacco" is six cents a pound; it is the
same on the best grade of fne.cut. 1t is
about one-third the retail value of the
twist; it is about one-twentieth the retail
value of the 1ine-cut. On a barrel of
common beer worth four dollars the
tax is one dollar; on a barrel of the best
grade of ale, porter or beer worth twelve
dollars the tax is still one dollar. The
man who buys a quart of Georgia corr
whiskey for fifty cents pays twenty-five
and one-half cents for the whiskey and
twenty-seven and one-half cents tax. A
quart of e~ight-year-old Kentucky bour-
bon, worth at retail one dollar and a half,
has paid but twenty-seven and one-half
cents tax, the other dollar and twenty
two and one-half cents being the value
OF the goods over and above the tax.
The negro frequenter of the New Orleans
"honky-tonk" pays as much tax to the
governmental the purchase price of the
"booze" consumed by him in a night of
wild debauch as does the SWEETEST New
York millionaire in an evening spent at
his club.
"Pale death enters with impartial step
the cottages of the poor and the palaces
of the rich!" Likewise the internal rev.
enue tax-gatherer, equally as certain as
death, makes his demands on the rich
and the poor. But he comes in such a
way that he is not recognized, and not
one time in every million does the mar
who bears the burden of; the tax know
when he is paying it.-From2@""Unel

She left us at the meeting of the ways,

Oh tickle fate that gave this promise
rare,
To close in night; and leave our hearts
to bear
The void, that future years can only
A slight respite from all our woe.
But he who gives may also take away;
He gives in wisdom and makes shor,

And yet we mourn, but lift our hearts
in prayer,
In hope that we shall meet again when
we have climbed the stair.

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

tropical sun.
There is a vast amount of ignorance
prevailing among intelligent people
concerning the growth, production and
marketing of bananas. Many people
imagine that the natives in tropical
cities step out of their huts in the
early morning and pluck and eat ban
anas 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 a green state, are every bit as
good as bananas ripened under a trop-
ical sun. This is probably true of no
other export fruit. The plant of
which bananas is the fruit is not Il
tree, nor is it bush or vine. 1t is
simply a gigantic plant, growing to Il
height of from fifteen to twenty feet.
About eighteen feet from the ground
the leaves, oftentimes 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 ban
anas pointing upward, naturally, and
if 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 position,
Will he Io, % hA -4o1l, nd
the fringes pointing toward the sun.
A word of explanation concerning
some banana terms: Each banana is
called finger" and each of these lit
stalk is called a 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 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 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 overcrowded up to a
certain limit; the fewer suckers on
given area. the larger the fruit they
will produce.

LEGS OF UNEQUAL STRENGTH.
Chicken Freaks that Can't Scratch
in Gardens DeNised hx Farmer.

Chicken Freaks that Can't Scratch
in Gardens Devised by Farmer.
Charles Spencer, of Newton, Sussex
County, New Jersey, had been troubled
greatly by his neighbours chickens
scratching in his garden, so be set 70
work some time ago to devise a hen
that could not scratch or wander away
from its own yard, says the New YORK
World. After many discouragements
he claims to have produced a number
of hens with one leg shorter than the
other by the crossing Of Plymouth
Rocks and bantams.
These hens, he asserts, have a right
leg six inches long and a left leg but
four inches. They are unable to wander
any distance from the coop owing to
their inability to take steps Of the same
length with both legs. Instead, they
walk around IN a circle.
Another Sussex County man says a
Plymouth Rock hen has just Matched
out q brood of eleven chickens which,
instead Of walking like ordinary chick
ems, hop IKE sparrows. He explains
this popularity by the fact that during
the period of incubation the mother
hen was viciously attacked by a flock
Of sparrows.
Aside from furnishing remarkable
example of parental influence, the case
of the hopping chickens is calculated
to furnish strong argument for those
who contend that the hen that matches
the egg, and not the one that lays it,
Is the real mother of the chicken.

Coffee knitted an Old Soldier.

Conec knitted an Old Soldier.
Az old soldier, released from coffee
at II, recovered his health and tells
abort it as follows:
Il stuck to coffee for years, although
1t kaifed me again and again.
About eight years ago Gas a result
Of coffee-drinking, which congested my
liver) I was taken with very severe
attack of malarial fever.
Il would apparently recover and start
about my usual work only to suffer
relapse. After this had been repeated
several times during the year 1 was
again taken violently Ill.
The Doctor said he had carefully
studied my case and it was either quit
coffee or de- advising me to take
Postum in its place. l had always
thought coffee one CT my dearest
friends, and especially when sick, and
1 was very much taken back by the
Doctors decision, for l hadn't suspect
ed the coffee l drank could possibly
cause my troubles.
Il thought it over for few minutes
and finally told the Doctor | would
make the change. Postum was procured
for me the same day and made accord
ing to directions; well, / liked it and
stuck to ii, and since then | have been
a new man. The change in health be-
gan in few days and surprised me,
and now, although I am seventy-two
years of age, do lots of hard work,
and for the past month have been
teaming, driving sixteen miles a day
besides loading and unloading the
wagon. That's what Postum in the
place Of coffee has done for me. | now
like the Postum as well as / did coffee.
Il have known people who did not
care for Postum at first, but after hay
ing learned to make it properly accord
ing to directions they have come to Ike
