such events in a suitable way may be

SAVED THE LANDS.
How De Cosmus' Great Speech Hap
pened to BE Delivered.

The longest speech on record is be-
de Cosmus in the legislature Of British
Columbia when measure was pend
ing the passage Of which would have
taken from a great many settlers their
lands De Cosmus was in minority.
The measure had been held back till
the eve of the close Of the season or
session. Unless action was taken be-
fore noon of a given day the act would
fail. De Cosmus got the floor Mt 10
a. m. and began speech against the
bill. Its friends supposed he would be
done by o'clock. At o'clock he was
saying, "In the second place" At 3
he produced fearful bundle Of evil
dence and insisted on reading 1t.
Then the truth dawred. He was go
ing to speak till noon the next day and
kill the bill. Then they made merry
over it and tried to shout him down,
but that gave him time and breathing
space. They finally settled down to
watch the combat between the strength
of will and weakness Of body. They
gave no mercy, no time for dinner or
wetting lips with water and no sitting
down. Members went to Cine and
sleep in squads, but De Cosmus went
on. Day dawncd.
The speaker was alternately doing
and trying to look wide awake. At
last noon came, and single nan was
triumphant. Although his voice had
sunk to a husky whisper, his eyes were
bleared and bloodshot, his leg tottered
under him, his baked lips were cracked
and smeared with blood, De Cosmus
had spoken for twenty-six hours and
saved the lands.

lings made of coarse -four. He tasted
them, liked them and asked for more,
and when he got to Vienna. to the hor-
ror of the royal cooks, he ordered the
same dumplings to be served up daily.
The courtiers were scandalzed that
such coarse dish should figure on
the menu. and even his physicians re-
monstrated against the use of such
food.
The emperor had always been the
most plant of men, but he now show
persisted in gratifying his new fancy.
Finally the physicians pretended that
1t was dangerous to his health to be
living on dumplings and insisted on his
giving them up. The hitherto docile
sovereign stamped his foot and de-
clared that he would never sign anoth-
er official document If his diet were
denied him.

RELATING TO IRON.
Discovery of the Metal, According to
Various Authorities.


Various Authorities.
The Bible speaks of Tubal Cain as
the discoverer of iron and the father
of smiths. The Egyptians imputed to
Hephaestus the same honor, while PHI
ny mentions it having been discovered
by Dactyles on Mount Ida after the
forests on the mountain side had been
destroyed by lightning. This was about
1,432 years b. C. jeremiah and Eze-
kiel both mention iron in their Scrip
tural writings. the latter specially men
tioning two qualities of the metal and
calling one bright iron. which was prob
ably steel.
Moses mentions an iron furnace, and
Job speaks of it us being taken out of
the earth. Thousands of years before
the opening of the Christian era the
Egyptians used iron In making sickles,
knives and such things. Sparta first
used iron for money. Britain also used
it as medium of barter and exchange
prior to the conquest by the Romans.
The Britons before the time of Christ
used to export iron to Gnul and after
the Roman conquest the conquerors es-
tabished extensive smelling works,
which existed at least as late as the
Saxon conquest.-St James Gazette

THE BANANA PLANT.
Each Tree Produces Only One Bunch
of the Fruit.

of the Fruit.
The banana plant is not properly
tree at all. 1t has no woody fiber. 1t is
large, green fleshy plant, with big
leaves six or eight feet long and some
times two feet broad 1t grows to
height of ten to fourteen feet or even
more, according to the variety of
plant and the soil and climate. Each
tree produces one bunch of fruit only,
which is really the terminal bud of the
plant. just like an ear of wheat or
barley. 1t has no branches, and when
the fruit is ready. which is twelve or
fifteen months from the date of plant
ing. the tree is cut down and done
with.
But while it is growing up and ma
turing its fruit it is at the same time
sending up from its roots other young
plants or suckers perhaps eight or
nine of them. Each of these will pro-
duce its own bunch in turn some Of
them In couple of months after the
parent plant, and there will thus be
regular succession of fruit. Many of
these suckers have to be dug up and
planted elsewhere, or they would be
too thick Oh the ground.
And there is this popularity about
the banana: You can plant it at any
season. and the fruit ripens all the
year round. When once banana field
has been planted out. all that is neces-
sary to be done is to keep 1t clear of
weeds and keep thinning out the multi
plying suckers.
