BaLn,y Air Of Montgomery IS
 Developing Bunches Of Bananas.

the fruit to develop and ripen, as even in the Central American countries where the growth and sale of the banana Is one of the principal indus tries, the fruit does not ripen until very late in the autumn, or more prop erly In the winter.
 The tops of the big bushes that do duty for trees that bear fruit are already dropping with the weight or the punches, although they do not boar as many of the individual specimens of the fruit as do the imported punches. But the fruit Is developing in exactly the same manner as in the tropics.
 Each individual banana is sticking out from the central stalk like an ear of corn, and a peculiarity of them is that each one is growing upward and outward toward the light. They are like the sunbiowers of the kwestern prairies, each flower of which in- variably, whether it be morning or evening, turns its face to the great sun from which 1t draws It's life.
 The home of MT. Moffat is surrounded with vines and trees. There are figs and other fruits in the yards, front and rear, and the rustic home is covere~ with climbing vines of various kinda presenting beautiful appearance. But amid all the trees and bushes and vines, the broad leaf banana trees. with their drooping punches of fruit, stand out perhaps the most unique and beautiful of all.

Montgomery as winter resort!

 These are suggestive phrases for the
 next pamphlet issued by the Commercial
 Club, descriptive of Montgomerys mar
 velous climate. And the phrases are
 not imaginative, either; they are found

 For right here in Montgomery there are growing bananas, the one fruit of all others which refuses to develop

 But 1t remained for Montgomery to demonstrate in a practical manner that not only will the banana tree grow in the United States. but that the banana fruit will form and grow and develop under favorable circumstances in this latitude.
 John Moffat, the genial clerk at the Exchange Hotel, has four banana trees growing in his yard at the corner of Hull and Scott Streets and he was surprised g. few weeks ago to find that on each there was formed tiny bunch of bananas. He thought but little of | them at the time. but as time has pass

and Twenty-eighth street, owing to
the breaking of a rope, and shot
through the sewer to it's terminus at
Harlem river and One Hundred and
Thirty-first street. That he came out
alive is considered remarkable.
With several other employees Hoff-
man was at work repairing the main
sewer. They had almost finished their
labors when a heavy rainstorm start
ed. Hoffman was down in the hole
about four feet above the swiftly flow
ing water. Around his waist was a
rope, which was held by the men in
the street above.
AS the water poured into the va
rious sewers leading into the main
pipe, the water rose higher and the
rope broke and Hoffman fell into the
water.
His fellow workmen instantly dash
ed up the avenue to One Hundred and
Thirty-first street, where the sewer
runs into the Harlem river. Just as
they reached the spot, Hoffman shot
out into the river. He landed near a
boathouse float, swan to it and held
on until a policeman and workmen res
cued him.
After being given dry clothes he
went home. He told the policeman
that he went through the eve 80

had to stop to cuff each other. The
cowardly dog wouldn't go near them,
and a bullet from the old mans gun
laid him low for good. Then the bean
pole and the lantern were rugged up
and the thieving bears put to fight.
The next day he came to town, eight
miles, to get a Justice Of the peace to
tell him the law about bears. When
he learned that he had a perfect right
to kill bears when they were discov-

stealing, Cromister used language not
found in the spelling book. He went
back home. loaded his rife anew-and
since then not a single bear has shown
itself around the Cromister premises.

FAT PoRkER LANES MAN.
Runs Between His Legs and Packing.
House Worker Has Broken Hip.

Indianapolis. - Never-oh! never

at the plant Of Kingan & Co., meat
packers, allow a fat pig to run be-
tween his legs. On his little white cot
at the City hospital Main now NUT

Corn Relish.

Materials-Two dozen ears of corn,
six large white onions, one large, firm
head of cabbage, six small red pep.
pers, six large sweet peppers, one cup
sugar, two quarts vinegar, one-quarter
cup salt, two heaping tablespoonfuls
ground mustard, two tablespoonfuls
celery seed.
Way of Preparing-Take a sharp
knife and, after husking, shave the
corn from the cobs. Chop your cab.
bage, onions and peppers. Mix your
mustard with one pint of your vine.
gar and mix all of the other ingredi-
ents. Then place the latter mixture
of all the ingredients into a kettle and
boil them 20 minutes, stirring all the
time. Now add your mustard and
vinegar mixture, bring to the boiling
point once more, place in bottles and
seal while hot. This relish is a fine
accompaniment of cold meats.

TO UTILIZE BITS OF SOAP.
Il Is Lxtravagant to Throw Away the
Odds and Ends.

Soap left over from the toilet, the
laundry and the kitchen is usually
considered SO much waste. It is
thrown out, though probably most
housewives have misgivings as to the
extravaganza Of not using the last
scrap of an expensive or good soap.
But every small piece Of soap should
be saved. No matter to what tiny di.
mansions it has been reduced it will
help to clean the bathtub and the sta
tionary washstand. This may be &C.
complished by means of a substantial
cotton or wooden bag, which should be
about a foot square and made with a
drawing string. Into it is dropped
from time to time the bits of soap
collected from the bedrooms, the bath.
room, the laundry and the kitchen.
The bag is closely drawn at the mouth
and the string wound about the top
and then tightly tied. When this bag
is dipped into water the contents give
forth plenty of suds, and the whole
may be used as a cleaning cloth to
scrub the bathtub and marble bowl.

Prefers Suicide to School.

Chicago made up my mind to
die because my mother tried to force
me to go to a private school out of
town."
In these few words Irene Claude, 16
years old, residing with her parents
on North Paulina street, explained her
unsuccessful attempt at s%elf-destruc.
ton. She was found reclining on a
bench in Lincoln park. Her unusua;
posture attracted the attention Of Park
Policeman Pere. He detected the
odor Of carbolic acid and noted her
burned lips. She was taken to the
German hospital. When her father
and mother arrived she refused to
talk.
