UNLOADING BANANA STEAMERS
Quick Work Made of 1t with IA
Work Done INV Hand

Quick Work Made of 1t with IA
Work Done by Hand.
Few if any seagoing vessels coming
into this port are discharged of theil
cargoes in less time than the banana
steamers, says the Pittsburg Dispatch
Not only is Tine money in the banana
trade as in every other, but the freight
these vessels bring is perishable. SC
when they get banana vessel tied uI
the fruit is taken out in mighty short
order
According to size and capacity the
steamers in the banana trade carry
from $4,000 to 10000 punches In a
cargo. The biggest of the boats have
four hatchways and besides four side
ports on each side, through which the
cargo can be discharged. Sometimes
when a vessel lying at her wharf has
moored alongside of her on the water
side float carrying freight cars these
openings might all be used at once, and
then there would be going out Of the
vessel twelve practically continuous
streams of lunches of bananas those
going ashore on the land side being for
local and nearby consumption, and
those going out on the water side into
the freight cars on the floats being for
shipment to Interior points by rail.
At some stages of the work of dis
charging big banana steamber there
may be employed ON or about her from
300 to 800 men. The bananas are not
holsted out. but each bunch is handed
out separately, passed from man to
man along the line.
To handle the punches near the sur
face of the cargo when the matches are
first taken off not so many men are
required, but it takes more men as
they go deeper, and when they have
got down to the hold of the vessel and
they have to begin bringing bananas
to the openings from fore and aft there
may be in each line dozen or more
men, each line stretching from some
point in the vessels hold through some
opening to the point where the bananas,
passed from man to man, going along
these lines all the time; man at each
discharging point tallying the punches
as they go out
Under ordinary favorable conditions
they put 10000 punches of bananas out
of steamer in seven hours.

GREAT EVENT IN cHRlsrENDom.
Worlds sunday school Convention

Worlds Sunday school Convention
to Be Held In Rome.
Next month, in the Eternal City" of
Rome, Italy, there will be held one of
the most important and far-reaching
gatherings of the time-the Fifth
Worlds Sunday school convention.
Previous conventions were held in Lon
don in 1889 and 1898. in st. Louis in
1898. and in Jerusalem in 1904. but the
coming assemblage is expected to sur
pass them all in interest and results.
Extensive plans are already in opera
ton to make it a gathering unique in
the history of the Christian church.
The thousands of delegates and work
ers in attendance will represent 262, 900
Sunday schools, with 26,o00,O00 mem
bers, from Iceland TO Cape Colony, and
from Alaska to Tibet. Men and women
speaking more different tongues and
representing more different sects and
cfeeds will meet in harmonious con-
clave to promote Gods kingdom than
probably ever before in history. While
SAAC OlAAN401 sc VI tAiC NShN
will be English, sectional conferences
will be conducted in German, French
and Italian. The convention will last
four days. from May 20 to the 23d, and
But the most unique meeting of the
gathering will be a vesper service,
which it is planned to hold within the
ruins of the Coliseum 1t will truly
and women of all languages and
tongues singing praises to God on the
spot where the blood of martyrs of our
faith was shed in the early centuries
of the Christian era.
The 'call' for the fifth convention
has been issued by an international
committee of business men and minis
ters representing the Sunday school in
teTests of the world. The body is COM
posed of eleven men for the United
States, an equal number for Great
Britain and others for Germany, Swe-
den, Italy, Switzerland, Mexico and
Canada.
DR.. Bailey, the head of the world
committee, is business man of Phila-
delphia, who is one of the foremost
Christian leaders of that city, and has
long been actively identified with the
Sunday school interests of America,
having been for many years treasure;
of the International Sunday School As
ISOLATION.
The American delegation will go to
Rome in a specially chartered steamer,
the Romantic, just as the delegates in
1904 attended the Jerusalem convention
in a special ship. This cruise will con-
stitute one of the most valuable fea-
lures of the convention, for meetings
will be held on the steamer all the
way going over and returning, and as
stated by DIR. Bailey, several mission
airy conferences will be held The Ro-
manic is expected to leave Boston April
p and en- route to Rome the delegates
will visit the quaint and beautiful ISL
and of Madeira, as well as Gibraltar.

The old-time serpentine skirt weight

is one of the graceful reyivals for slen-

very light shrimp pink as one of the
leaders, are extensively used at the

large wings and some tail feathers
mounted on a small velvet frame, are
finding favor in Paris for matinee wear.
If an embroidered band could be
worked in around the armhole of the
new waist, one of the most insistent
ideas of the hour would be carried out.
One-piece fr0cks are to lead in thin
fabrics this year. The handwork and
insertions on the new white batistes
and mousselines are exquisite in work
manship.
The little Jumper" waist is to be
duplicated in linen next summer and
girls who do fancy work are busily en-
broidering themselves dainty examples
of this mode.
In Paris not a few modish women
have been displaying bare, ungloved
hands and arms in opera and theater
boxes. They wore many jeweled rings
and bracelets.
Black taffeta skirts are most effec-
lively trimmed with graduated bands
of velvet ribbon around the bottom and
on wolfe skirts an equally good effect is
obtained with taffeta bands.

CoIored wit.

Minerva has been in the family q
number Of years, anu she thinks that
her long term of service entities her to
a certain amount of authority, espe-
cially around the kitchen. Not long
ago a negro servant girl, who worked
in a neighboring home, came to the
back door and knocked. Minerva
opened the door.
'Mornin', Minerva" said the girl
from the neighbours house; "Ah wants
to do little borerin' this mohnin."
What yo' want?" asked Minerva.
"Ah wants to borrer two hens aigs,

must exercise her authority. She
stepped outside and looked up over the,
door. Then she said, half to herself,

NO what?" asked the other girl.
