About Bananas.

Children, fruit eaters say, prefer
black bananas with soft, discolored
flesh to the yellow ones with white
and Arm flesh that are usually eaten,
and thus the children show that the
taste Of the young is the healthy taste.
For in Banana Land. say the fruit
eaters, wherever the banana grows,
there 1t is only eaten in q state that
would be called spoiled herein the
tropics what we, call a ripe banana
would be called a green one; its skin
must turn black, it snesh must grow
soft and brownish before the tropic
people or the tropic birds will touch
It.

Character Reflected in Art.

The comparison between the two
schools-French and British art-odd-
ly contradicts the popular idea that
the Briton takes his pleasure sadly,
while the Frenchman has fully the ca
pacity for enjoyment. In art, at all
events, it is the Briton who seems to
be possessed of the happier nature,
and to find the greater enjoyment in
the light and color of the world about
him.

Hawks Killing OF erasshoppers.

Farmers living about six miles
northeast of here were greatly aston
ished Wednesday and Thursday by
the number of hawks coming into that
section. They say there are thou
sands of them, and that they seem to
have come from the North. They are
of good size and resemble the chicken
hawk.
They are feeding on grasshoppers
and are benefting the farmers TO a
degree hard to estimate, as they not
only destroy the insects but seem to
be eating the eggs also, and If they
stay long the grasshopper pest in that
section at least will be destroyed.
