The Indian Statue.
From the Philadelphia Ledger


Many absurd ideas have been circu-
lated about the commemorative statue of
the American Indian which, in accord
ance with Mr.. Rodman Wanamaker. 1t
Is proposed to erect at the entrance to
New York harbor or on some other site
to be designated by Congress. 1t Is not
intended to be a peace memorial, as some
have suggested, but merely a monument
to perpetuate impershably the memory
of the aboriginal inhabitants of America.
Next to assuring just treatment or the
living Indian, the friends of the redskln
could not do better than to insure, by
dignified and appropriate memorial, the
preservation of at least the outward SEM
blance of picturesque type whose
,nournful decadence from his former high
estate is one Of the tragedies OF SOcldi
evolution.
1t may be a rather tardy reparation to
the original occupant of country 10
erect a stutue to him some centuries after
he has been crowded off the most Valua-
BILE portions of his territory, but the pro-
posed monument will at least serve as q
reminder to the present day and genera
ton of the brevity of their tenure OF the
land it will have something of the SUBJ
DUNG effect of the message of the Re
cessional' upon any tendency to over
weenng national conceit based upon the
assumption of age-long ownership, as by
divine right, in this country of magnifi-
cent distances
1t is well to remember that for I'M
known generations ere the advent OF the
white men there were brave and hardy
peoples in our places, many If not most
of whom beled the foolish saying about
the only good Indian.

Original Forbidden Fruit.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle
The banana. which the late Sir Alfred
Jones did SO much to popularize in Eng
iano' is believed by some people to be the
original forbidden fruit Of the Garden of
Eden. In any case. it is one of the curios-
tiles OF the vegetable kingdom. being not
tree. palm, a bush, a shrub, a vege-
table or an herb. but herbaceous plant
with the status Of tree. Although &
sometimes attains height OF thirty feet.
there is no woody fiber In any part OF its
structure, and the punches growing on
the dwarf banana plant are often heavier
than the stalk which supports them, No
plant gives such q quantity Of food to the
acre as the banana; ii yields forty-four
times more by weight than the potato and
LIB times more than wheat. Moreover,
no insect will attack it, and II is all
ways immune from disease of any kind.
Altogether, highly favored plant. and
likely to become even more popular in
this country than it is at the present
time.
