simple little flower which he sold I'M
der the name of the Rhodum sidus.
This charming name proved quite an
attraction to the ladies. and the flower
became the rage Of the season. 1t was
one of those freaks Of fashion for
which there is no accounting. At
length a botanist who found that the
plant was not an uncommon weed re-
quested to know where the nursery
man got the name from. He elected
the following reply: II found this fow-

Gypsies and Death.

The custom Of placing the property
of the dead In their graves has always
been followed by the true Romany
gypsies. 1t is due to some old tradi-
ton of III luck attending the possession
Of an article whose former owner Is
gone. and much valuable property is
buried In this belief. There is also
sentiment among gypsies against the
possession Of anything that has be-
longed to a dead person. because 1t
serves to remind the living of the de-
parted and inspire in them dread Of
death. The custom of burying their
property with gypsy dead dates from
the earliest history of the Romany
tribes.

ORIGINAL FORBIDDEN FRUIT
Banana, the Curiosity Of the Vegetable
Kingdom, Is SO Considered
BY Many.

The banana, which the late Sir
Alfred Jones did so much to popular.
ize in England, is believed by soms
people to be the original forbidden
fruit Of the Garden of Eden. In any
case, it is one Of the curiosities Of
the vegetable kingdom, being not a
tree, a palm, a bush, a shrub, a
vegetable or an herb, but a herbace-
Gus plant with the status of tree.
Although it sometimes attains q
height Of 80 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 quantity Of
food to the acre as the banana it
yields "A times more by weight tlan
the potato and 1873 times more than
wheat. Moreover, no insect will at
tack it, and it is always immune
from disease of any kind. Alto
gcther, a highly favored plant, and
likely to become even more popular
in this country than it is at the pres
ent time.
