under the microscope to observe the
various parts of which it is COM

flexible and when in use, taking up
liquids, is alternately extended and re.

processes which differ in appearance
from hairs and therefore no doubt it

with the outside world by means of
a groove marked G.. If now the
amount of nectar in flower is small

hollow in the glossa. If the amount
is SO large that all of it cannot be ta-

Gaynor's Reformed vagrant Frien

Gaynor's Reformed Vagrant Friend.
Mayor Gaynor held an earnest con.
sultation on the Brooklyn bridge with
a dark-coated person of mysterious
origin. When the two had walked to
the Manhattan side the mayor stop
ped, pointed Brooklynward and said
firmly, go home, and be quick about
it."
The mayor became acquainted with
his companion some time ago, when
he found him homeless wanderer
at the bridge with only wagging tail
and an intelligent eye to recommend
him. He took the little black dog in
tow, claimed ownership and presented
him to Captain Burke of the bridge
police squad. Ever since then the
dog, which answers to the name of
Dark, has been on hand to meet the
mayor in his morning walks.-New

The beggar maid was walking

BANANA AS A REGULAR FOOD
Thoroughly Deserves the Growing Fa.
vor With Which II Is Coming
to Be Regarded.

For long time bananas have been
used in Europe as food, and particular
ly so since they have been carried rap
idly at relatively low prices and in
good preservation, thanks to cold
storage.
The punches of bananas are cut be-
fore the fruit Is quite ripe, and they
are allowed to ripen only. during the
voyage or on their arrival. Of course
these bananas, says M. Winckel in
an article in the Paris Journal de
Pharmacie ct Chimie, have not so
fine an odor and taste as in their
native country. If, for example, an at
tempt were made to extract the essen
tial oil of bananas from such fruits
only weak return would be obtain
ed in regard to both quality and guam
tity..
And when, on the other hand, it is
borne in mind that 40 per cent of the
fruit consists of the peel one must ad-
NIT that it was very happy idea to
import these fruits perfectly ripe and
with their entire odor after having
dried them, and in condition in which
they contain only small quantity of
water. Bananas preserved in this
way are to be found on the market
under different names and sold very
cheap.
The unripe green banana contains
80 per cent. of starch and only from
three to four per cent. of sugar. On
the contrary, the ripe fruit contains
70 per cent of sugar and only two per
cent of starch.
Bananas are digested rapidly and
easily, leaving scarcely any waste.
They are very suitable to the nourish-
ment of children, owing to the large
amount of sugar they contain. Dried
bananas are admirably fitted for pop
ular food.

BelImakers in England.

That the English as a nation are
not bell lovers is suggested by the
fact that there are only two important
foundries devoted exclusively to bell
making in the country-one at Long
borough and one in the Whitechape
road, London. The latter was estab
lished so long ago as 1870. and has
turned out many famous bells. includ
ing London's own Bow Bells" The
peculiar magic in the tones of bell
is due to it's striking not single
note, but a chord, and to obtain the
perfect octave entails an immense
amount Of calculation and skill. The
bell caster, therefore, has to be not s
mere mechanic, but highly trained
specialist.
