THE PASSING FRIEND.

Beloved banana, bounteous tree,
What have you done that you should
be
Condemned to die-condemned to
death
Like some foul weed with poisonous
breath!
We can't permit a friend like you
Without a word to pass from view
A friend like you-the very crown,
The JOY and pride of this fair town!
For rich and poor alike your screen
Has kept at bay the foe unseen
The germ, the dust, the noontide glare
While hungry ones have known your
care.
No home so lowly but you kept
Your watch and ward-the inmates
slept
Guarded by you and we surmized
You were a blessing undisguised!
But now we hear you're leagued with
one
Whose very name we've learned to
shun-
That fruitless plants, swambs not a
few an
Are innocent compared with y0upt
And yet we're told, Banana Tree,
In other lands, the powers that be
Disturb you not, but wish you we'll
What does it mean--ah who can tell?
Not common minds-only the wise
Can underestimate our dull eyes
Should open wide, the hidden springs
Might be revealed of many things.
But this we know, Banana Tree,
Doctors do sometimes disagree
And boards of health DO sometimes
err
This quite sub rosa we aver.
And quite sub rosa one word more.
For sciences sake if from the poor
We take their best and feel no shame,
Let's call it by proper name!
The old year wanes-the coming year
Is full of hope-Banana dear,
You may return, may live again,
In the meantime "Auf Wiedersehen."
ANNA NJ PARIS.

matter of destroying bananas was left
to the discretion Of the inspectors and
few if any were destroyed.
RALPH TURNER-On the Tantalus
slope within fifteen minutes walk
from the rear of Punchbowl are bush

myriads of the fruit fly. 1t is but lit

w. II. NJ. AYRES-The anatomical
construction of the wriggler shows
that, like the larva of the dragon-fly,
it hunts for it's living in the water
1t is one of the most ravenOus and
predatory of the minor organisms. 1t
will never be found in the sheathing
of the trunk of a banana palm for
the reason that, on account of the
latter being a repellant habitat, ii
would starve there.

plumber. 1t had perfect drainage

NJ. H. SANDERS-What does the

A. f. COOKE-Up our way the ba.

At any rate, in the rehabilitation Of
Memphis, Tenn, where epidemic vel
low fever claimed 4S7 victims out of
1897 cases when that dreadful sccurge
swept over the extreme Southern
states in 1878, one of the preventive
measures adopted was the tearing up
of the wooden block pavements, with
