THE UNDERvALUED BANANA.

The dictum that fruits should be eaten 'in their season. finds it's lini- tations as regards variety in, the tenn oerate zones at certain periods of the year There is, however, one fruit

For despite the fact that over forty million punches are reported to have been brought to the United States last year, it is popularly stated in many quarters that the banana is diff fcuIt of digestion and may give rise to alimentary distress.
 4 closer consideration of the com position of the banana, may serve to eIucidate the situation. The fruit is brought to our northern markets ~reen. and is ripened by artificial heat This process can be haStened Or de- ayed within certain limits according o the momentary demands of the re ail trade.

 French cypress is a better wheel wood than the English stock because rather than fracture cleanly. But cy- press is objectionable in that it is a comparatively soft wood. Al the Eu- ropean companies are much interested in American hickory, as they realize its superior tensile strength and other de- srabIe qualities when compared to their woods.
 Many persons make the mistake of turning a fine stream of water with great force against the side of the body and take the mud off the side of the vehicle by a sort of hydraulic mining process, which not only re- moves the littlee spots of mud, but takes the finish along with it. The secret is to play the stream gently on the mud, thus softening it and causing it to flow from the body with out disturbing the delicate finish be- low it.

 Inasmuch as bananas are commonly eaten uncooked, it Is obvious that more or less raw starch will be in gested if the fruit is not ripe l. e., if the skin has not begun to shrivel and darken. Raw starch may be singu- larly irrittting to the alimentary tract of man and is at best. poorly utilized, whether it be ingested in the form of uncooked potatoes, chestnuts, bananas IT other native starchy foods No one would advise the use of uncooked pc tatoes; yet many people eschew a thoroughly ripe banana in the belief that this wholesome fruit is rotten; when the skin becomes darkened. whereas they eagerly eat the yellow green Starch-bearing' fruit at a. stage of incomplete ripeneSs.

 Tyler was so preoccupied with his ambitious plans that he was not abe to bridIe his tongue, and he also i'm mediately opened his heart to the wrong man (Botts of Virginia), In this conversation 1t was said Tyler -a'sed the question why he f1ould con- fine himself to a four years Presidency y and not contemplate one Of twelve. The first four years were only Harri- sons term of office and might very we'll be followed by two other terms of office in his own right, so to speak.
 Ty'er was not man who could be convinced of the folly of his hopes. His organ, the Aurora, set him up as a candidate at the beginning of July, 1843. The Madisonian1 which was near ese to the White House, then indeed declared, on the 9th of January, 1S44: between MT. Clay and MT.

He now, as well as previously, listened greedily to the stories he was told of he might with which the masses had risen up for him, and when a national convent on at Baltimore-the sorriest meeting of this name in the history )f the United SIates-nominated him 0n the 27th day of May he UnwiIIingly accepted the candidacy.

D. Newcomb of Jefferson County, has introduced a bill to fix the speed of automobiles and to raise the license f fees. One of the salient features of the bill is that it makes the owner responsible with the driver, in case O. accident, whether the owner is pres ent or not, and makes the owner or chauffeur, or both. liable for actual as well as punitive damages. Upon seeing a horse the machine driver must come to a full stop at the right of the road, and must dismount from his machine and lead the horse past it.
 When seeking to stop rattling noises attend first to the brake bands. then lamps and finally doors and latches- ings are in proper order and that the contents, oe the tool box are properly "damped'' against vibration by means of clothes or cotton waste. The brakes which formerly were the worst offen- ders, usually are pretty well siIenced in modern, well-built cars, but some times. where the bands themselves do not chatter, the connecting parts may be subejct to a certain amount of rlay which can be removed by the judicious use oS few washers.

 It will sometimes happen that the adjusting screw on the vibrator horn will work loose in much the same manner as the screw on a bell bug ger When this happens the rap!dity of vibration is decreased and hence the volume of sound will suffer. When this becomes noticeable it is a very simple matter to remove the cover from the vibrator box of the horn and tighten up the vibrator screw, which will be found very esy to get at in any of the modem horrS upon tn market. Another thing which will oeten happen in connection with a rough tour is that mud vii be tossed into the horn and often will go so far as to lodge on the d'aphram of the horn This may be readily removed by talk ing out the protector and cleaning out wha teVer has made It's way into the interior of the instrument.
 An interesting feature of both the wire and wood wheels abroad, is the quick-acting removing hub. making it possible to detach the wheel from the hub and replace with another.
