a MOUNTAIN RAMBLE.

II was about s o'clock one warm

brother proposed that we take a walk
or climb up the mountain. which was
about one mile away. I was very anxi-
Gus to go. as had never been before.
SO we started about 8 o'clock. Our
path lay through dence woods and
beside n small rushing stream.
We had not gone very far before we
came TO a little opening in the path.
At one edge OF this little opening was
Il large spring lined with little white
rocks. The little stream which flowed
away around numerous rocks on its
way TO join the large stream that was
several feet away.
My two brothers said that they would
invite several Of their boy friends to
come for camping trip TO this place
We reached the foot OF the mountain

THE BANANA.

The banana is as tropical fruit that
has not been very long used in this
country. 1t was first brought here In
500. There was the first whole cargo
brought here about sixteen years later
There are now 10000. 900 bunches sold
here annually. a bunch has from fifty
10 so bananas.
This fruit is grown all through the
tropical and subtropical regions of
average temperature from the Equa-
tor about 30 degrees north or south
1t is one OF the oldest plants that is
known about. In some parts of the
world the banana is used for almost
anything that can he thought of. They
feed horses on them in some places
instead of hay and other things. In
some places people also cut them up
and fry them instead of potatoes.
The plant has no stalk but only a
curved stem, upon which the lunches
grow. They will begin TO bear about
n year and half or two years after
they are planted. AS soon as the fruit
is ripe the plant dies. and some more
grow up from the roots. The leaves
are Of the most beautiful green color.
In some parts Of the world the
banana is the staff OF life" The peo-
pie grind them and make -four out of
them They rank next to wheat and
rice in their value. because some peo-
pie live almost wholly upon them.
Some Of the most beautiful shawls
which the Indians make arc made
from the fibers OF the banana plant.

THE LIFE OF THOMAS ALyA
EDISON.

One of the most noted inventors that
America has ever produced Is Thomas
! a. Edison. Edison was born February
| H. lS47. in the northern part OF Ohio.
| in little town called Milan.
| He was not sent 10 school much but
/ his we'll educated mother gave to him
NIL the education that he desired. for
/ even under the instruction Of his moth
! err she had hard work in getting him
1 to study his books. The reason of this
! was because his wonderful brain had
already begun it's work toward en-
| tightening modern people by Its
| achievements.
| Once Edison was standing around
| the depot of his home town, and the
! operators son. little James Mckenzie.
! was standing on the track. and at the
Same time n fast train was coming in.
| but at this moment Edison sprang
| after the little boy and saved his life.
| The father OF the boy was SO sorry
| that he had no large sum of money to
| give Edison. and so he told Edison how
much he would like to do something
! for him.
Edison's reply to Mr.. McKenzies
/ want is to learn to be an operator.
| and L want you to teach me-" The
| opera tor was so glad that he could now
do something in return for the boy
| who had saved his son, that Edison
took bis first lesson in telegraphy that
very@ night. Due to his wonderful
| intellect. 1t was but a short time until
| he had a good command Of telegraphy,
| and also made some inventions on the
| telegraph instrument
Edison soon secured n position as
| operator on the Grand Trunk Line but
| due to the outburst of so many new
| ideas in his brain. he was lead by them
! TO neglect his duties. and was there
/ fore soon discharged. He obtained
| many positions in his early days. but
| for this very reason he lost them all
Edison invented a telegraph instru-
ment with which four messages could
| be sent over one wire at the same
time. This Invention brought him a
good sum of money. with which he
built a laboratory at Orange, n. j.
! Several years later he built another
laboratory in Menlo Park, where he
can now be found working just as hard
as ever. He says Life Is so short, and
! have so much to do"
Thomas Edison, by the gift of his
inventive genius. has given to the
world the following achievements:
Electric lights, street cars and the
photograph. all Of which this fast age
has need Of

There are two kinds of coal. an
thracite and butuminous. The blum
!nous coal is used in blacksmith shops,
to drive the engines on the railroads.
In our factories and to heat furnaces.
The anthracite is used mostly for heat
ing homes
If it was not for coal we could not
make iron and electricity which it
would be almost impossible for us to
do without. Coal is also used in
lighting our homes and some OF our
factories. Carbolic acid naptha and
aniline dye are made from coal
1t would be interesting to know how
coal was discovered. About 100 years
ago 4 man named Philip Ginter lived
on Mauchchunk Mountain. near Mauch-
chunk Creek. in CABIN County, Penn
sylvania.
While out hunting one day he built
n fire to cook some of his game for
lying on the ground nearby, and he
picked some of them up and laid
them around the fire to hold the wood
on. While waiting for his game to
roast, he noticed that the black stones
were catching on fire. In few min
utes they were in blaze. When Gin
ter was ready to start home he picked
some of these stones up and took them
with him. He found that they made
good fuel, and in n short time every
body in the neighborhood were using
these little black stones instead Of
wood.

You Know the story the two boys [

see II he might find any lost silver and
pennies dropped by the way. he grew
old and rich and Worn with his search,
but he had passed all the flowers by.
The other was forever with his face
turned toward the stars, and within
his vision came all things beautiful and
lovely: lie grew old, too. but his years
were crowded with the soul OF the stars
and the breath of the little blue flow
crs that grew by the way. and his days
We're joyous and full of happiness
