"Clapp's poor showing in the first

been viewed with considerable alarm
bv other office holders in Washington

There are also several other things the
matter with Nose. Personally, we think
his is a case in which absence makes the
heart grow fonder-we dread to think
what might have happened had he come
home more frequently.
It never pays to take the faults OF our
friends too seriously. Often what we es-
TEEN blemishes Of character are only the
results of lack of early training in self
control. After all, what is a friend any
wav. but one whom we should constantly
safeguard? Everyone of us is as full OF
faults as nut is of meat The very ma
ture of our being, demands that we place
reliance upon some one, and IN as mucn
as others must excuse our faults it is only
fair that we excuse the faults Of others.

An interesting discovery Is reported
from England, which is along the line
OF chemical research which Is attract
ing so much attention all over the
world ia utilizing the waste. An Eng
lish chemist experimental with banana
stalks to determine whether the fiber
could be used for paper making. Dur
ing the examination he noticed that
the juice was sufficiently alkaline TO
cause irritant action on the skin, and
this led him to examine it further, with
the result that he found there was
present large percentage Of potash
and practically no soda. His analysis
has been confirmed by DR.. Hanley, OF
the Leeds University. In fact the
figures showed that the dried matter
Of tho original stalk was as rich in
potash as kainit According TO his
analysis ton OF banana stalks would
yield ISIS pounds OF dried matter con-
tanning 1871 per cent OF potash, or
nrS-fonr pounds OF ash containing
AS per cent Of potash, or twenty-five
pounds of Pure potash. This offers an
important addition to the source OF
the article, as the plant can be grown
