YELLOW BANANAS NOT RIPE
Reach That Stage When Peel Turns Golden Hue and Begins to SpeckIe
 on Brown Shades.

Bananas have higher caloric value than any of our other common fruits. Unlike most other fruits they are all ways in season.
 Such is the first conclusion come to by Drs. Victor c. Myers and Anton R. Rose, after careful analysis of bananas and of their effects upon per sons fed with them. The studies were made at the Laboratory of Pathologi- cal Chemistry, New York Post-Gradu- ate Medical School and Hospital, and the report is published in the Journal of the American Medical association.
 But the bananas must be ripe, and bananas as generally sold are not nearly ripe. A yellow banana is not ripe. "When the yellow of the peel turns golden hue and begins to speckle on the brown shades, it may safely be considered fully ripe" says the report, land the spread of the brown discoloration does not condemn the fruit ae over-ripe as long as the

Waste of Time.

Ephraim Jones was charged with stealing dozen and half jars of peach jelly from Mrs. Watson's eel lar. He stood in humble silence while the arresting officer and the judge dis cussed the demerits of the case. "He did it all right, your honor," said the policeman. Il was watching him when his head peeped through the door. His arms were filled with jars." "Yes." continued Judge Briles. From all I can understand, this pris- Oner deliberately broke into that eel lar, waited until he thought the coast was clear and then grabbed up as much as he could carry. Ethically, it is apparent, moreover, that" The prisoner broke in at this juncture. "Pawdon me, jedge," he declared, 'but what's de use en yo' folks wastin' all CT dis yere legalish talk?

Teaching Child to Read.

child is best taught to read in the natural method, by means of objects. His words or short sentences contain ing the same words repeated in diff ferent connection, are written on the blackboard. ane he quickly learns to recognize these and to read at sight, first words in script, then in type. When he is made to copy the black board words at each lesson, he learns to read and write both at the same time.

With a shrinking aversion TOT Walt ing in so public place, Helen sought a secluded seat at the end of the cor ridor. It was now twenty minutes or seven and Warren had said six-thlrty sharp.
 A throbbing orchestra mingled with the hum of voices and shuffiing of feet. A gilt-braided page dashed by shout- ing Mir. Yates! Mir. Caldwell v A messenger boy passed through with handful of telegrams.
 How are you, girlie?" The man on the lounge beside her Helen rose to greet girl in an abbreviated checked suit. twenty-button boots, patent leath- CT hat and white fox boa.
 A pretty blonde girl pOwdering her nose with her gold chatelaine access sories, was now joined by an elderly youthfully groomed man with gray spats and carnation in his button hole
 Some of the couples strolled toward the white-and-rose dining room, but most of them passed out, making no pretense of patronizing the Astorbilt beyond using it as a convenient meet ing place.
 To Helen it seemed an imposition upon the hotels hospitality. The wom- en were flagrantly the greater para sites. They used the dressing room, the powder, the service of the attend ing maid, wrote their notes on the ho- tel stationery, appropriated few ex- tra sheets; then met their friends in the corridor and sailed off to dine at some cheaper or livelier restaurant.
 Possibly the hotel folks counted on a percentage of future clientele from this seemingly profitless patronage, it.
 Watching with absorbed interest this shifting panorama, it was ten minutes of seven when Helen next glanced at the clock.
 Had Warren been detained at the office7 He was usually most prompt never more than few moments late.
 AnxfOuSly she rose and strOlled through the main lobby. There were countless men in gray business suits and rough straw hats-but Warren was not among them.
 When she returned to her seat it was taken. Every chair and lounge that Hned the walls of this popular corridor was now filled. Apparently seven o'clock was the universal meet ing hour.
 Feeling painfully conspicuous Helen stood by one of the marble columns / Surely he would not keep her wait ing here unless something serious had detained him.
 The bronze clock over the archway proclaimed seven. Again she walked through in the vain hope that he might be waiting in the lobby. Pass ing the mems cafe-she stopped short with leaping heartbeat.

At the second wall table, his back toward the door-sat Warren. A tall, gray-haired man was opposite him. They were leisurely talking and smok- ing over a leisurely glass of Scotch.
 The blood rushed to Helen's face. That he should let her wait for over half an hour in public corridor while he lounged here!
 Aquiver with indignation, she stood in the doorway. expecting him to turn, but his cigar finished. he drew out another and reached for the match safe.
 Blindly she rushed back through the corridor. Smarting under this humiliating neglect, her mind leaped to action.
 Her cheeks ablaze, she made for the ladies' waiting room. With tense- ly held pen she scrawled:
 T have waited here since half-past six. Now l am going home. When you are quite through-you can either phone or come after me-"
 Again she was at the door of the cafe. Reckoning passing page, she thrust the note in his hand with an agitated:
 Give this to the gentleman in the gray suit at the second table p
 Pausing only long enough to see the boy approach Warren, she darted across the lobby. through the revolv- ing doors and down the street to the subway.
 Her thoughts still chaotic, she reached their darkened apartment. Without even turning on the lights, she groped her way to her room and threw herself on the couch in par oXysm of angry tears.
 That he should have treated her with so little consideration or respect With all his brusque neglect he had pointed meetings. And now for him to spend q deliberate half-hour in the mems cafe while she stood waiting in the public corridor
 The thrilling bell sent her stumbling through the dark. There was some II. Then her ieaping hope dropped sick eningly as central drawled: Excuse 1t, please"
 Turning on the lights, she sank on the window seat. Why did he not phone? He knew she would be home by this time. Was he coming for her? Her anxious gaze strained down the dark street.
 Twelve minutes to eight! Ten-flve It was the library clock she was watching now.
 The stimulus of her flaming indig nation slowly ebbed before the sick consciousness that he intended neither to telephone nor to come for her.
 The long, lonely, wretched evening lay before her. This was his punish ment for her note What if he had had some very good excuse? But she could conceive of none that was plaus ible.
 The physical depression resulting from no dinner added to her mental distress. She forced herself out to the icebOx. There was cold meat and some leftover asparagus, but, too heartsick to eat, she gulped down a glass of milk.
 Where was he dining? She pictured him lingering over a carefully ordered dinner with leisurely indifference. Again her resentment flared up, but only to die down before the realization of his ability to make her suffer.
 The old consciousness of beating her

A tool for extracting broken set screws is described by the Scientific American as resembling drill with coarse left-handed thread. hole is drilled into what remains of the screw or bolt the extractor is inserted and as it turns it exerts reverse infiu- ence on the broken screw and backs the latter out on it's own thread.

In Case of Fire.

The grammar school principal went from room to room explaining what to do in case of fire. The pupils listened with respectful attention until he came to his final instructions, then smiles and giggles disturbed the principals serenity. "AbOve all things" he said, If your clothing catches fire, remain cool"

self against st 1e wall over whelmed her Not lately, but in the first year of their marriage, she had fiared out at Warren's selfishness. only to recoil in helpless defeat.
 By ten o'clock she knew that he was adding to her punishment. He was not coming home after dinner. He had probably gone to the theater.
 How futile-how pathetic had been her uprising! It had only reacted to her greater humiliation. With a fe- verish headache and a choking pressure at her throat, she made ready for bed.
 It was almost twelve before there came the tensely awaited click of his latchkey. With her arm shielding her eyes, Helen lay feigning sleep.
 Through her closed lids shone the yellow blur when he turned on the light. Familiar sounds told the prog ress of his undressing.
 The glow darkened, and the springs quivered as he got into bed. Now, staring into the darkness, Helen strug- gled against the impulse to turn to- ward him-to talk it out-to get his explanation, whatever it might be. But his silent remoteness was sternly forbidding
 The honk of belated motor grated on the midnight hush. The bedside clock ticked insistently
 While she was trying to formulate some pleading overture, he broke the silence with harsh "Well, you made fine mess of things tonight!''
 "Oh-Oh," nestling closer, for even this brusqueness was a relieving break. Then, sObbingly: "Oh, dear, why why did you"
 That half-hour with George Win stone meant clean fifteen hundred. That's why!'

 T was to meet him at five-thirty, but bunch of reporters fairly mObbed him-we couldn't get down to busi-

 But afterward-you could have phoned after 1 got home.'
 "Could-but wouldnt!' ignoring the supplicating hand slipped under his shoulder You mixed your dose-don't kick if you had to take 1t. Missed a corking good dinner, too-rd planned a blowout"
 With the memory of her aching lone Illness glowed tantalizing picture of the forfeited dinner

 "Oh, yss-yes," eagerly. There's some cold lamb and asparagus and Oh, I'll make you welsh rarebit !' Already out of bed, she was fumbling for the light "We'H have real mid night supper. No, you lie there-Tll bring it in on tray"
 Aglow with reactionary relief, she flew out to the kitchen. Just to do something for him, to wait on him seemed a joyous compensation for the desolate wretchedness of the evening.
