Many aoss Reasons Why the esasss
Has o Perfect Right to That
Classification,

Bananas, according to legend cur
rent in tropical countries, are the orig
inal "apples" of the Garden of Eden
along with the serpent and Mrs.
Adam, the cause Of mans fall. At
least, they tend to serve similar pur-
pose in these times, because they. are
almost equal to the coconut palm as
an aid to idleness.
An acre of bananas will yield 50
times as much food as an acre of po-
tatoes and $50 times as much as wheat.
The banana is immune to almost every
plant disease and has fewer insect
enemies than any other fruit. 1t will
grow on poor land, if need be, and
will distance any weed or shrub that
tries to contest it's claim to soil and
sunlight.
The banana is the neither fish,
flesh, nor fowl" of the plant king
dom. 1t is usually classified as a
tree, but it is not tree. Although 1t
attains q height of 80 feet there is
no wood fiber in the stalk. The
punches of fruit on the dwarf varie-
ties are often heavier than the re
mainder of the plant. 1t is not a
palm, nor an herb, nor a bush, nor Q
shrub, and it is not vegetable. In
some distant way it may be related
to the grasses, but the relationship
is so distant that it stands in a elias:
by itself.

Eyes.

Eyes are bold as lions-roving, run
ming, leaping, here and there, far and
near. They speak all languages. They
wait for no Introduction; they are no
Englishmen; ask no leave Of age or
rank; they respect neither poverty nor
riches, neither learning nor power, nor
virtue, nor sex, but intrude, and come
again, and go through and through
you, in moment of time. What in
undation of life and thought is dis.
charged from one soul into another,
through them! The glance Is natural
magic. The mysterious communion
ton established across a house be.
tween two entire strangers moves all
the springs Of wonder. The communi-
cation by the glance is in the greatest
part not subject to the control Of the
will.-William Ware.

The Buddhist Hymnal.

Yamanaka was strong Buddhist
and leader in the movement to re-
vive and reform Buddhism and estab-
lish it as a bulwark against the rapid
encroachment Of Christianity.
He decided an excellent way to do
this was to found a high school for
girls which would he more attractive
than the Christian women's. So he
erected fine buildings and installed
modern methods. He hired good teach
ers. All the paraphernalia of the best
western schools was taken over. In
fact, the curriculum was about as close
as it could be to that of the Christian
school not far away. All except as to
religion. Buddhism was a prominent
feature of the inStitution-not the old
fashioned Buddhism, but the new form
which has borrowed freely from Chris
tianity, even down to the Sunday
school hymns. The girls were taught
TO sing the. famous old Christian
hymns with only the word Buddha
substituted for that Of Christ.-The
Christian Herald.

spt sysn at That, the Mound Is Justly
Appreciated in That Flat
Country.

1t seems absurd to speak Of hill
In Holland, but if the best gaessers
are right the name of the country is
from our word hollow" meaning a
depression in the land. An American,
however, found at Gronigan a hin that
was the showpIace of the town. 1t
was artificial.
'There is fine hill in the Plan
taage," said his companion, a Hol-
lander "and from the summit Of. it you
will be able to see the country for a
great distance around"
1t interested the American greatly
to hear that there was such thing as
hill in Holland.
'But where is it?" he asked, looking
around the interminable plain. Il can
see no hill"
1T is just over there, but you can
not see it, for it is hidden by that
buSh!"
The American assembled this fine hill,
which proved to be an artificial mound
not 20 feet in height, but the natives
are very proud eff it and speak of 1t
as if it were some huge mountain. AS
an instance of how successfully a
Groningener is deceived by his adlni-
ration for the town hill, 1t may be
mentioned that the Americans COM
,anion heaved deep sigh, mopped his
face and dropped as if exhausted in
! chair, thoughtfully placed there by
inc corporation for this object, when
he reached the summit.
But to do this eminence justice II
must be admitted that the hill is be-
'ond~ dispute above the level Of the

THE LUCKY THREE

Only three men out Of every hun
dred have a savings account at the
age of forty-five, ninety-seven per cent
of them losing their entire savings
in some reverse.
Are you taking a chance, thirty
three to one, on being one Of those
ninety-seven? Or are you making sure
that you will answer present" when
the roll of three is called? It's just
as easy to be in this latter class as
In the frst-if you think. Ninety.
seven men out of every hundred don't
think, saving spasmodically, II they
save at all, and investing In securities
of which they do not know the value.
Government securities are absolute
ly safe, pay high rate Of interest
and are easily obtainable in small de-
nominations Save regularly and
safely, and you will be sure to be
among the lucky three.

Jay Cooke, former food administrator
and now the head of the city ice com
mittee, will meet with his committee
this afternoon in the Office of John A.
Nogelson. chief Of the~bureau of health

Reports by various ice producers of
Philadelphia and vicinity will be read
and statistics produced on the output
and delivery of ice by different con
Germs, and the comparison of those fig
ures with those of last year. Before
the meeting Mr.. Cooke said:
II hope it wont be necessary to
make any reductions in the quantity
Of ice allowed to consumers. Every
thing is working very smoothly. We
are going to look over the reports from
all the producers Of ice and will make
our decision from them
Chief Vogelson declared that the
moderate weather has greatly assisted
the plan for the. conservation of ice.
1T would be almost impossible for us
to initiate such campaign with the
torrid weather we had around the first
of the month.

report. In the meantime the leper may
be on his way back to Boston.
IF he had sense enough to stay in

said one of the medical officials yester

attendants looked the other way when
the door was open and that the escape
occurred in that way.

1.-THE law must be respected. 1t re-
