BANANAS ARE TENDER.
They Are Easily Chilled and Easily
Become Too Ripe.
“You would not believe how tender
these bananas are,” said a banana
man the other day. “They are more
tender than eggs. They will chill, in
fact, at 52 degrees—that is, the green
ones, while the ripe ones will stand a
somewhat lower temperature,
“A chilled banana never ripens.
While green a banana will bleed when
bruised, exuding a juice approaching
the color of the fruit when it is ripen-
ed. Under the influence of cold this
sap becomes chilled and dried, and the
life is out of the banaha. After that
it breaks like a stick and is of about as
much value as a stick for the purpose
for which bananas are usually bought.
“From the time the bananas are tak-
en green from the trees till they are
sent out by the wholesalers in a condi-
tion approaching ripeness, a period of
nearly a month elapses. At the Cen-
tral American plantations they are
loaded on big scows by negroes, poled
out to fruit steamers and carried up to
New Orleans. They are unloaded also
by negroes, who carry the bunches to
the scales before placing them on the
cars. The whole load, negro, bananas,
and all, is weighed and the African
weight deducted. The produce men
buy the bananas by weight in New Or-
leans, though they sell them by the
bunch here. From the time they leave
the plantation till they are loaded on
the fruit train is usually a period of
about four or five days.
“A messenger who knows bananas
‘from the stalk to the tarantula’ ac-
companies each train. He rides in the
caboose, and he watches those bananas
as a setting hen guards her eggs.
The temperature in the car when they
are loaded is usually from 60 to 70
degrees, Seventy, in fact, is a trifle
too warm. The messeuger is between
two fires all the time, or, to put it more
accurately, he is between heat and
frost all the time. At 52 degrees the
green bananas will chill, while a slight-
ly lower temperature will absolutely
ruin them. If a temperature of 70 or
over be maintained throughout the
Journey of about fourteen days from
New Orleans to the northwest, the
fruit will arrive too soft and ripe and
will very likely be =vorthless before it
can reach the hands of the retailer.
“The fruit should reach here in a
green condition, so as to require a few
days in the ripening room before being
placed on sale, This is a little room at
the rear of the commission house in
which the bananas are placed after
their arrival. There an attempt is
made to reproduce the warm, humjd
conditions of the Central American
plantation. This effect is furnished by
a little gas stove kept burning part of
the time, over which is placed a pan of
water to form the steam.
“Three to five days under these con-
ditions usually place the fruit in shape
to show to the retailer, who comes
along the street with his eye peeled for
the bright yellow color of the ripened
bananas.
“For northern shipment the bananas
are sent out in an unripe condition,
wrapped in heavy manila paper, be-
sides the straw wrapping, which is de-
signed to protect them from bruising
when sent out to the local trade. Some
varieties are totally unsuited to north-
ern shipment, as they would ripen too
soon and be unfit for use before they
reached the northern market.
“It is a remarkable fact in the case
of ripened bananas that, though the
cold will turn the skins a dark copper
brown, giving them a repulsive appear-
ance, the quality of the fruit, as far as
flavor is concerned, is unimpaired. Not-
withstanding this fact, the darkening
of the color spoils their sale in the mar-
ket, as they ‘don’t look good’ to the
all, and not the commission man who
eats them.”—Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
The Sea Otter.
The sea otter combines the habits of
a seal with the intelligence and amus-
ing character of the otter. When met
in herds far out at sea, which is but
seldom now. they are commonly seen
swimming on their backs. They even
eat their food lying in this position on
the water and nurse thelr young ones
on their chests between thelr paws, ex-
actly as a south sea island mother
swims with her baby In the water.
When swimming in this attitude they
even shade their eyes with their paws

PORTABLE VILLAGES.
Turcomans Move Their Houses From
Place to Place,
The Turcomans, who live on the east-
ern shore of the Caspian sea, carry
their villages about with them when
they travel. As a tribe sets out on a
journey every man packs his wooden
house upon a camel, which the animal
can easily carry, and when a spot Is
reached where he and his friends in-
tend to remain for any great length of
time the camels are unloaded and a
village started which it takes about an
hour or so to build.
It is to be remembered that the
houses are real houses and not tents
and that the settlement is not a camp,
but a village. The traveling house of
the Turcoman is a marvel of skill and
ingenuity and is really much lighter,
more portable and can be packed into
a much smaller compass than any of
the so called portable houses that are
manufactured and sold in some parts
of our country.
The frame is made of strong, light
wood laths about an inch broad by
three-quarters of an inch thick, cross-
ing each other when set up in position
at right angles about a foot apart and
fastened at each crossing by the thongs
of rawhide so as to be movable, and
the whole framework may be opened
or shut in the same manner as those
toys for children that consist of a
squad of wooden soldiers and will ex-
pand or close at will so as to form
open or close columns,
One part or more made in this way
and all inclosing a circle fifteen or
twenty feet across form the skeleton
of the walls and are firmly secured in
place by bands of ropes made of hair
or wool fastened round the end of each
rod. From the upper ends of these
rods similar rods bent near the well
and into something less than a right
angle are so disposed that the longer
portions slope to the center and, being
tied with rope, form the roof.
Over this is thrown a covering of
black felt, having in the center a large
hole which answers both for a window
and a chimney. Large pleces of the
same coarse black felt are wrapped
round the walls, and outside these, to
keep all tight, is bound another frame
of split reeds or canes or of some very
light, tough wood bound closely togeth-
er with strong cords.
POINTED PARAGRAPHS.
Too much publicity spoils a good
deed.
Signing your name to a friend's note
is a bad sign.
When riches come in at the window
friends flock to the door.
He who has no faith in himself is
destined to become a successful fail
ure,
The brave and fearless man manages
to get there early and thus ‘avoids the
rush.
A wise man doesn’t attempt to pull
himself out of trouble with a cork-
screw.
If a man is unable to stand pros-
perity he should sit down and give his
wife a chance.
The suspicious man keeps one eye on
his neighbor, but the wise man keeps
both eyes on himself.
Unless a man is willing to ‘take
chances he never takes anything else
that happens to be lying around loose.

Church Pillars.
The joke of the vicar of Withycombe,
Devon, at the Easter vestry as to his
laggard churchwarden being not a
“pillar” but a “buttress” of the church
because he supported it outside re-
minds one, says a correspondent, of
another joke of the same kind deliver-
ed from a London pulpit by the Rev.
John McNeil. John was minister of the
“Scotch church,” Regent square, at the
time and in his own homely way was
driving his points home with telling ef-
fect. He suddenly paused, after ex-
horting his congregation to be work-
ers, and then, with a twinkle in his
eye, said, “You know, I always think
of church members being divided into
two classes—pillars and caterpillars.”—
London Chronicle.
When Making Fast the Flag Balyards
“Many a slender flagpole has been
ruined,” said a rigger, “by drawing the
halyards down too snugly when mak-
ing them fast after hauling down the
flag. If this is done In dry weather
and it comes on wet, the shrinking of
the halyards thus drawn taut to start
with may be enough to bend the pole,
and if it should be left in that way
long enough the pole would be perma-
nently bent. Flag halyards when no
flag is flying should be made fast with
a little slack.”
With a Home,
The great millionaire looked up im-
patiently.
“Well,” he said, “what is it?"
“I desire, gir,” the young man falter
ed, “to marry your daughter, provid-
ed"—
The other frowned.
“Provided what?”
“Just provided,” murmured the
youth,
Vocabularies,
The English language, according to a
German statistician who has made a
study of the comparative wealth of
languages, heads the list with the enor-
mous vocabulary of 260,000 words;
German comes next, with 80,000
words; then Italian, with 735,000;
French, 30,000; Turkish, 22,500, and
Spanish, 20,000.
“Samething Just as Good.”
The pretty darling entered the book-
store. “I want to get ‘Kidnappes,’ by
Mr. Stevenson,” she s2'd,
“Er—I think,” replied the clerk—*1
think I'd like that job myself.”—Bos-
ton Transeript.
