'Tlicro Is evidently mi erroneous Idea abroad eoiiecnilni: the harvesting of the banana i'i(ip," said :i 111:111 who has been for seven years on a plantation In Honduras. "The statement that four or Uve erops of bananas are harvested a year Is entirely Incorrect. A crop Is har vested on an average of every fifteen days throughout the year. Each thrifty banana plant has many suckers or stalks growing from a single root at the same time. One or more bunches of the ripening fruit are cut from n sin Hie stalk, while the other stalks grow ing from the same root are left un touched, and in fifteen days another of the stalks Is shorn of Its fruit. This process continues Incessantly during the year. In July and August It is necessary to cut off the ripening bunch es every ten days, while in December and January about once a month is KUlllclent, the average throughout the year being practically fifteen days."

Who Were The) f To one great fact do all the most an cient epochs of history bear witness; one and all they prove the existence In n yet more remote past of an already advanced civilization such as could only have been gradually attained after long and arduous groping. Who were the lnaugiirators of this civilization? Who were the earliest inhabitants of the en nil? To what biological conditions were they subject? What were the physical and climatic conditions of the globe when they lived? ty what flora and fauna were they surrounded? Hut science pushes her Inquiry yet further.

Tree KIUm Tree. A Victoria clergyman had an orange and n pine tree In his garden. One spring it was noticed that the orange tree was drooping, and on digging down he found that the roots of the pine, which stood at some distance, had twisted around the taproot of the orange tree and were strangling It to death. The offending roots were un twisted and cut away, and the droop ing plant revived. The tree eventually died. Then on digging down at a greater depth the clergyman found the pine had attacked the orange root low er down and accomplished Its murder ous end. A Hint to the Rnccnnred. There Is a superstition which snys that engaged couples who are photo graphed together never get married. Superstition is gradually dying down, so that few would be kept back by nn old woman's saying. There Is, how ever, one thing which should keep en gaged coujiles from being photographed together, and that Is the thought Hint if either or both should marry some one else the fewer tokens there are of previous love affairs the greater Is the chance of happiness In the finnl choice, C'ntehlnw Pincnnx In QueenMoirn.

There lire many people who do not tnow what the real shamrock Is. The jlnnt which Is often called shamrock 1 ml generally passes for It In Ireland s the Trlfolluni repens, or white clo ver. This plant could not have been the one which St. Patrick held up to Illustrate the doctrine of the Trinity, as It has been known only 2tX) years In Ireland and Is a cultivated plant and not native to the soil. Edmund Spenser says of the Irish of that "whenever they found a plot of shamrocks, or watercress, they had a feast. There were some who gob bled the green food as It came, some looked for the faultless stalk and the bloom on the leaf." This shamrock of Spenser's time waa without doubt tho Oxalls acetosella, which Is commonly known as wood sorrel. It makes uu ex cellent salad herb, though It has never become a market herb In France or this country. The sorrel of Paris and New York markets Is a species of dock. The wood sorrel Is Indigenous to the soil of Ireland and Is believed hy botanists to be the original "herb trini ty" with which St. Patrick used to Il lustrate his doctrines. New York Trib une. MONEY IN CORNERSTONES. The Survival of an Older and More Trnirlc t'uoiu. The practice of putting money under the foundation stone of n new building Is the shadow of nn older tragic cus tom. The money stands theoretically for the ransom of the human being who by ancient superstition should have been burled in Its place. Other wise, It was held, the building would not stand firm and endure. There was n time when this particu lar kind of human sacrifice had n vogue extending to most parts of the world. Even In England skeletons have been found Imbedded In the bases of castle walls, nnd there Is record of one German fortress at the building of which n child was bought from its mother with hard cash nnd walled In to the donjon tower, the unnatural mother, according to the story, looking on the while. Elllgles of human be ings are still used In .some parts of Europe as harmless substitutes, nnd In remoter and more ruthless places the old custom crops out from time to time In nil Its grim reality. Within the last half century two children, a boy and a clrl, were, it was reported, walled Into, n blockhouse by some laborers at Puga, Asiatic Turkey. New York Times. THE ESKIMO DOG. He Never Known the Luxor? of a Mielter or n Ded. The Eskimo dog from his birth to his death, which In many Instances Is u violent one, never knows the luxury of shelter or a bed. He spends his exist ence outdoors and appears to he far more comfortable In winter than In summer. The pups when hardly nble to toddle Instinctively show nn ambi tion to run with sleighs (they never bark) nnd Join with their treble squeals the enthusiastic chorus of howls with which the Eskimo dog Invariably greets the first fall of snow. The ambi tion of the young dogs Is soon taken advantage of by the Eskimos. The little fellows are bitched to sleds In company with full grown dogs, and to prevent them from being run over they nre tied by the neck to the tow line, so that when the run starts out they are compelled to keep up or be dragged by the team. This simple though brutal method of training Is very effective, nnd nfter one or two runs the young dog uderstands what Is wanted of hlni. Even before he Is full grown he Is thoroughly conversant with his duties. nrnwnliiK'n Modet. The only son of Robert lirownlng and his Illustrious wife was n diligent art student when he grew to manhood.

LIONS TERRIFY SURVEYORS. Exciting Night Experience In San Osr nardino Mountain. C. F. llaysdalo, a (lovernment Sur veyor, who Is extending the San Hernardlno base line east of Moent San Hernardiuo, had a harrowing ex perience the other night, ltagsdale waa caught hy darkness 7,xmi feet above sea level on the side of the big mountain In a wild section of coun try rarely visited. He realized the hopelessness of trying to get to a camp, and so prepared to make his bed in the brush. He was awakened in the night by the crashing of thun der, and jumping to his feet he heard the wild cry of a mountain Hon. In a few seconds the cry was answered from other directions, and Uagsdale realized that ho was surrounded by the ferocious beasts. The only weap on he had was a small hatchet. Tho lire which he had built before he went to bed was rapidly being extinguished by the rain, and to revive the flames he threw the boughs of his bed upon the fire. Encouraged by the glare of the blaze he went to some near-by bushes for more wood, when he came face to face with the shining eyes of a large mountain lion. He waved his weapon above his head and the lion beat a retreat with a frightful roar. As Uagsdale ninde his way back to the camp fire he was followed by two other lions. All through the night he held the prowling beasts at bay, unUl the morning light brought members of his party to the spot, and the Hois made off through the timber. Tho second chapter In the Incident is told by Theodore Irving, who is en gaged with Uagsdale In tho surveying work. The next evening Irving and a young fellow named Waldrou were guiding the pack train up a canon three miles from the mountain on which Uagsdale was treed, nnd one of the burros got its halter rope en tangled In the brush. The men were In a hurry to make camp, and so left the animal and pushed on with the other ton. After making camp Irving started down the canon after the ani mal they had left, and was horrllled to find It being attacked by an im mense Hon. Hefore reaching tho spot he saw the light between the two beasts. The first assault by the Hon terminated In the little animal's wheeling about and landing two feet lu the lion's side, knocking him some distance. The Hon then sprang again, landing on toil of the burro's back. Irving ran all the w;iy back to camp, and with Waldron returned with tire arms to where the lion and the burro were. The burro was about dead, and n great part of Its back was torn away. At the first shot the Hon dis appeared unharmed. That night t?ie surveyors were kept awake by the roaring of the wild animals as they fought over the carcass of the burro. In the morning hardly more than the hide remained. "Those lions are big fellows, and there are lots of them." said Irving. "They roar like the African Hon. It was most blood-curdling. They seem ed to be centred around Whitewater. We saw few evidences of their pres ence In the other localities. During the fight with the burro the latter kept up a terrified screaming. I am quite sure that he would have been able to keep free of the lion had he not been tied, but the more he strug gled to get free the shorter grew bis rope." I.os Angeles tCal.i Herald. Golf Largely Psychological. Itoskm studies much and finds out some things. It lias been studying how It happens that the visiting Eng lish golf players so easily beat Vnited States golf players. One of the Hoston papers gives the result of this study. It points out that the players who have been competing with the best of our Americans have played golf from childhood, played It continually and sanely, as an exercise and a re creation, until their muscles have he come so accustomed to respond to the will that no exercise of an unwonted character is necessary. Golf Is large ly psychological, nnd the more the subconsciousness enters into the play the more accurate does the player be come. It Is noticeable, to one who has carefully studied the play of the Englishmen, that there is a certain automatism about their swing and handling of their clubs which can only be acquired by years of attention, and, indeed, a part of it may be traceable to a former generation. Undoubtedly, says Itoston, the young schoolings who are playing golf In this country to-day may in course of time reach the same general high standard of play which the Englishmen have al ready acquired, but those who take up the game in later life, when their muscles have become set and hard ened, must expect to be beaten. These are very Just conclusions, and Boston has done the golfers of this country, and indeed those of all conn tries, nn especial service in calling at tent ion to the fact that golf Is largely psychological, and the more the sub consciousness enters into the play the more accurate does the player be come.
