"There la -evidently on erroneous idea
broad concerning the harvesting of
the banana crop," sold n imin who hns
been for seven yenrs ou n plnntntlnn In
Honduras. .
"The statement thnt four or five
crops of banauna lire Inm ost el n yenr
Is entirely incorrect. A crop Is hnr
vested on an average of every fifteen
daya throughout the year. Each thrifty
banana plant has many suckers or
stalks growing from a single root at
the same time. Due or more bunches
of the ripening fruit arc cut from a sin
gle stalk, while the other stnlks grow
ing from the same root nre left un
touched, and In fifteen days another of
the stalks la shorn of Its fruit. This
process continue Incessantly during
the year. In July and August it is
necessary to cut off the ripening bitucu
ea every ten days, while In December
and January about once a mouth la
sufficient, the average throughout the
year being practically fifteen days."

Who Were Therf
To one great fact do all the most an
cient epochs of blBtory bear witness;
one and all they prove the existence In
yet more remote past of an alrendy
advanced civilization ttuch us could only
have been gradually attained after long
and arduous groping. Who were the
Inaugurate of this civilization? Who
were the earliest Inhabitants of the
earth? To what bloloKlcul conditions
were they subject? What were the
physical and climatic conditions of the
globe when they lived? Hy whnt flora
and fauna were they surrounded? Hut
science pushes her Inquiry yet further.
She desires to know the origin of the
human race when, how and Why men
first appeared upon the eurth, for, from
whatever point of view he Is consider
ed, man must of necessity have had a
beginning. "Manners and Monuments

C'llmklna a, Coeoannt Tree.
Cocoanuts when ripe fall to the
ground and when neeessnry are pluck
ed by men who climb up. It sometimes
makes one's blood run cold to hoc them
run up the trees Uko moonkeys. Two
ways are practiced for mounting the
trunk. In tho case of a small tree, or
at an odd moment, the man wulks up
the trunk, keeping his feet Hat against
It and throwing his weight buck from
It as much as possible, retaining his
position at the same timo hy the ten
sion of bis arms. The other and nafi-r
plan 1 to pass a loop of cord around
the feet, which are thus kept close to
gether, and grasp tho trunk of the tree,
the arms In tho meantime assisting
tho climber, who moves upward in a
erics of Jumps.
Tree Kill Tree.
A Victoria clcrgyiuun had an orange
and a pine tree In his garden. One
spring It was noticed that tho orange
tree was drooping, nnd on digging
down he found that the roots of the
pine, which stood at some distauce,
bad twisted around tho taproot of tho
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 tho
pine bad attacked the orange root low
er down and accomplished lta murder
ous end.
A Hint to the Knaaated.
There is a superstition which saya
that engaged couples who are photo
graphed together never got married.
Superstition Is gradually dying down,
so that few would he kept back by an
old woman's saying. There la, how
ever, one thing which should keep en
gaged couples from being photographed
together, and that la the thought that
If either or both should marry some
one else the fewer tokens there nre of
previous love affulrs the greater 1 the
chance of happiness In the final choice.

WILLING TO HELP.
I a OM Seninnn'a Scheme to Wta
Honor Fur a Favorite.
An nhiUBlng story Is told of an old
seaman on one of the United States
cruisers In the north Atlantic squad
ron. Ho was not a person of wide af
fections, but he had a worm place In
bis heart for a young ensign who had
been kind to him In many little ways.
One day n landsman fell from the
rigging to the water, nnd as he could
not b wlni ho would have been drowned
but for n young olllcer who sprang In
after him and held him up till assist
ance came.
Later the young officer received a
complimentary letter from the secre
tary of tho navy. Every one rejoiced
but the old seaman; he coveted the let
ter for his ensign.
"That's rt nice thing to have, letter
like that," be said n few days later.
"You ouulit to have one."
"I don't quite see bow I can get one,"
laughed the ensign.
"Well, see here," said the old man
eagerly. "Tomorrow night I'll be In
the main chains, fussing with some
thing or other, nnd I might fall In, and
yon could Jump after me."
"Thnt would be very good of you,"
said the ensign gravely, "but, you see,
I'm not good swimmer by any
means."
"Ho, that's no matter!" said the old
seaman. "I'll hold you up till the boat
comes."
CRACKED VOICES.
A Lack of Mnaenlar Control la What
Cannes tho Break,
The pitch of the human voice de
pends primarily upon the number of
vibrations per second of the vocal
cords, and theso, In their turn, depend
on the length, size and degree of ten
sion of tho cords, which Increase In
length with tho growth of the larynx.
One of the deepest bass notes, from
the greater length of the cords, has
only eighty double vibrations a second,
while a soprano voice can give 002
such vibrations In the snmo time.
The sl;.e of a bid's larynx Is, roughly,
that of ii woman's, but when the pip
ing schoolboy Is shooting up Into man
hood his larynx grows rapidly and the
vocal cords become elongated nearly In
ti e proportion of three and a half to
two. The cartilages by which their
tension Is regulated also share in this
growth, as Is seen by the swelling of
the so culled "Adam's apple."
Now, nil these parts do not Increase
with equal rapidity; hence the muscu
lar control, which must be very exact,
Is rendered uncertain and the voice la
said to "break." A similar change
takes place in the case of women, but
very much less In amount, and far
ther compensation In tho formation of
the upper part of tho larynx serve to
disguise the e fleet.

COLUMBUS' CREWS.
One Rnarllnliman and One Irishman
Were Amona- Their Namber.
An Englishman and an Irishman
were among the sturdy 120 ad
venturers who sailed with Columbus
In the three small hundred tonners.
This may hare been due to the well
known fact thnt nothing brings men of
different races together more than
maritime nnd commercial enterprise,
or, still more probably, hecuuse they
were swept In at Pulos. when Colum
bus put the press gang to work, as he
was authorized to do by Ferdinand
nnd Isabella.
The names of these men, as given
by Navarreto, were Jallarle do Lajes,
Ingles (probably Arthur Lake, Eng
lish), and Uulllermo Ires, nuturel de
Oalney, cu Irlanda (probably William
Herries or lllce, native of Unlway, In
Ireland).
These two men were umong the
forty whom Columbus left behind In
the fort constructed in Hlspanlola bo
fore be sailed for Europe, who all met
their death at the hands of the natives
before tbe great discoverer returned,
owing to their disregard of his express
directions.
Tha Coeoannt Tree.
There Is no tree so widely distribute!
throughout the tropics us the coeoannt.
Even on remote atolls of the south
seas, which geologists say were only
recently formed by the subsidence of
a volcano and the growth of coral up
from its base, one finds tho coeoannt.
Tbe parent tree leaning over the beach
of one tropical lslund drops Its fruit
Into the sea, to have the nut carried
away perchance halfway round tho
world. Then In some faraway plncj
tbe waves cast the cocoanut ashore to
sprout and propagate another forest
after Its own kind.
The Apple.
The apple is not considered to be it
complete food in Itself, hut on the foe 1
list It has a value far ubove the nutri
ment It possesses. Apples aid tho
Itomacb In tbe digestion of other foods,
und therefore the best results are ob
tained from eating them after rather
than before meals. After partaking of
an unusually heavy dinner tho entlng
of au apple will be found to facilitate
an early digestion and afford great re
lief from the sufferings attendant upon
Indigestion.
Too Much Iteallsm.
"Do you not feel at times," remarked
the fireside critic, "that realism can be
carried too far on the stage?"
"Yes." replied the tragic actor, with
sigh, "The luBt man I was working
for did it. He wanted to pay us all
off In stage money." Cincinnati Times

"Hello, Mike! Do you find much to
do now?"

tree, nnd tomorrow I'll have to cut it
up." Knnsnii City World.
