WEST INDIAN BANANA FREAKS
Man Long In Fruit Business Sends
Photograph of Two Remark
able Formations.
New York.—From Kingston, Jamai
ca, comes a photograph of banana
freaks, sent by W. N. Livingston, who
says:
"In the accompanying picture are de
picted two freaks. One a monster
banana of the Martinique variety,
weighing ISS pounds, containing 15
hands, averaging 18 fingers to the
hand, and a freak of the same variety,
both known to botonists as the Musa
Sapientum, with 38 laps or hands
weighing 26 pounds, both well matured
and cut from the same property. It is
the most perfect freak that I have
seen after an experience of over 25
Banana Freaks.
years in the fruit business. This hap
pened just after storm of 1903 that laid
waste the banana cultivations of this
island. In going through the fields
chopping down the fallen trees this
one appears to have been left stand
ing, with just the limbs or branches
lopped off with the result that the
fruit shot right through the open cav*
ity bearing the peculiar formation as
shown in the accompanying illustra
tion on the right."
The Jamaica banana predominates
in the markets of the United States.
This predominenoe la the result of a
combination of circumstances and in
tention. The banana grown in Jamai
ca was not indigenous to that Island;
or, in other words, It was Imported
from another part of the tropics to
find nourishment and cultivation in
Jamaica. The banana so widely
known as the Jamaican in the markets
of the United States, was born in
Martinique, reared in Jamaica and
sent to school in North America. It
is true that bananas may be induced to
grow in Florida, and that Cuba has
made commendable. If not always
profitable, efforts in the direction of
cultivation; but In the Island of Jamai
ca, the climate, the annual rainfall of
35 inches, a stable British protector
ate assuring the obedience ef a suf
ficient number of laborers has made it
a success.
Many sufferers from rheumatisn
have been surprised and delighted
with the prompt relief afforded by ap
plying Chamberlain's Liniment. No'
one case of rheumatism io ten requires

liniment is for sale by all dea'ers.
Mr. Q. E. Herman showed the

to him by afr end in Arlington,
Wyoming. It was perfectly white
with claws about 5 inches long.

sale by its remarkable cures of cough,

Lesson X.—First Quarter, For
March 10, 191Z
• - -
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson. Mark i, 29-45.
Memory Verses, 40, 41—Golden Text,
Matt viii, 17—Commentary Prepared
b,. Rev. D. M. Stearns.
The events of this lesson, tbe beat
ing of the fever stricken and all man
ner of diseased people aud spirit pos
sessed people and tbe healing ot
a leper, are all samples of tbe king
dom which was at nand, but which did
not come because they would not bave
Him. Verse 89 of our lesson summa
rizes it briefly, "He preached in their
synagogues throughout all Galilee and
cast out demons." It Is more fully
stated in Matt iv, 23. "And Jesus weut
about aU Galilee, teaching in tbelr
synagogues and preaching the gospel
of the kingdom and healing all manner
of sickness and all manner of disease
among the people." It was predicted
by the prophets that In the kingdom
the blind would see. the deaf hear, the
dumb sing, the lame leap as a hart
and no one complain because of sick
ness, for lntqulty would be forgiven
(Isa. xxxUl. 24; xxxv, 5, 6). It was
also predicted that in the kingdom
wolves and lambs, leopards and kids,
calves and lions, cows and bears and
little children would all live in peace
together (lsa. xi, 0-9; lxv. 25). No one
seems to expect these last mentioned
things until Jesus shall come again,
but many are wondering why they can
not be bealed of all diseases even
though tbe kingdom has not come.
They ask often complainingiy, "Is not
the body as well as tbe soul Included
In the atonement?" Yes; tbe great
atonement will reach tbe body, too,
and in tbe resurrection these bodies of
our humiliation will be fashioned Uke
His glorious body, but tiU then we
must wait patiently in strength or
weakness, as He may in His infinite
love and wisdom decide. Some are
healed by His band without a physi
cian and some by His blessing upon
tbe pbysfclan's skill and medicine,
while some continue in weakness, and
many are passing out from the mortal
body. The truly devout soul says un
der all circumstances, "Even eo, Fa
ther," and rejoices in the perfect wUI
of God.
Our lesson verses 29 to 31 tell of His
going from the synagogue to the borne
of Simon and Andrew, where Simon's
wife's mother lay sick of a fever. He
took her by the hand, rebuked the fe
ver, and Immediately she waa well
and ministered to them. Compare the
ministry of angels in verse 13. Think
of Samuel as a little boy ministering
to the Lord (1 Sam. ill, 1) and let all
our service be "unto the Lord" and
"before the Lord." Possibly more
might be healed if He saw that they
would minister unto Him, for He Is
seeking in every way to bring people
unto Himself that He may fIQ them
with His fullness (Ex. xix. 4; 1 Pet
iii, 18).
Verses 32 to 34 tell of all manner of
diseased and demon possessed people
being brought to Him to be healed,
and It is written here and In the paral
lel accounts in Matthew and Luke that
He laid IDs hands on every one of
them and healed tbem (Luke iv. 40);
that He cast out the spirits with His
word and healed all that were sick,
that it might be fulfilled which was
spoke by Isaiah the prophet.
"Himself took our infirmities and bare
our sicknesses" (Matt. viii. 16. IT; Isa.
lili, 4). If they had only received Him
as their Messiah the Lord would have
made bare His holy arm in the eyes of
all the nations, and all the ends of
the earth should have seen the aahm
tion of our God (Isa. 111. 10), but be
cause He Is still the despised and re
jected one of Israel we continue In
faith and patience to wait ft»r Hi*
turn. He needs no testimony from His
adversaries, so He suffered not the de
mons to speak even though they said.
"Thou art Christ, the Son of God."
Lesson verses 35 to 39 tell of His ear
ly morning praying a great while be
fore day. having gone off to a a»U
tary place. Since He felt the need of
being away from even these few dis
ciples that He might the better com
mune with His Father, how can we
know much of real communion with
God in the constantly busy life that
so many lead? It Is true that we can
pray to God anywhere and at an; time;
but aee how He went away alone. Si
mon and the others found Him and
told Him that people were looking for
Him; then He said: "Let us go into the
next towns." "J must preach the king
dom of God to other cities also." We
must not forget that "the field la the
world" and our orders are, "Go ye into
all the world." The four lepers of
Samaria should put us to shame with
their words: "We do not well. This day
is a day of good tidings, and we hold
our peace" (11 Kings vil, 9). Our les
son chapter closes with the record of
a healed leper who published and
blazed abroad the fact at bta being
healed so widely that Jesus had to
stay away from the cities, *and the peo
ple came to Him from every quarter.
He is still the same Jesus, full of com
passion as when He said to that leper.
"1 will, be thou clean," and as quickly
as the leper was healed (immediately)
just as quickly can a sinner be saved.
Without money and without price He
gives eternal life to all who receive
Him. The strange thing la that those
who profess to have been saved by
Him have not the zeal of this leper nor
gratitude enough to tell others the glad
tidings.
Children are much more likely to
contract the contagious diseases when
they have colds. Whooping cough,
diptheria, scarlet fever and consumpt
ion are diseases that are often con
tracted when the child has a cold.
That is why all medical authorities say
beware of colds. For the quick cure
of colds you will find nothing better
than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
It can always be depended upon and
is pleasant and safe to take. For sale
