The Fxnlt Grows Small End Up and la Cnt While Unripe. Contrary to popular belief, bananas do not grow on the tree as they bnug in the grocery, but with the small end of the fruit pointing upward to nil ap peorances upside down, There is probnbly no other fruit of such universal consumption about which 60 little Is known to tho average person as the bannna. Something Ulso 100,000,000 bunches are annually eaten In this country alone, but scarcely one man In a thousand not connected with the business knows what a banana tree looks like. The fruit Is never allowed to ripen on the tree, but is cut half or three-quar ters "full" that is, half to throe-quarters developed according to the dis tance It is to bo shipped, and comes to maturity by feeding from the stalk, which contains a largo amount of sap. Bananas cut in this way attain prac tically the same size as if allowed to remain on the tree, in which case the bunch becomes too much of a burden for its support and either falls or breaks the tree and ripens on tho ground. , After the Cutting the plantation is "cleaned," which merely consists of severing the standing trunks within a few feet of the ground, and a new tree comes forth from the remains of its predecessor, so that the fruit In all stages of growth Is to be found at the same time and the yield Is continuous. An Anecdote of Wordsworth. A contributor to the London Specta tor thus writes to that Journal: Tour interesting article on "Vast- ness and Isolation" recalls to my mind Wordsworth's own interpretation of the lines - . Those obstinate questionings Of sense and outward things, Fallings from us, vanlshlngs ; as reported to me by the late Professor Bonamy Price; One day as he was walking with the poet 'in the hills he asked him .what he meant precisely, by the words 'Tailings -from us, vanlsh lngs." .Wordsworth's answer was to this effect: "Sometimes I' find myself in a mood In which tho whole material universe seems to fall away. The sense of outward things Is lost. Nothing re mains but an immaterial self, detach ed from all physical conditions. In or der to get back Into the knowa world of consciousness I have to clutch at something-so,"; Here he grasped fho bar of the gate on which they were leaning at the moment: t was much struck by the story at the time ,and made a note of it . . 1 5 i " ;-;vv: ("'- ' -.y Hill Geora-a Washing-ton's Sobrlqnets, .Washington was called by many so briquets.

J : A GREAT CARE. - ! sUtzcnJammen Develop Some Wonderful Talent and WU a Hard Poirht Came. The great guna of bate ball between the Katzenjsmmer Kids and the Hooli gan Braves waa pulled oS successfully yesterday. Betting waa free with the odds In favor of Katienjammers which proved to be a wise choice. The game was enjoyed hugely by a large company of spectators and what It lacked In sub lime admiration of the science was mads up In uproarious hilarity. The lineap was the same as was published la the Journal yesterday. The features of the game were so many that It would be monotonous t ennmerate them, bat notable among them were the errors and the stealing of bases. " There probably never has been on this diamond inch reckless and wan ton robbery as there was at this game. To use a well known stock term they were short on the science and long on stealing. The players all had good eyes and both teams kept the ball In the air most of the time, the pitchers, however, aimed for some point In the azure over the grand stand. Considering - the height of the balls it was a wonder how the batter could keep the outfield so busy.v . It was the old story, get the game or kill the umpire. At two times was um pire Marks in Imminent dsnger. Players exasperated beyond endurance at the de cisions, rushed wildly to the center of the diamond and tried vainly to con vince the umpire that he was wrong, but he followed the sage advice of the poet. Stick to the right Never say die Never play fast and loose Play a straight game Whatever the name Hold a stiff upper Hp Like a goose. In the sixth inning one of the playerB of the Hooligan's Braves was "remem-1 bercd" with a huge bouquot, which was an unexpected feature of the game. It wasalovel present with very large' leaves. For several Innings the game looked like a walkaway for the Katzenjsmmer Kids, they piling In score after score 'til 11 seemed a hopeless task to play, but the Hooligans were not dismayed and had a streak of luck which gave the Craven street men s lot of courage and they played effectlvo ball. After the game both nines claimed the victory. Tho Katzenjammors said they beat by a score of 30 to 18 The Hooli gans claimed the the game by a score of 15 to 14. For the sake of justice to both sides we give both scores under contro versy. Katzenjammer 6 3 1 4 3 0 1 0 3-20 Hooligans .00107908 0-18 Katzenjammcr 63120200 0-H Hooligans 0 1 0 6 2 0 0 6 0-15 It Is probable that the first score Is correct winner?. and the Katsteo jammers ' are Danger Still Hovers Over Caribbean Sea. Scientists Bay that indications point to further disastrous volcanic eruptions on the Island of St. Vincent. Three luminous spots have ' been observed on the side of Mount Peeleo, which are casting incandescent rays, and frcBh dis aster is feared In Martinique. A Marseilles dispatch ' says that a ca blegram received there from Trinidad states that residents are abandoning that island, as they consider an eruption Imminent. Hundreds of dead bodies are lying In the cabins near La Soufriere and pesti lence is feared, Thousands cf natives are without food and the price of grain and meat has risen to a high figure. ' Mount Felee is said to cast a yellow light over St. Pierre, In t which the sea appears pea green, while a vast cloud, like a great black anvil, hovers above tha valley of death, pvi'V'-''' ? The French Government through Am bassador Cambon, formally expressed Its gratitude to the United States for the prompt measures taken to relieve the suffering in Martinique. ; -. Paris still appears entirely Indifferent to the disaster in the West Indies. The British Government announces that measures have been taken to relieve the British colonists Who are suffering in St. Vincent. ' J- - Henderson Telephone Toll Rates.

A list of the side dishes, with an ordinary rice table, would read something like this: Fried eggs, omelet, fried chicken. broiled chicken, stewed chicken,.- beef steak, sausage, fish, fritters, a mixture of vegetables stewed with a mustard dressing, raw cucumbers, liver and ten or twelve different spices and relishes. besides pickles. . Many a stout Dutchman have we seen take a liberal helping from each dish In addition to' almost a quart of rice for a background of table.'
