Tha Fruit Grows 8mall End Up and la Cut While Unrip. Contrary to popular belief, bananas do Dot grow on tin- tree as they bang la tbe grot-cry. but with the amall end of tbe fruit pointing upward to all appearances upside down. There Is probably no other fruit of sucb universal consumption about which so little In known to the average person aa the bannnn. Scarcely one man In a thousand not connected wltb tbe business knows what a banana tree looks like. The fruit Is never allowed to ripen oo the tree, but Is cut half or three quarters "full" that Is, half to three quarters developed, according to the distance It is to be shipped and cornea to maturity by feeding from tbe stalk, wblcb contains a large amount of sap. Bananas cut in this way attain prac tically tbe same size as If allowed to remain on tbe tree, in which case the bunch becomes too much of a burden for its support and either falls or breaks tbe tree and ripens on tbe ground. After tbe cutting tbe plantation la "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, no that the fruit in all stages of growth is to be found at tbe same time, and the yield is continuous FREAKS OF A GENIUS. The Man Who Smashad Glaaaas In a London Tavarn, One day a bulky, tall, pale faced gen tleman wltb busby, restless eyebrowa entered a London tavern. Tbe waiter did not ask him for bis order, but im mediately brought bim a plate of bread and cheese and a glass of ale. Having consumed bis luncb, tbe guest sat up right In his chair for awhile, leaning bis bands on a heavy walking cane and staring blankly at tbe opposite wall ag If In a dream. Of a sudden be gave a start. lie seized tbe empty glass and dashed It to the floor wltb all bis might, smashing It to atoms, lie then reflected for a moment, laid a coin on the table, got up and left the Inn without a word to any one. After bis departure another guest bad the curiosity to ask the waiter wheth er the gentleman who bad just gone out was not wrong In bis head. Quotb the waiter: "Ob, no, sir! That's nothlnk un usual with 'ini, sir. 'E's broke maybe a 'undred glasses since 'e's been a-com-in' to this 'ouse. 'E don't seem to know it when 'e does It. 'E Just gits a-thlnkln' and seems to git bangry at sonietbink 'e's thiukln' about. It's tbe great Lord Macautay, sir." St. James' Gazette. Tha Nam Cuba. Cuba Is the name by which tbe is land was originally known to tbe La cnyan Indians, who were with Colum bus when he discovered It. One of its villages or cities was called by tbem Cubanocan, nod It Is reported that from the similarity of sounds Colum bus, still supposing himself to be on the coast of Asia, imagined that this must be a city of Kublal Kban. tbe Tartar sovereign celebrated by Marco Polo. The survival of tbe original name for Cuba is a remarkable In stance of persistence, as the Island has been baptized and rebnptized ranny times since Its European discovery. Columbus first called It Juaua In honor of Trlnce John, tbe son of Ferdinand and Isabella. After Ferdinand's death It was called In bis memory Fernan- dina. Subsequently this name was changed to Santiago, after St. James, the patron saint of Spain. Still later It was named Are Maria, in honor of the Virgin Mary. But none of these names held, and tbe Indian name is still preserved. MARGARET ILLINGTON. Tha Actrata Who Quit Darning SocSt lo Raturn to ta Stag. When MiirKHrel llliuiMoii.

When the "kiss not" campaign start ed In Cincinnati receutly the country laughed and chuckled and gave tbe Idea one day In which to die out. But It seems the laugh Is ou the country. for over 6,000 members are now en rolled, and branches are being started In all the large cities. Tbe organ ization's only mot to is "Kiss Not," and It Is Inscribed on a button wblcb members wear. Mrs. L. Rechtln. president of the World's Health organization, who started tbe movement, says tbe button is working wonders. Sweethearts, of course, refuse to Join tbe society; bence the order is devoting itself largely to stopping tbe practice of kissing at public functions and tbe promiscuous kissing of babies. Chief among those to encourage tbe move are physicians, who say kissing breeds disease. KISS NOT Rica In the Oriant. Rice is kept for use iu tbe orient In its busk, just like horse oats or un- thrashed wheat. It is called "paddy" I and is beaten or thrashed for dally use. But pure busked rice is too rough and unattractive looking for world mar kets, so it is polished in revolving cyl inders with French cbalk to make It pretty, pearly and smooth. But this i robs It of Its outer layer and most val-j liable food qualities. Polished rice Is regarded as poison In Japan and is known to produce tbe dreadful cplderu lc disease beriberi la Japanese who live too exclusively ou a rice diet and eating little or no meat Exchange.
