"'WolL don't buy bananas of an Italian, whatever elso you do." "And why not, yrayf" "Only this and nothing moro," replied my mentor, drawing mo away, "Uieso dosccudents of Dunto pack tho preen bananas Into bed with their fam ilies because tho heat of their bodios ripen them, that's all." "All right, the method Is a perfect succoss," I said; wit I ordered some strawberries In stead, my immtor giving full and sub lantinl reason for his singular Infor mation In regard to tho banana trade.

To decido when dough is sufllciently light to bake is a matter of great considera tion to the cook, as it varies In different temperatures and at dilTcrcut seasons of tho year, but practice will soon teach the length of time required. It is sel dom lens than half an hour, or moro than two hours. A loaf of bread should bo nearly double in si.o after it is pet in the pan. The beat of the oven should be moderate whun tho bread is put in to bake, and should be gradually increased in intensity.

J hero are phenomena to bo seen in Berlin; for instance, a restaurant where waiters refuse fees, and horse-cars which have room "for one more" tie cording to American ideas, but which will itot carry ono passenger, great or small, more than tho number pre scribed by law. It was very gratifying to meet such a regulation; it may pre vent many abuses; at least it compelled mo to walk a weary distance one rainy evening, and taught mo the difference between t lie application of ti rule in general and in par ticular. It also introduced mo to an other interesting German custom, for. reaching my lodging at n late hour, I found the street-door locked. Door bells nro unknown here, nud I hud no key. A kick at tho door echoed up and down tho quiet street so ominously that a descent of tho vigilant police seemed inevitable, but it aroused no responso from within, and a repetition was out of the question.

Why Kvery ParmrrMimild Takoan I liferent In Their MnlntenHiiee, I have been driving through a lino section of country to-day, but I was not favorably impressed with the char acter of its settlers, though I saw but few" of them, and spoke to only one.

In somo places, It would ho unsafe for n stranger to attempt to drive in a dark night. This is not as it should be. Every farmer should take pride in liavin" good roads along his land.

A Sitnplo Arllrla of Food PoMMlf Sopa- rlor Houruuiws: v"1 On a recent visit to tho Canary Is lands, one of tho first things to attract mynotice wnsthegooddevelopmoninnu fine personal appearance of the com mon people. I afterward found thai travelers aro generally impressed in the same manner on their first visit to the Canaries. If they have previously visited tho Spanish Peninsula, they aro apt to contrast tne nauvo npaiuarus with their Canarian relatives, always in favor of the latter, whoso greater height and better bodily forms nro very evident. This superiority may bo duo, in n certain degree, to tho admixture of the Spanish blood with that of the Uiiancho race, which was found in jxis session, when, in 1-1 10, tho Spanish un- lcrtook the conquest of tho Canarian Archipelago. It required more than lift v vears for tho purpose, and not un til, to tho utmost efforts of Spain, then in tho height of her power, tho troach- ry of four native Kings had been idded, did all the seven islands come under Spanish rule. Tho old chroni- lers nro fond of describing tho mild lispositions of the (iiianches, their tall, manly figures, and noble bearing in time of peace, ns well as tlicir great trenirlh and valor when fiirhting to preserve their ancient liberty. Even thu women 'took part against thu invaders, and proved themselves, in daring and prowess, no mean antagoii ists. Ono woman is especially men tioned who rushed upon an advancing column, seized the foremost soldier and II imI up the mountain, bearing tier vic tim ns if he had been a child, ouUtrip l i n r her pursuers, till, coming to a precipice, she leaped down and bvth were dashed to pieces. Tho conquerors not only mingled their blood witlr tho conquered, as happens with tho Latin races, but they adopted many of their customs, some of which are preserved to tho present time. Perhaps tho most important of these Is in relation to their food, the principal article of which is of Guancho origin. I have alluded to' the excellent bodily development and proportions of the modern Cnnnrians, nnd to the testi mony left by tho old chroniclers to the still lino characteristics of tho nn- cient Guanclies, who aro indeed de scribed as marvels of bodily strength beauty and ability, because theso facts havo nn important bearing on tho question of their food. As there can be no such bodily growth, strength nnd activity, as is described ns belonging to theso people, without superior nour ishment, it follows that tlie food used by the Guanclies, nnd adopted and still almost exclusively used by tho present inhabitants, must bo highly nutritious. This article, so evidently important, is the gojio. There is nothing myste rious about it, for golio is simply flour mado from nny of tho cereals by parch ing or roasting before grinding. The Guanclies may have roasted tlicir wheat, baric-, etc., by tho readv ...I, ..... .. - mcinou oi nrsi neating stones, on which or among which the the grain was afterward placed. As to that there are no precise accounts, but well- shaped grinding-stones aro plentifully preserved. At present gotio is pre pared by roasting tho grain in a broad, shallow earthen dish, over a charcoal fire. It is kept constantly stirred, to prevent burning. Ono can hardly pits through a hamlet or village without wit nessing somo stage of tho preparation of golio. Tho grain is first carefully picked over and all impurities removed. I ho processes frequently take place in front of or just within tho always open door, giving the traveler ample oppor tunity to see all steps of tho prepara tion. J lie grinding is done at the wind mills, which abound everywhere. Tho roasted grain is ground to a very fino our, when it becomes golio. After grinding it is ready for immediate use. When it is to bo eaten, milk, soup, or any suitable fluid may bo mixed with it any thing, in fact, to giro it sufficient consistency to bo conveyed into the mouth. Heing already cooked, it re quires no further preparation before eating. SOLEMN MOMENTS; Tha ImprMniva' Momenta Following th HlS-nlnc or tha Federal Countltutton. Finally it was decided that tho Fed eral Constitution, as now completed, should be presented to tho Continental Congress, and then referred to special conventions In all the States for ratiQ cation; and that when nino States, or two-thirds of tho wholo number, should havo rntilied, it should at onco go into operatioii as botwocn such ratifying States. When tho great document was at last drafted by Gouvcrneur Morris, and was nil ready for tho signatures, tno aged Franklin produced a paper which was road for htm, ns his voice was weak. Some parts of tills Constitution, ho said, ho did not approve, but ho was aston ished to find it so nearly perfect. What ever opinion ho had of its errors ho would sac ilico to tho public good, nnd ho hoped that every member of tho con vention who still had objectuuis would on this occasion doubt a little of his own infallibility, and for. tho sako of una nimity put his name to this instrument Hamilton added his plea. A few mem bers, ho said, by refusing to sign, might do infinite mischief. Neman's ideas could b ) moro remote from tho plan than his wero known to be; but was it possible for a true patriot to tie- liberate between anarchy and convul- si'n, on tlio one side, and the chance of good to bo expected from this plan. on tho other? From these appeals as well as from Washington s solemn warning at tho outset, wo see how dis tinctly it was realized that tho coiritrv was on the verge of civil war. Most of tho members felt so, but to some the new government seemed far too strong, and there wero three who dreaded despotism even more than anarchy. Mason, Randolph nnd Gerry re fused to sign, though Randolph sought to qualify his refusal by explain ing that ho could not yet riiako up his mind whether to oppose or defend tho Constitution, when it should be laid be fore the people of Virginia. Ho wished to reserve to himself full liberty of ac tion in tho mailer. That Mason and Gerry, valuable as their services had been iu tho making of tho Constitution, would now go homo and vigorously op pose it, there was no doubt. Of the delegates who were present on the last day of tho convention, all but these thj-eo signed tho Constitution. In tho signatures thu twelve States which had taken part in tho work were all represented, Hamilton signing alone for New York. . Thus after four months of anxious toil, through tho whole of a scorching Philadelphia summer, after earnest but sometimes bitter discussion, in which more than onco tho meeting had seemed on tho point of breaking up, a colossal work had at last been accom plished, tho results of which wero most powerfully to eft'ect tho whole future career or tho human race so Iodl' as it shall dwell upon the earth. In spito oi tho high-wrought intensity of feeling which bad been now and then dis played, grave decorum had ruled the proceedings; nnd now, though few were really satisfied, tho approach to unanimity was remarkable. When all was over, it is said that many of the members soejned awe-struck. Washing ton sat with head bowed in solemn med itation.
