One pound Is said to contain more nourlNlmient and energy produc ing material than one- pound of the finest beefsteak, Ih much more digest ible and less than one-sixth the price. Sir Henry Stanley was a firm believer in the banana. He went so far as to ndvlse that Hs consumption would cure rheumatism, gout and all liver affec tions. When lying at the point of death from gastritis u light gruel of banana flour mixed with milk was the only food he could retain und digest. The secret of the banana as a health and strength producing food lies In Its high percentage of proteids and the great number of Its calories, respectively 20 and 301.71. It Is a perfectly balanced ration If sliced for breakfast and serv ed with milk and sugar. New York Tress. Keep Your Blood Pure.

Consider the Bald Head. When It Is considered that scientists who study the hair have discovered five or six causes for Its falling out, with subsequent baldness, It doesn't seem worth while trying to keep it on the skull. Any one of these "six causes" Is quite sufficient to reduce an af fluent topknot to a billiard ball sur face; therefore a real benefaction for mankind would be the enforcement of a mighty fashion rendering Its loss thn most admirable thing In life. No gen ius has ever thought of this alternative and It Is suspected our ultra-clvlllzed nations would revolt at first, but by de grees the world would adopt the Idea and finally end by cultivating It con aniore.

H.Kllne, Ld.,931 Arch til., I'liUa.,!', The End of Book. What brings about the end of books? Is It fire, water, worms? As every ship launched Is bound to be wrecked, every theater to be burned, the finis of the book is Its reduction to ashes. What became of the Alexandrian li brary? Did the Saracens burn it In C40? There is this question asked: Was there any library at Alexandria containing 700,000 books? Gibbon In clines to the opinion that there was no such library. Canon Taylor t Insists that If there had been a library It was burned in the time of Julius Caesar. Tradition seems to indicate, however, that there was a library In the sera peum, by no means a large collection, but whether destroyed by Theophllus or Theodoslus Is not known. It looks ns If the charge brought against tbe Arabs rested on no foundation. Explo rations of Alexandria In 1805-96 show no traces of the serapeum. The sea port of Egypt was built on a damp foundation, and granting that there was a library, If not destroyed by fire, then the papyri might have suffered from decay due to water.

Shut Off A n I mill's Wind with I.nrlut, Then VutH Its 'I'll rout. Jim Gordon, a range rider for W. W. Villeins, whose big ranch Is over near toward Wells, In Western Texas, was mich surprised the other morning to, ice a large black bear lumbering along iliend of hlni. it was In a rough lo cality and the bear was evidently out to get Its morning meal of sotol roots. Gordon stuck his rails Into his horse ::ml to,ok after the bear. The chase did not last long. Gordon unloosened his rope, which was colled over the iwmmel ;f his saddle, and when he got within throwing distance of the fleeing bear he deftly circled the noose over the ani mal's head. The cow pt,ny sat back up on Its haunches and drew the rope taut. The bear got one of Its paws un derneath the noose and prevented the ropo from choking It. Then began a struggle that lasted for more than an hour. Ordinarily a horse Is desperately afraid of a beur, but the cow pony which Gordon was riding stood the or deal fearlessly. It maintained Its po sition while Gordon dismounted with a view of attacking the beur at close quarters with his knife. He had no other weapon. The bear put up a hard fight the moment It saw Gordon on the ground. It rushed at him and struck him n terrific blow on the shoulder which sent him sprawling several feet away, and o,ut of reach of the mad dened animal, which was confined to a prescribed circle by the rope. Strange to say, the bear made no at tack upon the horse. It seemed to con sider Gordon responsible for the whole trouble. Gordon determined to kill the animal befe,re he left the spot. He made severul Ineffectual efforts to dash In on the bear and give It a blow with his knife, but each time he was struck by the animal's paw. Finally he got hold of the rope and by a sudden pull managed to tighten the noose so that the bear's wind wus temporarily shut off. Taking advantage of the moment Gordon rushed In and cut the Jugular vein o,f the animal with his knife. He loaded the bear upon his horse and brought It to the ranchhouse. Kansas City Star. WHAT'S IN A NAME? Many Names Preserved (o Posterity by Trivial Circumstances. Many names, illustrious and other wise, have been rescued from oblivion by comparatively trivial circumstances. The story goes that Brougham, on being rallied by the Iron Duke us a man whose name would go down to posterity as a great lawyer, states man, etc., but who would nevertheless be best known by the name of the carriage that hud been christened af ter him, retorted that the duke's name would no doubt be banded down to pos terity as that of a great general und the hero of a hundred battles, but that he would be best remembered by a nar tlcular kind of boot named after him. The cobbler who, after the Welllns ton boot appeared, seized upon the idea of placing a Blucher boot upon the market, made a large fortune there from. Sailors will never let die Admiral Vernon's nickname of "Old Grog" (so culled by reason of the breeches he wore, made of groghain, a mixture of silk und mohair), the name given by them to the rum that he ordered to be diluted with water. The name of an other drink negus has survived from the time of Queen Anne, when it was the fuvorlte of one Col. Negus. More common than either, however, is the name "sandwich," in memory of Lord Sandwich, who invented it as a means of taking a hasty lunch while engaged In his duties at the admiralty office. Certain towns and districts, too, such as Xeres, Oporto. ChamDaene and Burgvfndy, are probably best known through the productions named after them j in fact, the two latter pro vinces ceased to exist after the sub stitutions of departments for the "old provinces before the days of the French revolution. Cayenne Is undoubtedly known better outside France foe the pepper it produces than for belne a locality to which French convicts are transported ; while the town of Cognac, in France, owes its celebrity solely to the brandy distilled from its grapes. Love of Animals. Mark Twain was talking of war and of the hardships and privations of sieges. "A Frenchman," he said, "called one day on a woman who had two dogs. They were ugly little brutes, and, when they came near him, the man pushed them out of the way, with his foot "'I perceive, sir, you are not very fond of dogs.' "The man started In surprise. " 'I'm not fond of dogs !" he exclaim ed. 'Why, madame, I ate more than twenty of them during the siege of Paris '"Harper's Weekly. Look on the bright side: If a woman Is a poor cook, they are not bothered much at her house .with DeoDle come to star to meals. Shows Valne of Hereflltw, A parliamentary candidate was being heckled. One of the questions had ref erence to the religious denomination to which ho belonged. "Well," ho said, "you asked me an honest question and you shall have a straightforward answer. My grand mother was a Scotch woman a rigid I'resbyterlan." Obvious disappointment was shown In the faces of the audience, so the candidate proceeded : "My grandfather was English and therefore a member of the Church of England." Still no enthusiasm, but rather the reverse. "My father, on the other hand, was a good Baptist," went on the desperate candidate, who wos still unrewarded byyapplnuse. He grew anxious, so hur riedly added: "Hut my dear old moth er, long since dead, was a Methodist." Instantly all faces were radiant, so he concluded : "And, gentlemen, I follow the pre cepts of my dear old mother. I'm a Methodist and I don't care who knows It!" London Mall. Presents In Safe Place. A young mlllhand having lost his sweetheart through his own hotheaded folly first threatened to commit suicide and then became vulgarly Insistent In his demands for the return of the pres ents he had given her. "What good will they be to you If you're goln' to drown yourself In t' mill pond?" she scoffed. "Never you mind ; I want them back," he replied evasively. "Well, I'll see that you have thein," the girl reluctantly agreed. But five days passed and the young man still bemoaned the loss of the for feited trinkets. Once more he request ed their return. "Oh, lad, I wish you'd stop worryln' me," sighed the girl, anxious by now for a reconciliation. "I've given t' presents up long since. They're wait ing for you at t' bottom o' t' mill pond, tied up In a red handkerchief; you can't help but see 'em when you jump In." Then the humble young man apolo gized and the quarrel was patched up, In the old sweet way. London Tlt Blts. Cantlon. "Why do you avoid making speeches yourself?" asked the friend.
