Brend rniido from banana flour Is
common enough In Iluropo niul Eng
land. 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

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

A Narrow Escape.
The company had assembled In the
church, but the bridegroom was no
where to be found. Finally a messen
ger announced that the young man had
been run over and killed while on his
way to the church.

afterward to a friend, "what a narrow
escape I had from becoming a widow!"

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. Books of
to-day taken to India, to the Southern
States and to the West Indies perish

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

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.

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.
"It's better to have some one el.-e
attend to the oratory,'' answered Sena
tor Sorghum. "In that way you can
ascertain which of your opinions are
unpopular and repudiate them."
