There was a time, not so many years ago, when bananas wer a luxury, and eating them waE an indication of extravaganc( or wealth. Not so now. Thic delicious fruit is plentiful and cheap and within, the reach ol every one, and the man that goes along the street eating this fruit attracts no attention. But this change in the condi tion of things has brought about a ctrolessn'ess that should be checked. Throwing banana peelings on the sidewalks. It is dlangerous. A man oil busilnes bent comes hurrying down the street, steps on a peel, and as his head comes in contact w itl the sidewalk the stars that dance before his eyes are envel oped in a sulphurous vapor not conducive to his spiritual wel. fare. Or it may be a. lady trip. ping lighttly down the thorough fare. She is figuring oi th< style of her new gown, or think. ilg of those she will invite, 01 those she will not invite, to hel next pink tea. While he: thoughts are thus centered o higher and better things, sh steps mi a banana peel and he dainty soles soar heaven ward It is soul-harrowing, to say th least. Or perhaps it is the mir ister'r heel that hits the pee] His thoughts are not of eart] and earthly things. He is pon oering on uplifting ideals. Stid dlenly his feet fan the atmiios phere and his head hits th< walk. It is a terrible jar to hih physical frame as well as hi religion. His suffering is mor initense, beca~iuse his profession will niof permit him to exp)ress his feelinigs in language befit t ing the oc'casion. Here'( is a good1 word for the "M~erry WVidowv's'' hat : WvVhile at( lini uh ile other night the lhat that hmidl ihe preacher from myiX view prev'ented him fr'om seeilig how I wais twvistinmg un dler h is preachliin. Mlar'k Tfwa in says he is a frienid Of temUperance but prohi-. bition is not practical, for the (Geramns prevent it. They have .inst inivented a method of mak ing brandy ouit of sawdust, and. no0w Mark wants to know what chance pr'ohibition will have when'i a 'nan can take a rip-saw~ and so out and get drunk with a ienmce-rail, make brandy $ nashes out of. the shingles or his ro of, or get delirium tremenm by drinking the legs off th( kitchen chairs. Buying goods of the mail order houses in the big ities ii simply buying a' "pig in a poke.' The money has gone .out o: your county . never .to .return and 'as Is very.' often the cast when too late,. ..u find thal you could .havo bought betto1 good1s, for less money, of yoni home merchants. Buying goods from gaindy.-colored 'cataloguies Is poor econotny,for you are prot ty sure in get somet~hing om th, uraer that you do not need, sim-' ply because it is cheap. "Oh! it will conge In handy some time," is the way you put it. The average bargain hunter very much resembles old Mrs. Toodles in this respect. Mrs. Toodles was a fiend for bar gains, and attended every auc tion near and far, and when Mr. Toodles would ask what she wanted with many of her pur chases she would Invariably re ply: "0, it's a handy thing to have in the house." In the days of the Toodles' it was the custom to have a plate, contain ing the name of the resident, ori the front door of the dwell ing, so that the passer-by could see at a glance who occupied the house. One day Mrs. Too dies attended an auction and bid off a doorplate bearing the name of.Tompkins, and to do the old lady justice she bought it at a bargain. Returning home, she went at once to Mr. Toodles to show him her remarkable bar gain. But the old man was out of humor, and blurted out: "Now, Mrs. Toodles, what un der the canopy do you want with that thing?" 'Why, my dear Mr. Toodles," replied the old lady, "can't you see? In the course of time there may be a baby in the family, and that baby may be a girl, and that girl may grow up to be a wo man, and may marry a man by the name of Tompkins, and then this doorplate will be a. 'handy thing to have in the house.'" Now, the moral of this little "skit" is, don't buy second-hand doorplates because they are cheap, but call on our advertisers, where you can ex amine the goods. Keep the money in your own country, i and ple xse, whei doing your L trading, mention that you saw r twir ad. in the S rr.t JOURNAL. e" . Be Kind In Little Things. The sunshine of life is made Up of very little beams that are - bright all the time. In the nur - sery, on the play-ground and in the school roomi, there is room all the lime for little acts of kindnoss that cost nothing but are worth more than gold or silver. Tfo give up something when giving up will prevent un happiness; to yield when per sisting will chafe and fret others: to go a little wa~y around rather than come1 against an other; to take an .ill word or a cross look rather than to resent it; these are the ways in which clouds and storms are kept off and a pleasant,smiling s',nshine secure even in a humble home, among very poor people, as in familiesi in higher station. Much that we term the miseries of life would be avoided by adoptin'i this rule of conduct. Old-Fashioned Mother. Thank God,'some of us have and others have had,' an old f ishioned mo6ther. Not a woman of the beriod, ~enameled and paliuted-, withi her great chignon, her. curls and bustle; whose white,' 'jewelled hands never have felt' the clasp of her baby fingers; bitt a dear old. fashioned, sweet-voiced' mother, with eyes in 'which -the love Slight shonje, anid 'brown hair threaded with silver, lying smooth upon her, faded cheek. Those dlear hands Wvorn 'with toil, gently guided our tottering steps' In childhood, anda Amodth'ed' our pillow in sickness; even reaching' out to us in yearniing tender ness, when her sweet spirit was b~aptizenl in thle pearly spray -of the river. Bksscle is he am ory of Ant old-fashioned mother. It foMts to us now, like the beautiil porfume of some woodland blossoms. The music of other 'voices may be lost but thoe ntraning memory of her's will echo in our souls forever. Other places will fade away and be forgotten, but her's will shine on until' the light from heaven's portals shall glorify our own. When in the fitful pause of busy life our feet wander back to the old homestead, and cross ing the welI-.worn threshold, standing once more..in the low, quaint room.,as hallowed by her presence, how the feeling of childish innocence and depend ence comes over us, and twe kneel down in the molten sun shine streaming through the western window-just where, long years ago, we knelt by our mother's knee, lisping "Our Father." How many times when the tempter lured us on has the memory of those sacred hours, that mother's words, her faith and prayers, saved us from sin. Years have filled great drifts over between her and us, but they have not hid den from our sight the glory of her pure, unselfish love. That our Amcrican rorests abound in plants which possess the most valuable medicinal virtues is abundantly attested by scores of the most eminent medical writers and teachers. Even the untu tored Indians had discovered the useful ness of many native plants before the advent of the whito raco. This informa tion, imparted freely to the whites, led the latter to continue investigations until to-day we have a rich assortment of most Valuable American medicinal roots.
