AND HE MAKES Music , Too The
man whe runs a partisan count } ' paper
and prints it on a hand press may not be
an Italian , but he owns a hand-organ
all right enough.
A farm paper says : "There is noth
ing more necessary for a busines man
than to have his calling and address
neatly printed on his envelopes and
letter heads. That it pays is seen when
it is remembered that city business men ,
from the smallest to the greatest , use
printer's ink liberally in this mannner.
Farming is a business just as much as
handling goods , and there is no good
reason why the general farmer should
not have his name , calling and address
on his stationery as well as his city
brother. "

"The people of this country do not
yet know how to use the banana , " a
dealer in that delicious tropical fruit
said : "In the climate where the banana
furnishes the principal article of diet ,
the inhabitants have found numerous
methods of utilizing this delicious fruit
which render it at once nutritious and
palatable. They boil it , they bake it
as we do sweet potatoes , they peel it ,
cut it in slices and fry it in butter , they
mash it into a paste and dry it in the
sun as we do apples and peaches. They
make it into puddingspies , comfits and
preserves , and even smother it in sugar
until it is candied fruit. In every one
of these ways it is both pleasant to the
taste and wholesome as an article of
food. "
