The trouble with the white man is that he liras too weU. A well known American publisher eays that the works of Charles Dioheas can hardly be brought out fast enough to keep up with the demand, while reprints of Thackeray hardly pay for the paper used. The atmosphere on the English chan nel was recently rarefied to such a de gree that objects between thirty and forty miles from Dorer and Folkestone) could clearly be dWingulshad with the naked eye. The popular dread of green on ac count of suspicion of arsenio in its com position seems to have disappeared if one can believe the report that green is to be the fashionable color for the winter, and will appear in wall paper, draperies and nbbons. The telephone was allowed to be used on Sunday for the first time in London a few weeks ago. The managers of the company, it is said, had grave doubts about the result of such an innovation, but the large use that was made of the privilege satisfied them. Fishermen seeking sea bass off the coast of Monterey, Cal., came upon a gigantic sunfish. and succeeded in cap turing it after enveloping it in about 100 fathoms of net. It weighed 4,000 pounds, and efforts were made to pre serve it and send it to San Francisco, but they failed. The third of the three heaviest rifled guns ever made in this country is nearly completed at the ordnance foundry of the South Boston Iron Works. The first gun was made of cast iron, the second of cast iron hooped and tubed with steel, and the gun now in the foundry is like the second. Cats as a general thing do not like water, even though they are good swim mers. A man in Clayton, rl. J., has a laree Maltese that is an exception. This animal takes to water even more kindly than a spaniel. He will go into the water on his own account and seems to enjoy it hueely. Like a dog he will bring back a stick thrown in the water. . The Steel Car company is said to be burn except the upholstery, and even that is constructed of uninflammable - material. Not only immunity from fire, but an increase in strength, a decrease in the liability to telescope and a diminu tion of dead weight are expected to be some of the good features of the new car. Twentyfive lively crocodiles recently escaped into the river Elbe from an Afri can sailing vessel. The crocodiles are thought to be enjoying' their new home very much, but the German small boys who live) along the banks of the river are unhappy because they cant go in swim Botag. . The statistical crank has let himself loose again, and now turns up with the Information that the seaside resorts dur ing the summer have had an average at tendance of twenty-eight women to every man. There has, indeed, been depaorable scarcity of men at all the re ports. At many of the balls the ludi crous spectacle of a set composed of one nan and aereo girls is common, and the entire set is not infrequently danced by girls. While there has been no falling off in the ucrease or feminine men teal pracu- tkmera. the arowth for the last three months would probably have been larger bad not a goodly number of the medical neophytes been diverted to the study of the sister art. dentistry, which has re cently rained many recruits from the ex.

Oeorre Kennan in The Oanturr. ' Daaer of Malaria la Cities. It is a common Idea that greater risk is run from this cause of disease in the country than In towns and cities, bat there are strong rea sons for doubting that such is the case, so far as any unhealthy influence of the country it self is concerned. If a farm house be placed in a low, swampy situation and a town in a similar locality the dwellers in the one will be no more liable to malarious diseases than the inhabitants of the other. In laree cities. where the ground Is beiiuf constantly turned up for the purpose of laying water and gas mains, constructing sewers er for any one of the nundred other purposes for which a con tinual upheaval of the pavements goes on. diseases or malarial origin will almost con stantly abound. Some parts of New York city, or of Philadelphia, for instance, are nearly as full of malaria as are the worst parts of Florida. There is nothinar. there fore, to be gained in this reapeet by a haty re turn irom tne seasnore or tne mountains to the peat up atmosphere of a large town in which excavations of some kind or other are at cer tain seasons of the year carried on with more than usual vigor. Dr. Wm. A. Hammond in Hew York World, Mental Effects ef the Weather. It is curious to think how Indifferent are some people to those atmospherical changes which so signally affect the health and tem per of others. You will see one man of a rainy day, or a cold day, so transformed from good nature to acidity and bitterness that his best friends would fain get out of his way at least, till the "wind changes."

Boston BadaeA Character In Handwriting;. A certain number of men are cahn, even Uved, sensible and practical. ' Men of that onus are almost certain to write plain, round handatn widen every letter Is distinctly legi ble; neither very much slanted forward, nor tilted backward; no letter very much bigger than its neighbor nor with heads much above or tails much below the letters not so distin guished; the letters all having the same gen eral uprightness and the lines true to the edges of the paper, neither tending upward nor downward. Exact, business like, people will have an exact handwriting. Fantastic Blinds revel in quirks and streamers, particu larly for the capita letters, and this quality is not infrequent in certain business hands, as if the writers found a relief from the pro saic nature of their work in gifting flourishes to certain letters. Firm, decided, downright men are apt to bear on the pan while writing, and to make their strokes hard and thick. On the contrary, people who are not sure of themselves, and are lacking self control, press unevenly, and with anxious looking, scratchy hands. Ambitious people are apt to be overworked; they are always in haste and either forget to cross their t's, or dot their Ts. They are also apt to run the last few letters of every word into an illegible scrawl Flurried, troubled and conscience twinged persons have a crabbed and uneven k&ruiwi-iljntr. St. Nicholas.

Preparing the Soli Patting Ont th "Sadcera" Deadly Voea. Mr. Kennedy took me in charge early, and on the wharf (on the shady side of the shed) gave me the account of the banana business that I shall try to reproduce. I cannot do better than imagine that the reader is about to settle in Jamaica to engage in raising bananas, and that I am telling him what I have learned about the industry. The land used is likely to be either an unused sugar estate, or what is known in Jamaica as "ruinate ;n that is, land that has stood idle so long that it has become overgrown with tall bushes and small trees. The first cost of land of the latter sort Is of course much less, but the expense of clearing it is ho much greater that it is doubtful whether good cul tivable land is not cheaper in the end. Tho ground having been cleared and plowed, banana "suckers" are set out, the distance between them depending very much upon the quality of the land. In from ten to fourteen months after planting the tree has reached its full sise, ten to twelve feet in height, the stalk then being about. eight inches in diameter at the base, and the bunch of fruit is ready to cut for shipment The fruit is always nt whilo yet. f-roni, each stalk produces tu:j one bunch! When the fruit is cut that is the end of that stalk, and the stalk is cut down. Fresh "suckers" are produced from the roots, how ever, and several of these are allowed to Crow for the next crop. For the first few months a good deal of cultivation Is necessary in the banana field to keep it clear of weeds, but when the stalks gro w and the leaves bo gin to spread they eireetually choke down tho weeds, and little more attention is needed. From $30 to $50 an acre is a fair estimate of the cost of plowing, planting- and cultivating for one year, but where the land has to be cleared of trees this increases the cost con siderably. Once started, the plantation is good for five or six years without much fur ther labor beyond keeping it clear of weeds at certain seasons. - But the banana planter has a deadly foe in the hurricane and high winds that frequently sweep over the West Indies. The banana tree has very small roots and is easily knocked over. Some times even with nothing worse than a lively "norther" an entire plantation is destroyed in an hour, and there is nothing for it but to start over again. As to the risks and profits, Mr. Kennedy says: "From my experience I do not think the banana yields the planter a very large profit, though there are excep tions to the rule. A tropical hurricane will sweep a banana cultivation level with the ground in an hour. Besides these hurri canes, we usually have very strong winds, (northers) during the winter months, that often blow down acres of bananas. The tree Is easily blown down, especially when it has a large bunch of bananas banging from its top. Were it not for these great drawbacks, planting bananas would be a profitable in vestment. It is Important that a planter understands the business, and knows how to work the Jamaica labor." William Drys dale tn New York Times. The Court How is this, Mr. Johnson?
