The Undervalued Banan;i The dictum lh..; frill I should be eaten in tlieir season, liuUs its limitations as regards variety iu the tomperate stones ut certain periods of the year. There is, bowever, ouo fruit which is readily available fresli In American markets at pruciioally all seasons, although ltf grows best from November to April in its tropical or semi-tropical home. It is uufortunato that au article of diet which meets certain uu- trltlvo requirements so well nud is so easily obtained at reasonable cost, as the banana should be tho subject of much misunderstanding among both physicians uud laymen, h'or despite the fact that ovor 40,000,000 bunches are reported to have been brought to the United States last year, u Is popularly stated lu many quarters that, the banana is difficult ot digestion and may give rise lu alimentary distress, A closer consideration of the composition of the banana may serve to oluoldate the Bltuatlon Tho fruit is brought to our Northern markets green, ami is rl pencil by artificial beat. This process nm he hastened or delayed within certain limits, according to the momentary demands of tho retail trade. The color of th-' pool gives evidence of iho degree of ripeness. The green banana contains In ihe pari (••.elusive ef tho nkln about l-B per cent, of protein and -0 to J.r> per cent, of carbohydrate, almost, entirely starch. In the ripe banana, with yellow-brown peel, the edible pari contains somewhat less (10 to IU per cent) of carbohydrate; but thai which remains is now almost entirely i.i the form of soluble BUgar; Ihe green, one-fifth starch. Most of the remainder of the edible pulp Is water. Intermediate degrees of ripeness present starch and sugar in reciprocal proportions, varying between the limits set above. Inasmuch as bnnanas are commonly eaten uncooked, It is obvious that more or less raw starch 'will be in- Rested If the fruit is not ripe, I.e., ir the skin has not begun to shrivel and darken. Raw starch may be singularly Irritating to the alimentary tract of man aud Is at best poorly utilized whether it be Ingested in the form of uncooked potatoes, chest-nuts, hamulus or other native starchy foods. No one would advise the use nf uncooked potatoes; yet many people eschew a thoroughly ripe banana in tbo belief that the wholesome fruit Is "rotten" when the skin becomes darkened. whereas tbey eagerly eat the yellow- green starch-bearing fruit at a stage of incomplete ripeness.

Words led to blows, much to lho surprise of the spectators, who came to see cricket, not fighting. This is very sad. We thought football had a monopoly of thai sort of thing.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills nre a certain cure for anaemia, because they make new, rich blood, which stimulates and strengthens every organ and every part of the body.

THE POTATO BLIGHT Editor, Chilliwack Free Press Dear Sir,—As it is apparent to everyone that there is a considerable amount of Potato Might in the I/jwcr Frasor Valley this year, an.l as the disease is so uncommon in this district, it might lie of interest to your readers to publish thc following extract from a work by the celebrated seedsman of England. "The fungus which attacks the Potato crops was formerly known as Feronospera Infestans; now it is recognized as Phytrphtora Infestans. Thc mark of its pestilent touch on the foliage and its destructive effect on the tubers of Potatoes, are unfortunately too familiar in gardens and on the farms, lu dry seasons the energies are restricted, but the scourge is never nlisent, and during wet summers tbc parasite does its deadly work on such a vast scale as to create potato Famine. Moisture is a necessity of its existence, and in rotting haulm, decayed tuliers and damp soil the sport's remain in resting conditions until they are afforded an opportunity of multiplying witli the marvellous rapidity that invests the the disease with its terrible power. The Phytopthem (fungs) sends mycelial threads (called Phyphac) in ull directions through the stib- ttnnec of the leaf, feeding on the protoplasm of the cells and destroys thc Chlorophyll or leaf gum in those eells. ln a diseased plant these threads make their way through the substance of the leaves aipl down the haulm into the tubers, from which they consume thc food stored there. Spraying potato plants twice or thrice with thc mixture known as Bordeaux prolongs the growth of tlie plant until late in tlie season, and in some instances especially in certain districts iu the west of Ireland, it lias prov.nl effective in warding off the attack of thc fungus, thereby increasing the weight of the produce. Thc mixture is made in the proportion of 'itllbs <>f Sulphate of Copper nnd 10 Mis of lime to 100 gallons ol water. Those who leave potntt.es in the ground bo- cnusc the erop is not worth digging or who bury the diseased haulm and tuliers iu a shallow trench nre simply storing Phytophora for another attack in the event of potatoes Wing planted in the same land again. Tlie effectual method is t» destroy all potato..' refuse hy lire. Extract from The culture of Vegetables and Flowers from Seeds and Roots by Stiltons and Boris, Heading, Eur." After reading the extract one is forced to thu conclusion that the disease is a matter that should engage thu earnest attention of lhe authorities as well as the growers themselves, es|>cciully us the greater numlier of the latter aru Chinamen. Tliere is uo doubt that unless ste|)s ure taken to rid the country of rotten and diseased potato refuse, next year will see a similiar condition of affairs, unless the sea son is unsunlly dry. As the potato has become nn Important staple of produce in this valley and as the value of land lias Increased on account of the high rents paid for good potato land, it is u matter of great importance thut cure should lie taken to eradicate disease and also to preserve the fair nniue of our valley on the t-oimt markets. This is not a matter that can lie lightly passed over as a thing that is tin incident of one year, that is more or less accidental and unlikely to occur again. The disease will make its appearance next year if precautions are not taken to limit tho chances for 11 repetition of this year's loss. Thanking you for your valuable space, 1 am Yonrs truly It. C, Harwell. COLUMBIA COLLEGE There ure many parents throughout the province with whom Ihe question of an oducation for their sons and daughters is nn anxious one. They may bo iu good circumstances i but their pi'e«eiit prosperity bus been obtained iu many 0IIB0S through heavy BUOrlflcOB, not the least of tllCBO being thu absence ot proper school facilities for Iheir children. Kven now there are numerous places in Ihe province where 11 really competent school teacher cannot be induced to stay. The traveller in lhe interior who lakes an interest iu sueh matters will bu often nskeil about tho iKissibility of Undine; 11 residential school to whieh buys and girls muy lie scut. Sueh uu institution may be prepared to tuke pupils,— those whose education bus been interrupted by circumstances or injured by careless and inaccurate habits of study, lt must subject them to oversight, not only during school hours, but also in the study hours at night; for as a rule thc chief trouble is tliat their jKiwer of concentrating their attention on, tbeir lessons has been impaired, and the habit of study has to be re- foriiieil. It is to the honor of the Methodist Church In llritish Columbia that it was the lirst to faco this problem. When Columbian College was lieing organized in 1892, it was kept clearly iu view. It was seen that this preliminary work would be greatly assisted by being carried on in the same institution, and to some extent hy the same instructors, thnt served for secondary and university work. A boy is not to be taught to respect knowledge and mnke a determined effort to acquire it, unless his teachers possess something of the specialist's mastery. Columbian College possesses many advantages for its special work. It occupies one of the finest sites in New Westminster,-over six acres being taken up by the institution and its spacious grounds. It commands a line view over the wide valley of the Fraser and towards the eastern mountains. Tlie graceful cone of Mount linker is nowhere seen W greater advantage than from the college campus. The entire panorama is litted to call forth the envy of nearly any similar institution. Tlic buildings are modern, spacious, and thoroughly healthy. Each student is given a separate room, completely and tastefully furnished so that nothing but linen hns to be brought. The rooms are ull steam heated and electric lighted; und nothing is stinted which will help lo seeure cheerful and relincd surroundings. The ladies' college has beautifully furnished music and reception rooms, lt is only literal truth to state that tliere is nothing bettei to lie found iu tlie west than the accomodation at Columbian College. The gymnasium has the largest lloor of any in the west. There is n lady instructor in charge of the physical culture classes for the girls. Throe very tine grass tennis courts and croquet lawn nre maintained iu iH-rfecl condition; and the grounds have ample space for fo.it- liall and the other games whieh call for ellN.wr.Him. TllO instructions follow three main lilies. There is the preparatory division, where pupils from fourteen upward! are brought up to lhe standard of high school entrance. Tlie care whicli is taken with this department has lieen already des- crlbcd, Students who have passed through it are ready to make their choice between the commercial and academic departments. The com mcrclal classes nre under the direct ion of a teacher who has received the very highest training in American business schools. The stenographic work is carried on by a competent lady instructor. Tnis de- partnionl of the college work has boon popular every since iis establishment. The collegiate department is necessarily graded more closely than the others. The lirst two years nre in the main identical with the lirst and second high school years, witli such modifications as are called for by the standing of the pupils. The third year prepares for the Matriculation of Toronto and McGill Universities. Following these come the lirst und BOCOnd year of University work proper. As soon as the provincial university opens, the second year at Columbian College will bo dropped, A complete course in household science is given in the college, on the same lines as in all the best ladies' colleges in the country, The musical department prepares students for thc examinations of the three Toronto bodies which direct that branch of education. The social life of the college is of as much consequence as anything else in or out of tho curriculum. It is Impossible for nearly two hundred students to meet in class room, in playing held day by day aud in social gatherings withoui great effects resulting from it. Thc supervision of this large body of students is careful and sympathetic; ami au admirable spirit of attachment to the Institution prevails aiming both past and present students. ('nestioi,s are sometimes raised us to the religious affiliations of the college. Pulling other and higher considerations out of account, it would be hnpOBSliblo for a residential college to carry on its work without some definite churoh connection, lu no other way can it undertake to be responsible for the entire life of its students during the months of absence from home. Hut the atmosphere is broad and tolerant; and no parent need have any fear of his son or daughter feeling isolated in thc surroundings of Columbian College. ___, The UMeuNiMe Wealber. A great many theories have been advanced tb uccount for the very unseasonable weather prevalent this summer. One is tbut the heavy use of dynamite in blasting along the lines of railway construction in Northern British Columbia, is at tlie bottom of the mischief. Another and still more reasonable supposition, is that thc recent volcanic disturbances in Alaska are accountable. It will be remembered that during tlie construction of the main line of tlie C. P. lt, across this province, tlic rainfall was excessive throughout the entire west. The noise caused hy explosions has been responsible fqr many curious phen- omenia. During thc Franco-German war in 1870-71, the British Isles were invaded by swarms of quail, supposed to have been driven out of France by the gun fire of tlie opposing armies. Whether the wholesale blasting in tbe north will have a similiar effect on bird and animal life and drive them southward, remains to be seen, but to a certain extent this is the expectation of many.—Ex.

IF you were to build two silos—one of wood, the other of concrete—side by side, and then could see them as they will look after live years of service, you wouldn't have to think twice to decide which is the best material. In a few years more there wouldn't be much of the original wooden silo led—the repairing you'd have to do would be as troublesome and cost as much as thc building of an entirely new one.

Address Lydla K. Flak- ham Medicine Oa., (confidential) Lyma, Some Fly Two Miles High, Faster Than an Express Train The problem of how sninll birds were able to manage long (lights from ether countries exercised tho in.nils of naturalists for centuries I'he Mrs: man to collect accurate tnfotinntlon on the subject was the lata lien- Ontke. Living on the little Island or Heligoland, ln the direct rout] of mi- i-ration, a.vd entirely devoted to his Mil-Ject. he was nl.e to verify tor himself many facts which had until thou escaped notice. For Instance, he pointed out that birds on migration often flew very- high—probably as much as 12.000 feet (over two miles) above the ground. That they do fly at a great height has been corroboroted by astronomers, who have seen birds flying across the face of the moon at a height of not less than one mile. Galke's Ideas on speed were probably exaggerated, but only by a theory of a tremendously swift flight at a high altitude could he account for the fact that cerlaln birds were never or rarely seen iu the countries between Iheir Winter and Summer quarters. For Instance, he pointed out that the blue throat, which winters In Africa and breeds In Scandinavia, Is but rarely met with in any nf the countries on the line of route— Italy. Greece and Southern Germany. When they arrived In Heligoland they came lu large flocks, and were tired and exhausted; also they always arrived at the same hour—somewhat late in the morning. Ho thought lt probable that they left Africa at dusk the previous evening, and by flying at the rato of 180 miles an hour would be able to reach Heligoland In the oue flight lietween 1880 aud 1887 the British Association granted some money to a special committee for tho study of migration, and by means of schedules much Information was collected about the birds Ibut ure killed annually at coast lights. Although many tacts were thus obtained the observations In this respect are almost entirely dependent on weather conditions. In fact It may be said that tho only niigrallon that can be actually seen Is that whloh has partially failed, for It Is only when delayed or held back by stonni or fog lhat birds obviously un passage are encountered along thc const or In other places where they are not usually found. In Denmark nml Germany ornithologists havo been experimenting by ringing birds and having those lhat are caught relumed lo lhe address given on the aluminum bund placed on lhe bird's leg.

Shearing Sheep With a Machine Shearing sheep with a machine Is practical for most farmers, says the S rathe a Agriculturist. As with any other machine, a man should have some knack with machinery to do the best work. The greatest advantage ln using this method of shearing is t' at y~-.i get practically all the wool. During the World's Fair at St. Louis they bad a contest between the old- iasliioi ed method of shearing by hand aid t! e newer one of clipping the sheep wilh the machine. After the expert hand shearer had finished a sheep the machine would clip about thirteen ounces of wool. So the saving of wool would soon pay for the shearing machine. A man with from 25 to 100 head of sheep should use the hand machine, but with larger flocks the power machine is more practical. It one's neighbor raise sheep, they can Install a power plant with a line shaft to run us many machines as they wish with a small gas engine. When shearing time comes they can set a day, collect their flocks and help each other. 1 have such a plant ln my barn with three machines run from a line shaf*. with a loose pulley, so eacli machine can be operated or stopped Independently, as the shearer wishes, by shifting the belt from the tight to the loose pully. We shear with this plant, running three mas- chines, about 200 sheep In a day wllh the average farm hands. A Bicycles In War A correspondent, interested In the hitherto neglected branch of the service, will be gratified to learn that thc authorities are beginning to take serious notice of the possibilities involved In the use of the cycle in war. A great advance has been made of late In Its employment for purposes of defence at home, ln proof of which It is only necessary to refer to the Increase in the number of purely cy- tie battalions maintained ln the Territorial Force. But above and beyond that ls the Information contained ln the new 'War Establishments." which shows an Increase ln the number of bicycyes tn the regular Army, and a greater recognition ot the mo- tor cycle. A cavalry division has now 18 motor cycles and 371 ordinary bicycles, as against 118 of the latter hitherto. All this ls very encouraging to those enthusiasts who have hitherto met with a somewhat cold reception from the Authorities in the advocacy of the cycle. But we regret there is no sign of any cyclists units ln the 'tegular Army so far.

When a business concern invests a lurge sum of money in a handsome store anil equipment for retail merchandising, the public feels a certain degree of oonliiienee that thc concern Ini-gnmls worth examining. Peoplo argue that unless they hail established a reputation fur fair dealing ami unless they had goods thai Ihey knew IiIh.I a need, thev would not dull- spend so much money. Advertising, likewise, nets as a guarantee of substantial business character. When a linn spends money frcly on this necessary form of saleniiinship, lhe public concludes that it must have goods hack of it that hnve demonstrated their worth, or the linn would not huve set apart this sum of money for selling them through the newspapers. A concern that does not advertise impresses public us merely an experiment. The fact that it may have been iu existence for many years does not help it very much. The public nmy even look at mere existence for a long term of years as a disqualification, indicating preference for old time methods, It takes advertising to prove that you have confidence in your goods.
