For The Wesley
Memorial Hospitall
On Sunday, December 26th all
Methodist churches in Georgia will
ask for contributions to what is}
known as the annual Christmas
offering for charity work at Wesley
Memorial Hospital.
The public has no idea of the
amount of charity work done at
this great hospital. $12,683 worth
of charity work has been done
this year, while only $l,OOO has
been contributed to this cause.
Ihis is the tenth anniversary of
Wesley Memorial Hospital, ana
over $56,000 worth of charity
work has been done, not one-fourth
of which has been contributed, the
hospital has paid it ous of its earn
ings.
It must be thoroughly under
stood that there is no regard pa‘d
to creed nor church affiliations at
this hospital. The same treatment
;is accorded every one in need or
‘sufl'ering.
Sunday School Superintendents
and Sunday School children, par
ticularly, are asked to cooperate
in this noble work.

Harry Loo, a Chineman of East
Harris street, was arrested yes
terday it was discovered that a
remarkable elixir which he has
been selling as a cure-all and
restorative to other Chinamen,
and which was supposed to have
been obtained§from the celestial
empire with great difficulty, wasl
in plain red rye liquor with a
little flavoring in it.
The result isthat Loo will have
to answer to the charge of selling
liquor unlawfully. |

THE CURIOUS BANANA TREE.
A Plant That Will. Practically Grow
* While You Wait. |
If a good sized, healthy banana tree
is cut off a few feet above the ground |
during the wet season the tree will not
die, but nine times out of tén will send
up a new shoot from the center of the
trunk and will grow fast enough to
make up for lost time, for within forty
eight hours it will rear waving green
leaves triumiphantly above the severed
trunk, |
The secret lies in the fact that the
trunk of the banana tree is not hard
and woody like other trees, but is real
ly composed of undeveloped leaves
wrapped tightly together in a spiral;
form. When the tree grows these
rolled up leaves push upward and
merely unroll. Thus no time is lost ln‘
forming buds and growing leaves as do
ordinary trees. When the trunk is cut‘
off it doesn’t interfere with the growth
of the leaves, because they are always
pushing up from the center of the
stalk. If you will roll a sheet of paper
tightly and push against one end you
will see exactly how the leaves are
pushed up from the trunk of the ba
nana tree, and if you cut the roll in
two you will find that it doesn’t pre
vent you from pushing out the center
of the roll as before, |
Although the banana tree repairs an
injury so rapidly and well, the shoot
formed from the cut stalk seldom bears
fruit or flowers. As these shoots are
taller and stronger than the original
trees, however, they are much better
adapted to withstand wind and storms,
and the natives frequently cut the ba
nana trees in order to force them to
produce the strong, fruitless growth
and to serve as windbreaks for other
crops.—A. Hyatt Verrill in Bt. Nicholas.
A Creature Frem the Fire.
Aristotle believed that some crea
tures were capable of supporting life
even though confined to the devouring
element. He says: “In Cyprus, when
the manufacturers of chalcitis (lime)
burn it many days in the fire, a winged
creature something larger than a great
fly i 8 seen emerging from the stone
and leaping and walking about in the
fira. 'These creatures perirh immedi
ately upon being removed from the
furmace.”

take to deposit my money whe-»
many other people have deposite:d
thousands and thousands until the
bank has larger deposits thian arv

state and where the HONORABLE
TREASURER of the UNITED
STATES deposits U. S. Governmen:
moneys.—Mr. Prudent.
