It is not at all surprising that there is
growing feeling of hostility among
the peasant class to the rich men of this
country on the continent of Europe. It
seems that these rich men have too lit
tle regard for human life. A youug
i man named Shepard, a member of the
Vanderbilt family, was arrested in Paris
not long ago for running his automobile |
over and badly injuring or killing a boy.
He was heavily fined and sentenced to
I three months in jail. He has paid his
fine, bnt the jail sentence hangs over
him, and the impression seems to be he
will have to serve it.
William K. Vanderbilt and wife, on
their way from Rome to Florence the
other day in their automobile, ran over

SAVED THE LANDS.
THE BANANA PLANT.
How De Co.linin' (-rent Speech Hap
pened to no Delivered.
The longest speech on record Is be
lieved to have been that made by Mr.
de Cosnnis in the legislature of British
Columbia when a measure was pend
ing the passage of which would have
taken from a great many settlers tlieir
lands. De Cosnnis was in a minority.
The measure had been held hack till
the eve of the close of the season or
session. Unless action was taken be
fore noon of a given day the act would
fail. De Cosmus got the floor at 10
;t. in. and began a speech against the
Bach Tree Prodace. Only One Bunch
of the Fruit.
The banana plant is not properly a
tree at all. It has no woody fiber. It Is
a large, green, fleshy plant, with big
leaves six or eight feet long and some
times two feet broad. It grows to a
height of ten to fourteen feet or even
more, according to the variety of
plant and the soli and climate. Each
tree produces one bunch of fruit only,
which Is really the terminal bud of the
plant, just like an ear of wheat or
barley. It hns no branches, and when
| where the accident occurred.
These two instances are mentioned as
showing an utter disregard of life on
1 the part, of rich American automobiles
1 in Europe. Of course they have no in
tention of doing anybody harm, but
j they are so indifferent as to whether
they do or not that they drive their ma
chines along the highways at a rate
that is dangerous to human life. If
they had a proper respect for life they
would send their automobiles along at a
moderate rate of speed.—Savannah

gave no mercy, no time for dinner or

But while it Is growing up and ma-

sending up from its roots other young
plants or suckerB — perhaps eight or
nine of them. Each of these will pro
duce Its own bunch In turn, some of
them in a couple of months after the
parent plant, and there will thus be a
regular succession of fruit. Many of
these suckers hnve to be dug up and
planted elsewhere, or they would be
too thick on the ground.
And there is this peculiarity about
the banana; You can plant it at any

A Cnrloua Wooden Wntch.
The most curious timekeeper perhaps
that has ever been made In this coun
try was the work of one Victor Doriot,
who lived at Bristol, Tenn., in the last
century. This horological oddity was
nothing more or less than a wooden
watch. The ease was made of brier
root, and the Inside works—all except
three of the main wheels and the
springs, which were of metal — were
made from a piece of an old boxwood
rule. The face, which was polished
until It looked like a slab of finest
Ivory, wag made from the shoulder
blade of an old cow that had been
killed by the cars. “Dorlot’s queer
watch,’’ as it was called, was an open
fnced affair, with a glnss crystal, and
was pronounced an elegant piece of
workmanship by all the watchmakers

A Wonderful Memory.
Hortensius, the great Roman lawyer
and orator, had a memory of extraor
dinary scope and tenacity. After com
posing a speech or oration he could re
peat it word for word exactly as he
had prepared it. On one occasion he a3t to grind,
went to an auction, where the business
was carried on during an entire day,
and at evening, for a wager, he wrote

The Famous Method Known us the
Boustropliedon.
About the year 450 B. C. the Ionians
first introduced the system of writing
from left to right. Previous to that
time all scribes and penmen in general
had been in the habit of beginning the
line on the right hand side of the page
and running it toward the left. The
Introduction of the left to right mode
of writing caused considerable confu
sion for a time, and from the mixed
systems which prevailed during the fol
lowing century sprang the famed meth
od knowii as the boustropliedon. Those
who used the system last mentioned
would begin a line at tbe left margin
of their parchments and run It through
to the opposite margin and then drop
n space below and run back to the op
posite edge of the sheet again. In oth
er words, the boustrophedon mode of
writing was a system in which the lines
ran alternately from left to right and
from right to left. This system did not
entirely disappear until about the time
of Christ. The ancient Hebrew and
Greek languages were written from
right to loft, but at nbout the time the
Ionians were reforming writing meth
ods the Greek letters were changed In
form from the uncial to the cursive,
and the system of writing was changed
1 In both cases so as to run from left to
right. The following quotation from
Franklin illustrates tbe mixed, or bous
trophedon. system of writing:

Linnets In Africa.

linnets come to drink out of the Atbara
river; "They come with an undulating
rush, and, small as they are, the rush
ing of the wind ns they beat the air
makes a noise like thunder, and their
numbers darken the, sky. The weight
of the throngs of them which alight at

Conger eels hunt for tbe octopus and,

limbs. The octopus tries to hug the
slippery, slimy conger tight, but In
rain, and, finding its limbs growing
less, discharges Its ink in the face of

water beats a hasty retreat. It is to j
escape the too pressing attention of Its
