way They Failed.
3 It is announced that a large banana
llrin operating in Galveston, Now Or-
_ leans and in Central American ports has
failed in business and made an assign-
ment. The reason ascribed is general
, depression in business.
Perhaps the business depression had
«munching to do with. the failure, but
those who have tried in the past few
”' years to eat bananas either raw or cook-
i-‘ed will have another way of accounting
glow it. They will attribute the failure
_ or the company to the wretched quality
01 the bananas now put upon the mar- .
that. The specimens of this fruit that
we receive in the cities of the United
States differ from what bananas were
‘lbyears ago as a green gourd differs from
a thin rind Georgia watermelon.
The banana, when allowed to ripen
,. properly, is delicious. It would become
9 _ . unimportant article of diet in our coun-
try and furnish admirable variety to
' our round of daily food. Banana flour
.llsnpe‘rior to wheat flour in many of
the properties of nutritive food—that
_is, flour made in the right way from
dried, ripe bananas. As it is, however,
in their haste to be rich the producers
and shippers of this fruit pluck the
grass green bunches, chuck them into
the hold of a vessel and send them to
the States—any sort of‘wuy to get them
clued get the money for them. They
urive hard, grass green still, flavorless
and indigestible, utterly unlit for human
food. They are sometimes turned yel-
low over gas or flame in order to give
them an artificial appearance of ripe-
ness. To attempt to eat the things is
like biting into apples of Sodom. Even
.those who like bananas best are obliged
togive them up.
This is undoubtedly the reason for
, the depression in business which over-
, ’ took the banana company. ’
, Here is a prize for a piece of perfec-
tion that is something like: In Plain-
.fleld, N. .1, the railroad tracks skirt,
along blocks and blocks of back yards.
What back yards skirting on railroads
, are‘lihe, train travelers recall with sor-
‘M and disgust. The Woman’s Town
Improvement society of Plainfleld deter-
ruined to remedy the evil, solar as their
“beautiful little city was concerned.
They offered good sized cash premiums
to the householders who could show the
cleanest and prettiest back yards along
the‘rallroad tracks. Great improvement
:mlokly became manifest. It is pleasant
know that one of the first prizes was
”won by a man named Daniel Welgtcr.

pliabed. The busy householder hiss up
the cellar stair. intending to some back
label! an hour by the clock. Here the
foul fiend limbo molasses jug gets in
his work. He so drugs the memories of
the householder to all but the work im-
mediately under his nose that this mo-’
lanes operhtlon is as lost to him as i! it
had happened .in a previous incarnation.
When at last. called to the cellar by an
errand or an entirely diam-cut nature,
he goes down those stairs, he puts his
loot in it in a way heartbreakingto
think of. The cellar door is swimming
in molasses In spite of the slowness
with which it filters into' the jug, it is
, possessed with internal seven leugued
boots as it spreads over that cellar door.
Half the molasses tor the winter sup-
ply is ‘run out, all the pumpkins and
mince pies are floating in a sea of sticky
sweet. ' Even ministers of the gospel

Talk of the enemy in the alcohol jug
who steals away the brains!
When, therefore, they read how, in
Hardy, 1a.. a bank was robbed of .700
in money While the cashier Was in the
cellar drawing a jug of molasses, at
least two-thirds of the people of this
country feel to extend to that cashier
their profoundest sympathies. They
know how it is themselves.
The Person With a Grievance.
The individual who has fits is bad
enough, but the one with a grievance is
worse. Somebody wrongs him, or at
least he thinks somebody has done so
It is all the same whether the wrong is
real or imaginary. The client is the
some. He broods over it night and day.
He makes it his constant theme of con-
versation. The cause of oflense may not
be always the same. Most anything will
do for a grievance when we set our
heads that way.
The cloud fills his whole mind and
becomes a part of it till he really at last
enjoys nothing so much as being thor-
oughly wronged and unhappy. The
poison of his mind gets into his blood.
It makes him rheumatic, dyspeptic,
jaundiced. That is another pet griev-
anon, his bad health, and he enjoys that
almost as much as the wrong done him.
He takes tons of medicine, and the more
he takes the more he broods on his
wrongs and his ill health. At last na-
ture, disgusted with him from top to
too, shakes him oil’ the list of her liv-
ing, and he goes down to his grave re-
gretted by none. His death is such a re-
licf to those who have bad to live with
him that, if etiquette permitted, they
could dance over his grave.
in the beginning he had only to make
a strong, persistent effort to shake un-
pleasant thoughts out of his mind, no
matter what anybody else did, and face
the world and life with a brave, cheer-
ful heart and lace and keep it up. Then
all clouds would in time have melted
away before his determined courage and
chocrinlness, and his life would have
boon a success and a satisfaction tohim-
self and all about him.
Dr. George F. Becker, attached to the
United States geological survey, was

‘The Brooklyn Times of Tuesday
prints the following regarding a former
frequent visitor‘in South Norwelk, a
niece of the late John L. Burbauks:
Mrs. Irene D. Wilson, oi this city, ai-.
tor a residence of three months in
Fargo, N. D., has secured an absolute
divorce from her husband. Edsen E.
Wilson. Mrs. Wilson, who is about
twenty-four years old, is the youngest
daughter of the late George Ricard
Owner. who was for years prominent
in Democratic politics and who served
one term as city works con mi sionor.
Mrs. Wilson has just returned to this
city and is at present stopping with her
mother. Mrs. Cordelia L. Conner, at 609
Putnam avenue.
Mr. Wilson is a few years older than
the woman who has just secured a di-
vorce from him. It is said that he did
not contest the proceedings. Wilson
formerly resided in this city, but is now
a resident of New York.
Toa'l‘imes reporter this morning a
relative of Mrs. Wilson at the Putnam
avenue address said: “We do not want
to discuss the case at all. What I will
sly. however, is that the proceedings
were open and above board. There was
nothing secret about the proceedings.”
To repeated questions the same aus-
wor was given-“We do not want to
discuss the question.’ ’
As to the grounds on which the di-
vorce was granted the relative of Mrs.
Wilson said: “The charges against Wil-
son were non-support and dissipation.
He never supported Mrs. Wilson.”
The couple were married slit-tie over
two years ago at the Putnam avenue nd-
mcnths old. Mrs. Wilson has the cus-
tody oi the child.
resided for many years In South Second
street below Bedford avenue. After Mr.
Lionner's death the family moved to the
Putnam avenue address. Thomas Con-
ner,like his father, was always active in
politics. He could not be questioned to-
lcy on the subject oiliis sister's divorce,
for the reason that he was hard at work
it his polling place on Summer avenue,
inst around the corner from the Putnam
avenue dwelling.
The absence of Mrs. Wilson in the
West and the worrimcnt incident to the
action have had a distressing effect on
llrs. (Jenner, Mrs. Wilson's mother. She
paid not be seen today when the repre—
sentative oi the Times called.
The friends of the faniilv are pleased
with the result of Mrs. Wilson's trip to
North Dakota, and regret that the Iowa
if the state of New York do not permit
4 divorces on the ground of nonsuppcrt
ind dissipation.
Mrs. Wilson is abandsonie, highly-ac-
complished young woman, and was ul-
wuys the central figure in her circle.
