Am Eastern Legend Bays the Serpent Tempted E v , With a Banana. There exists a legend relative to the Christian inhabitants of the east that they believed the banana to be the tree of the source of good and evil, in a bunch of whose fruit the serpent that tempted Eve hid itself, and they , add that when Adam and Eve became ashamed of their nakedness they coveted them selves with the leaves of this plant. Beyond all doubt this legend had some influence upon the minds of those early botanical classifiers who designated two species of tlie plant by the names of Musa puridisiaca and Musa sapicntiiim — fruit of paradise, fruit of know! W »c. The origin of the Intuaiia is given as India, at the foot uf the Hima layas, where it has Is-en cultivated sinee remotest Antiquity. Its origin in the new world is ns doubtful as the origin of the American Indian. •Natural to Asia and Africa, where more than twenty distinct species of the genua are known, it is said to have b£en brought first to Amer ica from Spain, early in the six teenth century, and planted in the island of San Domingo, whence its spread was rapid throughout the surrounding islands and the main land. This has never been authentically established, however, and some au thorities include the banana among the articles that formed the base of the food supply of the Incas and the Aztecs before the arrival of the Spaniards. Certain it is, through out the whole of meridional Amer ica there is n strong tradition that at least two species of thq plantain were cultivated long before the com ing of the Europeans. Furthermore it is singular that in all the languages indigenous to the region where the banana appears that plant has a special name, not proceeding from the conquerors, as was the cum - with the names of many other plants, animals and various urtivies introduced into America alter ils discovery. Grown over the entire extent of tiie meridian of the earth, the fruit of the banana today forms in large part the principal food of a major ity of the peoples living under the tropical zone. Several species and numerous varieties of the plant ap pear throughout tropical America, hut it is cultivated for commercial purposes in appreciable quantities only along the Atlantic border from southern Mexico to Colombia, in Jamaica, Cuba, San Domingo and the Bahamas, the far western mar kets of the United States being supplied from the Hawaiian Islands and Mexico’s south Pacific coast.— National Geographic Magazine. Papa’s Girl. Dorothy, aged nine, understands her father much better than her mother does. This little episode took place at the breakfast table the other ipprning. Dorothy rises from her seat and goes over to her father. She hands him a howl. “Here, daddy, have some oat meal.” “Don’t, Dorothy,” cautions her mother. “You know your father never eats cereals for breakfast.” “I know he doesn't, marmsey,” Dorothy replies. “Then why bother him?” “Oh, I just want to give him something to fuss about before he leaves for the office. He’s been awfully quiet this morning.”—St. Louis Republic. §>end some one.

The mayor of a small town was trying a negro for abusing his wife. She claimed he got drunk and tried to beat her and she hit him.

Preservation of Wild Birds Henry 0|dye, In hie lecture given under the aoepicee of the Huntington Branch of the Brooklyn Institute laet Toeedey night, brought' out some startling facts es to the destruction of wild birds all over the world. He told how that the wild pigeons that were et one time ee uumerons that in their flighte the Immense hosts going et the rate of sixty miles en hour, shut out the light of the sun for half a day. One of their rooste a few years ego near Petosky, Michigan, covered an area three or foor mi lee by forty or, fifty miles, in which they were all densely crowded. Today not a bird re in ins. He said that on Long Island the slaughter of water fowl, such as ducks, brant and geese, was gradually exterminaling them. Some Hunting- ton nimrods ooast of killing 40 or 50 a day. He told also of tbe efforts that are being made to preserve many varietiea from destruction. Prominent among them is the purchase by Mrs. Russell Sage, of New Ynrk, and Mr. Mcliheny, of Louisiana^ each of a large island off the mouth of the Mississippi, for the propagation and protection of water fowl. Also of the maintenance by tbe United States Government of a big game preserve on Pelican Island, Flor ida. He told of Germany, France and Great Britain’s work in preserving wild birds. Quail, which at one time were abundant on Long Island, are now nearly extinct here, and in spite of the fact that English pheasants and partridges have been brought here in large numbers and used in stocking Long Island forests, there are few if any left. The trouble is greedy pot hunters from the city, and, sfiame upon them, many of our h^me gunners, ruthlessly destroy these birds without any regard to the future. The measures being taken by (he Long Island Game Protective Associ ation ere prodective of ■ greet deal of good. Dering the peat yeer they have made 237 arrests and collected $4,410 from those who have killed geme oet of season or in violation of the regula tions under the Game laws of the State. The association maintain* a water patrol. It maintains tbe power boat Olive end two or three smell launches and effectively patrols Long Island Soohd. President Van Norden eaye in hie report: “ This association bee been active during the yeer in an attempt to se cure an op-to-date, well equipped and well managed game farm for Long leland. The Conservation Commis sion introdoced a bill during the earty part of the eeeiione, which provided for fear game farms, with the under standing that one and perhaps two, should go to Long Island. This bill, appropriating $60 000, passed the Legislature on March 22, the under standing being at that time that prob ably two farms would be established; one in the western portion of the State, and the other on Long Island. It was the purpose of this Association to co operate with the Conservation Commission, to the end that a plot of approximately 160 acres of land should be parchased in the centre of Long Isl and, should be properly equipped with fences, buildings, etc., and should be put under the supervision of an experi enced and trained game keeper. It was then pioposed to stock this farm with pheasant,, quail and perhaps part ridge, and raise these birds for distri bution to residents of Long Island, and for release in the Long leland covers. The principal idea of thia game farm, however, was to encourage tbe building op of a new industry on Long Island in the raising of these birds for the market. Under the Bayne law, a large number of game birds aio im ported from Europe every year, and are consumed in New York, and good prices are paid for them. There is no reason why many of these birds should not be raised on Long Island and ■hipped directly to New York for eon* sumption.” Governor Dlx vetoed an appropri ation for thia farm last winter, but it le Intended to introduce ■ bill egeiA this yeer. <; / It le generally agreed by eporUmen end naturalists that the Federal pro tection of migratory blrde, such ae wildfowl, shore birda, robin, etc., ie tbe only final and practical eolation of the problem of the preservation of these birds. A lew which adequately protects birds may be well enforced In e North ern State, hot if tbe Statea farther South do not co-operate, much of the reeulta obtained in the North may be nullified. Such an act was formulated last year by the Senate and the House and will come before the National Legislature th ■ year for paesaee.—Long Islander.
