THE BENEFICENT BANANA.

Profesors of Dietetics tell us that the banana nothing more, but a food and a source of real is not, as so many fruits are, a flavour and
nutrimen. „It is at once useful and delicious. It not only gratifies the palate, but supplies material for combustion and the maintenance of animal heat; while it also builds up the murcies and repairs the worn and threadbare nerves. The four made from It in the dried state is equal in nutritive value to rice, and'

Perhaps some of the salutary effects of the banana may be due to the tract of copper it contains. A little iron is ersential to the blood, and a little copper may subserve some useful purpose in the human economy. It subservan a highly ornamental purpose in the case of some of the birds. The brilliant red of the wing feathers of the turacos is due to a colour- ing matter containing copper derived from the 1539 banana, or its twin brother the plantain, upon which these irds exclusively feed. The banana cannot be recommended as a cosmetic. The coloured races who have hitherto been chiefly addicted to it have no complexion to † speak of, and the scarlet pigment in the winge of the turacos being soluble in water is apt to be washed out by a shower, but, perhaps, by its wholesomeness as a food it may contribute to cutaneous clarity,
