demned-Desiyns for a New First-Class
Torpedo i,oat with Dynamite Gun At
tachment for Use as a Torpedo Thrower.
New YORK, Jan. 1.-The Herald's
Washington special says. The dyna-
mite gun is coming to the front again.
Strange as it may seem, Commander
Folger. who has always condemned
the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius and her
guns, is now hearty advocate
of the system. Before severing his
connection with the ordnance
bureau he formally approved de-
sign for first class torpedo
boat with pneumatic dynamite gun
to be used as Il torpedo thrower. The
designs of the torpedo boat and gun.
although bearing the mark of the ord
nance bureau, is almost an exact du
plicate of the plans recently furnished
by the Yarrow company of England to
the dynamite gun company of this
country The craft will contain the
usual torpedo apparatus as an inn
portant auxiliary to the dynamite
gun. The gun itself is an inn
proved Zalinski. The intention is
to ask congress to make an appropria
ton for several of these torpedo boats
during the present session. The house
naval committee will soon take up the
subject of new ships, and should the
Vesuyius' guns come up to the cxpecta-
ton of their advocates, it is under
stood that Chairman Herbert will favor
the construction of torpedo boat or
two mounted with dynamite guns Of
the improved type.

i'Hi'' noQ never Deen
seen in Denmark such man as Mr..
Carr. He was a good liver, he weighed
about 300 pounds, and he could eat two
swell dinners per day and keep it up sew
en- days per week. His feats in this line
had become so celebrated that the Danes,
who for the most part are very serious
minded people, could meet the emer-
gency only by the invention of q joke,
the first real joke that has been known
to come out of Denmark since Hamlet
trapped the murderous pair with the
snare Of the players.
1T was considered such a good joke"
said the narrator, that during my stay
in Copenhagen | heard it about SO times.
Wherever l went the conversation was
deity switched in the direction Of the
recent American minister. Now, it was
q compliment for him and again an in
quiry concerning his health, but always
for the purpose of leading up to tho same
old joke. | laughed at it at least 90
times, and then it began to pail on me-
For time compromised on smiles, and
at last it became 80 positively painful
that the mere mention of the late Amer
lean minister spoiled my appetite, for
always knew what was coming"
But you haven't told us what the joke
was"
Haven't II Well, what would you
expect: They had dubbed him The
American Dining Carr of course"

Very many times redness OF the nose
is the result of bad circulation. Nearly
all the English women djsfgured in this
way are Unfortunately laced. All the
clothing, even to the gloves, should be
loOSened and worn SO until the color
disappears, and the feet should be kept
warm day and night. Frequently hot
foot bath will cure red nose by draw
ing the blood from the head. The color
may arise from congestion or inf1amma-
ton Of the noStrilS, in which case wash
ing with warm water is recommended.
When healed the use of fine snuff may
help matters. A woman with red nose
should avoid taking cold, as cold in
the head will often tint the nose OF an
African. The simplest foods are needed
to nOuriSh the body, and at the same
hand, cold temperatures and cold ap-
pications are to be avoided as much as
possible
A red nose is a notifying feature,
and almost as hard to cure as freckles.
If the unbecoming color is caused by
drinking, nothing but the principles Of
the w. q. r. U. will remove it. FIRE.

should be taken to purify the blood and
improve the health. Such articles as
sailed and picked meats, smoked fish,
spiced and greasy dishes. every variety
of gravy.and pork in every form, should
be strictly forbidden. Bathing III cold
water is prescribed daily with vigorous
rubbing, and from eight to ten hours
rest. Another important factor is a
clean atmosphere night and day.

What Grant Said,

New York Advertiser.
Gen. Horace Porter says that Gen.
Grant had no warmer, closer friend in
the army than Gen. Rufus ingalls,, the
Quartermaster of the Army of the Poto-
mac, who died in this city Sunday
morning. They served in the Mexican
war together. Gen. Porter tells how,
on the evening after the surrender of
Lee at Appomattox,t the people at Grants
headquarters were all anxious to hear
what the victor would have to say. He
was silent at supper, but after the
mess had gathered around on camp
stools outside the supper tent smoking
their cigars, Gen. Grant turned sud-
denly TO Gen. ingalls, and said: "Rufe,
do you remember that gray mule that
old - used to ride down in Mexico?''
ingalls, replied that he did. Then Gen.
Grant let himself loose on Mexican
"reminiscences, which both he and
ingalls, enjoyed. And this is all that
Grant, the conqueror, had to say that
evening about the surrender Of Lee,
