Typhoid Fever and Bannn mas.

William G.. Ussery, M. d., of st.
Louis, says that the best food for those
suffering from typhoid fever is the
banana. In this disease, he explains,
the lining membrane of the small in
testines becomes intensely inflamed
and engorged. Eventually it begins
away in spots, leaving we'll
defined ulcers. At these places the
intestinal walls become dangerously
thin. A solid food, if taken into the
stomach, is likely to produce perfora-
ton of the intestine and dire results
will follow. Therefore solid foods or
foods containing a large amount of
inuutritous substances, as compared
with nutritious substances, are danger
Gus and are to be avoided. The ba-
mama, although it may be classed as q
solid food, containing as it does 95 per
cent nutrition, does not possess sufli-
cient waste to irritate these sore spots.
Nearly the whCle amount taken into
the stomach is absorbed and gives the
patient more strength than can be OBJ
tanned from other food-New York

 q have been reading that story about Chickering giving me knife with a champagne opening attach ment," remarked Representative Hull, of Iowa, a short time ago, ''and it's go- ing the rounds just as every good story does that is printed in the Post. But did any of you ever hear @iickering' $ cigar story?"
 None apparently had heard it, and he told It.
 "Chickering lives at the Hamilton when in Washington. There Is big family smoking in the house, where all the Congressman gather around a center table and hold a to. bacco congress every evening. Chick ering used to come down every night, and before taking his seat plunge his hand into an inner pocket and draw out a handful of fine cigars. He used to pass them around, and to the credit of those assembled be it said, they al- ways did him the honor to accept. One night Chickering, after passing them around, asked how they liked his ct- gars. Oh, they all liked them exceed ingly we'll; they were fine cigars. and they voted Chickering a connoisseur.
 "'Well, said the New Yorker, they ought to be good ones. I raised the to- bacco myself, on my farm in Lewis county. and on rainy days, when he can't do anything else, my hired man, who Is something of genius, goes into the barn and rolls up quantity of to- bacco into cigars and sends them to me-
 "The smoking party didn't say much. In fact, an impressive silence fell upon the assemblage, and by and by one af- ter the other edged up to the door, opened it and threw his cigar into the gutter.
 "The next evening Chickering again took his seat at the festive smoking board, and, as usual, pulled out a handful of cigars, which he volun- teered to pass around. But the party concluded it wanted no more of his

WOMEN'S CLUBS.
hours.

Few things besides the bicycle are more indicative of the progress of Love- ly Woman than the clubs she belongs to. It will surprise those who have not kept track of the increase in number and size of women's clubs to read that at the general federation of such clubs, to meet soon in Louisville, delegates are expected from 454 clubs in thirty-nine States, in seventeen of which States there are federations of clubs. Iowa leads the States in the number of clubs, having 125, Ohio being next in rank with 104, and New York third with 100. Writing of the purposes and work of these clubs, Harriet c. Towner says: In these formative years, busy with the work of organization, it will not be ex- pected that the full measure of useful ness of these organizations will be manifested. To assume place among the organized factors of progress is so new an experience that some time may be granted to getting used to the posi- tion. SeIf-culture is not necessarily either selfish or exclusive. It is in the armory that weapons are fashioned, hence much of club work is devoted to study, discussion, preparation. Pur. poses beyond these are not always dis tinctly announced, sometimes not even perceived But as organization is per fected work develops, and there are few clubs in the State, with even a years experience of club work, but engage ill some undertaking having for its ob ject the betterment of the community.
 Among the good work done by wo- mems clubs is mentioned the building up of a sentiment in favor of good pub lie libraries, the bringing to bear of an organized force in favor of clean streets and village improvement, and the di- rection of philanthropic movements for the establishment of hospitals, or phanages and homes. Playing cards, smoking and drinking are not yet rec ognized as important matters in wo- mems clubs.
