GEORGIA has a unique railroad
train, which is described by the At
lanta Constitution. 1t runs from
Chamblee up on the Air Line Road
out to Roswell, a distance Of only
about fifteen miles, but the little
train is famous. 1t consists Of one
car. which is divided into three COM
partmcnts, an engine without any Of
the modern improvements, without
even a tender, the wood being piled
up in the cab. AS soon as everybody
gets on the train starts. There is no
preliminary bell ringing or warning
from the engine, but you arc off,
humping and rolling around at the
rate of about nine miles an hour be-
fore you know it. At different places
along the line, at road crossing, in
the middle of a cotton patch or corn
field, or anywhere a passenger presents
himself, the little train will stop.

Typhoid Fever and Eananas.

William c. Usscry, NJ. D., of St.
Louis says that the hest food for those
suffering FROM typhoid fever is the ba-
mana. In this disease, he explains, the
lining membrane Ct the small intcstines
becomes intensely infialned and cngcrg-
ed. Eventually it begins slcughing away
in spots. leaving we'll defined ulcers.
At these places the intestinal walls be-
come dangerously thin. A solid feed, it
taken into the stomach, is likely to pro-
duce pcrforation OF the intestiEes and
dire results will follow. Therefore solid
foods or foods containing large amount
of innutritious substances, as compared
with nutritious substances, arc danger
Gus and are to be avoided. The banana,
although it may be classed as q solid
food, containing as it does IS per cent
nutrition, does not possess sufficient
waste to irritate these sore spots. Nearly
the whole amount taken into the stopl.
ach is absorbed and gives the patient
more strength than can be obtained from
other food.-New York Tribune.

irving Ordeal. For Presidents

In writing of the pardoning pow
er invested in the president, Hon.
Benjamin Harrison says in The Ladies'
Home journal: 1.-THE papers in these
murder cases are usually voluminous-
q full record or all abstract Of the evil
dence making part. If the trial seems to
have been 1airly conducted and no new
exculpatory evidence is produced, aid
the sentence does not seem to have been
unduly severe, the president refuses to
interfere. He cannot weigh the evidence
as we'll as the judge and jury. They saw
and heard the witnesses, and he has
only writing before him. 1t happens
sometimes that the wife or mother OF
the condemned man comes in person to
plead for mercy, and know of no more
trying ordeal than to hear their fearful
and sobbing utterances and to feel that
public duty requires that they be de-
MED their prayer"

A man found himself seated behind a
hat Of such large proportions that he
could scarcely see the stage ut all. Aft
or vainly endcavoring to catch glimpse
of the performers he determined that
the only thing to Go Was to get the
woman to remove her hat. "Madanl, +"
he said i'll the politest tones, "would
you be so kind as to take off your hat? 1t
prevents me from seeing the perform
ance. - "No, will not, a" was the re-
tort from the woman with the high hat
The man accepted the rebuff very calm
~, and he made vain effcrt to see the
stage for awhile longer. Finally he &c
tcrmined to try it again. Madam, "
he said, II have paid for this seat, but
by reason of your high lat am unable
TO see the stage. Will yca oblye me by
taking it OFF,
II have paid fer my scat, end in
tend to wear what I please, " was the
answer received. A fapry thought
struck tho man. Hc reached fer his silk
hat and put it OH his head. Immediate.
~ there was cry Of several voices from
behind him: ''Take off that hat! Take
eff that Lat!'' The man took his hat of,
but TIE woman, not knowing what he
had done, Of course thought that the re-
marks were intended fer her. She wa:
mad, thoroughly mad, and, gathering
herself together, she left her scat art
