Bananas in Typhoid Fever.

William G. Ussery,- M. D., Of St..
Louis, says that the best food for those
suffering from typhoid fever is the ba-
mana. In this disease, he explains, the
lining membrane Of the small intes-
tines becomes intensely inflamed and
.engorged. Eventually it begins slough
ing away in spots, leaving well-defned
ulcers. At these places the intestinal
walls become dangerously thin. A
solid food, if taken into the stomach,
is likely to produce perforation Of the
intestines and dire results will follow.
Therefore, solid foods, or foods, con-
tanning large amount of innutricious
substances, as compared with nutri-
cious substances, are dangerous and
are to be avoided. The banana, al
though it may be classed as a solid
food, containing, as it does, 95 per cent.
nutrition, does not possess sufficient
waste to irritate these sore spots.
Nearly the whole amount taken into
the stomach is absorbed, and gives the
patient more strength than can be OBJ
tanned from other food. Chicago Inter

The First Yacht Built In America.

A number of wealthy gentlemen in
New York city founded the New York
Boat club in 1880; and for them Nj.
francis built the first yacht ever con-
structed in America. He was able,
you see, to turn his hand to almost
anything which had to do with sailing
on the sea. Some Canadian gentlemen
wanted a racing row boat to beat the
boat of some of their friends from:
England who were coming over from
the mothcrland to give them battle at
Quebec. Mr.. Francis was called upon
to build the boat. It was Of mahoga-
ny, brass-fastened, and it weighed only
sixty pounds, a remarkably light rae
ing boat FOR that day. It was four
cared and was thirty feet long. They
called it the Eagle, and 1t well deserved
its name, for it won the race against
the crack crew OF the English. It was
the first rowing boat for racing pur-
poses ever built in America. 80 oseh

ROANOKE. VA. March 2i.-The report
that the Norfolk and Western Railway
will be consolidated into three or four
divisions in a short time eXcites much
interest here. There are now twelve di-
visions of the road, employing eleven
superintendent. and as this change
would involve the removal of seven or
eight Of these. there is much speculation
as TO where the axe will fall officials
are silent on this point. but il is believed
the reduction will soon be made.
The Norfolk and Western has contract
ed to supply the Illinois Steel Company
and several Pennsylvania companies with
coke. which will add largely 10 the traffic
Of the road. besides greatly stimulating
the Industries Of the PocahOntas region.
