After a long experience with ty-
phoid patients, DIR. Ussery of st. Louis,
maintains that the best food for them
ia the banana. He explains by stat
ing that in this disease the lining
membrane of the small intestines be-
comes intensely inhamed and en-
gorged, eventually beginning to slough
away in spots, leaving well-detined
ulcers, at which places the intestinal
walls become dangerously thin. Now,
n solid food, if taken into the stomach,
is likely to produce perforation of the
intestines, dire results naturally fol-
lowing, and this being the case, solid
foods. or those containing "A large
amount of innutritious substances,
are to be avoided as dangerous. But
the banana, though it may be classed
as a solid food, containing as 1t does
some % per cent. nutrition. does not
possess sufficient waste to irrltate the
sore spots nearly the whole amount
taken into the stomach is absorbed,
giving the patient more strength than
can be obtained from other food

One 81 the warrant officers Of the
United States monitor Puritan gives
in a letter to a friend some interesting
observations ON the Puriian's work.
I'VE are all convinced, he writes,
THAT the Puritan, under the proper
circumstances, is the finest fighting
boat in the navy; but she has her re-
strictions. There is no question about
the high defensive qualities of the
monitor type for harbOr work. Our
low ireebOard makes us a small target
for the enemy, aud our l2-inch guns
make us very dangerous To an enemy.
Captain Harrington and Lieutenant
Commander ]. Russell Selfridge have
worked our crew into fine condition,
and there Is no question ~ to the
LOYALTY Of the men or their skill with
the big guns. Our low freeboard,
however, precludes any possibility oil
our coaling at sea with safety, and aS
our coal capacity is comparatively
small, unless lee is afforded, so that
the monitor may open up her deck
scuttles with safety, we must return
to coaling station. Such was tue
case off Matanzas, where there is an
open sea to windward aud no protec-
ton. The Puritan did good work at
Matanzas, as you probably know, and
our guns were very effective. l notice
that some of the newspapers com
mented al the fact that our fire was
slow. That was according to orders
to prevent waste of ammunition. We
didn't want the gun captains to throw
away shots carelessly in their first
brush. Everything on board moved
like clockwork. and our men behaved
splendidly.

Berlin is shuldering at the grue-
some discovery that there is a trade
understanding between professional
nurses and undertakers. Competition
between the latter has raised the regu-
lar commission paid to a nurse to 30
per cent. of the cost of funeral. The
fact that doctor has made this state
of things public, with the suspicion
that the rndertakers may have to
square with that profession also, adds
to the cheerfulness of Berlin patients.

The Pan Handle railway is putting

furnishing a means for facilitating the

has been the custom heretofore. This

telephone is crowding out the tele-
graph, and we may expect many more

WASHINGTON, Nov. .s.-The necessity
for the upbu!lding Of The American ocean
shipping. particularly In the direction Of
fast mail steamers, capable of conversion
Into auxiliary cruisers. Is treated at length
IN the annual report OF Charles Emory
Smith. postmaster general
The report refers al length 10 the service
rendered during the late war by the auxil-
iary cruisers and merchant marine, and
says:
Our recent experience has illustrated
and emphasized the Importance OF this re-
source. and has demonstrated that oue OK
the most effective and economical hulwarks
of naval power IS the possession OF swift
mail steamers. capable OF immediate con-
version Into armed cruisers. In the further
development OF our naval force this factor
cannot fail TO receive consideration. The
advancement OF our commerce requires that
We shall have carrying facilities. A COM
mercial marine Is not only vital 10 COM
mercisi expansion. but IL provides the best
source For the expansion Of the naval force.
which becomes necessary IN time OF war.
From every point OF view II Is thus Z
legitimate object Of governmental concern.
ard the adoption OF practical and reasana-
bic measures within our power for the
promotion Of this object seems 20 be d.ctat-
sd py every CONSIDERATION or PUBIC interest,"
The act of 1895 invested the postmaster
general with authority 10 enter into such
contracts for the carrying u mails on
American steamships as In his Judgment
vii best ssfosegve ard promote the postal
and commercial interests OF the united
States. The first fruits OF this act were
the powerful steamers which, converted
into armed cruisers. rendered such useful
service in the war with Spain. They were
employed in carrying the mails across the
Atlantic and compare favorabsy with the
Atlantic steamers under any flag.
But the act further provides that the
mail service n lines thus created should Ia
equttabiy distributed among the Atlantic,
Mexican Gulf and Pacific ports In ac-
c0rGarce with tais provision, lines have
been established 10 ports IN the Guls OF
Mexico and the steamers recently saunch-
al for this servfca. ard juss now undergo
ing inspection by a naval officer, Will be
available as cruisers should they bo need
ed in a future emergency.
mo lines have thus far been established
under this act on the Pacific and the re-
quiremeni OF an equitable distribution,
which enjoys ATTENTION In that direction, Is
forced and accentuated 10y the recent ex-
pans.on of America interests on that ocean.
Should steps be take TO extend our flag
over American steamships on the Pacific
as IL has hefIl moderately extended on the
Atlantic. such action will no. only comply
with the spirit ana purpose of the exist
ing laws. but It will naturally follow ara
utilize tha opening u American oppor;uu-
ity in that quarter"
