banana in n New Role.

The banana now appears in a new
role, this time as the best food posi-
BILE for typhoid patient. The dis
covery halls from st. Louis, and the
discoverer. DR.. Ussery, gives this ex-
planation for his faith in the banana:
In typhoid fever, the lining membrane
of the small intestines becomes in
tensely inflamed and engorged, having
a tendency to slough away in spots,
leaving ulcers Of all sizes and condi-
tions, liable at any moment to perfor-
ate the intestines. This being the
case, solid or irritating foods should
be avoided as extremely dangerous.
The banana, however, though excep-
tionally nutritious, containing some So
per cent. of nutrition, which is at once
absorbed, possesses scarcely any waste

Commander Sigslee of the ill-fated
cruiser was born in Albany, N. y, and
educated at the All any Academy. lie
was appointed to the United States
Naval Academy in 1859 by Erastus
Corning, first, then congressman from
this district. He vas graduated from
that institution in 1863 and was i'm
mediately detailed into active service
as ensign aboard the Metacomet,
which engaged in the naval operations
that ended in the capture of Mobile.
That event was ore of the most de-
clsive in the civil war. There were al
so in that engagement two other AL
banians, Ira Harris, now OF Cleveland,
the son OF the former United States
Senator Ira Harris, and Clarence
Rathbone, who still resides in this
city. Young Sigsbee was then known
es Dutch" a fitting sobriquet con-
sidering the old Dutch town of his
birthplace. Sigsbee's ship, the Meta
comet, was commanded by Capt. Jan
EFT.
Commander Sigsbee is we'll remem-
bered in the chronicles of naval SER
vice for his work on the coast sur
yey. He is one OF the bravest and
most discreet officers in the navy. He
is man who is known to be what is
called remarkably level headed" and
those who know him best will be the
last to believe that such carelessncss
as an explosion aboard ship would
indicate could occur On any vessel un-
der his command.
A signal instance of his decision of
character in emergencies was shown
on the East River last summer. The
Maine had left the Brooklyn navy
yard and was proceeding down stream
on her way to sea. The river was
crowded with craft of all kinds, and
| by one Of those singular accidents
which occur on crowded streams and
against which no provision seems to
avail, an excursion steamer and q
huge freight float got in the Names
way. A collision seemed to be in
syitable, and what the result would

war but brushed the crowded excur-
sion boat can easily be imagined

Vogue of Gun Metal.

Gun metal and enameled steel are
made into articles OF different kinds
which are now having a great vogue
in that indefinite place known as the
"other side" They are made in Aus
tria, and have not been here year
yet. The gun metal is presumably
what Its name implies, but artificially
rusted That Is what the expert says,
though the dark surface does not give
that impression. 1t is very attractive,
set with jewels, and is rather more
expensive than silver. In these days
of bicycles and rumors of women ci-
garette smokers, matchboxes for wo-
men are quite the thing. but hatpins.
belt buckles, and the like, with many
pretty articles Of bric-a-brac, come in
very pretty specimens in the two met
ais. The enameled steel has a dark
steel color, smooth and highly polish
ed surface, and is sometimes cut, as
with little stars, which are gilded and
make very pretty effect. Both met
ais have peculiar style of their own.

His Tomb a living Tree.

Lumbermen cut down large oak
tree on the Baker farm, near Dun
kirk, Ohio, that had probably been
standing for over 100 years. They dis
covered. after the tree was down. that
1t was hollow, and they cut several
feet off the end. They had not gone
far until they came across the skele-
ton OF human being. From the
growth Of the tree 1t is apparent that
this man. who is supposed to have
been an Indian. had crawled into this
tree st least seventy-fiye years ago
and had died. the tree having grown
over him. The bones were in a good
state Of preservation.

Alrthe Family craxed by Riches.

Michael Ringrose, wealthy farmer
who went from Iowa to Louisiana
three years ago. went insane with his
entire family and was captured by the
police after a desperate battle, in
which several of the officers and Ring
rose were injured.
The Ringrose farm is one of the
finest in the State. Ringrose inherited
a fortune from a brother in New
York, and the sudden acquisition Of
wealth unsettled his mind. He began
by giving away rolls of money and
ended by opening fire with couple of
rifles on all who went near him, The
Sheriff attempted to arrest him yes
terday. Ringrose defended himself
with two rifles and was assisted by
his wife and two daughters, who used
bricks and stones. The officers finally
captured Ringrose, but not Until they
had wounded him in the shoulder and
knocked him over the head with a
pistol. 1t is asserted that the entire
family Is insane.

Among the cars which were wreck
ed near Del Rio, Texas. on ths, South
ern Pacific, were five loaded with CAL
ifoinia wine, in cases and barrels.
These FIVE cars were smashed into
pieces, and the unbroken and broken
bottles and barrels Of wine were scat
tered over the right of way for con-
siderable distance. Advices reached
San Antonio from the scene of the ec-
cident that fully 200 tramps quickly
scented the wine, and held high revel-
ry at that place for several days. No
restrictions were placed on their Or

ordered Clapp to take seat. To this
Clapp retorted by requesting Parr to
adjourn court for two minutes so that
the Judge and lawyer might be on the
same footing. TO the surprise Of the
spectators Justice Parr immediately
adjourned court and, selling an iron
poker, assailed Clapp. The two men
exchanged blows, but were separated
before serious injury could be In
fllcted by either. Clapp was led from
the room and Justice Parr returned to
the bench, called court to order, and
proceeded with the trial.

used salmon stcek Cor riclserel palt.

Within the past Two years the State
of Maine has placed more than 50,-
600 landlocked salmon fry in Bremer's
and Fields ponds, two large sheets OF
water near Bangor. This winter the
fishermen have been taking large
quantities of plckerel from these
ponds, using live bait, which the fish
seemed greedy to get. On Sunday q
warden was sent out to see that the
law was observed, and found about
twenty fishermen, every one of whom
had his hooks baited with young sal
mon, which were dipped from the
shoal places and blowholes on the
borders of the ponds. The matter has
been brought to the attention of the
Fish and Game Commission, who will
no doubt close the ponds for five years
Until the young fry have grown up, as
the State can hardly afford to grow
young salmon for pickerel bait. The
practice of Using fish from the hatch
cries for bait is said to prevail all
over Maine, particularly in ponds that
have been newly stocked.

a forest OF perfectly plain columns
standing close together and filing in
an immense circle-as large as the
rotunda above--the columns support
ing a network of interlacing arches.
The intersecting arches make sharp
angles, though the swell Of each arch
Is full and round. The vaulted CELL

republican members in the house Of

one should follow the other at the helm

constantly increased. Abroad, in South

Amputations After a Tarantula Rite

Amputations AFTER q TnraMtula Rite.
James Hemmingway, an M X. and
7. brakeman, has just been discharg-
ed from the companys hospital at Sc
dalia, Mo-, after four months treat
ment for a tarantula bite. On the
night of Sept 9, Hemingway touched
a tarantula and was bitten ON the
tip of the middle finger of the right
hand. He felt sharp pang of pain
at the time, but paid little attention
to it, and went on with his work.
The bitten finger began to slough
off. The hand and arm became filled
with pus and were swollen to three
times their natural size. Hemming-
way was sent to the Sedalla Railway
Hospital for treatment. where the fin
ger was amputated at the first joint.
Finding the wound would not heal,
the surgeon cut the finger again, fin
ally making twenty-nine amputations
of the member. The final operation
was performed nearly two months
ago, the hand being split from the
knuckle of the middle finger to the
wrist and the bones taken out of the
knuckle to the wrist
For long time Hemmingway's life
was despaired of, the poison of the
spider bite being SO thoroughly in
fused into his system that it was al
most impossible to overcome it, and
his finally recovery is considered al
most miracle.

Art and Mystery of Driving n Hog.

The difficulty of driving a single hog
was well illustrated at Lynchburg,
Va, recently, at about train time.
Some men were driving a herd of
swine to Amherst, and as they ap-
preached the bridge one Of the ami
mails became obstreperous and bolted
toward the city, becoming thereby
separated from the rest Of the drove.
The three or four men, assisted by
volunteers, placed themselves between
the city and the rebellious hog in a
semi-circle, while one of their number
advanced cautiously and began to
tickle the hogs nose with a pine
brush. This would make the animal
turn round, and each time he did so
he would move few steps toward
the bridge and the rest Of the drove.
The manoeuvres were watched with
a great deal OF interest by a large
crowd Of spectators, and when finally
the wayward one returned to the bo-
som of the drove, very audible MUIR
muir of admiration went Up from the
crowd

Acme of Inc smpctence.

Mrs. Hiram Constant usually had
two servants. Perl apps it would be bet
ter to state that Mrs. Hiram Constant
usually thought she had two servants,
for when she left home and servants
she never knew how many would be
there when she returned. There might
be two servants and the linen and the
spoons, or there might be one servant,
part of the linen and some of the
spoons,
When at home Mrs. Hiram Constant
knew she had two servants. They kept
her busy days, and nights she lay
awake evolving plans of campaign for
the suDjugation of Ireland, Germany,
Sweden or Darkest Africa. She talked
about her servants almost constantly.
