General Sherman in the Field.

Sherman's habits during his CAM
paigns were of the simplest. He rose
early in the morning, and was up late
at night. In the face of the enemy, five
hours sleep sufficed him. Before the
reveille sounded, he wss often in the
saddle and out on the most exposed
parts of his line. The orders were
always to arouse him at any hour of the
night, if reports came in. During the
Atlanta campaign, he set the example
to his troops of describing tents and re-
ducing baggage to minimum. There
was but one tent attached to his head
quarters, and that was used by his
Adjutant- General, and his clerks. With
his staff he slept on the ground under q
tent fly, which was stretched at night
over a pole, resting in the crotchet Of
some convenient saplings. 1t used to
be said that his headquarters were in
candle-box, because one or two small
boxes, emptied of the candles they
originally had contained, served to tran
sport his papers, The soldiers called
him cold Tecums" and uncle Billy, !"
the latter nick name coming into gem
eral use in the army during the March
to the Sea-" At his headquarters, a
single sentry stood guard; but nobody,
whether officer or private soldier, who
wanted to speak to the General, was
stopped. He always had a cordial and
encouraging word for the soldiers when
he rode along the lines in front of the
enemy, or nessed marching column.
For the details of military etiquette and
ceremony, he had cared nothing; but
for steadiness in action and endurance
in hard marching, he had quick eye
and a ready word of praise. He was
usually communicative and out-spoken,
unless his plans demanded secrecy.
Sometimes his frankness deceived the
enemy more than concealment would
have done.

The Washington Star says: The feeling Of
antagonism for it amounts to that between the
house and senate, seems to increase rather
than diminish. Ithas reached degree in which
Tarty sentiment and affiliations are sunk in
the opposition of one house to the other Dem
condemnng the senate for what they term a
disposition TO usurp the entire legislative
functions of congress. So prominent repre-
sentative as Holman said recently that under
the encroachments of the senate the constihl-
tional method of Legislation was being gradual
ly reversed. Said he: ''Half the revenue bills
now come from the senate, whereas all OF them
should originate in the house" Another repre-
sentative sitting by, SAID: yes The senate
wants to boss everything. The senators, IN
order to keep themselves place and power,
are trying 10 run rough. shod over the house
Among the senator's the opinion seems unani-
nous that the house is arbitrary and Dictator
ial, and unless the senate shall stand firm in
the assertion of its rights, 1T might as well, 2
as one senator recently put il, "he content 10
to sit here and pass only such bills as the house
chooses to send over. This feeling does not
auger well for the amicabie settlement of the
disputed naval appropriation Close friends Of
Randall openly declare il TO his purpose to
maintain the stand he has taken on that sub
ject even thought may result in failure to ap-
pirate for the present needs of the navy On
the house side the prediction is freely made
that the senate Will back down as il did on
the naval bill last session.

When to Begin Going to School

DIR. jacob, who has made this spe-
cial study, concludes that, as a rule,
child should not be sent to school be-
fore he is eight years old. Not till this
age is its brain substance sufficiently de-
veloped. An infants brain Is soft. 1t
contains large percentage of water.
It is deficient in fat and phosphorus, on
which, to great extent, intellectual ac-
tivfty depends. The convolutions are
fewer. The different parts of the brain
do not grow in size and weight alike
the normal proportion of the front,
back and lateral portions not being
reached before the age of ten. So, too,
the normal proper ton of the chest to
the lower portions of the body is not at
tanned until the eighth year, while that
part of the back (the lumbar) on which
the sitting posture mainly depends is
even then only moderately developed.
About the fifth or sixth years the base
of the brain grows rapidly, the frontal
bones extend forward and upward and
the anterior portion grows considerably.
Still the white substance-the gray Is
the basis of intelligence-and the large
ganglia preponderate. 1t is not until
about the eight year that the due pro-
portion of parts is reached, and q GER
tain consolidation, both of the brain and
the organs of the body generally. Be
fore this period memory alone can be
safely trained.

GENTLE WORDS.

Gentle words, o, gentle words,
How We linger in the mind,
Like the songs of happy birds,
Floating on the summer wind;
Like the peal of merry bells,
Heard across some sunny plain,
Der the brooks and thro' the dells
Lofty, sweet, then loud again
Chorus:
Gentle words, o, gentle words,
How We lnger in the mind,
Like the song Of happy birds,
Floating on the summer wind.
Gentle words, o, gentle words,
Ye are powers sent to bless;
Richer gems than diadems,
Treasures that we all possess;
Ye are tones from brighter spheres,
Angel voices soothing pain,
Thrilling echoes that for years
In the heart resound again.
