CARDINAL GIBBONS, APPEAL.
Catholic Pastors Asked to Aid the FamI
Sufferers In Ireland.

Catholic Pastors Asked to Aid the Famine
Sufferers In Ireland.
By direction of Cardinal Gibbons, Rev. P. ].
Donahue, chancellor of the archdiocese of Bal
timore, has sent out circular letter to all the
pastors of Catholic churches in the archdio-
cese asking help for the famine sufferers in
Ireland. The letter says:
From letters received by Cardinal Gibbons
from several Of the right reverend prelates and
from others of the highest credit in Ireland,
there is no longer room for doubt that distress.
verging upon famine, exists at the present
time in parts of that unhappy land. These
communications not only set forth the urgency
Of the case, but call in earnest words for help.
II is an appeal to which those blessed with
wealth or even ordinary or scant means should
not turn deaf ear. A people whom Almighty
God in his providence has for centuries tried
III the fires OF tribulatiOn. now. in this last
added distress, cry out to their brethren
throughout the world for bread.
1T is confidently hoped that a liberal re-
spouse will be made to this appeal Of suffer-
ing nation. To this end the cardinal ear
nestly exhorts you, reverend dear father, to
bring this matter before your congregation
and excite their generosity toward their suffer-
ing brethren In Christ, inviting them at the
same time to make offerings toward q relief
fund. These sums you will have the goodness
to remit to the chancellor at as early u date as
practicable.
"You may. in your discretion supplement
these personal offerings by the proceeds of Ell
tertainments or festivals. or by such other
meanssls yonr sound judgement and charity
shall suggest.

WHAT AN INDIAN CAN STAND.
The Heroic Treatment Used With q Hal
Frozen Red Man.

Frozen Red Man.
From the Detroit Free Press.
To show what an Indian can stand when he
has to may tell Of an incident which hap
pened during the winter I was with them. To-
ward evening on a very cold winter day. when
it was showing just little and drifting great
deal, an Indian came to the log house with Jug
half full of whisky and with his rifle. Imagine
that the jug had been entirely full of whisky
when he started, and by the time he got to the
house he was in a rather jolly condition. The
jug and the rifle were taken away from him,
and he was ordered to get to his wigwam as
quick as he could before darkness came on He
left and was supposed to have gone to the
camp, but early mex. morning his squaw APP
peared at the house and said he had not come
home that night, and as the nigh; was cold she
had been anxious about him. Then the search
for the lost Indian began.
He was found in one Of the sheds near the
barn under a heap Of drifted snow, and the
chances are that the snow that was above him
had helped to save his life. The searchers for
the Indian had gone in different directions, and
it was his own squaw who, with true Indian
instinct, had tracked him out, and she was
alone when she found him. Apparently the
Indian was frozen corpse. She tumbled him
out of the snow bank and pulled off his blankets
and dragged him down to the creek, where a
deep hole was cut in the ice for the purpose of
watering the cattle. Laying the Indian out on
the snow she took the pan that was beside the
hole, and, filling it repeatedly, dashed pailful
after pailful of ice water over the body of the
Indian. BY the time the other unsuccessful
searchers had returned she had her old man
thawed OUT and seated by the fire wrapped in
blankets There is no question that if he had
been found by the others and had been taken
in the house frozen as lie was he would have
died

forms of distilled spirits is stated to amount to
l0,916.Si2 proof gallons. Previous estimates

amount at from four to six million proof gall

HOW TO MAKE A SQUEEZE.
Not Of Young Lady, but Of q Carving o
Inscription.

Not OF q Young Lady, but Of q Carving or
Inscription.
The science of making squeezes during the
past few weeks has absorbed some attention on
the part of the army and navy commissioners
to the Southern American republics. who have
been obtaining instruction on this and other
subjects at the National Museum preparatory
20 departure for the scenes of their labors in
behalf Of the worlds fair at Chicago.
To show them how to do it the Smithsonian
experts had them make in proper fashion
squeezes of bas-reliefs and inscriptions in stone
on sarcOphagi and other antiques First. they
were taught to moisten the surface of which a
likeness was to be taken with plain water. after
which sheet of tough tissue paper was laid
over and smacked lightly into every curve and
crevice with a stiff brush, so that the moist pa
per took perfectly the form of the inscription
or bas-relief. Next thin flour paste was spread
over the adherent tissue paper and over this q
sheet of blotting paper, thoroughly wet, was
laid. Once more with the brush tie blotting
paper was gently pounded until it took the
shape as perfectly as possible Of what was be-
meath. Finally it was left to dry partially, and
some hours later the whole mask was removed,
including the blotting paper and the tissue pa
per to which it was pasted. an exact mold of
the original being thus obtained.
The young army and navy commissioners
expect to take great many of such queeZes of
carvings and the like, mostly ancient, in
Mexico. Central America and South America.
They will reproduce all such as they find desira-
BILE in this manner, and will send the saueezes
thus obtained back to this country packed in
sawdust All that will have To be done is to
pour plaster of paris into the squeezes in order
to reproduce the originals with absolute accu-
racy. 1t is worth while for any one to remem-
Der how this very simple process is performed
in order that should there be occasion one may
be able to obtain copies off hand of any inter-
esting writing or carving in stone.

FATAL AGE OF SIXTY-THREE.
Few Of the Great Generals OF the War Have
Lived Beyond 1t.

Few Of the Great Generals OF the War Have
Lived Beyond 1t.
From the Chicago journal.
The recent death of Gen. Alfred H. Terry at
the age of sixty-three recalls the fact that
hardly any of the great generals of the war
passed the fatal age at which Gen. Terry died.
The years of their lives between ffty-four and
sixty-three have proved fatal to at least fifteen
or twenty of the mer whose names are fore
most in the history of the war. Among those
readily named who failed to advance many
years into what may be called old age were
Grant, Sheridan, Thomas, Logan, Halleck, Nc
Clellan, Hooker, Meade, Burnside, Curtis
Frank Blair and many of, perhaps, lesser note
The great responsibilities borne by the COM
manding officers in war, the narrowing
anxieties by which they were beset in its great
emergencies, the mental strain under which
great nlanoeuvers were executed and great
battles fought, days OF constant activity and
nights without sleep, were sufficient to impair
the strongest constitutions and to plant the
seeds of disease which resulted in a compare
lively early death. Many of the great leaders
named had original powers Of endurance and
physical vigor, with an apparent strength of
vitality which should have insured them q
length Of days surprising the period allotted
by the Psalmist to the life of man. The years
by which their lives were lessened in conse-
quence Of the HARDSHIP pa of war are part of the
sacrifice which they laid ON the altar of patriot
ism.
Those instances. showing the extent to which
war shortened the lives Of the great leaders,
may lead to another ouclusion-consolatio to
the minds made uneasy by the increase in the
pension disbursements. 1t is not to be sup
posed that the lives Of the private soldiers on
the average will extend greatly in length be-
yond those Of the army commanders. Asoldier
now under fifty years must have enlisted at an
early age. 1t is probable that the most of those
now drawing pensions, especially from disease
contracted IN the war, have passed their half
century. Anew years more win zee their names
erased from the pension rolls by the hand Of
death.
Gen. Sherman, the glorious old hero. is an
illustrious exception to the apparent decree Of
Providence that the great generals Of the war
should not reach, or should not long survive.
their sixtieth year. Past the age Of seventy he
is the sole survivor of those who led our armies
