Vasehne spray for catarrh and throat
troubles is new thing to most Of the
members of the medical association, DIR
j w Moore, however, says that as long
as twenty years ago Dr. Rumbold, of 81
/ Louis, discovered the merits OF the treat
ment. He has pursued ticker since For
thirty years DIR Rumbold made u special
study OF nose, throat and ear intamma.
I tions, His conclusions were that the
usual remedies were too strong and
caused too violent reactions. In expert
nlenting with milder methods he finally
took up yaseline and has used it to the
present time With the other remedies
water has been used for cleansing pur-
/ poses.
while water is the best thing for
keeping the outer surface of the body
clean" DR. Moore says, 'it is not the
thing to apply to the mucous membrane
of the nose That membrane absorbs
the water and puts the patient in condi-
tion to catch cold again The way to
clean the nose is to spray it with vase
line. That not only cleans, but it leaves
the membrane protected and the danger
of fresh cold is prevented, Of course
the vaseline must be warmed sufficiently
to melt tits then applied by an atomizer
and that is the new treatment for nose
and throat complaints It seems mild
and simple, and so it is, but It is taking
the place Of the more radical treatment
for catarrhal troubles. y Washington

There is decided novelty about the
idea Of applying magnets to windows to
prevent the rattling Of the sashes, but
this can now be done simply and effect
lively A bar magnet whose two poles
project toward the face Of the sash is
inserted lengthwise in either side Of the
window Fixed rigidlyin the window
frames are rods of iron, and the attrac-
ton between the magnets and the iron
rods prevents the play which is usually
the cause Of rattlng The consequence
is that the sash need no longer be made
to fit so closely that dainpness will cause
it to swell and become difficult to open,
The power exerted between the magnets
and side rods is just enough to effect the
desired object, while not enough to in
terfere with the easy raising or lowering
Of the windows. New York Recorder,

two years before the march to the sea,

now cashier OF the South Bend National

Fred Grether and John X. Lemen, who
were then partners with DIR. Henricks in
the boot and shoe business. Mr.. Grether
says that on that evening General Sherman
and DIR. Henricks were engaged in a game
of chess when all at once DR.. Henricks
said the quickest way to bring the war to q
close and break the backbone of the rebel
lion was to take an army and make march
of destruction from Atlanta through to the
sea. The Doctor said he had studied the
situation carefully; he believed such
move could be made and that
it would end the war. He became
so enthusiastic on the subject that he
called to Mr.. Grether to finish the game of
chess with General Sherman while he DR.
Henricks) made plan of campaign. Mr..
Grether took Dr. Henricks's place at the
chess board and the Doctor called for his
little daughter Julia to get her slate and
atlas. Ina short time he had the plan
ready, and submitted it to General Sher-
man, who listened attentively while the
plan was unfolded to him. Mr. Grether
says General Sherman was greatly I'M
pressed by all that DE-. Henricks said. and
there, was q lengthy discussion. Il am
Mayor Miller and Mr. Kimball will remem-

Henricks and perhaps some of the details

THE GENERALS RELIGION.

Testimony Corroborating the Statements
Made Yesterday by Thomas e. Sherman.
10 the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The question of General Sherman's relig-
ious belief, a matter private to himself and
his family, was most unbecomingly dis
cussed by the press during his mortal i'll
ness. Nor is the matter allowed to rest
even now that he is dead, as witness the
dispatches of last night. The rudeness of
this public meddling in private affairs
might be overlooked were it not that Sec
tartan bias, intolerance and evident hatred
of Catholicity. all un-cbristian and un-
American sentiments, appear to indicate
the animus of those who seem to be troubled
about the issue and who try to shudder at
the idea of General Sherman dying the
recipient of the consultations afforded by
the mother church-the church In which he
was baptized. General Sherman was bap-
tIz.d Catholic. and there is no one who
can successfully deny the fact. The
records will show il, and Sister Anthony. of
Cincinnati. who is familiar with the fact.

about this and kindred topics with the late
Father. Gillispie. of the university. and
Mother Angela, of st. Mary's, the early and
private history and relationships of the
Blaines, the Ewings and the Snermans.
Gen. Sherman's father died when the en-
bryo warrior was about eleven years of age.
He was adopted by Judge Ewing, of Lam
caster. o.. whose family was first among
the Catholics of that State. Rather than
have young Sherman remain an unbelever

the Catechism, and having long since at

motion and choice. after being SO in
structed, he was baptized a Catholic. He
was preparing for his first holy communion
when a cadetship appointment to West
Point Military Academy was procured for
him by his benefactor, Judge Ewing. He
went to West Point but not having oppor-
tunitles for the practice of his religion, he
naturally grew lukewarm. but when. after
his graduation. several years later, he mar

justice TO the memory of General Sherman

reference need but be made to what took
place, / think. about the spring of
1862. President Lincoln had relieved
General Sherman OF his command
In Kentucky on the trumped-up charge
of his being of unsound mind; and one or
the proofs privately alleged was his de-
claring that it would require an army of
100000 men to keep Kentucky in the Union,
statement which afterwards proved TO
be true. Mrs. Sherman did not believe her
husband was deranged, and she set about
to take place on his arrival home The
morning of his return. while at the break
fast table, he saw in the morning paper the
charge that he was removed because OF
wife, pointing TO the paragraph. how can
be present at or encourage this demon
stration that you have spoken OFT"
Just to prove to them. and through
them to the whole country, that YOU are
not crazy" said his wife.
General Sherman attended the demon
stration in his honor and received an
ovation. and the next day his devoted
.Catbollc wife was on her way to Washing
ton with proofs jrrefragable that her hus-
band was not crazy man. She laid the
case before the kind-hearted Lincoln, and
as result General Sherman was restored
to his command.
Now, with the knowledge that we have
OF the life and manner of the dead General,
and of his acquaintance with the truths of
the Catholic faith and the kindly influence
of Catholics exercised in his behalf, does it
stand to reason that be should be as de-
cldedly anti Catholic as he is represented to
bef On the contrary, he always re-
spected the Catholic Church and its minis
ters, and on more than on occasion declared
that if there was anything in Christianity
1t was to be found in the Catholic Church.
The following anecdote will illustrate this:
After the fall of Atlanta two non-Catholic
chaplains were summoned before the Cen
eral, charged with appropriating two fine
horses and sending them North for their own
use. mild way for saying they were horse
thieves. In his own outspoken way Gen.
Sherman demanded by what authority
they were chaplains. when one of them re-
piled: ''By what authority are your Cath
Ollie priests chaplainsfr To this General
Sherman responded: by the authority of
Jesus Christ. damn you. SIR" This is
vouched for by those who were present.
and the proof can be given by the chaplain
at-large of the Indiana troops in the field.
These things show that General Sherman
always regarded the Catholic Church as
the true depositary of faith, as the seat of
divine authority on earth. And although
human respect made him q sort of spiritual
laggard. his heart and his mind were ever
right He belonged to the soul of the Cath
Ole Church. : M. w. CARR
