MANY USES FOR SALT.

For weak eyes, a wash of weak salt
and water will prove of much benefit.
SALT and water, quite strong, and
used persistently for a time, will pre-
vent the hair from falling out.
A TEAsPoONFUL of salt dissolved in
one-half glassful of water is excellent
to allay nausea in sick-headaches.
To relieve heart burn drink a half
tumblerful of cold water in which has
been dissolved tablespoonful Of salt.
SALT as tooth-powder is better than
almost any other dentifrice. 1t keeps
the teeth very white, the gums hard and
rosy, and breath fresh.
IF the throat is very sore, wiring
cloth out of cold salt and water, and
bind it on the throat tightly when GO
| ing to bed; cover it with dry towel.
This is excellent.
For neuralgia make a small muslin
! bag. fill it with salt, heat it very hot
and lay it against the aching place. 1t
will prove a great relief, as salt retains
/ the heat long time.
| IL ink is spilled on the carpet, throw
quantity of salt on it, which will
quickly absorb the ink; take this up
and put on more salt. Keep repeating
this, rubbing it we'll into the ink spot,
until the ink is all taken up by the salt;
then brush the salt out Of the carpet.

THE LATE GEN. SHERMAN.

SHERMAN received the degree of LII
from Harvard, Yale, Princeton and
Dartmouth.
SHERMAN was as light sleeper when
in the field as the great Napoleon. He
rarely took more than five hours of
rest when the enemy was near by.
SHERMAN was so overwhelmed with
social engagements that on one Occa-
sion, taking out his engagement book,
he gave friend an evening six weeks
in advance.
GEN. SHERMAN had four daughters.
The eldest, Eleanor, is the wife of
Lieut.. Thackara, of the United States
navy, and another is the wife of Mr.. T.
w. Fitch, of Pittsburgh. The two
younger daughters, Lizzie and Rachel,
are unmarried.
GEN. SHERMAN used to tell that while
travelling in Ireland he was once ser
enaded by local band in Cork, To his
surprise and delight the musicians
played 'Marching Through Georgia
| He inquired where they had heard the
tune, and was further surprised to hear
that it was q very old Irish air, the orr
gin of which was lost in the mists o.
| antiquity.
