Gen. Sherman Happy Man.
By CARL SCUURZ.

When Gen. Sherman heard that he
was considered as a possible candidate
for the Presidency, writes Carl Schurz
in the November McClure'S. he burst
into a temper. WHAT" said he. DO
they think am damned fool? ]
am a happy man now"
when he called himself a happy
man there was a tone of just exulta.
ton in his words. He was, indeed. a
Happy man. He had won great re.
nown as q soldier and an immense pop.
ularity all over the Northern country
This he knew, and he thoroughly rel.
ished it. All sorts of societies and
public organizations made him their
honorary member, and he appeared
among them as often as he could
Whenever he entered theater, which
he did very often, the orchestra would
strike up Marching Through Georgia;
the whole audience would rise and
clap their hands, sometimes even sing
ing the tune, and his rugged face
would fairly glow and beam with pleas,
ure. Every social circle greeted him
as most welcome guest. and at recep'
tions and evening parties and other
gatherings the pretty girls would
come up and kiss him-and how he
did enjoy all this!"

Two Remarkable Tropical Birds.


Two curiOusly remarkable birds are
the Umbrella bird and the Bell bird.
says the Commercial Tribune. The for
mer is found along the upper Amazon
River and has It's home in the highest
tree tops. Its food consists of wild
fruits and berries. 1t derives it's
name from peculiar headdress in the
shape of large, flat-topped, slightly
dropping crest of soft feathers that
completely shade its face From it's
throat long lappet of feathers drops
nearly to it's feet
The Bell bird, whose name doubtless
arises from its bell-like note (thOugh
some say its note sounds strangely like
the sound of blacksmith's hammer
ON the anvil. sharp and ringing clear)
is a most interesting bird to study
There are four species Of the Bell bird,
three of which have snOw-white feath-
cred males with naked faces Of a vivid
color. A curious fristle growth. or
formation. thinly covered with feathers
hangs from the birds forehead, and
during times of excitement this pendu-
lous growth rises stiffiy erect.

When Hayes Was a Student.

While Rutherford B. Hayes was a
a college student he went out walking
one day with two of his ''chums," and,
happening to meet an old farmer COM
ing along the road they determined to
have some fund at the old fellows ex-
pense Accordingly. as they approached
him, the future President addressed
him in this manner:
Good morning. Father Isaac."
Then his two friends spoke to the
old tiller of the soil, one calling him
Father Abraham and the other Father
Jacob. With a sober face the old agri-
culturist locke up, and in a solemn
voice said:
Gentlemen. you are mistaken: am
neither Abraham, Isaac nor Jacob. but
Saul, the son of Kish. who was sent
out to find his fathers asses, and 10!

"For the Stomach"


There is nearly always, with thin
people, an excess of acid in the stom-
ach and blood, and this should be
washed out with alkaline hot drinks.
A domestic remedy for dyspepsia,
recommended by some Of our best ply
sicians, is made by pouring quart Of
boiling water on half a pint of clean
hardwood ashes. adding a tablespoon
full of wood SCOT, well stirred and left
to stand over night. In the morning
bottle the clear liquid, and after meals.
when acidity is felt. add a tablespoon
full of this to a glass OF hot water. and
sip it from a spoon, as hot as can be
comfortably used. Wood SCOT contains
potash. lime and magnesia. ammonia
and creosote. and Is a valuable medi-
cine.
Liquid magnesia, or nibbling dry
magnesia, drinking a point of hot
water five minutes after, Is good. Or.
the hot water alone may be taken, with
great benefit. Quantities OF water. the
temperature that is most comfortable
to the stomach. but hot enough to
stimulate the stomach. is good treat
ment. 1t is recommended to take the
water directly from the boiling tea
kettle, slipping it slowly with spoon.
thus losing as little Of the heat as pos
sible.
Very cold drinks should not be in

drings be avoided in cases of chronic
constipation. or when the cold water
lies like lead" in the stomach for
some time after drinking 1t. 1t Is
better to drink plenty of water than
too little. Many people - especially
women, boast that they drink no liq-
uds except at the table. and do not
know what 1t is to be thirsty. Drinks
should be LET alone at the table. but
/ freely taken between meals. and the

Lincoln to Mcclellan.

President Lincoln once wrote the fol.
lowing letter to General Mcclellan
when the latter was in command of
the army. General Mcclellan, as is
we'll known. was so careful not to
make mistakes that he made little
headway:
My Dear McClellan:

should like to borrow It for awhile.

Smooth" Ice Cream.

An authority on the making of ices
says that the chief secrets of smooth
ice cream is fine ice and right guam
tity of salt. Shave ice so that it
gets in close to the can and does not
leave vacuum. Put in about an
inch layer OF ice, then a half inch of
salt and repeat. Be careful to put
no salt above the third h OOp of the
ordinary freezer Turn for about
seven minutes at a med ium speed.
At the end of that time the cream is
usually thick enough to remove the
paddle. Put back the cover, make it
alright with cork, pack over with
fine shaved ice and let the cream
stand for at least an hour to ripen.

Seat Sale For "Faust..

The sale of seats for Morrison's s Faust" which opened at the Elks Theatre Dec p has been very large. All indications point to an attendance that will break all records for mem- bers in local theatrical circles That this should prove so it not at all surprising, for it must be remembered that Faust" as a love story and as a stage entertainment is in a class by itself-No play of recent years can compare with this grand old classic for romantic environment or tell a story that Is more interesting to the general public. The cast of players seen in the production the present season is tar above the average of travelling companies, and all reports agree that Faust" has never been better acted or more superbly mount ed than the present season.
