CONDITIONS NOW AND IN 1865
According to General sherman's
Memoirs, History Seems to 30
Merely Repeating Itself.

A single page in the story Of the
Civil war, the Memoirs of General
Sherman, carries observations by two
Ohio men prominent in that war, Cen
eral Sherman himself and Secretary
Of War Stanton, that have strange
ly familiar sound now amid the dis.
tressing conditions that have followed
the World war here.
General Sherman has arrived with
his story at the opening of the year
1855, and he is dealing with the clos
ing events Of the Civil war. He is
at Savannah and the secretary of war
is there, partly on an official visit and
partly for recreation. The policy of
enlisting slaves is under discussion
and the order giving the freed slaves
the right to occupy seized lands is
agreed on.
HE protested to have come from
Washington for rest and recreation"
writes General Sherman, "and he
spoke unreservedly of the chickering's
and jealousies at the national capital,
Of the interminable quarrels Of the
state governors about their quotas
and more particularly u the very ex-
istence Of the government itself.
HE said that the price of every
thing had so risen in comparison with
the deprecated money that there was
danger of national bankruptcy, and he
appealed to me, as a soldier and pa
triot, to hurry up matters so as to
bring the war to a close.
II was quite impatient to get off,
myself, for city life had become dnll
and tame, and we were all anxious to
get into the pine woods again, free
from the opportunities of Southern
women asking for protection, and of
civilians from the North who were
coming to Savannah for cotton and
all sorts Of profit
High prices, WEAKNESS OF the war
conditions, eagerness on all sides for
the return of peace. swarms of people
at Washington-officia and private
citizens, with axes to grind, and spec
ulators from the North pushing right
down to the hostile lines In promoting
their profiteering enterprises. But We
came through it.-Columbus Dispatch,

Have You Euphoria7

Il takes a doctor to give a high
sounding name to q well-known phe-
no;aeror. "Euphoria" means feeling
fit" 1t IS as much a physiological
fact as scarlet fever.
Nature makes it worth While to be
alive simply through euphoria. The
Joy Of making a good tennis stroke,
the delight that a woodsman gets In
the open air. the artists rhapsody-all
are due to euphoria. Why do we drink
alcohol-when we can get it-or
smoke tobacco? To effect euphoria.
When q Iunatic thinks that he is
Napoleon and demands the homage
due an emperor, he has euphoris In
its worst form.
Too little is known about euphoria.
Since it can be effected by drugs and
chemicals. who knows but it may have
its seat in some gland?-Popular

Cured by Gold injections.

The very latest postwar discovery
means Of injections of diluted gold,
This very expensive method Of restor-
Ing lost health was discovered by
French doctor. who has completely
cured a wealthy Partisan of q complaint
similar to shell-shock. Although gold
is very scarce at present, q limited
supply Is available for medicinal pur-
poses, The price for one injection Of
good quality gold sometimes reaches
the f1fty-pound mark. while in one or
two exceptional cases gold injections
have cost over hundred pounds each.
Consequently. only very rich persons
can at present undergo this gold
treatment, which has been successful
In rescuing several cases Of complete
nervous breakdown. It should be re-
membered, however, that the gold IT.
self Is Of no great value as a tonic.
The idea In making the injections IS
to liven up the patient and prevent
him or her from breeding too serious
". This done, doctors believe that
half the battle is won. Strange to
say, the injections are not made
through the usual type Of syringe, but
generally through onica'-shaped
tube Of pure platinum costing over
twelve hundred dollars.

NAP0LE0N's ONE BIG QUALITY
0rsat Frenchman's Fascination Lay In
His Directness, That's All,
Says n. G. Wells.

The world has largely recovered
from the mischief that Napoleon did;
perhaps that amount of mischief had
to be done by some agency; perhaps
his career, or some such career, was
necessary consequence Of the worlds
mental unpreparedness for the crisis
OF the revolution. But that his pc
sQliar personality should dominate the
A6aslnations Of great numbers of peo-
pie, throws light upon factors Of en-
during significance in our human
problem.
Marat was far more noble, per-
sfstent, subtle and pathetic figure;
Talleyrand greater statesman and
much more amusing personality;
Moreau and Hoch ADLER leaders Of
armies; his rival, Gar Alexander, as
egotistical, more successful, more emo
tional, and with a finer Imagination.
Are men dazzled simply by the scale
Of his f1ounderings by the mere vast
ness Of his notoriety?
No doubt scale has something to do
with the matter; he was a record"
the record plunger; but there Is
something more in it than that. There
is an appeal in Napoleon to something
deeper and more fundamental in hui
man nature than mere establishment at
bigness. His very deficiencies bring
out starkly certain qualities that lurk
suppressed and hidden in us all. He
was unhampered. He had never a
CLEAN Of religion, or affection, or the
sense of duty.
Directness was his distinctive and
immortalizing quality. He had no
brains to waste in secondary consider
ations. He flung his armies across
Europe straight at their mark, there
never were such marches before; he
fought to win; when he struck, he
struck with all his might, And what
he wanted, he wanted simply and COM
pletely and got-if he could.
There lies his fascination.-From
"The Outline Of History" by II. G.
Wells.

One Against the Archbishop.

Mr.. E. F, Benson, the English novel

father, the archbishop OF Canter-

The archbishop was loving but

times nodded. He certainly did so
one hot Sunday afternoon when Mr.
Benson was deputed to read the life
of st. Francis to him and the assem-
bled family in the garden.

GARRICK-'The Wandering Jew.

THE Wandering Jew" a two-reel

night at the Shubert-G preced-
ed by q program OF Hebraic music by
a special orchestra and two vocal
numbers, eli! Eli" and the national
anthem of the Hebrews, "Hatikvah."
The picture portrays the trials and
sufferings, the expressions and ostra-
cism which have fallen to the lot of
the Jews in many parts of the world.
An aged patriarch has a series of vi
sions. and then the story is picked up
and centered about the life of mod
ern Jew. Theodor Herzl. who is con-
sidered the founder of .he Zionist
movement. The picture depicts his
awakening to the understanding of
the cause and of the great yearning
Of his race.
Rudolph and Joseph Shildkraut di-
vide the stellar honors in the picture,
whose appeal evidently is directed to
the Jewish heart. The plot finds its
motive in the cause which 1t espouses
rather than in an interesting story.
Considered from the point of view
of it's intention. it is successful. The
story Is that of an oppressed people,
yearning for their native land and In
dependence. All through there runs
the sad strains of the Hebraic music.
