said the officers, "and could not have es

New York, Feb. 14. A report pub
lished in The New York Times reflect
ivig on the conduct of the members of
C-!eu. Sherman's familj in calling in a
prieit to administer the extreme unc
tion, has called for a great many com
ments in connection with the religions
belief entertained by the Gener al and
hi.i family, 'i here is no doubt that the
ceremony was performed on Thursday,
about 11 o'clock in the forenoon. It
was so stated by a priest, admitted by
the son, P. T. Sherman, and the Gen
eral's son-in-law, Mr. Fitch auirmed the
report. A confirmation is also found in
a letter to The New York Times, writ
ten by Senator Sherman. The members
of the family have resented the report
published in this journal as an tittack
upon them and their aged father, now
so low. Young Mr. Sherman openly
denounced the article as a slander. The
article in question was to the effect that
the sacraiiient of the extreme unction
had been administered to the General
while in an unconscious stole, inferring,
therefore, that it was without his per
taission, Many other inferences might
have been drawn from the article disa
greeable to the family. The members
of the family did not care to enter into
the particulars of the services performed
at the bedside of the Genera, or state
what priest officiated. It was a family
alfair, and they wished it to remain as
such.
11:45 p. m. Lieuts. Thackaray and

Common Sooe About the Cigarette.
A tobacco denJ-r says: Thefe'has boen
a great deal said ibout the harmfulnesa
of cigarettes, and certainly they are in
jurious to young boys or to men if
smoked in excess; but most of those who
attack the cigarette habit have very lit
Mo idea of what they are talking about.
It should bo remembered that the great
est smokers in the world the Spaniards,
! the Cubans. Spanish-Americans and the
Russians use cigarettes far more freely
than cigars, and " none of these nations
l can be. called unhealthy. People talk
about the injurionsness of the pajer, but
any phy.-ician will tell you that it has no
effect worth mentioning.
If you take a piece of rice paper and
light it scarcely any residuum will re
main, and n man night smoke that pa
1 ize e.ii ' : i . ..l y without experiencing the
smaile.-.t bad result. What makes cigar
ette smoking injurious is the fact that
the smoke is not retained in the mouth
and throat, but is taken into the lungs.
It is because the cigar smoker does not
understand this that he denounces cig
iretle !-'rvking ;s insipid. So it is if the
:;:..;.'. reV.c- is smokes! like a cigar, but
u'he:i ''.: smoke is swallowed the effect
is i .r more delicat e than cm be obtained
!'rom any cig:ir, and you will find that a
onlir.'ie'd cigarette smoker seldom en
joys either a cigar or a pipe. St. Louis

Why People llite Their Lip.
If you surpri se the father of a family
?t retched out at full length and trying
till he is red in the face to raise his legs
without lifting his body, you may know
'in is endeavoring to work off his super
ibundance of avoirdupois, which inter
"eres seriously with his cutting a grace
ful figure in the waltz, which his better
half insists on dancing every chance she
j;ets. If you consult Mr. Russell on
what changes will make you better look
ing, j'ou will find him very blunt. He
may tell you you do not wash 3rour face
elean, and when you ask how he knows
he will tell you if you did your skin
would not be disfigured with those black
pimples, or he may tell you, as he told a
woman who recently appealed to him
for advice, that she did not eat enough,
which fact he had reached because he
iiad observed how much she chewed her
lips.
So you see you need not be on your
good behavior when yon pass under his
eagle eye. But did you ever sit in the
ferry boat or car and watch the women,
who make the most hideous, wry faces
in their attempts to get some nourish
ment or crumb of comforc from their
lips? Not only the women but the men
also have this fiendish habit. Brooklyn

A Rare Xew Zcaland Iiirrt.
Dr. Fristedt has brought a most inter
ring and valuable collection of birds,
tc., from Australia, where he had many
in adventurous outing, and from where
!ie proceeded to New Zealand. There he
ucceede 1 in obtaining a specimen of the
uuaint and almost extinct kibi bird,
i'his bird is somewhat like an ostrich,
out oul;' the size of a crow. It has no
wings at all, and is covered with fur
like short striped feathers. Another pe
;;uiiarity about tha kibi is the fact that
its egg is larger than one-third of its
oody.
He also succeeded in bringing home
some Maori skulls, which are difficult to
obtain on account of the manner in
which- the natives bury their dead.
When the bodies have been so long in
the ground that all the flesh has fallen
from the skeleton they unearth them
and carry them into the interior of the
forest3, where they are deposited in nat
ural caves, which are very difficult to
rind. The attempt to obtain these skulls
is attended with the greatest danger, as
nn3 one discovered with one is certain of
being instantly killed. Galignani's Mes
senger. Ailments of Horses.
Almost any liveryman is, in his way,
a horse doctor. He practices on his own
stock, and will prescribe simple remedies
lor a sick horse that is brought to him,
but in any case he deems serious will al
ways advise calling in a regular veteri
nary surgeon rather thaa to undertake
the treatment himself. All sorts of sur
gical operations are undertaken for the
relief of horses, and there are one or two
men in the city who are specially skilled
in the treatment of diseased -teth.
Horses have the toothache just like men
do and from the same causes, and pull
ing a tooth is now a common thing in
veterinary surgery. Of course the horse
kicks, for his teeth have long and strong
roots, but the operation frequently saves
the life of a valuable animal. Interview
in St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Cheap Fuel.
Among the latest attempted solutions
of the cheap fuel problem is the method
of a German inventor, who' proposes to
manufacture gas by dropping a stream
of crude petroleum through a blast of
cold air fiom a force pump. The gas
thus obtained will be confined in a regu
lar cylintltr pen at one end, where it
will be lighted. This produces an in
tensely hot flame of several feet in
length. By mear.3 of this flame the in
ventor proposes to heat boilers, and he
maintains that the heating of large
blocks can thus be reduced very consid
erably. New York Telegram.
Revolvers In Siht.
The policemen of Savannah carry re
volvers strapped to their belts in plain
sight. They are armed with short clubs
is well. They cannot unlimber their
shooting irons any quicker than a New
York policeman, who usually carries his
in his hippocket, can do it: but with
most of the offenders the sight of a
weapon in itself has a salutary effect on
many of them. New York Sun.
