T* only living hog-dentist has appeared, and with him the theory that all diseases which afflict ewine are due to their teeth. As the student at the Zoo can get “some new light from the tapir, some impression from the seal,” so men may Jearn from pigs. Perhaps the chief lesson is not to be pigs. Using at least as much truth ae the hog-dentist does, it may be said that all diseases which afflict men are due to what they do with their teeth. If the heart is to be kept with all diligence—“for out of it are the issues of life’’—ao should the stomach, for out of it also, in a! sense wholly physical, are the isaues of life. As Dr, Elmer Lee, | official of the American Medical Association, has said, “The science | of living begins at the mouth. As a man eats and digests his food, | to he is.” A thousand maladies which manifest themselves else- | where have their beginning in the stomach. Food improperly se- lected, improperly cooked or improperly eaten lays the foundation i for cancer, tumors, absceseoe, tuberculosis, rheumatism, Bright's dis- ' case, paresis, paralysia, apoplexy, influenza, neuritis, neuralgia and | nervous exhaustion. What and how one eats is @ matter more completely under his tcontrol than anything elee. He may be unable to get the amount | tund quality of exercise he desires at the time he wants it. He may be unable directly to control the hours and soundness of his eleep. He may have only Hmited discretion over work or even amusement. « Bat what goes into his mouth and makes or wrecks his body is his own affair. He has nobody to blame but himeeif if he masticates his | food insufficiently, or gives hie etomach more work than it can do, or ; disarms the sentinels of digestion by etimulatives and spices that confuse the senses of taste and smell and draw a wrong verdict from ;, Hunger, the high court of the body. Some of our good women to the contrary notwithstanding, the cooking of food is a calling second only to child-bearing in nobility and significance. | ily,” is brought into the news by the behavior of the cousin who told a father that his daughter was dead, and the daugh- ter that her father was dead, and collected money from cach for the + other’s tombstone, ¢ photograph of which he forwarded as voucher. i One might discourse on all those kindred typee—“the black sheep of the family,” “the fool of the family,” “the family skeleton” and «“the village ne’er-do-well.” These remarks are confined to the first, since he is sometimes all four rolled into one, and since every family of wide connections has a candidate for the job. This person is an embodied denial of the sentimental notion that all misbehavior is the product of heredity and environment. With the same blood inheritance and bringing up, he behaves dif- ferently from his brothers and sisters. Maybe he should be consid- cred as a lightning-rod that attracts the Seven Deadly Sins from * them to him, or as the inevitable protest of overstrained human na- ture against their embattled respectabilities. One of the black sheep's uses is to mortify the pride of relatives hy appearing emong them in rage or disrepute and advertising the relationship. Another is to stimulate their charity—they are always good for the price of a railroad ticket to somewhere olse, His largest use is to proclaim the redemptive qualities of a good wom- an’e affection.

The Capture of Savannah. seemingly intact, its centre was no longer formidable. “Every eee is hard a6 marble—until it {s cracked.” And it remained for Gen. Sherman to crack the Confederacy. Grant had led the Army of the Potomac into Virginia, where now he was facing Lee at Petersburg. And he had sent Sherman to the far South to seize Atlanta, Ga. Johnston was in command of the Confederate force that opposed Sherman's advance. Sherman beat him back in one engage- | ment after another and marched toward Atlanta, driving his foes before |him. Johnston was replaced by Gen. Hood, who tried in vain to check Sherman's advance. By September, 1864, the Union Army had captured Atlanta. | Snerman burned much of the city, destroyed the ratlroads that led to ft and | broke its telegraphic connections, Then, practically cut off froin the rest of th world, he began his great march to Savan: <"from Atlanta to the sea." The Confederate authorities could not belleve such @ daring move was capable of success, They declared the invading army would never reach the sea, Sherman 8 in @ position where he could not well receive out- je help. He was forced to leave the base of supplies and to live upon the country through which he moved. Beauregard, who was sent to oppose the Union vance toward Savannah, ordered the inhabitants of that , section of Georgia to “destroy all roads in Sherman's front, flank and rear.” The | Georgian members of the Confederate Congress exhorted all the people of their State—whites and negroes alike—to attack Sherman's men, to remove all food articles from thelr path, to burn all the bridges and block all the roads in front | of them, and to “assail the invader tn front, flank and rear, by night and by day, and let him have no rest.” Convicts in Georgia prisons were offered freedom if they would fight Sherman. All these orders, and more, were issued. But almost no one obeyed them. A | large percentage of the Southern people were sick of the long conilict that had | devastated their land, left them penniless and slain their sons. They had borne the brunt of the trouble and had not profited in any way. They began to epeak of It bitterly as ‘the Rich Man's WAR and the Poor Man's FIGHT.” They would no longer bi'ndly obey the Confederate Government at Richmond. Front the Confederate Army there was a steady flow of deseriers. Sherman met witi infinitely less opposition than if his march had been made a year or two eariter. Onward he advanced toward Savannah, Southern armies that sought to op- pose him were scattered with heavy loss. The March to the Sea was, for most of the way, more like a military promenade than a campaign. It was one of the easiest feats tn the whole civil war. Ard—to the South—one of the costllest. For everywhere railroads were ripped up, cotton destroyed, houses burned and lve stock captured. During the march the Union Army seized 13,000 cattle, nearly 6,000 tons of fodder, 160,000 bushels of corn, 5,000 horses and 4,000 mules. Twenty thousand bales of cotton were burned. This wholesale devastation has been called gross cruelty. Sherman did not deny the charge. He sald simply that t was “War.” And he added his famous, terse definition of War, Whether necessary or wantonly cruel, the march served {ts mighty purpose. It proved the Confederacy was past {ts zenith and becoming well nigh helpless, In December, 18M, Sherman reached Savannah. The Southern garrison si tioned there fled by night, and on Dec, #2 the Unton Army en: Four days later Sherman wrote to Lincoln: “I beg to present you the city of Savannah, with 150 heavy guns and plenty of ammunition, and also about 25,000 bales of cotton.” On Jan. 15, 1985, he began his march northward. Again he brushed aside all opposttion, capturing Columbia and Charleston, 8.
