’ Apropos of General Sherman’s visit to
Denver, a story is told of the General's
exfierience with Henry Clay Doan. The
two had been frieiids for years, and when
Sherman became General and Dean
happened to be in Washington, the later,
naturally enough, felt a desire to renew
the old acquaintance.
He called at Sherman's house and was
received with open arms. They talked
over old times, and nothing would do
but Dean must stay to dinner.
“ But. Geniiral remiinatrnl
But, General,” remonstrated Mrs.
Sherman in her husband's ear, “ I can’t
have such a dirty looking man at my
table; can’t you spruce him up a lit*
tie T** ' -
The General said he’d fix Uut, and so
at an opportune moment he hostied Mr.
Dean up stairs, ransacked a bureau, and
produced a clean shirt for him to put on.
Mrs. Sherman was mollified, aud the
dinner was really a charming affair, for
there is no more delightful, enb-rtuin ig
and in* true Live rnmvsiaatanMltst than „'7
Henry S l>*-an. “ d
One year after this event General
Sherman was at tbs Undell Hotel, St.

Testimony of Experts.
An action was brought by ao attor
ney-at-law against his client to recover
$2,000 for legal services, and in proving
the value of these services he put upon
the stand as witnesses live fellow-attor
neys, who estimated their value from
$0,440 t6 #l l 000. The plaintiff recov
ered a judgment of $1,800, the Court
having charged the jury that they
should find their verdict on the testi
mony of the attorneys, and the defend
ant carried the case up to the Supreme
Court of the United States. In this
case. Head vi. Hargrave, that court, in
April, reve rsed the j udgment Mr. Jus
tice Field, in the opinion, said:
The evidence of experts as to the
value of professional services does not
differ in principle from such evidence
as to the value of labor in other de
partments of business, or sato the value
of property. So far from laying aside
(heir general knowledge and ideas, the
jury should have applied that knowl
edge and those ideas to the matters of
fact in evidence in determining the

Sleeping Accei
Cleanliness is the great essential. Our
life is passive during thu hours of sleep,
but our breathing goes on constantly,
and the demand Tor pure air in sleeping
rooms is very'important. There should
always be coismunication with the out:
side air, and in warm weather, the
doors and windows may all be wide open.
If currents of air can sweep through
the rooms in the day time (or in the
night without endangering the sleepers),
so much the better. The bad air that
originates in sleeping rooms—the waste
substance that escapes from human
bodies, by the lungs and skin—settles
and clings aboyt the carpets, curtains,
bedding and clothing, tainting them
wi)h decomposing, and it may be,
poisonous matter, unless a constant
cleansing process is carried on by
plentiful airing, and the action of light,
especially sunshine. The room should
contain as little drapery as poasibls.
Rugs are better than carpets, and no
heavy curtains should be used. The
bed should not be made up after using,
until the bedding baa been well aired,
and the more It ran be exposed
