A Little Girl Writes Letter to Her De-
ceased Mother.
In the Cincinnati postoffice recently, in
the general deposit of mail gathered at
noon, was a much-thumbed and tear
stained postal card saws the Boston Postal
Record The writing upon it was in a
child's hand, trembling and uncertain.
The address was: "My Dear Mama in
Heven." The letter was as follows:
home.
Dear msma-I am so lonesome sins you went
TO heven. L want to 20 to you. the time seems
SO long you said l could come to you. Mrs.
Clarke 10 kind to me but she is not like you.
you sho this to God and send Tor me sure, my
arm hurts me so and you sed il would be well
in heven. l send you a kiss, from ne. little
DORA.
Cold indeed must be the heart that does
not mosten the eye that looks upon that
touching and pathetic letter with its baby
love and unquestioning faith-an illustra-
iion OF the love between child and mother
that passeth understanding. The whole
world of pathos is in the child cry: Mrs.
Clarke is kind to me, but she is not like
you" No. little one, nobody could be to
you what your mother was.

lin and alpaca of various weights are
shown in all the standard .colors at %
cents a yard, and while not suitable for
waist lining make very good foundations
for skirts.
The latest innovation is a 36-inch linen
lining intended expressly for summer
dresses and also as a substitute for silk
1t can be had in black. pearl, brown and
other neutral tints. 1t clings nicely and
the sleazy surface gives the material the
same graceful lines that silk affords. This
line is only p cents yard, and for some
purposes it is preferable to silk.
There is nothing gained in buying
cheap cotton, for the dye is apt to be poor
and the sewer loses time in threading
needles and winding bobbins. The very
best thread can be bought for 30 cents q
dozen spools.
Good shields are a great saving of
dress. There are hundreds of different
makes in market, many of which are un-
desirable on account of the disagreeable
odor of the rubber used. III shield
"smells" when brand new you may be
quite certain that it will be positively I'M
pleasant to have in the dress after being
once worn. These goods are covered
with muslin, stockinet and silk. and the
only way to Judge of their merit is to buy
them as you would butter-using your
nose for a guide.
The old-fashioned belt is not made any
more. If the woman is large and desires
to reduce her hip measurement, the skirt
is gored TO the figure, the cloth and lining
turned in and the edges stitched together
with the finest cord covered with silk.
For a slight figure the skirt is top-sewed to
a piece of betting, which is nearer than a
machine-made band.
One seven-inch extender is put in the
skirt about ten inches below the belt. To
prevent the ends from cutting through
make a sort of pad with ribbon or elastic
over each. Sew through the eyelet-holes
with waxed thread, and tie with half
yard of elastic and one yard of ribbon or
tape, cut in two. Ten inches below this
steel run draw-string of rubber and tie
backs.
Any number of dress protectors have
been designed by modistes and manufac-
turers to face the trained skirts now 80
generally worn. One 25-cent article is
fan-tail of buckram, ruff1ed with narrow
paitings and edged with frill Of rubber.
Another design bidding for popularity
is piece OF stiffening with fold of elastic
cloth on the edge, warranted to be cob
ble-stone proof. There is Just enough in
the piece to face skirt, and the cost is only
II cents. Then there is a 10-cent mohair
braid with an eight OF an inch of rubber
on it, more suitable for a weather than
walking dress. Notwithstanding all these
innovations, the old wheel-braid continues
to sell well as ever. 1t will no doubt
surprise the novice to know that fashion
able dressmakers do not use any braid at
all They argue that it makes the skirt
stiff about the feet. The bottom is faced
with a strip of cross-bar, over this is sewed
a piece of silk. or the dress material if not
heavy, and on this goes ruffie of silk
pinked out on the edge.

Every day the needle Of the magnetic
compass has been observed to sway first
one way then the other upon its pivot
with no apparent cause, thus varying from
the true meridian of a place. Scientists
have for many years been trying to &C
count for this. One OF them has just pub
lished his theory of the cause of the dis
turbance. He ascribes it to electricity,
assuming that the earth is whirling on its
orbit between two magnetic fields and
that the varying intensity OF the current
one way or the other produces the dis
turbance of the magnetic needle. The
two magnetic currents, he believes, are
streaming to us from the sun, one being
produced by the corona, the other coming
directly with the suns rays in straight
lines. In other words. according to this
theory, electricity is generated by the sun.
1t reaches us the same way as sunlight
does, and the conclusion is that it is akin
to, il not identical with, sunlight itself.
The revolving earth is the gigantic dyna-
mo which excites the electric currents and
makes them manifest.

QUITE AN ANCIENT TOME.
An Irfsh Gravsstons Two Thousand Eight
Hundred and Ninety Years O.d.

Scotia's grave is in a sylvan glen at the
foot of the ''Sleive-Mis" mountains, about
two miles from Tralee, in Kerry county,
Ireland. The deep ravine in which the
grave may be seen bears the name OF the
Milesian queen who, history and tradition
affirm, was buried there over one
thousand years before the birth of Christ.
Sofia was the wife of AIilesius, the king
OF tribe of adventures, who, according
to the poet:
Set sail in their good ships calamity
From the sunny land of Spain
In quest of "Erie," the holy island they
had seen in dreams, and which, according
to the teachings of their wise men," the
gods had destined them to possess. Their
feet was scattered by angry Neptune.
whose wrath consigned hundreds of
their fated tribe to graves be-
meath the pillows. But Scotia, the
queen, succeeded in landing with small
force and thought and fought her way on
ward despite the efforts of the fierce ma
tive tribes who opposed her. However,
the conquest was not yet complete. Tue
inhabitants made final rally against the
invading Milesians. and though the latter
were victorious in the battle that ensued,
their spartan queen was morta ly
wounded. She was buried, where the
gravestone may still be seen, on this wild
yet picturesque mountain slope.
The country folk who live around will
point out to the visitor the large, dark slab
that has marked this spot as Scotia's grave
through all those misty ages, and III the
summer time, when the purple mountain
heath is blooming and the pine trees wear
their foliage of green, the children love to
come to the hallowed spot to play and to
deck with fairest flowers Queen Scotias
grave.
Giraldus Cambrensis, the Anglo-Saxon
historian, gives the date of the queens
burial as 1900 b. G. The venerable Bede
fixes it at 300 b. c. However, the most
reliable authorities place it at 1000 years
before Christ

G-n- John.ton's Last Day,

A pathetic scene occurred between
Gems. Joseph +. Johnston and Dabney II.
Maury during the fatal illness of the
former. Both of these men were West
Pointers, served together in the Mexican
war, were both wounded in the same bat
tie, and were on most intimate terms.
Gen. Maury called to see Gen. Johnston
to appear as cheerful as possible in part
ing he expressed the houe that they would
hand still in his, Gen. Johnston pulled
his old friend down TO him and kissed him
twice, once on the forehead and once on
the lips. "Yee," said Gen. Johnston, eve
will surely meet again."

Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1891-06-11

We received a communication
this week from Agra, in regard to a
little trouble existing there, between
certain parties, with the request that
We publish it. We're we to take IN
personal fights and give an account
of them in our columns, we imagine
we would have about all we could at
tend to; and, not being acquainted
with all the circumstances, might do
some one an injustice. Therefore we
must decline to publishlthe communi-
cation, but will endeavor to give both
sides little advice: When you hear
something about one of your neigh
Tors be sure it is true before repeat
ing it to another. and while doing SO
be careful how you say It, lest you
leave out part or add more to it.
Often times one little word added to
what some one has said, makes it ap-
pear entirely different and creates an
opinion that may injure another for
life. When you are about to start or
repeat a rumor about one of yonr
neighbors, stop and think a moment
of one of Gods laws, which is; Thou
shalt not bear false witness against
thy neighbor." Besides, to you there
is nothing gained by it, for there is a
law of retribution as defined and
inevitable rs the universal laws of
nature. If you deceive you will suf-
fer from the falsehood of another.
On the other hand we would advise
the injured one to pay no attention
to slanderers. Keep straight on in
your course and do as near right as
you know how, and let their back-bit-
ing die the death of neglect. What
is the use of lying awake at nights
broodiDg over the remark of some
false friend who has more time than
character. These things cannot pos
sibly injure you unless, indeed, you
take notice of them and give them
standing and prominence. If what
is said about you is true, set yourself
right; if it is false, let it go for what
it will fetch. We are generally los
ers in the end, if we stop to refute all
the back-biting and gossip we may
hear by the way. Our characters are
formed and sustained by ourselves,
by our own actions and purposes, and
not by others.
