The Sabbath Should Be Observed.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: ask space to
reply to communications which have appeared
on a subject that is on the minds of our people
at the present time.
We cannot disregard the sentiments voiced
by hundreds of thousands of our loyal fellow
citizens who have humbly petitioned the Com
missioners to close its doors on the Sabbath
Day. All have right to their opinions.
The question IS, On what basis does the opin-
ion rest2 Many overlook the fact that our
Government has Sabbath. 1t provides for its
observance in its Constitution and laws for
bidding its Dissertation in the Halls of Congress,
Federal courts, Postoffces, and other Offices of
Departments-not allowing it legal day for
business transactions; and almost every State
has its separate laws. 1t should be no question
in the mind of any ordinary Bible student as
to the day.
Then, in the spirit of our great National
Order, let us be loyal. Throw open its gates?
Who would it benefit? The wornout railroad
and other employees? No. The foreign Wis.,
itor? In the name of common courtesy, let
them comply to the laws and customs of our
own country, which has Christian Sabbath.
Why desecrate this day for few pieces of
silver? 1t would not only be disgrace to our
boosted civilization but menace to its sue
cess; for vast numbers of our people are with
holding their means and influence until they
have the assurance of Shutdown"
While millions in other countries are plead
ing for the Sabbath, can we, when so highly
favored, utterly disregard the laws Of nature,
the laws of our country, and above all the Dr.
vine lawf The future prosperity of our coun-
try depends largely on the proper observance
of the Lords Day. w. NELSON, Co. A,

In Defense of Mai. Me,ranfs,

EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: Some time
since in your Chat of the Corridors you spoke
of the rebel-fag incident at Baird. Tex, and
said the explanation offered the Postmaster
General by Maj. McManis, the Postmaster, was
unsatisfactory. AS Grand Army man, and
knowing intimately the circumstances and the
Postmaster at Baird, / wish to say that the
whole story was falsehood and SANDER on
an old soldier, and entirely foreign to his
nature. William McManis enlisted as private
in the 9th Ill. Cav. at the breaking out of the
war, and for meritorious conduct was promoted
on up through the grades till he was mustered
out at the close Of the war Senior Major of the
regiment. He was with the Army of the Ten
nessee In active service during the whole war,
and mustered out Nov. z, 1865, having served
four wears and seven months.
Politically he is Republican of the strictest
sect, having been for the past four years Chair
man of the Republican Committee of the goth
Senatorial District. He was appointed Post
master at Baird under the present Administra-
ton, and has conducted the office faithfully
and Iiciently.-DAvID REDFIELD, late Super

ent view of life, and says not only be interested
in his work and studies, but read up subjects
that are of interest and converse about them,
making yourself the companion rather than
pet of your husband. Now, the trouble with
these arguments is, that no rule can be applied
to all women, or even to a majority of them
One man coming home worried over his work
to find that his tall, strong faced wife has moth
ing moro to offer him than cooings and gurg-
lings, would be about as much disappointed as
the one whose wife, although she could cook
the best kind of dinner or trim hat or ar
range flowers in the prettiest way, neglected
these duties to frown all her dmples away over
problems that were Of no particular interest to
either Of them. 1t is the same way about girls.
One time she is advised to play tennis, row,
run, and do as many of the things that the men
around her are doing az she can get tanned,
freckled and blistered. wear neat, plain clothes,
and be Jolly good fellow sort Of girl; the
next week she reads that the ideal girl wears
lacy, frilly gowns, is languid or babyish, and
charms mainly by qualities supposed to be
ethereal. Now, as some girls can no moro help
being active and Jolly while others are quiet
and soft-spoken, these rules cannot change
them, except into unnatural beings. Some
women can be all kinds of women at once, and
they are the most fascinating, for it Is their
ready sympathy that makes them enjoy or
mako enjoyable everything that they come In
contact with-from Egyptology to nonsensicai
conversations with babies that can only answer
back In equally nonsonsical baby-talk. The
only rules that woman can safely have-that
is, general rules-are to be considerate In &C
ton, dainty in appearance, and honest to her
self and to those around Ter.

There was once farmers wife, who, although

can be beached and have the crown lowered
at the milliner's, and then, with the aid of
some blonde with fine dots, loop or so of lace,
and some heavy white ribbon, be fashioned
into dainty affair. The facing should be put
in very full, and rather loosely, so that it looks
thick and soft. Then the brm can droop
prettily or be caught up in the back under
bow of the ribbon. few wired loops either
in front or in the back, or even in both places,

One of the fads of the society girl to-day is
Delsarte. Now, the first principle of Delsarte,
as well as of most of the physical-culture
teachers of the present day, Is to stand properly.
The chest must be elevated, the weight of the
body must rest on the ball of the foot, not on
the heel, and, above all, the hips thrown back.
1t does not make any difference how far back
you throw your shoulders a correct position
cannot be attained unless these three rules are
obeyed. In fact, woman who throws her
shoulders back, frequently oVerdoes the thing,
and is as bad az her stopped shouldered sister.
One of the worst things not only in appearance
but for herself is to stand, az most of the
women do, with hips thrown forward and
weight of body on the heels. There are other
rules-one to hold the head up, but draw the
chin in-that prove useful; but the first and the
hardest to learn, but the absolutely necessary
ones, are the three above given.

There Is no wo quite like that Of the child
who has to wear ungainly clothing, and be

work will change a garment into any one of
the simple little dresses or coats worn by chill

at trifing expense, and lot of dreariness
taken out of the child's life, for no one likes
to be made fun of about his clothes.

Pansies have such bright, happy little faces

When the handles of steel knives and forks
come off they can be fastened on again by pour
ing little powdered resin in the hole in the
handle, heating the part of the blade that fits
there red hot, and then thrusting 1t in. When
1t becomes cool the handle will be firmly fast
ened in. In heating the other end care has to
be taken not to allow the blade to become too
hot. Steel loses its temper when it gets too
hot and once lost 1t never can be gotten back
again. In order to avoid this, wrap the blade
in wet cloths while the heating process is going
on.

The destructive moth. notwithstanding the

Observation and experience have proved to the
