AN OLD CRADLE.
The Ono In Which Mary Queen of Scots
Was RncL>d

The One In Which Mary Queen of Scots
Was Rocked.
The oak cradle in which Mary queen
of Scots was rocked is still handsome
and well preserved, though 1t has
passed through many vicissitudes since
1t took its place as the reting place OF
the royal babe at Linlithgow palace.
December, 1912. Joseph ". Patton, q
well-known Scottish antiquary, bought
1t about sixty years ago from the fam
inly to which 1t belonged, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. His daughter, Mrs.
d. o. Hill, gives the following account
Of 1t: "A man whom my father en-
ployed to look out for any old carved
furniture In the neighborhood of pal
aces went into a house near Linlith-
gov palace, where woman was rock
ing child in an old oak cradle with
out one of the rockers. The man said:
What are you doing, jumblin' your
BARNS judgment in q thing like thatT
She answered: Eth, moni De we no ken
that was the queens GRADER He said:
You'll be asking lot for it?' She
replied: I wouldna TAX a pound note
for it. The man. on his return, told
my father about this. but thought the
woman was asking too much for II.
My father went off at once to Linlith-
gov and gave the woman good price
for it. and it has been in possession
of the family ever since"

shrewd Young Woman and Her Scheme
to Raise 81.
An engaging and prosperous young
woman has given number of people
of Toronto. Ont, cause to remember
her. very taking way of extracting 81
each from them or from someone Of
their household. She is described as
good-looking and businesslike. She
has done a thriving trade by calling at
the houses Of the well-to-do, just after
the mistress has gone out, presenting
a plant to the servant and collecting
81, saying that the mistress had just
bought the plant in the street and d.
rected her to take it home and get the
money for it. Her strong point lay in
ability to describe exactly how her GUS

envelope makers So were quotations from
Clay, Andrew jackson and Webster One
ultra elaborate design indeed has all these
WORTHLESS to supplement- General Dix.
Another group has for motif the shoot
ing of young Ellsworth, colonel of zouaves.
He is shown in all attitudes, taking
down the Confederate flag, falling before
Jackson's fire, standing triumphant on
the field of battle, lying in state dead, or
apotheosized and born upward by Fame
and Valor. There Is also one which bears
q tolerable portrait with only the inscrip-
ton, Remember Ellsworth. 1t Is note
worthy chiefly In that the back of 1t is like
a blank form: "Mr. -, Co. -, -

the zouave envelopes, which show some
times soldier in full picturesque panoply,
leaning upon his gun, but oftener what Is
styled "The new zouavc drill, picture

traitors" Beneath picture OF Jefferson
Davis dangling from gallows Is the sig
niflcant inscription, "Long may he wave. I"
A set of five envelopes shows different
scenes of prizefight, the pugilists Lin
coin and Davis, of course winding up with
Lincoln triumphant.
There are many rhymed inscriptions.
Here are two from opposite sides. This
accents the meaning of a waving flag:
A union of hearts, union of hands.
A union that none may sever;
A union of lakes, a union of lands,
The American Union forever
This is set below fleldpiece:

There are many envelopes reminiscent
of the son to Richmond" agitation. Sew

One shows a small document, presumably
a death warrant, and is inscribed, "Gener-

place of the postage stamp currency he
had taken to issuing scrip, redeemable
over his own counter. He meant to make
it only good for debts due himself, but for
got to put In an express stipulation. His
friends managed to accumulate big bum
die of the scrip, then sent stranger with
1t, to demand redemption in specie, which
no man then had handy.
OF course there was great store of this
scrip-some from every city north or south.
But 1t was a mere business necessity, and
nothing like so interesting or so expressive
Of the epoch as the war paper and envel-
opes. A postmaster's life then must have
been full of variety. No less than three
big books are full of the envelopes which
then went through his hands. The letter
paper has for the most part some variant
Of the stars and stripes in its upper corner
now the flag droops, now 1t stands sti
and straight out, with notices. patriotic
or vengeful, printed on the white stripes.
The stars and bars likewise did duty as a
letter head. For obvious reasons, though,
decorated paper was none so plenty in the
Confederacy Before the war ended evel
wall paper was used not merely for print
ing newspapers and binding books, but
for writing letters as we'll.
Bewildering is the word for the display
of envelopes. They are of all shapes, all
sizes. At least half of them bear either
the United States flag or the colors in
some shape as a shield, as a scroll or in
big particolored letters, forming a pa
triotic sentence. Under great flags or
small ones you find at least a dozen times
the phrase, "Colors that will not run"
Other flag envelopes say, Protect 1t, 7"
"The star spangled banner shall ever float
above the filthy rag of treason" or "Not

cloth, Express from Harper's Ferry. {"
Beauregard and Jefferson Davis were in
deed very favorite subjects of caricature.
The former appears dozen times at least
in the guise of lank and scrawny boar,
now roofing In the earth and labeled,
"Boar-regard making intrenchments, {"
now In full flight without spirit to bristle
or now crouching In his lair, as though
fearful of attack. Davis Is hanged In at
least dozen fashions. He is also shown
as washerwoman hanging out old clothes
and soliloquizing, "Those flying blacks
spoil all my nice clothes" In another case
Uncle Sam is soundly spanking Davis,
Wise and several others. This is previ-
sion of "the end of the war" Akin to
that is another i'm which the north, person
flied by trig and saucy small boy, is say
ing to a ragged smaller brother, "Oh,
won't you catch it when mother comes
home!"
1t is q somewhat pitiful comment upon
the real war feeling that In all the twelve
hundred odd envelopes only one breathes
of peace and reconciliation. That bears
clasped hands, with "For union" printed
beneath it. Caricature personification of
course abounds. A shaggy and unkempt
mule Is labeled "a secessionist." A broad
brimmed, typical southerner stands for
Republication. Several men drinking
whisky from exaggerated glasses are held
to express "The spirit of the south. I"

PLEA FOR SILK PETTICOATS.
Modesty and Not Vanity Prompts Their
Wear.


Men, says the young woman, with
q toss of her head. 'think to settle ev-
cry matter by their dictum. They think
they are so much Yesterday I saw
where one Of those animals had been
stuffing some gullible reporter about
the silk petticoats ladies wear" says
the Memphis Scimitar. "He said that
these silk skirts were never raised be-
cause women wished to show them,
and he said the custom Of wearing silk
underskirts was started by some fool
fish woman who had money and could
not wear all of this good clothing on
the outside. This is not 80 at all. The
use of silk nnderskirts was started by
a modest woman who did not wish to
show her ankles every time she crossed
the street. When white underskirts
were worn dust and dirt showed on
them so readily that as matter of def
erence the ladies had to raise them.
The dust then settled on the hose Of
the fair one. Dust and Dirt do not
show on the bright silk skirts, and
these are not raised. It just goes to
show that some men always put the
worst construction possible on thing"

Sides
There is many a retort discourteous
among the Confederate envelopes. Not a
few of them show the Confederate flag
either covering the whole face with the
name and address written in the white
central bar or waving in the upper left
hand corner, with such legends under
meath as ave are in the field and the bars
are up, ""Don't tread on me!' or some
adapted line of the "Marseillaise." The
palmetto flag of South Carolina has under
meath 1t, "We are seven" There are refer
ences also to "The best on record for the
distance to Washington" evidently con-
temporary with tho retreat of the Federals
at Bull Run. A very favorite style,
though, with the folk down in Dixie was
an envelope bearing a well known por-
trait, George or Martha Washington, Car
roll of Carrollton, Thomas Jefferson, Pat
rick Henry or even John Adams, and
above the medallion In bold letters, Zone
of the rebels"
A rare and interesting bit of this unique
collection is group of designs for Con-
federate postage stamps never used. Some
actual postage stamps are curious One
issued at New Orleans Is Of printing paper
with a tiny cannon upon one corner ana n
cotton bale upon the other. It Is stamped
with the name OF the postmaster issuing
1t and countersigned by his clerk.

Back in that tumultuous era when time
was measured by heart throbs and punctu-
ated into epochs by the lannon's dreadful
roar few people recognized that the nation
was making tremendous history. Life was
too tense then for reflection, Things won
derful In peace were passed over as the
most ordinary commonplace. Emotion,
action. comprehension, were keyed to SO
high, so garish pitch that even the sim
plest matters of everyday life took on a
crude and glazing individuality. But
hardly anybody thought of keeping me-
mentos for the instruction or entertain
ment of later days. In all the breadth Of
these United States there are but few COL
lections of the ephemere of that stirring
time
One of the completest of these few, that
of Mr.. Charles G. Moreau of New York
city, has furnished all that hereinafter ap-
pears. 1t fills many handsome volumes
and includes pretty we'll everything from
Illuminated patriotic songs to tickets Is
sued by some barracks humorist which
read: "Park Barracks. Good for one bath
In the city hall fountain" There are also
tobacco labels bearing the portraits of the
best known Union generals, each sur
rounded by border of red, white and
blue. More curious still Is an assortment
of the small envelopes used by New York
firms when they made shift with postage
stamps for change. About every well
known name of that day appears on them
as well as the amounts they were supposed
to contain, the figures ranging from cent
to rs. AS you glance at them the collector
tells you, smiling, how the original Loren

ment upon the corner of Chambers street
and Broadway, got fine fright because of
these tiny things. He had some waggish
friends, who wanted to plague him. In
