SISTER HELEN.
DEAR CHILDREN -

DEAR (hIL4DREN
Jacinta thinks I'm pretty slow telling her
story: but you see I'm only a cat, and 1
have to do things in my own way: suppose
if were dog I could be taught better.
They say dogs are so much smarter than
cats: but | was born cat.
After Jacinta got down stairs that time,
she heard those two women coming down
after her. so she picked herself up and
rushed in under 4 sofa against the wall, and
hoped they wouldn't find her.
But in a minute in they came.
"Where's that cat now" said one.
shell have 10 get out if she's here, said
the other. Il won't have cats hairs on MY
carpet for anybody"
She began to poke that broom under
things. and soon she was at the sofa. and
Jacinta had to run out again. She ran out
into the hall. and this time found some
stairs going down. and dashed toward
them.
For PHYS sake drive her out Of the back
door: she can stay in the yard l ain t going
to have the thing IN here any longer" said
the woman with the broom.
But Jacinta didn't stop in the yard. There
was a grapevine running along a high
board fence, and She climbed over that and
found herself in 4 long narrew road. with
the same kind of fence all the way along
on both sides: it was not ike any street she
had ever seen before.
But she didn't stop: she wanted TO get as
far away from those dreadful women as
she could, and she ran and ran.
Once a boy threw tin can at her, aud
once little girl called to her, but she was
afraid of everyone now. and she only ran
all the faster.
At last she got into the corner Of yard
and hid behind a keg that smelled as if
there were food in it; but it was covered
up and she couldn't get At it.
She was lame from running so much over
brick, and her head ached where it had
struck the bed-post, and it was very cold.
She had never spent a night out of her
basket before, and she began to cry as loud
as she could when she thought of her
mother and the nice home she had lost. and
how hungry and wretched she was now
At this a window opened i'm the house
across the yard. something hard struck the
keg in front of her, and a voice said:
stop that cat-a-wau'ing" She didn't
dare to cry any more, but lay and shivered
with cold and fright
After a long time it began TO grow light
again. and She crawled out and began to
creep along the back walls trying to find
something to eat, for she wanted that now,
even worse than to get home. All day long
she dragged herself about and hunted, and
when it came night again she had only had
a little niece of "A fish head that she found

The Terra Gotta Works.

Perth Amboy, N. j., Feb. 6-Erness
Merrick. general manager of the Staten
Island Clay company. made pa Bile yester.
terday a statement Of the differences be-
tween j. Edward Addicks, the largest
stakeholder, and the rest of the board OF
directors
Mi Addicks published card in the Neu.
York and Philadelphia papers cautionine
all persons against accepting any note,
check or contract purporting to be issued
by the Staten Island Clay Company unlesi
signed by Charles ID. Thompson, presi
dent. 81
Mr.. Merrick says that the trouble which
has Eliminated in the publication Of Mr..
/ Addicks' card is the result Of a dispuh
which arose over tho disposition to b.
! made of the money paid by various insur.
ance companies because Of fire which do.
stroyed part of che oompany's works In
this city. .s
He says in his statements: "The present
management will rebuild the works In 40
cordance with plans already adopted, and
will continue the business for period Of
three years, unless some aInicable agree
1nent is made whereby the debts due thl
banks and to all other creditors OF the com,
pany shall be paid. In that event the;pres
ent directors will retire, for none Of them
will be identified With auy business opera
tion which Mr.. Addicks controls"
Mr.. Merrlck added that tho actual wind
ing up of the receivership Of the money
In the hands of the receivers has been de-
layed by the failure of Mr. AddiclkB to end
the presentation Of his claim as srfeditoi 4
of the old company before the master to
whom the matter Of his account Was re- 4
ferred by the court. Mr. Bacot. as receiver,
has presented his side of the case against
Mr. Addicks and is awaiting an ordeI
from the Court to distribute the funds.

Squeezed by Sun and Moon.

A very curious observation was mafs b,
Or. Nansen during his adventurous Jour
Eey toward the north pole concerning the
effects of the tides on the floating ice. The
worst pressures experienced by his ship,
the Fran, when enclosed in ice (eXcept
those due to high winds) occurred regular.
ly about the time of new and full moon,
the greatest being at new moon. The
reason was because the tidal currents near
tho margin of the polar leo fields drive the
floating ice before them and Mt new and
full moon the tidal attraction of the sun
is added to that Of the moon, so that they
may be said to pull together, and the effect
on the sea is increased Dr. Nansen also
observed that the ice does not form by di-
rect freezing on the Polar sea to thick
ness exceeding 13 feet That was the
maximum noticed by him, but in the leo
fields the thickness becomes greatly in
creased by the piling I'M of broken masses
under the action of winds and waves
1.-The massive ice cap which many eyplor-
ers have believed to cover the polar area"
he said in his recent lecture in London,
"has been shattered. Instead of it we have
ever wandering ice fields. "--Youth's Com.

clined by Mr.. Baldwin, and he filed suit
In equity asking for decree command

in view of the tender made.
In the answer Mr.. Baker submits that
under the power ito coin money, reg

the United States has no more author
ity or power as far as existing con-
tracts for the payment of money Is

Ready For KlondIke Duty.

Butte Mont, Feb. 7.--1nformation re-
ceived from Leithbridge, on the Can
adian boundary. is to the effect that
great excitement has been caused there
by orders received from the Dominion
government that every man of the
mounted police holds himself in readi-
ness TO proceed to the Yukon at a IHo-
ments notice for temporary duty. The
orders, which were received by wire
are said to de due to the existence of
serious trouble between the Canadian
and United States authorities in Alaska
relative to the attempt by the Ameri-
cans to get provisions into the Yukon
free of duty, ostensibly for the relief of
the distressed, but in reality for sale

The Passlnore Farm,

Mr. J. Cloud Elliott, who recently pur-
chased tho Passmoro farm in the uppe,
part OF Christiana Hundred is the young
est son of j. Cloud Elliott who died In ou
city few months ago He Is greatly
pleased with this property and proposes to
make many improvements in order to ren
der 1t pleasant home. Before purchas
ing he looked over New Castle County
and the adjoining counties Of Chester and
Delaware, without finding another situa-
tion SO desirable at anything like rs reas.
onabea price. He intends to remodel the
dwelling, enlarge the mill dam, put in
electric lights and make u model home
AS the farm contains 176 acres there is
plenty of room for horses. cattle and crops,
and there Is reason to believe that Mr.
Elliott will find profit as well as pleasure
in Its management He will prove vau.
able acquisition to the eighborhood, aud
his Influence and example will tend to
stimulate Others to render their properties
more fertile and eventually we shall not
hear the complaint that farming does not
pay. We hope the Messrs. Passmore will
soon secure another homo. and continue
their business MS heret ofore to the adyan-
tage Of themselves and to their numerous
patrons.
