A Business Quaker.

The Quakers are, in the main, as every one
knows, thrifty kind-hearted, and undoubtedly
honest people; but in some of them, even as
among the ''world's honest people" love of filthy
lucre will predominant In one of their farm
ing communities lived friend Benjamin and his
son. 1t was their custom to buy up cattle te
falten for sale. One day Benjamin, JE., had
selected choice portion Of stock from passing
drove, and was about to buy when Benjamin
Sr., came along.
''Father, am about to buy these cattle; what
dost thee think of them %
''What does he ask =? So much :? I guess
theell get them less offer him $500, and wait
till morning, if he don't trade"
Filal Ben assented-made an offer in vain
went home with the old gentleman-slept-
and next morning, after caring for the stock
mounted his horse to try again to buy the cattle
But on the way he met Benjamin, Senior, re-
turning home with the whole herd in question
Benjamin, ST., was wealthy as well as smart
he had taken an early start and bought the lot
"Thee will let me have my portion, will thee
not 2" asked fial Ben.
''No, sonny, of course not; I've bought the
whole-wan't 'em all"
"What Isn't that hard trick to play thy
own son and trusted to, thee y
'Ah, Benny" said pater faniizlas, rr1,ro~ing
Iy, "thee must be sharp and wide awake; trus

thy father, Benjamin watch thy father!"

nition was needless thenceforward.- d.-Phi1adel

Antediluvian Relics.

The learned world has been occupied of late
with the antiquities discovered in the valley of
the Somme, near Abbevile and Amiens and in
the valley Of the Seine, near Rouen. These con-
sist of stone matches and human bones, found
by the side of bones of animals belonging to eX-
tinct races, such as the mastodon, and certain
primitive species of the elephant, rhinoceros,
and hippopotamus. The human bones here
found, as well as those discovered in 1920 at
Baden and in the valley of the Rhine, in 1886
in Belgium, at different periods in Devonshire,
in the caverns of Brazil, and at depth of a
hundred feet on the banks of the Mississippi
all belong to the frognathous type THAT is, hav-
ing the prominent lower jaw which is character
istic of the African and Indian races All fossil
skulls found in all parts of the world have re-
treating foreheads, depressed temples, large nos
trils, the aveolar arches very marked, the teeth
pointing forward, as in ravenous animals, and
the facial angle oblique-a fact which seems to
show that the Caucasian or orthopaathous type
is Of mparatively recent origin, and that Adam
and Eve may not have been as beautiful as our
Imagination pictures them. We should be sorry
to admit Lord Monboddo's theory Of the deYiva-
ton of man from the monkey, but certainly the
dark skinned prognathi have the right to pride
themselves on the antiquity of their ugliness,
and to regard the white race as parUenus.

Fit for a LAWYER.

An old lady walked into lawyers office,
lately, with her boy of seven summers old.
esquire, I called to see if you would like to
take this boy, and endeavor to make lawyer
of him."
Decidedly too young, madam. Have you
no older boys? ?'
"Oh, yes, sir but we mean to make farmers
Of them. My husband and thought, however,
that this one would make first-rate lawyer,
and so l brought him to you"
"Much too young, madam, to commence the
study of profession. But why do you suppose
this boy better calculated to make lawyer than
your older sons-what are his peculiar qualifi-
Ecations 2"
"Oh, we'll, you see, sir, he is just seven years
old to-day; when he was only five, he would
lie like the devil when he got to be six, he was
sassy and in,pudent as any critter could be; and
now he will steal everything he can lay his
hands upon. Now, if be amt fit for lawyer
I would like to know what he will have to
learn ?"
"Pretty well educated I should think Toe
young, however. Good morning, madam"

everything. A dozen times she resolved to tell
her husband the cause of yesterdays anger but
the whole affair appeared so foolish to her now,
that as often she shrank from her task. She
felt that Frederick was now really vexed at her,
but what could she do? Every time she thought
of telling him the truth, she bushed with shame,
for her anger seemed SO childish.
Frederick, too, spent an unhappy morning.
He was hurt at his wife's refusal of her conf
dence, and kept taxing his memory to recolect
what he had said to offend her. But he could
not remember anything until his return to din

remark of yesterday REQUIRED to him, and with
it the thought that this possibly might have
been the origin of the whole difficulty. He IL

To KEEP BUTTER FREsH.-The Farm Jour
nal, a German paper, published at Allentown,
Pennsylvania, says that butter will remain fresh
and sweet for six months, and even longer, if
prepared in the following manner: Take but
ter as it comes from the churn, and wash the
buttermlk thoroughly out of it, then dry the
surface of the butter with a clean CLOTH break
into small pieces and pack it solid into crock.
The air must be entirely expelled. Setthecrock
in a kettle half filed with water, then place the
kettle over the fire until the water boils. While
boiling remove from the fire. and let the crock
remain in the water until cold.n Then place the
crock in cool place. The object in boiling is
to purify the butter and precipitate the milk,
which remains in it, previous to boiling, to the
bottom of the crock $50 H

one profane or vulgar word escape from your
lips, smell the fumes of tobacco in your breath.
No good boy will shun you because you cannot
dress as well as your companion and if a bad
boy sometimes laughs at your appearance, say
nothing, my good ad but walk on. We know
many rich and good man who was once as

rich man, and were addicted to bad habits.

There is touching beauty in the radiant
look of girl just crossing the limits of youth,
and commencing her journey through the check
cred space of womanhood. 1t is all dew-sparkle
and morning glory to her ardent ,buoyant spirit,
as she passes forward exulting in her blissful
anticipations.
But the withering heat of the conflict of life
creeps on; the dew-drops exhale; the garlands
of hope, shattered and dead, strew the path ;
and too often, ere noon-tide, the brow and sweet
smile are exchanged for the weary look of one
longing for the evening rest, the twilight, the
night. @
