Decline of the Quakers.

Mr.. Barclay inform us that there are
at present only Il, 900 Quakers in Eng
land and Wales, while in 100 they
numbered go 900, and that their greatest
losses took place in the period of their
greatest moral triumDhs. Was Cole
ridge right, as Maurice seemed to think,
in supposing that the life is out of the
tree, and only its bark is left Various
causes have been assigned for its de-
cline, such as birthright membership
not an original principle of the system
which led to the wholesale admission
of nominal members, either careless
about religion or hostile to Qnaker ideas
and traditions; the system of disown-
ing members for slight deviations from
''the Unwritten Law" in such trifiing
matters as dress and language; but.
more important still, from marrying
outside the Friends; ; the silent meetings
which were very rare in the early
history of the sect, and the absence
of singing and reading the scriptures in
public. 1t is hard to conceive, indeed,
how christian body can exist without
some regular provision for religious
teachings; and the fact that one of the
greatest secessions from its rank arose
ont of persistent refusal to supply a
larger religious instruction seems to
point to the inevitable extinction of
Quakerism at no distant day.

How q Man takes Care Of Baby.

First. he must have one to take care
Of 1t isn't every man, you know, that
is fortunate enough to have one; aud
when he does, his wife is always want
ing to run over to neighbor's only five
minutes, and he has to attend the baby.
sometimes, she caresses him, and
oftener she says, sternly, "John, take
good care of the child until | return"
You want to demonstrate, but cannot
pluck up the courage, while that awful
females eye is upon you; so you pru-
IDENTIFY refrain and merely remark {:
Don't stay long, my dear" She is
hardly out of sight before the luckless
babe opens its eyes, and its mouth also,
and emits yell which causes the cat TO
bounce out of the door as If something
had stung it. You timidly lift the
cherub, and sing an operatic air; but he
does not appreciate it, and only yells the
louder. You bribe him with piece Of
sugar; not bit of use, he spits it out,
and tries to put his foot into your mouth.
You get wrathy and shake him. He
stopsa second, and you venture another;
when. good heavens, he set sup such a
roar, that the passers-by look up in
astonishment. You feel desperate; !;
your hair stands on end; and the pers-
piration oozes out of every pore, as the
agonizing thought comes over you,
what if that luckless child should have
a fit. You try baby talk; but ''litty-
litty lamby" has no effect; for he
stretches as if red-hot poker had been
laid on his spine, and still he yells.
You are afraid the neighborhood will
be alarmed, and give him your gold
watch as a last resort, just in time TO
save your whiskers; though he throws
down a handful of your cherished mus
tache TO take the watch, and you thank
fully find an easy chair TO rest your
aching limbs, when down comes that
costly watch on the floor, and the cause
of all the trouble breaks into an ear
splitting roar, and you set your teeth,
and prepare TO administer personal
chastisement, when in rushes the hap
py woman known as your wife, snatch
es the long suffering child from your
willing arms, and sitting down, stills it
by magic, while you gaze n.Ournfully
at the remains of your watch and cher
ished mustache, and muttering a male
diction on baby-kind in general, and on
the image of his father in particular,
vow never to take care of a baby again
until the next time.

Japanese Laws.

The severity of the japanese laws is
shown by the fact that death is the pun
ishment for every offense. In the fate
of the offender his family is not unfre-
quently involved.
Death by decapitation at the hands OF
the common executioner, or by instant
self-murder, is the usual punishment /;
and nothing short of death is considered
an atonement for the slightest breach of
the law, or of public tranquility, or OF
disobedience to any order or instruction
of government.
Apparently they have no condensed
written code of laws. Their laws con-
sist of edicts issued in the name Of the
Emperor from time to time. They are
said TO be exceedingly simple in their
construction, and to possess the some
what rare merit of being ineligible to
the cOmmonest capacity.
On the issue of everv new edict. the
magistrates, i'm the first instance, assem-
BILE the people, and proclaim, by word
of mouth, the will of the Emperor.
Next, the edict is extensively circula-
ted in a printed form, and, as nearly
every man or woman in the Empire is
said to be able to read, the law must thus
become well known. But they have
yet another method of giving it publi-
city; the edict is placarded, for a per-
manency, in a public hall or place ap-
propriated to the purpose, in every city,
town and village throughout the En-
pire.

Expectation of Wives.

In the early settlement of Virginia,
when the adventures where principal
ly unmarried men, it was deemed neces-
sary TO export such women as could be
prevailed to quit England, "a wives for
the planters. A letter accompanying
the shipment of matrimonial exiles,
dated London, August u, 1912, illustra-
tive of the manners of the times and the
concern then felt for the welfare of the
colony and for female virtue. 1t is as
follows: We send you on the ship one
widow and eleven maids, for wives for
the people of Virginia; there hath been
especial care had i'm the choice or them,
for there hath not one of them been re-
ceived but upon good Communications.
In case they cannot be presently mar
ried, We desire that they may be put
with several house holders that have
wives, till they can be provided with
husbands. There are nearly fifty more
that are shortly TO come, and sent by
our honorable lord and treasurer, the

worthy gentleman, who, taking into
their consideration that the plantation
can never flourish till families be
planted, and the respect OF wives and
children for their people on the soil,
therefore have given this fair begin
ming; for the reimbursing of whose
charges il is ordered that every man
marrying them give l20 pounds of leaf
tobacco for each of them. Though we
are desirous that the marriage be free
according TO the laws of nature, yet we
would not have these maids deceived
and married 10 servants; but only to
such freemen or tenants as have the
means to maintain them. We pray,
you, therefore, to be fathers of them in
this business, not enforcing them 10

The Danger of Old Tobacco Pipes

A case of so-called nicotine" poison
ing has recently happened in England
which is attracting considerable stten-
ton. 4 child of about seven years OF
age amused himself by blowing soap
bubbles in an old wooden pipe which
had become foul by long usage. Shortly
after, vomiting and commissions ensued
and the child died. The circumstance
was put down as a case of ''nicotine
poisoning" but the Chemist and Drug
gist very cogently points out the impOs-
sibility Of such being true, inasmuch as
nicotine only exists in the unburnt leaf
OF juice, and the heat of combustion
splits il up into other compounds. The
cause of the death is therefore rather to
be sought for in these compounds.
Rank pipes are almost as dangerous
as loaded pistols to leave about the
house where there are young children.
At the same time, they seem to offer
not only the most disagreeable but the
most deleterious method of smoking, as
the user is sure to swallow some pro-
portion of the poisonous alkaloids with
which they are charged, and conse-
quently TO risk serious injury to the
health, especially of those who have not
become habituated to them.-Scientifc

Self-Reliance.

Self-reliance, conjoined with prompti-
ings, is indispensable to success. And
yet multitudes live life of vacillation
and consequent failure, because they
remain undetermined what to do, or,
having decided that, have no confidence
in themselves. Such persons need to
be assured; this assurance can be OBJ
tanned in no other way than by their
own success in whatever way they may
attempt for themselves. If they lean
upon others, they not only become dis
satisfied with what they achieve, but
the success of one achievement in which
they are entitled to but partial credit,
is no guarantee to them that, unaided
they will not fail in their very next ex-
pertinent. For want of self-reliance
and decision of character, thousands are
submerged in their essays to make the
voyage of life. Disappointed and cha
grined at this, they underestimate
their own capacities, and thencefor-
ward, relying on others, they take and
keep subordinate position, from which
they rise, when they rise at all, with
the utmost difficulty. When the young
man attains his majority, it is better for
him as a general rule, to take some inde-
pendent position of his own, even
though the present remuneration be
less than he would obtain i'm the service
of others. When at work for himselfin
a business which requires and demands
foresight, economy and industry, he
will naturally develop the strong points
of his character, and become self-re-
liant

Rest for the Mind.

When the daily occupation is monot-
onous and unengrossing, full supply
of excitement for the leisure hours may
be desirable; but where the mental
powers have been taxed to their utmost
through the hours of labor, it is absO-
lutely necessary to health and happi-
ness that they be entirely released for
at least a portion of the time that is
left. IT is not enough that the usual
amount of time be spent in the absolute
rest of sleep, if every waking hour be
filed to the brim with eager serious oc-
cupation. 1t is not enough that certain
hours be secured, free from absolute
work, if they are still permeated with
energetic thought, intense feeling or
exciting pleasures. The mind needs
rest from effort in its waking hours, a
time when it may rightly lay aside lis
activity and enjoy being acted upon by
calm and gentle influences,
Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1878-01-09

Mexicans have any claim to the name as
we use it. They are simply a gentler
Indian, accepting a sort of civilization,
now and then with fairer tint, now
and then with wave in the hair that
tells of darker blood, and always with a
high cheekbone, following them to the
tenth generation. The proud Castilian
has but small part in them, the gentler
Montezuma race perhaps has less. One

A Curious Case.

A curious case as to the rights of the
finder of lost property, whose owner is
unknown, is reported from Rhode Is
land. The plaintiff bought an old safe
and offered to sell it to the defendant.
The defendant would not buy it but
agreed to take it and sell it if he could,
using it himselfin the meantime. While
it was thus in his possession, he found
a roll of bank bills inside the lining
No one knew to whom they belonged
The defendant therefore concluded to
keep them. The plaintiff, upon learn
ing of the discovery of the money, de-
mandcd the return of the safe just as il
was when delivered. The defendant
returned it, but without the bank bills
whereupon the plaintiff sued for their
value as money found. The Supreme
Court held that the finder was entitled
to retain the property as against the
party who put the safe in his hands for
sale; and the authorities generally
maintain the right of the finder in this
class of cases, as against all persons
except the real owner.

The Indians.

The theory that the Indians are
dying out" by contact with the whites
has received several ''set-backs" within
short time. One of these comes from
the censuses of the Interior Department,
which show an increase in their num-
bers. Another was brought out by a
paper read before the American Mis-
sionary Association at its recent meet
ing. The conclusion of the discussion
accompanying the paper was that, al
though many Indians mad perished by
war and disease, and some tribes been
extinguished, yet the number of the
Aborigines were greatly exaggerated,
and the increase in the remaining
tribes has made partially good at least
the other losses. Another piece of evi-
ience is furnished by an Englishman
who has lately been visiting the Indian
territories, and made comparison with
their condition thirty-five years ago.
These tribes-the Creeks, Cherokees,
Chickasaws and Choctaws-show a
large and steady increase in population,
and an unexpected advance in agricul-
ture, wealth, good order, education and
religion.
