A Quaker Belle.

philadelphia Letter to Chicago Tribune.l
1T is very funny to see the tenacity
with which certain society young men
of Quaker descent cling to some of the
distinctive marks of the religion of their
childhood. There is a charming little
Quakeress, the life and the flower
of the small dancing class, whose life is
proof in point. She is a dainty bru-
nette, with dancing black eyes and per-
feet carriage. Her dear old dad, who
was a member of one of the chief
Quaker meetings, died and left her
more than 100000 that he had accu-
mulated in the dry goods trade. She
was petted and spoiled, and all sorts OF
concessions in the way of dress made
to her. She was taught painting and
music, too, and her devoted old papa
was almost fired out of meeting,for hav-
ing piano for her in his house. She
loved him quite as tenderly as he loved
her, and when he parted from her
for all time her grief was unaffected and
touching. However, she had lost all
taste for the life of routine and self-re,
straint imposed upon the disciples OF
Fox. She had gone in strongly for the
beautiful and elegant in social inter.
course, and her munifcent income per,
mits her to crafty all her tastes. She

was impossible. He but sank the deeper.
Then like a tidal wave the blood rushed
back upon his heart, leaving his cheeks
and lips like ashes. 1t was fear. Then
he laughed aloud, a hard, hollow laugh.
Why should he fear? Did he not know
every foot of sea and shore along the
Great South Bay, and was it likely that
any harm should come to him in
sight of his own home? 1t was weak

the lines of unexpressed anxiety deep
ened across his pale face, yet he would
not cry out. People might laugh to
know that he was stuck in the mud, and
he was proud in his way proud of his
knowledge of sea and shore, proud of
his ability as sailor. He would wait
awhile and try again.
But what was this creeping up from
the channel? 1t was water. The tide
was coming in. Instinctively he sought

SIX inches above the top of his mead. In
a sudden frenzy of terror he beat the
soft mud with his hands and shrieked
aloud. Like mailman he glared at the
little sheet of water waving in from the
swift channel like an unrelenting fate.
1t seemed to mock him. Sea birds cir
cling over his head heard his cries and
scared away; little Patty covered down

1t was not quicksand. He did not
sink inch by inch. He stuck fast, and

n First Lesson in Handling Gun.

Tho first thing to bo learned Is to
stand properly. Plant both your feet
naturally and firmly on tho ground, SO
that the joints of your legs are neither
stitf nor bent; then lean tho upper part
OF your body slightly forward. Grip
the gunstock just bohind tho guard
with tho right hand, the forc-fngcr
lightly touching the foremost trigger,
that is, tho trigger of tho right-hand
barrel. The stock of tho gun, few
inches in front of the guard, must rost
easily in tho hollow Of tho loft hand.
Hold the muzzlo of tho gun up and
slanting away from you, so that tho
lower end of tho butt is just lowcr than
your right elbow. Now, if both ham
mcrs have beon cooked, and you gently
and swiftly draw tho butt of tho gun
up to and against tho hollow Of tho
right shoulder, you will find yourself in
good position for taking aim, which Is
best done by keeping both cycs wido
open, ard looking straight over tho rib
botween tho barrels with the right eye.
You will soon discover tho trick of
doing this, by fixing your aim with
both eyes opon, and thon, holding it
perfectly steady, closing tho left eye; if
tho limo of sight now changes, you haYo
not sighted correctly; if it remains fix
cd tho aim has been taken with tho
right eye.
Bo careful aftor firing not to set your
gun down with the hammer up. That
Is tho cause of many deplorable acci-
dents. To avoid accident you must bo
constantly on tho alert and cautious,

To Keep Railroad Cars Cool

The French railway authorities arc
at present engaged in q series of expor-
imonts from which, perhaps, our own
directors might take some hints. With
hot weather coming on, or at least in
tho ordinary course of nature expected,
the problem is now to keep the railway
carriages cool In France travellers
arc packed very tight, and most trains
go very slowly, and tho authorities
haVo to arrange to dolivor their human
cargoes at a distant tcrmini with vital
ity not quite extinct SO thoy arc now
exercised in seeking how to cool their
carriages. They haVo gone az far as
India for suggestions, and the favorito
experiment is with kind Of punkah.
