Our Quaker Simplicity Deoaying,

Thin figures in gray shad-bellied
coats and broad-brimmed hats are not
any more to be met with in every
block in the Quaker City. The
Friends are either rapidly dying out
in this town or are losing their dis
tinctive forms of dress and manner and
being absorbed by other sects. The
Hicksite body is quite as large and
wealthy as the Orthodox They do
not strictly adhere to "plain" clothes
and the "plain language" TheolOgi-
cally, as understand, they are practi-
cally Unitarians. Thev go in as strong
as anybody for the enjOyments of life,
and the sound of piano or the sight
Of an oil painting does not fill them
with horror. Only the other night at
the opera half of a row was occupied
by a Hicksite Quaker opera party.
Even the Orthodox have come to be
much more elastic in their rules than
they need to be. Some years ago a
nice, fatherly Quaker raised a storm
about his ears and was threatened
with expulsion from meeting because
he had admitted piano into the house
and allowed his daughter to take
music lessons. The storm blew over
and papa was not fired out. No one
would think of being otherwise than
blind to such a falling away from dis
cipline in this day. Many Quaker
homes are as delightfully."- appointed as
any in town, and the drawing-room:
are adorned with pictures and fur
nished with musical instruments. One
of the most popular girls in Philadel
phia society is Quaker maiden who
says thee" and thy" but dances
the lancers equal to the most worldly
Nearly all the city Quaker girls 60 il
for laces and trimmings, and some o
them have even come to feathers
This " gayety" is IA constant topic o
sad discussion among the grandmamma
and aunties who live in country anC
still retain their drah dresses and quee
bOnnets in all their primitive sim
plicity.

The menhaden is a small fish about
nine inches in length and averaging
about pound in weight. 1t is not a
food fish, and is valued for the oil it
contains and its fertilizing qualities,
1000 of the fish yielding from five to
ten gallons Of oil and about 200 pounds
of guano. The oil is largely used by
coal miners in their lamps and by paint
manufacturers, bringing about 90 cents
a gallon, and the guano sells at from
$40 to $50 ton.

Frosts have been numerOusly report
ed from all the Northern States and
even from Virginia as a result of last
weeks severe cold wave; but most of
them, fortunately, have heen light.
August rarely passes in these ATTITUDES
without frOsts in few exposed locali-
ties. One and two years ago, almost
two a night, they seriously damaged
corn, buckwheat, tobacco, potatoes cab
bage and other crops in New York, New
England and the West. The fall in
temperature this week has been a trihe
greater than is usual The farmers,
therefore, have had a narrow escape
that is, those who really have escaped,
and such of them as are accustomed to
look for frosts at the time of the full
moon nearest to September 1st will not
be any less anxious on this point in the
future for this weeks experience.

THE FASHION IN CANEs.-The carl
caturists are beginning to make fun of
the big cane which has lately become
popular. The fashion in walking-sticks
moves up and down with the utmost
regularity. About every eight years
the heavy stick is adopted. 1t grows
smaller until very light sticks are used;
then the style wheels around again
and the cane becomes heavy. 1t was
about 1873, l think, when the spectacle
of small, weak men Juggling around
enormous clubs for fashions sake was
common one. At that time plain
sticks, with the bark and knots un-
dressed, were popular They had no
heads, were heavy and cumbersome.
The sticks just now are quite as big,
much more ornamental and decidedly
mature looking. They have buckhorn
handles, steel ferules and are slightly
ornamented with silver bands; alto
gether they are very like the canes
that are usually pictured in the hands
of the witches Of Macbeth, so far as the
form is concerned, though they differ,
of course, in finish. The very big sticks
exercise mysterious and irresistible
fascination for small men. The cane
usually increases in size in inverse ra-
| fiO To tho mans stature IF there is
anything more ridiculous than very
small man with very large stick it is a
very large man with very small stick
