The Childhood OF William Penn.

1t is pleasant to picture tho child
hood of the man who was afterward to
be the founder of Pennsylvania. 1t
was spent chiefly in Wanstead. He
went to Archbishop Harsnett's school,
at the neighboring village of Chigwell.
Before he left school, he believed
himself to have been the sub est OF a
spiritual visitation. 1t was his twelfth
year, when he was alone in his room,
he tells us, he was suddenly surpris
ed with an inward comfort; and, as he
thought, an external glory in the room,
which gave rise to religious NOTICES,
during which he had the strongest
conviction of the being of God, and
that the soul of man was capable of en-
joying communication with Him." He
seems to have looked upon this as n
first cal to holy life. But his con-
victions cannot be dated from this
event, viii IN was probably nothing
more than the waking dream of boy
whose consciousness of high a.d holy
things was springing into lie.
His education was carefully looked
after by his parents, who probably des-
tined him for the public service. For
some years he studied under a private
tutor at his fathers residence on Tower
Hill. 1t was not until the Restoration
that he was entered as gentleman
commoner at Christ Church, Oxford
Yet, soon after he commenced resi-
dence at the university, he came under
Puritan influence. Perhaps of all
sects none were at this time more dis
credited than the Society of Friends.
But at Oxford their views were taught
by notable preacher, Thomas Loe, a
disciple of George Fox, who was des-
tined to exercise the greatest influence
over William Penn. Thomas Loe was
imprisoned for his faith, but not before
his teachings had taken root, and Will
liam Penn headed a little band of
undergraduate in resisting the new
mandates against Non-conformity
Within the walls of Christ Church,
Penn organized little congregation of
his own. just as in the next century
Wesley formed another inside the pre-
cincts of Lincoln College. QutUer.

Suicide Among Women.

"By her own hand, during fit of
temporary insanity" is the usual YER
dict rendered by Coroner's jury in
cases of suicide by women. Rarely, if
ever, is the cause of the temporary in
sanity inquired into, and the form COW
ers multitude of reasons that very
slight investigation would bring to the
surface, but in Difference to the wishes
of friends, or at the suggestion of the
Coroner, the true reason for suicide is
left unsaid in the finding of the jury.
"She was insane" say the relatives,
"and we can imagine no other reason
for the deed" and there the matter
rests. When q suicide occurs, and the
family or friends of the deceased are
approached before time has been given
to permit of plausible theory being
made up, the truth is generally told.
Then it is discovered that unrequited
love, if the suicide is a young girl, has
much to do with the case; dome tic in
felicity is by no means a rare cause,
and the case is an extraordinary one in
which member of the opposite sex
does not figure as the direct, or at least
the contributing cause of death.
A remarkable feature of suicide by
women is the painful manner in which
they elect to end their existence. When
once the mind is made up to die the
method is of small moment. Poison in
some form or other is the most common,
and so. little study as to what is the
quickest and least painful is given that
if box of patent rat poison is at hand
it is taken without any thought of its
action on the tissues or the pain it may
cause. SO, if prussic acid or strych-
nine be the most available poison, it is
swallowed without any conjunction.
A few instances are upon record in the
last six months of suicide by taking the
various extractions of opium, such as
laudanum, morphia, and the like, but
this and drowning are rare In COMPARE
son with the more painful forms of sui
eide by poison selected by women. In
stances of death by means OF hanging
and shooting are numerous, but poison
is in the lead as the favorite method
The aversion to Disagreement of the
person, or the possibilities of their feat
ures being distorted and made repug-
nant, may have much to do with the
manner in which q woman commits
suicide, but the one fact remains that
whatever method is adopted is usually
certain inf its result, and no halfway
attempts, followed by repentance for
the folly of it, are found among womeA,
as with men. The latter have more
attempts at suicide to their credit than
women, but the actual accomplishment
of the deed is greater among females. s.

Postage i'm Old Times.

The reduction of postage in 1851. for
the first time in the history of this
country, made the postoiiice popular.
The first substantial reduction pre-
vious to that time was made March 3,
1916. 1t was then for every single let
ter or paper of any kind five cents for
any distance under 300 miles, and for
any distance over 300 miles ten cents.
Before this postage was reckoned on a
scale of distances. For thirty miles and
under it was six cents for letter COM
posed on single sheet OF paper; over
thirty miles and not exceeding eighty
miles, ten cents; over eighty and not
exceeding 100 miles, ia cents; over
$50 miles and not exceeding 400 miles,
49, cents; over 400 miles, % cents.
People i'll New England writing to
their friends who had emigrated to the
western reserve of Ohio had to pay
twenty-five cents; but the sum was usu-
ally charged upon the letter and paid
by the person who received it, Very
often letters remained in the post
masters hands for weeks and months
because the pioneer did not have the
necessary funds to pay the postage.
Sometimes the person addressed, know
ing the nature of the letter and the
person who had written it, refused to
take il at all. Letters containing duns,
and not prepaid, seldom reached their
destination. For every double letter,
or letter composed of two pieces of
paper, double the above rates were
charged, and for every triple letter or
letter cOmpOsed of three pieces of
paper triple these rates, and for every
packet composed of four or more
pieces of paper or one or more other
articles, and weighing one ounce
avoirdupois, quadruple these rates,
and in the same proportion for all
greater weights. In those days en-
velopes were not known. Letters were
written on large pieces of paper and
skillfully folded, so as to leave white
sur ACE on the outside for the address.
and were fastened together by red
waters.

grow stiff there, nor chests narrow.
and spines curved; but in large, crowd
ed towns il In different. and indeed it
would be difficult to find a substitute for
the gymnasium.
"There is no need for performing any
feats OF force. Let girls of robust health
attempt them il they like, but delicate
girls can attend gymnasium and have
plenty of exercise without ever making
great eyertions. The Swedish, or Lings
system, in which no apparatus is used,
and the modified German system, as it Is
called, are among the best that are prac-
ticed in the country. They are taught
in a way that brings into action all the
muscles and joints which are apt to
grow powerless from want OF exercise.
1t is surprising to see some OF the girls
at first laboriously struggling to move
their hip joints, the movement of
which is so sadly tempered by narrow
and heavy skirts. After while, how
ever, these difficulties are overcome,
and the healthy appearance of the girls
shows clearly the result of exercise
aiming at the expansion of the chest,
and the strengthening of the spine,
which, in many cases with girls, shows
tendency to curvature. Some diff
ference should certainly be made in
the exercises girl is put through,
acco ding to individual conditions; one
girl may be able to practice gymnastics
and drilling for twice the time another
more delicate girl could 60 through.
at has been recommended that girls
from II years upward should have
their gymnastics apart from the boys,
they feel more at their ease and can
move about without restraint. But let
young CHI ldren be trained together,
by all means, and on the same prin-
ciple. They are at home in the nur-
sery, later on at the kindergarten o.
infant s hoo's, and it is for their good
that they should be educated together.
Coeducation in later childhood and
throughout school and college life has
found many earnest and able advocates,
and has much to recommend it, but CO.
education in the gymnasium is hardly
safe CT advisable at the present day,
considering the average physical caliber
of girls brought up in our large towns. !"

Turkish Proverbs About Women.

The references to women are as un-
gallant as they are unjust She is to
be treated as CHI Id, and as such con-
temptuously pa,doned for her short
comings. You should lecture neither
child nor woman" it would be waste
of time. Her intelligence, too, is I'M
derrated. Her hair is long, her wits
short" 1t is she who as mother
makes the house and mars it," and
she is clGssed with good wine as "a
sweet poison" But it must be admit
ted that in tn want of gallantry the
Turk is far surpassed by the Persian,
who says: "The dog is faithful /;
woman, never.
The lover is regarded as lunatir,
unfit for the society of his fellows
"If you are in love fly to the mount
ains," for "lover and king brook 10
companion" He is blind" and dis
lance is nothing to him; for him bag
dad is not far" and the only cures for
his malady "are travel and patience.
A word of advice to those about to
marry: Marry below you, but do not
marry your daughter above YOU" and
Choose cloth by its edge, and wife

often accompanied by rain; and if they
are it is only very gentle, consisting of
minute drops. With thickness of be-
tween 1000 and 1000 feet the size of

ness gets greater the size of the drops
increases, and at the same time their
temperature becomes lower, until,
