EARLY QrAKEEs.
The Home Life, the Meeting House,
1 s.- and the Marriage Customs. t


The home life of the early Quaker
differed very little from that Of othc
Puritans SO far as outward appearanc
was concerned, but directly the doc
was closed the difference was appa,
ent. According to the rules Of tn
society, men and women are in ever
respect equal in religious and socia
matters; the wife can be a minister or
an elder just as well as her husband
and Ii she feels called thereto, is at fn
liberty to speak in the meeting. Ali
readers Of Puritan literature know
that with whatever respect women
may be mentioned, there is always an
implied reservation that they are the
interiors of man, and the Puritan hns-
band was usually in very real sense
lord and master. With the Quakcrs
this was not so; the equality In the
Westinghouse was largely carried into
the home life, and that it was not more
complete was only on account of the
one-sidedness of the law. AS may be
expected, Quaker households were usu-
ally very happy ones. The friends in
sisted that only members of their
society might be united, and both be-
fore and after the marriage assisted in
making the wheels Of life run smoothly,
although 1t Is to be feared they often
insisted In turuing them good deal
more than was necessary

parties were required to attend q meet.
ing and publicly announce their inten-
ton Of being welded. A committee
was then appointed, which instituted
inquiries to discover, among other
things, whether the man was in a posi-
ton to marry, and whether he was free
from the claims of any earlier affection.
They also inquired into the state of his
health, and whether his relations had
any objection to his marrying, and
If not, il they saw reason to object to
the wife he had chosen. A committee
of women made similar inquiries re-
garding the girl, and were very particu-
lar in examining whether she had flirted
unwisely or otherwise misconducted
herself. That the young couple had
not sufficient means to marry upon
was not considered in itself an insuper-
able bar, for the society, not having the
fear Of Malthus before its eyes, had a
fund from which grants could be made
toward furnishing. In very early times
the parties were expected to be accom-
panied by their parents, or at the least
to bring duly signed and witnessed
assents from them, when they attended
to announce their intention Of getting
married, but this was soon given up.
On O date fixed the parties were re-
quired to attend another meeting, when,
after they had stated they were still in
the same mind, and If the committee
Of inquiry had reported favorably, per-
nilsson to marry was formally given

To watch Gustaye Dore designing his
sketches, says biographer, was enough
to make one dizzy. IIisyiingeis fairly
flew over the surface of the block, and
every time he took Il fresh ons it seemed
to be finished before one had time to
realize what he hal lpen about This
extraordinary quic,iness Of execution
was outstripped by that OF his imagin-
alton, always miles ahead of any pos
sible mechanical work. 1t seems all
but incredible that any artist should
have been able to accomplish so much
In so short srace of time.a A convinc-
ing proof of his extraordinary duplex
faculty of lightning like conception
and scarcely less rapid execution was
that he never in those, days made a
sketch twice over. Some he rarely
glanced at, but threw tile blocks aside
as soon rs they were finished, sure that
his faithful pencil had exactly repro
duced Ill, fancies and conceptions. fi'sI

Joseph Bowman, long in government
employ at Camp Carlin, and well known
to many of our citizens, is specially mem
toned for gallant conduct in the report Of
Gen. Miles Of the recent operations
against the hostile Apaches. Referring
to a sharp fight which occurred in Sonora
on May Is, the general says
There We're several acts of conspicuous
bravery displayed in this engagement.
The action Of Sergt. Samuel II Craig
was most heroic and very worthy Of praise.

Packer George Bowman exposed tnelr
lives in attempting to rescue Private John
