Preparatory and Monthly Meetings
Authorized for the Training of
Youth.
The attendance at both sessions of the
Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of Friends
yesterday week wasfully as large as onthe
preceding days. Reports were received
from all the quarterly meetings. The
time during the entire day was taken up
in the consideration of the fifth query,
which refers to education and the neces-
sites of the poor; the sixth, war and
lotteries; seventh, living within the
bounds of ones circumstances, honesty
in trade and business eighth, church
discipline; ninth, records. The game
business was, of course, transacted in the
women's meeting. Some of the Friends
were of the opinion that the meeting was
too large and ought to be divided and so
expressed themselves, but the major part
of those present seemed to think other
wise.
At the annual meeting of the Society
of Friends in Philadelphia Thursday, it
was reported that morning meetings for
public worship were held in all the
houses.
The mems meeting dealt with the first
annual query in relation to the changes
of time and place of holding meetings.
The committee reported several changes
so far this year. In reply to the second
query, "How many schools have you and
how many scholars ?" II was stated: "We
have 381 schools, 6 Sunday schools and
5000 children being taught in them by
about 100 teachers"
The annual report of the committee on
education was read. The committee has
been laboring during the year to bring
| the schools up to the highest standard,
| and have expended 81, 1888 for this pur-
pose. The minutes of the representative
committee were read and approved, and a
large committee on temperance was APP
pointed.
The sixth days and closing session OF the
Yearly Meeting OF Friends was held Fri
i day In the Race Street Meeting house, Phil
| adelphia. The committee on discipline
recommended the adoption OF the follow
| ing: "The importance OF training our
i children and youths In the knowledge OF
our principles being widely felt, preparative
and monthly meetings are authorized to
extend guardian care over the First-day
schools within their limits" A committee
was appointed to nominate Friends to con-
slider the subject OF education among the
colored people Of the south.
Rachael N. Mather delivered a sermon or
"The necessity Of faithfulness in obedience
to divine light"
At the afternoon session Thomas ]. Illus
bands was appointed treasurer, and Dilwyr
Parrish and Joseph O. Townpenny CORE
spondents. The subject Of changing the
discipline, mostly in relation to marriage
was referred to a committee to report q
\ next yearly meeting. The committee oil
education In the south was appointed. Tn,
meeting closed with the reading Of minut
giving thanks to God for the peaceful an,
successful way in which the meeting hat
passed.

I new departure has been taken by the
manufacturers of a prominent baking pow
der, (Horsford's) which seems to promise
great results and which will receive the ap-
probation Of all thinking persons. They
have designed glass bottle, with wide
mouth to admit spoon, for packing the
Horsford's 8 Baking Powder. Bottles are pref
cradle to tin cans for this purpose for several
reasons. There is no danger of contamina-
tion, they are cleaner and will preserve the

variety of household purposes, while tin cans

Not Used to II.

A well-known real estate dealer of De-
trOit has for several years driven slab
sided old horse before one of the, worst.
looking buggies on wheels. The harness
is never creased, the vehicle never
washed. and the long-haired equine
hasn't been tickled with a curry-comb
for years. The other day some friends
OF the agent decided on an irnprove-
ment. The rig was taken from in front
Of his office to a livery stable, where the
horse was brushed, the harness black
ened, and the buggy washed and oiled.
1t was then returned without the owner
being any the wiser. Along toward
night he came out of his office, started

and presently called apoliceman' across

Labor is in demand in shops and

safe" He is obliged to keep it a
secret, too. There is serious penalty
attached to the exhibition of a ballot
after it is marked. The man may tell
any one how he Woodland he may tell
a lie-but no one can know whether he
has told the truth or falsehood. When
the ballots are counted no one but the
presiding officer can possibly know
one paper from the other, and it is
crediting him with extraordinary
memory to suppose that he could keep
in mind the two numbers that must be
remembered in order to identify any
ballot as that of certain man. There
is an infinite variety of detail in the
regulations respecting the acts to be
done, and there are quite as many
prohibitions of things that must not be
done before, during and after the poll
ing, but into none of these can we
enter. The law has had fourteen years
trial. There are some interesting and
curious facts regarding other branches
of this subject, which can be referred
to but briefly. In some of the States
of the Union majority of all the votes
is required to elect; in others plurality
controls. In France in elections to the
Assembly, as under the Empire in elec-
tons to the Corps Leg;slatif, an abso-
lutte majority must be obtained. If no
one gets such majority there Is a
second election, where Il plurality
elects. In France the voting is by bal
lot. practically on the same plan as
our own. Universal suffrage prevails,
as is we'll known, and the very freedom
of the franchise, joined to the tenacity
with which Frenchmen cling to their
op' Mons for the time being. render the
English machinery for securing secrecy
wholly useless. In Denmark there is
open voting. accompanied by public
nomination, but the job is all done up
at once. Immediately after the nomina-
ton. if poll is demanded. the voting
takes place, and the result is declared
as soon as the votes are all IND. G.
