The Quaker Yearly Meeting.


Often on First Day the Friends assem-
bled at the appointed time for wOrshi p
and sat for more than an hour in absolute
silence, until one old gentleman in the
high seats would rise and shake hands
with another, this being the signal that
the meeting had "broke,'' as it was express
ed among them. The Quaker young folks
were a jolly, happy, lot, but the moment
they entered the meeting house door they
seemed imbUed with the spirit of devotion
and were as grave and sedate as their ell
ders. They are gradually discardipg the
peculiar garb which William Penn and
his followers wore. l have never seen in
any audience so many women of middle
and old age who have preserved smooth,
plump faces and clear compilations as
here. Their belief that peace on earth
and good will 70 men, should govern all
our lives is surely good rule to live by,
if We may believe the impress it has left
upon their coUntenences. OF courss there
we're exceptions and here, as where,
were features distorted by evil passions,
or wrinklsd and scanned by sickness and
trouble.
The great event of The summer was the
yearly meeting. The men worked early
and late that their fields OF growing grain
might be free from weeds and present q
beautiful, thrifty appearance to visiting
| Friends. Women secured and Ecrubbed,
although it seemed impossible to make
I houses cleaner than these homes already
were; tinware must glitter like silver,
/ linen be white as snow. The choices:
| young chickens, the finest products of
| garden and field, were reserved for this
occasion, and such remarks as these we're
heard daily: Sarah, thee mus: not cut
| that ham; will boil that whole for meet
| ing day" ''Samaei, bring home bsg
of that finest flour; thee knows We must
( have extra nice bread while the meeting
/ lasts." It seems as if sn army with
| prodigous appetites must be coming,
{ SO gelerous were the preparations
The opening day arrived and the small
edifce would not contain the people who
came, but every window and both doors
were thrown open. so that all could hear,
if the Spirit should draw near and inspire
| any to speak. Friends were here from

Coal PrOSneCt.

At meeting of the managers of the
Pennsylvania anthracite coal interests, at
Philadelphia, it was resolved not TO re-
duce prices tor coal at the mines the COM
ing season. Lower prices than last year
are nevertheless probable at Chicago and
vicinity during the next few months, be-
cause of lower freight rates from Buffalo
by vessel and rail. Last year 1902, ,9S9
tons OF hard coal were received by Chicago
dealers, on which the latter made profits
aggregating 81, ,5OO,O0O.
