quaker Simplicity in Dress.

Although the Society of Friends in
Pennsylvania has not seen fit to formal
ly relax the discipline and rules in re-
gard to dress, as has been done in New
York, the plain garb is no longer in
sisted upon here. 1t can hardly be
said, however, that the Quakers in this
state or city, even the daughters and
others of the younger generation of
Quaker families, are given to the vani-
ity of gaudy dress or follow the ex-
tremes of fashion. There are excep-
tions, of course, but in general the
goung women of Quaker ancestry are
quite conservative and incline to grays
and neutral shades, so that in any So
cial assemblage here in which ladies Of
Quaker ancestry preponderate land
there are few social occasions in Phila-
delphia in which they do noN more
subdued tone in dress and a certain
severity of costume may be noted,
which is decidedly in contrast with the
gay plumage, for instance, of the
daughters of New York or Chicago.
Quaker ideas and traditions have not
altogether died out in Philadelphia just
yet.-Philadelnhia Times.

OvERWORK AND UNDERWORLD.
Moro Danger In q Lack Of Work Than In
Too Much.

Moro Danger In q Lack of Work Than In
Too Much.
Everyone has heard of the danger of
overwork, yet few understand just
where the danger lies. A man can
hardly overwork himself if he takes
care of himself in other respects-se-
cures a normal amount of sleep.
breathes pure air, takes exercise, and
eats food moderately.
The main trouble is that the man
who is overworking is violating funda-
mental conditions of health. He burns
his candles at both ends.
With due care, man ofgood hered.
ity is capable of safely doing an al.
most incredible amount of solid work
Mr.. Gladstone at eighty-three, with no
show of WEAKNESS, carries the weight
of the British empire. The celebra ted
John Wesley did more work than al
most any other man of the last CEN
tury; but he observed the laws of
health, and still active, reached his
eighty-eighth year.
Much of the so-called overwork is
the overwork of worry, care, anxiety
and haste. These make the severest
draft on the vitality of the system.
We seldom hear of Quaker's dying
of overwork, and yet they are very in
dustrious people. The pupil who has
prematurely broken down in his studies
might have gone on under even heavier
loads if there had been nothing to fret
him in his home surroundings. and
competition, examinations and scholar
ship markings had no place in our
school system. The fact is, work, and
plenty of it, is healthy in high degree.
And this leads us to say that lack
of work, with brain or hand, is highly
injurious. Underworld may be as harm
full as overwork to the brain if not to
the body. Nations living in conditions
in which the means of livelihood come
almost without effort are in every way
feeble. Close confinement in prison
tends to idiocy.
Further, where the mental faculties
are not called into action, the moral
also lie dormant, and the lower pro-
pensities become all-controlling. In
all ages the corruptions of the higher
classes are due to this fact. Few worse
things can befall one than to have moth
ing to do.-Youth's Companion.

ConGenlal Beauties.

How widely different women are in
their ways of wearing blossoms! One
woman will tuck a bunch of roses in
her belt or wear cluster of violets in
her bodice, adjusted carelessly and ap-
parently thoughtlessly, yet with such a
happy appositeness in effect, while an
other woman will wrestle with the poor
little posies until the very flowers grow
faint and dropping in encouragement.
Then she fastens them in the most un-
fortunate place and most ungraceful
manner. 1t is said that the pretty
woman who knows how to do bewitch-
ingly what the girl in the book is al.

ANCIENT CRADLES.
Babes Were Rocked In al Ages Since the
World Began.

Babes Were Rocked In All Ages Since the
World Began.
Theocritus in one of his idyls de-
scribes how Alcmena washed and
suckled the infant Hercules and his
brother Iphicles and put them to bed in
big bronze shield, "a beautiful piece
of armor which Amphitryon took from
Pterelaus, his fallen foe" And as she
made the great shield revolve and rock,
she sang a lullaby: "Sleep, my babes,
sleep the sweet sleep from which one
awakes; sleep my darlings, my bonny
boys; happy be your rest, and happily
fare until tomorrow morning. Sleep
my babes"
Ever since the world began mothers
have been rocking cradles and singing
1ullabies From time immemorial the
problems have existed: What can we do
with this baby? Where can we put it
so that it will be safe? How can we
manage to secure few intervals Of
peace and tranquility? How can we still
its cries and whines? How can we teach
it to walk? In q word, how can we
emancipate ourselves from the absorb
ing tyranny Of these sweet babes, our
offspring?
The solutions which have been in
vented by the solicitude, the ingenuity,
and the instinct Of mothers have taken
the form of cradles, swaddles, leading
strings and go-carts. The variety Of
these inventions Is considerable, and q
description of them would form, per-
hars, curious chapter in the history
of hygiene and domestic economy. But
where can one find the elements for
such history? Poetry and legend
might be suggestive to a certain ex-
tent. We may figure to ourselves the
infant Moses exposed on the banks of
the Nile, cradled in an osier basket.
We may remember the poetical Greek
name for a cradle, which is the same as
the name of the winnowing fan or bas-
ket, the traditional cradle of the infant
Bacchus. Referring to the monuments
of the graphic arts we may find repre-
sentations of basket cradles, and also of
little beds on rockers; for the instinct
of mothers, it would seem, has always
prompted them to seek ready means of
communicating an oscillating move
ment to the infants bed. In manu-
scripts of the ninth and tenth centuries
we find pictures of cradles formed of
part of tree trunk dug out, with holes
bored through the sides for the passage
of straps intended to tie the baby down
in his bed. These dug-out cradles are
still common in modern Greece. Final
ly. when we come to consult the manu-
scripts and bass-reliefs of the fifteenth
century, we notice that the cradles are
no longer mere baskets or beds on rock
ers, but little swinging beds suspended
between two pillars, the prototype OF
the modern bercelonnette.-
