Disappearance of a Quaker.

We take 1t that the Quaker idea of
cultivating ''the stiffness and the
quietness" which has so great an ef-
feet upon their children's education
Is identical in effect with that practice
Of retreat" for which thousands Of
minds in our fussy generation have so
deep, and we may add so inefectuaI,
longing. Even their peculiarities Of
dress and language have long since
ceased to excite ridicule. and are hard
ly more distinctive than those OF ear
nest Socialists. or Of the newest sue
cessful Protestant denomination. Per-
feet federation, however, which has
benfited so many creeds, has almost
killed the Quakers, and in the hour of
triumph of their most prominent ideas,
their society is dying, or nearly dying,
OF want OF yotaries. They have lenv-
ened' the community, and they are be-
ing absorbed into it, One would have
thought that thousands OF families
would have joined their communion
as a kind of intellectual retreat" safe
from tie pressure of q battling world,
but 1t is not so. and IL they have not
for few years actually decreased,
they are never without the apprehen-
sion that, in this country at least, they
may disappear, swallowed up in the
multitude Of those who agree with,
and yet do not belong to, their COM

Eccentric Spires.

The Exchange in the city Of Copen-
hagen, with its curiously fashioned
tower and spire, is deemed one Of the
sights OF Denmark's capital. 1t il
enc OF the most remarkable examples
OF eccentric architecture, although the
architect, in his desire for originality,
has not sacrificed the grace OF form.
The lower part is octagonal in shape,
but the upper part consists Of four
carved dragons. whose tails, graceful
ly entwined, gradually taper away, and
form the spire Of the Exchange. The
tower In 165 feet high, and was erected
about 1915. The most eccentric church
spire is that Of the parish church (All
Saints Of Chesterfield, with its cur
ions spire, 22S feet high, and six feet
or the perpendicular. Whichever way
the observer looks at this curious spire
it appears to bulge out in that direc
tim.
