AN OLD PENNSYL VANIA TOWN.
Purchased from William Penn Two
Hundred Years Ago.


Two hundred years ago Gwynedd
township, in Montgomery county, was
purchased from William Penn and
settled by a company of fifteen men
from Wales. There is at present a
strong agitation among prominent peo-
pie of the township, numbers of them
direct descendants of these original
settlers, to commemorate the bicenten-
nial of this event and the movement,
without doubt, will be successful, says
the Buffalo Commercial.
William John and Thomas Evans,
two of the company of settlers, came
to this country previous to the arrival
of the other members, and selected the
ground for the settlement, as was the
custom of the Welsh settlers. In March,
1898, the ground which they selected,
11,449 acres, was purchased by the COM
pany, and in April they sailed from
Liverpool, reaching Philadelphia in
July. 1t is supposed that about Novem-
Der they occupied their lands.
1t was in 1900 that the first meeting
house was built at Gwynedd on the site
VI eHS present Sti uctuIe. IN 1aUl w IL
liam Penn visited Gwynedd. A second
Westinghouse was built in 17l2 and
two years later the first monthly meet
ing was established.
Five years later a Baptist church was
organized at Montgomery, and in 1884
the Schwenkfelders arrived and settled
in the upper end of Montgomery coun-
ty, and in 1740 Boehm's Reformed
church, at Blue Bell, was built. At the
latter church but recently the one hun
dred and fiftieth anniversary of the
formation of the first synod of the
church in the United States was cele-
brated. The present Westinghouse of
the Friends, which is the third, was
built in 1S23

THE WILD WAVES WORK.
Wearing Away of Islands in Chesa
peake Bay.

We often wonder at the miracles OF
nature, and sometimes doubt if all
things that geologists tell can possibly
be true. But the changes that are TAX.
ing place every day meet the marvels OF
the past, and show that nature is as
busy as she ever was in any age or pc
riod, says the Baltimore American.
Not many years ago the chain of is,
lands on the eastern side of Ches-
apeake bay were large and valuable.
But they have been getting smalier all
the time. Sharps island, once quite a
settlement, is now a comparatively
small spot in the busy waters Ever,
year the Chesapeake bay is different
The tides that carry the drainage OF
many states through her mouth, which
is only II miles wide, are working
changes every hour.
In New York hundreds of thousands
of dollars were spent upon a great hote'
near the waters edge. Now the waite,
is running under its foundations, and
there Is probability that the house
will be total loss. The water of the
Hudson undermined one of mans
strongest works, and a train pitched
into the river. At Atlantic City the
tides have robbed some property own.
ers and have made others rich
But the most striking incident of all
in recent history was the obliteration
of Cobb's island, just off the coast OF
eastern Virginia. The dispatches TO
the American say it is gone. Months
ago the hotel went, and so did many of
the buildings. Now the life saving sta
ton has been swept away, and there
is nothing on the island, which used
to be filled with health, comfort and
beauty. The church is gone. The
houses are gone. The shooting boxes |
are gone. The waters have driven man
away, the life saving crew escaping
with their lives. And yet only four
years ago an offer of $75, 200 was made
for the island, and a company of capi
talists was prepared to erect upon it |
handsome hotel

THE GIRL IN BUSINESS.
She Should Not Accept Gifts Nor So
cial Recognition from Employer,

ou may meet your employer So
cially,' writes Ruth Ashmore, in an
article on THE Business Girl and Her
Employer, In Ladies' Home Journal,
but during the hours that you are in
the office you are employed by him, and
you have no right to claim, and he has
no right to ask, any social recognition.
ou can always be polite; you need not
be hard-hearted and there can be
without harm, an exchange Of pleasant
words. But during business hours
there Is wisdom in attending to your
business and doing nothing else. Your
sef-respect should not allow YOU to be
free in your manner with the different
clerks VINO are your companions, and
you should be wise enough not TO have
a contidante in the office.
NO matter who your employer is
you cannot afford to accept luncheops.
drives, flowers, or any special social rec
ognition from him. l do not mean that
all men are bad. Again, thank God
there are thousands of good men, but
masculine human nature is weak. ard
when things have gone wrong at home
there Is an immense satisfaction to the
average man in getting a sweet SYM
pathy, which he probably does not de-
serve, from a pretty, charming girlwho
believes IN him. But you are hired 10
work, not to cater to the emotions of
your employer, and when YOU are doing
your work faithfully you are doing ali
that you are paid for"

Engraving l:ade cheap.

At this season of the year one is apt
to be mystified at the cheapness of en-
craving as evidenced by the prices of
the jewellers and watchmakers, which,
since the reign of cheap silverware be-
gan several years ago, has steadily con-
sinued until now the accommodation of
having the initials engraved on 25-
cent article is no longer refused in
large cities. How can they afford to do
it? A little electric motor and en-
craving pen being set in opera
ton, the engraver takes his stylus in
hand, just as he would pen. and then
traces the design or monogram on the
silver with the ease of a writing pro-
fessor demonstrating the merits of a
new pen. With this appliance even
young girls can turn out fairly good
plain lettering, but, of course, the
elaborate monograms require skilled
and artistic operatives. Cincinnati;
