THE QUAKER DRESS.
Result of FOx's Strong Protest
Against His Times.

The dress of a Quaker-that is to say.
the garb and speech which have always
been traditionally associated with the
sect-may we'll be treated first. though
not of the highest order of Importance.
because these go TO form the first-often
the only-impression of those whose
knowledge is confined to what has been
seen only. says Frank Leslie's Popular
Monthly.
The use of the quietest styles. as was
common in Fox's day. and Of garments
differing widely from the fashions Of
later times was a part of the strong pro-
test which the early Friends felt called
upon to make against the scandalous and
criminal license of the Restoration period
in England. when the whole of polite"
society, following the lead of the buffon
King Charles ii. seemed determined to
turn into contempt all that for which
Puritarish had stood. Its politics and
government its morals and religion.
In these days 1t will be admitted by
most Of the adherents of the sect that the
protest or Testimony as to plainness
of apparel is to be viewed in the light of
its higher meaning. Not long ago
a man in New York published a book de-
scrptive of what he called Society" in
which he attempted to show that it was
necessary for fashionable people, in or
der to maintain their position fully, to
spend annually sum more than enough
to support the families of two hundred
skilled workmen for the same length of
time. and that the mistress Of such an
establishment was expected-that is, COM
pelled-to pay $4,000 for dress alone in a
twelvemonth. Here are rich opportuni-
ties for the exercise of the Friendly"
spirit: not necessarily the old idea that
persons should wear a severely plain I'M
fashionable and very conspicuous dress.
or even that there is any especial merit
in so doing, but that expenditures upon
the things which perish" should be di
rected by justice. delicacy. good taste and
common sense.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

(an Mothers s1hlprove ON the Old.

II have always believed in spanking
children who were obstreperous. but my
little daughter. Minnie. aged nine. does
not seem 10 mind. She says to her little
brother. Harry. aged six: oh. come
that'n last only few minutes. and We
can do this for an hour. What can I
do with a child who reasons In this fash
ion?"
In reply to the inquirins mother, a
New York paper answers:
This letter shows that. when 1t is a
child that confronts US and not theo-
ry it is well to study the child. and not
to insist too strongly upon the theory.

"NExT-DooR" DRAWBACKS.
Times When Thy Nei4hbOr Is Not ms
Thyself.


Blessed Eve. who didn't have any
neighbors, That sounds. perhaps. tri-
fie harsh. particularly when one takes
into consideration the mutual dependence
that is perforce a fundamental principle
of life. and also when through rosy-hued
glasses we view the beneficial results ac-
cruing from genuine neighborliness. To
the first exclamation. however. mentality
stubbornly sticks, and to prove the why
and wherefore of it, a process always
in demand. the pen wanders naturally
but judiciously from reasons running
from A TO Il. any one of which substan-
tiates the statement that Eve was bless
ed in not having any neighbors- There
is no doubt but that she found Adam
just bit superfiuous at times.
Seasons there are when we want to be
alone. when communion with ourselves
is the truest pleasure. Periods of desire
for solitude creep over every one of US.
and it is on such occasions that the
overfriendly neighbor is sure to pop in.
and you wish that you could exchange
places with Robinson Crusoe.
Social intercourse deserves all the
praise and attention 1t receives. 1t
stimulates the intellect. 1t spurs jaded
brains TO fresh activity. 1t lifts one out
of the rut of sameness onto the plane of
diversified sentiment and acts alike a
veritable tonic both to mind and body
at times-but, alas. there are times when
1t acts in quite the reverse style, and
then is when the heart Graves quietude
The mind longs for lodge in some vast
wilderness ungetatable as the North
Pole. 1t is not necessary to go into de-
tails regarding such occasions: we all
know just what they are like. We have
all know the keen pangs of a pervert-
ed hospitality when the doorbell rang
and a neighbor ran in for just a few
minutes chat. The drop-in-at-any- mo-
ment sort of friends may be charming
three hundred and sixty-four days out
of the year. but there Is bound to come a
day, that three hundred and sixty-fifth
perhaps. when We are frankly and hon.
estly bored by this friendliness. The
magic circle of exclusiveness is bound in
the end to shut our more unpleasantness
than the open door and ready latch
string of too great intimacy. which so
often. alas. leads us finally to the con-
clusion that Eve was the most blessed
among women. simply because she did
not have any neighbors.-Pittsburg Dis

n.by No Longer rocked.

There are very few Of the furniture shops in
the city where cradles can be found now. says
the New York Times. Those which keep the
cheaper class Of goods have more call for them
than the better class, but they keep only two or
three on hand, and most of them go to the tene
ment houses At a large furniture house, where
they have not had cradles in stock in many years
they believe that the growth OF the city and the
decrease of room has had much to do with the
disappearance Of tho cradle. With them the
cradle was crowded out by the folding crib,
which could be placed under a larger bed in the
daytime But the real cause of the passing of the
cradle is science. The, physicians have decided
that the rocking motion is injurious, and that
healthy child should be put to bed and left 10

stroys some Of the poetry Of existence, it
also prohibited the rocking of the baby in the
mothers arms but, altogether. it sounded scnsi-
BILE, it was convenient, and it obtained.

The ..Dutch snnke.-

During her recent stay in Paris the young
Queen of Holland is declared to have worn a
long golden chain Of medium thickness. which
would perhaps have escaped attention but for
the exquisite ornament with which it is adorned
This consisted of glittering snake some eight
inches in length. which coied around the
chain. The head formed of magnificent
diamond OF extraordinary brilliancy, while the
flexible body consisted of mass of brilliants
ruhes and other precious stones, thickly en-
crusted together that not u trace of the gold
setting was visible. the varil US colors of the
jewels forming realistic imitation of the scales
1t is said that repeatedly as Queen wilhelmina
varied her toilettes during the of the
day she never without this chain, and
innumerabe are the explanations and ro-
mances, which have been invented to account for
a fact which may be easily ascribed to the
beauty and value Of the ornament itself. II is
quite certain that the Queen Regent Emma and
her daughter were oblivious Of the immens, SEN
sation which the Dutch snake caused every
where, and the endless discussions which arose
with regard to its probable value This was
stated to be enormous, and many leading jewel
ers, when questioned by would-te initiate s. have
named prices within the reach only of ultra-mill-
ionaircs. AL the same. less costly copies are be-
ginning to appear in some Of the shops in the

lar save to those who. having the original,
cannot be content with anything less perfect.
