THE OUAKERS.

These qneer people called Quakers
or the silent worshippers of the
Almighty God have from century to
century retained their religious repu-
tation free from all blemishes by their
daily practice OF honesty, integrity
and social purity. History teaches
US that in olden times these good peo-
pie were terribly prosecuted for their
religious belief. But through all the
punishment bestowed on them they
proved to be the happiest and most
contented class of people on Gods
green footstool. Abstinence, chastity,
peace, good will and brotherly love is
the foundation stone of their faith,
their motto being peace and good will
toward all men.

take a car. Now, there arc two well

She went 10 see the agent again and
asked If she could send her two boys

not, and, as might he expected, she
asked why. lie couldn't make her
understand just why, and when she
asked him il the company never let
anybody go along with the goods he
said that they did with stock. ''If you

reminded him of what he had said and
told him that she had paid S2.2J for the
pig for that purpose, and he ought to

trouble smoothly. but only succeeded
after he had purchased the pig for

Their Business Here

Is to establish permanent branch
Office from which TO distribute the
products of their vast herbal gardens,
located in the different states in the
union, where indigenous herbs are
cultivated and brought to the highest
state of perfection in their natural
climate. This gives better and
much more reliable medicinal mater
ial than the wild product, taken at
random in and out of season by igno-
rant people, whose only object is to
sell to wholesale buyers. In our gar
dens all trees, plants. herbs, roots and
berries are planted in separate plots,
and are picked. prepared and cured in
the proper season by experts who
have been in the labor from childhood
to ripe old age.
When the crops are gathered they
are turned over to the uperintendents
of the laboratories, who are expert
chemists and botanists, who extract
the Juices from the fresh material, in
tended for fluid extracts (succulent)
as well as tinctures. extracts and res
inoids. All articles produced in our
are the best and purest
that can be secured on honor or for
money. The dried herbs, leaves and
powder are above the standard in
sense, and are far super
ior to any others in therapeutic value.

Pigeons, Nests.

A curious preference of certain pi.
geons for the use of metallic objects in
building their nests is noted by NJ.
Maurice Dusolier in The Revue Scien-
tinque. He assures us that several
pairs of these birds that he has observ.
ed in Paris have raised their young in
nests made entirely of hairpinsl These
articles they collected in the paths of
the Luxembourg. The young pigeons
grew up normally as they would in
softer nest NJ. Dusolier believes that
there is a useful suggestion in this for
pigeon fanciers, who are often over
anxious. he thinks, to see that their
charges have soft material for their
nests.

Given to Agricultural Pursuits.

The Quakers are an agricultural
sort of people. They own large farms
ties. There are different branches OF
Quakerism, viz: the Hicksites, the
Wilberites and the orthodox. The
Shakers are an off-brauch of Quaker
ism; they do not marry nor are they
given in marriage. The Quakers be-
lieve in unity and holy marriages.

scandal among the Quakers. Some

A SONG OF LOVES COMING. >
Love comes with silent feet

Love comes with silent feet
Out Of the mist Of dreams.
With roses is he crowned:
he bears sword that CLEANS.
Love comes with red rose crown
To where the sleeper lies,
And on the fast closed eyes
= The red rose leaves drift down.
=, They touch the sleeper's lips,
And, sleeping still, he signs
They fall upon his heart; he wakes
And looks into Loves eyes.
Oh, waking bitter sweet
= of mingled JOY and paint
Turn, dreamer, ere that Love can speak
= And close thine eyes again.
: he never more may sleep
Who hears the magic word.
For Love that is with roses crowned =
Is girded with a sword. <a-t
