ings, or on the sad occasion of the
funeral of one of his children or
friends Surely then it is more fitting
that he should lie at Jordans than be
removed to a mausoleum at ohiladel-
phia. as some Americans advocated a
few years ago. 1t is even said that it
was necessary at one time to place a
guard over the grave to prevent the
removal of his bones by stealth.
Finally the agitators contented them
selves with erecting large statue of
him in Philadelphia, and raising a
small headstone over the grave, sorely
against the wishes Of the Friends. Jor-
dams has somewhat aptly been called
the Westminster Abbey of the Quak-
ers,' for one reads in the register of
burials the names of many of the lead
ing Friends of long ago. Isaac Pen

rise to the remark that Friend Joseph
was the white Quaker to the last
Many are the quaint stories told
about these old Friends. 1t is said that
William PENIS father was so irate at
his sons refusal to doff his hat to any
man, that on more than one occasion
he hid all Williams headgear to force
him to give in. But Penn stuck to his
principles. Even in the presence of
Charles H. he remained covered,
whereupon he removed his own hat,
observing that it was the custom at
Whitehall for only one man to wear
his hat at time.
One frivolous Friend was fond of
sport, and used to hunt in pink. His
dressed was denounced as being gay
and "unseemly," and when he died tit
is believed from fall in the hunting
field it was with great difficulty that
his friends obtained leave to bury him
at the meeting house. The story runs
that 1T having been decreed that his
body should not be permitted to pass
through the gates, the coffin was lifted
over the palings.
AT the present time the meetings at
Jordans are held only once year. usu-
ally at the end of May, or as the
Friends themselves quantity express
1t, the first day of the fourth week of
the fifth month. The old sect has died
out. and but few Friends live in the
immediate neighborhood. Nevertheless

STORY OF A CRIME
DOUBLE PUNISHMENT DEALT
TO A RUSSIAN OFFICER.
In Mad Frenzy He Kills the Man
Who Would Have Befriended
Him on His Wedding
Day.

The following story of a terrible
crime committed by a Russian officer
and its strange sequel appears more
like tale from Alexandra Dumas than
a simple statement of an actual hap
pening.
AS the principal person concerned is
still living. let him be called Halkoff.
Twenty years ago Lieut. HalkOff was
one of the smaftest officers in st Pc
tersburg, and by far the most ,sop liar.
Every house in the city was open to
him. from the mansions of the wealthy
to the palace of the grand duke.
Yet, in spite Of this, Halkoff was not
happy. He was in debt. Ruin stared
him in the face. For time he had
been able to stave off the peril by tor-
rowing large sums from a money
lender.
But a day of reckoning must come.
The money-lender would not remain
patient for ever To Halkoff it seemed
that only one loophole lay open to
him. He must maryland marry
wealth.
Some weeks later it was whispered
| amongst the fashionable that the lieu

out of the way spot for the erection
of their meeting house, for, if remote
now, how much more remote must it
have been when it was first built 200
years ago.
During the year 1857 a mOmentary
peace was granted to the Quakers by
the declaration of indulgence. 1t was
then that Jordans was built. They do
not seem to have been long left undis-
turbed, as one frequently reads of SOL
diers rushing in at their meetings, and
the Friends themselves being made to
pay heavy fines, or even being thrown
into prison. To protect their women
from persecution, the gallery in which
they sat. was provided with sliding
shutters. which were hastily closed in
the event of an intrusion. Thus were
dame and damsel safely concealed till
all danger was past.
Before the present Jofdans was built
meetings were held in farmhouse on
the tcS of the hill close by. The build
ing is still standing, known as Jordan's
farm. 1t probably took it's name from

FROM FIELDS AFFAIR.

At Calcutta a society has been
formed for the protection of wild ami
mails.
The German department OF roads
and communities has ordered the at
tendants on sleeping cars to wear
gloves while on duty.
The provincial legislature Of Brit
ish Columbia has passed law abolish
ing the wearing of wigs as an &C
compartment of official attire
The struggles for efficiency in the
British army proceeds apace. The
war Office now proposes to alter the
pitch Of the bands of the guards.
The two-year enlistment plan In
France is likely to deprive the French
army of its bands. An efficient bands
man is not to be made in two years.

the fact that its then owner was called
Jordan 1t was not until 1857 that it
was decided to erect a meeting house
in the little plot of ground acquired
some 16 years previously for a burial
ground. On October IT. 1858, the first
meeting was held at New Jordans. -
Here it was that the great founder of
Pennsylvania, William Penn, used to
worship. and here. after all his travels,
trials and tribulations, he rests in the
peaceful little sanctuary near his first
and beloved wife, Gulielma
And Jordans seemed to have been
the rallying point of all his voyages
Perhaps the fact that he first met Gu
lielma Springett there in measure ac-
counts for his deep love of the place,
though he was not married at the
meeting house, but at Kings farm,
Chorley Wood, where he lived for some
years. The farmhouse, still standing,
is much the same as it was in PENIS
time, though the curious old window
and door of the large room where the
marriage ceremony was performed is
concealed from view by a newer build
ing.

ing to Jordans, either to attend meet

Children's Hair.

The reason that children's hair dark
ems as the children grow older is be-
cause the hair pigment changes, the
sulphur of iron increasing and becom-
ing more powerful than the magnesia.
The condition may be kept away to a
certain extent by shampooing the little
ones glory halo every week with eggs
and hot water, a suggestion of salts
of tartar being added to the first water.
Dandruff cannot exist when the scalp
is kept perfectly clean. Twenty-four
hours before the shampoo apply pure
olive oil to the child's head, rubbing
it in well. This will act as a tonic,

One morning. the third after his en-

newspapers, Halkoff received a letter.

had intended for his clients wedding.
1t was not a demand for instant pay
