Quaker, Though He Was Not One.
Benjamin Franklin was often taken
for a Quaker, but the philosopher did
not belong to the Society of Friends.
Franklin, being a simple citizen of
Philadelphia, wore clothes of fashion
set by the Quakers. plain gray OF
drab suit. He continued to wear this
costume while he was in France. Once
when bis court suit was not ready he
appeared in his republican" garb be
fore Louis XVI. He became the fash
ion in France and indeed in nearly al
Europe and it was at one time the
proper thing for young republicans and
litterateurs to dress q IL Franklin. The
German historian, Schlosser, describing
Franklin's appearance in the FrencI
drawing rooms, speaks of 1.-The simple
ity Of his external appearance, tn,
friendly meekness of the old man anC
the apparent humility of the Quaker.
In truth. the humility and the meekness
were mostly matters of appearance
and the Quaker aspect was only an as
pect Franklin was brought up by bis
parents in Boston in the Congreg CATION
al church and was intended by then
for the ministry. When he went t.
Philadelphia. he says III his autobiog
raphy, he paid his annual subscriptios
TO the only Presbyterian minister OF
meeting we had in Philadelphia" Bus
he distinctly avows his disagreement
with Presbyterian doctrine and later
was quite as ready TO welcome and as
sist Whitefield. the Methodist, with
whom he also openly disagreed. Later
still. he took n pew in an Episcopal
church. but he was never a commu-
meant Episcopalian. He says much
about religion in his autobiograph ex-
plains how he became 4 deist in his
youth, but abandoned the doctrine be-
cause it was not useful in making men
good. His own creed he declares TO be

FAMOUS ARCHERS.
Stories of Wonderful Skill With Bow
and Arrow.

ana ARROW.
The expression drawing a long bow"
does not of necessity mean the telling
of a falsehood 1t sometimes refers tc
a wonderful story, which may be true
enough, but which is so marvellous as
to require a firm trust in the veracity
of the narrator to enable the nearer to
believe it, Some of the longest bows
of this sort have been drawn about
bows and arrows.
These stories began long ago. Virgil
In the "Eneid" tells of four archers
who were shooting for prize, the
mark being pigeon tied by cord tc
the mast of ship. The first man hit
the mast, the second cut the cord, and
the third shot the pigeon as it flew
away The fourth archer, having moth
ing left to shoot, drew his bow and
sent his arrow flying toward the sky
with such speed that the friction of the
air set the feathers on fire, and il
swept on, like a meteor, to disappear
In the clouds.
The stories told of Robin Hoods
archery, illustrated by his wonderful
performance as Locksley in SCOTS
lN
upon a sensible persons credulity. The
famous story of William Tell, doubted
by many persons, is believed by Others
to have foundation of fact. There
was a Dane named Foke of whom the
same story is told, and William OF
Cloudesley, an Englishman, is said tc
have shot an apple from his sons head
merely to show his experiences.
Most stories of bows and arrows re
late to the accurate aim of the archers
but Frenchman, Blaise de Vigenere
tells one that shows the tremendous
force with which an arrow may be
propelled if the bow be strong and long
enough. According to his own &C
count of the matter, he saw Barbaros
sa. a Turk, admiral of a ship called the
Grand Solyman, send an arrow from
his bow right through a cannon ball.
