Quakers and Education.

From the Boston Transcript.
AS is we'll known, one Of the leading
tenets of the Society of Friends Is nom
resistance. but some of the more promi-
nent representatives of the sect have re-
Gently come as near to an exhibition of
active resentment as they ever permit
themselves The provocation was an adj
Dress not long ago, before the City Club
of Philadelphia by DR.. Roland r. Falkner
OF the United States immigration COM
mission, in which he asserted that that
city and those surrounding IT were the
centers of the worst illiteracy among the
important communities of the United
States, and he declared that the cause
Of this was the slight regard for higher
settlers. the influence OF whom had con-
tinued until now.
This outgiving has been promptly chal-
lenged by prominent educators. Prof.
Nathaniel Schmidt Of Cornell University,
who has been in Philadelphia this week,
says: "It Is rather curious fact that
the leading educational institutions in
and about Philadelphia, with the excep-
ton of the University of Pennsylvania.
are the Quaker schools and the colleges
of Swarthmore and Haverford.
The standards Of the Quaker schools are
OF a high rank. and the existence OF the
two colleges shows the devotion of the
Quakers to the cause of higher educa-
tion." He might have strengthened this
testimony by the inclusion of Bryn
Mawr, which was founded by q Quaker
with board of Quaker trustees. In
fact, the members Of that sect have been
pioneers in establishing facilities for the
more thorough education of women.

Anesthetics.

France has found a new anesthetic. But
though anesthetics did not come into
general use until the nineteenth century,
they haze been long known to the world.
Pliny -ticularly mentions the use OF

and an old Chinese manuscript proves
that the ply stefan Hoa-tho administered
a preparation of hemp to his patients In
the third century. Among the illustrious
patients to use anesthetics In their COM
paratively early days was Augustus. King
of Poland. who underwent amputation
while insensible from q narcotic.
But even after the discoveries of Priest
ley toward the end of the eighteenth CEN

a scientific curiosity than anything else.

the rugged old third baseman, was
conspicuous exception. To the end
Ct his days in baseball he played bare
handed.
In one respect this improvement
came in the very nick Of time. In
1884, after long years of experiment
and argument, the pitchers had got
their liberty. They could now throw
the ball overland and free-armed.
Having a box to get running start
and a shorter line to the plate than at
present, they developed unprecedent-
ed speed. 1t needed more catchers
than pitchers for a first-class team, so
hard was this delivery on hands. The
catchers took up the newfangled glove
with enthusiasm. Manufacturers
made them larger and larger, but still
the fingered glove did not quite serve
the purpose. In 1888, Jim White, a
third baseman, sewed a leather plate
on the face of his infielder's glove
and got thereby good results with hot
liners. Immediately the big catcher's
mitt, claimed by two or three different
became a feature of the
game.

FATE OF SOME PINS.

ted, 81 can tell you what becomes Of
some of them.
"The filter uses many pins in pin
ming up seams. She may carry about
with her a big cushion stuck full of
pins, handy to get at, or she may
have a paper of pins hanging down
from her belt, and when she fits she
finds use for many pins.
"She pins and pins and pins, and
sometimes in reaching for pin or in
pinning or in taking pins she drops
one. But she doesn't stoop to pick
that pin up, for that would be waste
of time and effort; she simply let's
that pin lie where it fell and reaches
to her cushion or the paper of pins
that she carries for another, and so

"And then does somebody at the
end of the day when they straighten
things out pick up these pins and save
them? No. 1t wouldn't pay. 1t would
take time to pick them up, and time,
labor, costs money. It Is cheaper to
buy new pins than 1t would be to
pick and save these pins that have
been dropped.
$50 these dropped pins are not pick
ed up, they are simply swept out with
the rest of the litter, and that Is the
last of them: There must be hun
dreds of fitting rooms, and they would
account for the disappearance of at
least a few thousands of pins daily. !"
