The Quaker ShopoirI.

L bought this ribbon" said the
shopper, from girl who sprinkled
her conversation with Quaker 'thee's'
and thou's.' l talked with her longer
than was necessary. just to hear those
Quaker expressions. She was the first
person l ever have seen behind the
counter, who theed and thoud her
customers. l have bought goods of
girls who spoke in every European &C
cent imaginable, not to mention our
different American dialects, but the
Quaker phrases were a novelty. l let
the girl know that l considered her a
curiosity in a shop.
Most people do she said. EN-
ployers do not like the Quaker speech
in store, because it makes the
speaker so conspicuous. For bust
ness purposes l try to break myself
of the habit, but the quaint old words
will slip out now and them"

TeleQraphers' Cramp.

An interesting feature OF telegraph
ers' cramp is that certain letters are
nearly always the stumbling block.
The most frequent are &C" and "Y'-
that is, the code signals used for these
letters. When a sender begins to be
conscious" about so common a letter
as &C." his case sooa becomes a hope
less one. Another form of cramp at.
tacks the receiver Of the message. It
takes the form Of inability to write
fast enough to take down a message
quickly transmitted. This is easily un-
derstood when it is remembered that a
receiver often has to write continuously
to code dictation. so to speak, for
hours at time. The strain Is enor.
Gus. and leads fairly commonly to what
is practically form OF nervous break

Men as Church Goers.

Denying that this is an irreligious
age. the archbishop of Canterbury has
oeen suggesting that religion mani
tests itself in different ways now from
those in which it used to be expressed.
Agreeing with him. the Pail Mall Ga.
.ette admits the falling off in attend
dnce at church. particularly on the
part of one sex. But this male defec-
ton is not altogether new thing.
When Sydney Smith preached in Ed'n.
burgh he took his text from the
Psalms. "Oh. that men would therefore
praise the Lord'-and. looking round
upon the almost exclusive feminine
congregation. he put a deliberate
stress upon the third word of the sen.

he asked.
