The Quaker Bonnet.

I have heard that there is as much
technique in the making of the bonner
Of the olden pattern for the Friends
as there is in the japanese art o.
drinking tea. In Ohio there Is q sec
ton that wears the Quaker garb with
the bonnet; there is another in Iowa
that still keeps to the characteristic
costume; in NewYork in q settlement OF
both sides of Lake Cayuga are Friends
who follow the simple, historic fash.
ion and in Fairhope, Ala, single tax
settlement very largely settled by
Friends, are others Much importance
Is attached to what is called the "ex
preston" Of the bonnet. In the very
simplicity there Is quite as much room
for the manifestation of a particular
taste as In the more elaborate millin
cry of 1.-THE worlds people" Even to
half hair things must be right. The
finished product comes in for a close
critical scrutiny at every possible an
gle. The true Friend abhors display
and acknowledgements, and, therefore,
she does not care to have it known
when a fresh bonnet is bought. That
is why each must be the same as the
one that preceded it.-Philadelphia
Public Ledger.

MUCH DIFFERENCE IN HUM0R
Brand Highly Thought OF in One Coun.
try Is Not Always Appreciated
in Others.

When Coleridge said, mo mind is
thoroughly well organized that is de-
ficent in the sense of humor," he ex-
pressed conviction that seems com
mon to all civilized men, and makes
each nation take pride In its humor
and perhaps suspect that other nations
enjoy a somewhat inferior brand. Yet
comparisons of humor shows, broadly
speaking. that the peoples Of the world
are much alike. In the Tourist, pub
lished In Tokyo japanese author, for
example, remarks that humor sis in
deed the flower of life, and life with
out it would be as dreary as spring
without its blossoms. To Illustrate, he
translates a number of japanese anec
dotes, funny storics," as the United
States might call them, but one does
not smile over them. Neither, on sec
ond thought, does one smile over many
of the funny stories" in American
magazines and newspapers. Humol
which really amuses is everywhere
rare and precious, a Flower OF life
as the japanese gentleman POLITICALLY
puts it, but growing up in company
with great many weeds.-ChristiaD

Understood 1t.

The New Highlander uses the word
natural" to describe one who was
unfinished ut birth with the, usual
and indispensable quantity of brains.
Prof Burt G. Wilder, the distinguish
ed zoologist, tells an amusing story
that turns on countryman's mistak-
ing the unfamiliar word naturalist"
for the familiar word natural"
A few years after his arrival in
America, Agassiz was one of small
party of Harvard professors who
traversed the White Mountain region
in a carriage driven by the country
man. Three Of them were vivacious,
restless, and on the lookout for speci-
mems. They would call a halt, leap
from the vehicle before it stopped,
dash over the fields, and return with
prizes in their boxes, in their hands
and pockets, and even pinned upon
their hats. The fourth, Prof. FELTON,
the brotherin-law of Agassz, sat
quietly in his corner of the carriage
reading a fayorite Greek author.
When the bewildered driver could
stand 1t no longer be elected from
FELTON, information that led him to
view the behavior of the others with
compassionate liberation. AT the close
of the day he thus conveyed his in
depreciation to the innkeeper:
II drove the qucerest lot you ever
saw. They chartered like monkeys.
They wouldn't keep still. They jump
ed the fences, tore about the fields,
and came back with their hats cover
ed with bugs. / asked their keeper
what allied them; he said they was
naturals, and, iudgn' from the way
they acted, should say they was."-
