Finding no ushers, we asked a pleasant-faced old man to show us a seat. He replled, “Oh. thee can sit anywhere thee likes” So we seated ourselves and, while wait- ing for the congregation to assemble studied the surroundings. The 1, square room was fur~ nished with some painfully straights backed benches and mothing else, il we except a huge stove. The many- paned windows looked out on the quiet burying-ground and beyond that “the everiasting hills.” There was no at- tempt at ornamentaticn; mo dash of color to relieve the monotonous grey walls and benches. On the floor was a earpet of dullest red; on the benches, cushions, covered with brown cambric, having little wads of grey flanne] in place of but- tons. What they were stuffed with was a_question which baffled the im=- aginaiion, but we could testify that it was something sufficiently hard to banish all dreams of luxury and ease. Presently the congregation arrived, not two or three at a time, whole families came and seated themselves, the women and childden on the front benches, the men somewhat back of them. 4 With one exception, they were not clad in the' Quaker costume but in the ordinary dress of the day; only quiet colors were seen, soft greys and dull browns predominating; even the flowers In the hats of the women were of eern or light brown, with here and there heliotrope. The children looked very quaint in these sober colors, which were reliev- ed by an occasional bit of red or blue trimming. An old man took his seat on the facing the congrega- face beneath it was handsome and good; a lofty brow and strong, sweet mouth, and kindly eyes that seemed to have caught their color from his costume—we called them Quaker grey. He was presently joined by a younger man whose costume and face were mance makes the whole world kin,” rd ws immediately. felt an affection~ ate interest in the two young people and wished to know the meaning of the smile. Surely, that sedate maiden was not carrying. on a mild flirtation! And the young man, washea Friend? or someone without the fold who was disturbing the meditations of the fair uakeress Ve eitence was 50 deep that it could be felt. ‘Someone changed his posi- tion and the creaking of the bench announced the fact to all. A little girl strayed off toward Dreamland; the mother aroused her and the gentle whisper was heard all over the room. We quite longed to break the silence, but at length it threw its charm around us and we too meditated. Therq was something very restful about the quiet room and the serene faces looking so guod and contented, | so remote from the rush and hurry and worry of the age, reminding us of the lines in Whittier's. poem, “The Eternal Goodness”: “Oh, triengs, with whom my feet have tro The quiet aisles of prayer, Glad witness to your zeal for God And love of man I bear.” It may have been in just such an hour that he thought: “I know not where His islands lift Their fronded palms in air; I only know I cannot drift Beyond his love and care.” How long we eat thué I do not know: it certainly did not seem as though an hour had passed when heard behind us the opening and shutting of a watch. At that signal the two clders silently and affection- Passing out into the warm sunshine we saw, waiting before the quaint lit- tle meeting house, an aggressively modern automobile and we instinct- ively thought again of the fair maiden and the handsome young man.

Several old ladies, wearing black dresses and boa~ nets and grov blanket shawls assumed a devout attitude and became oblivious to all around them. The children sat like little statues with folded hands and downcast eyes, which were some- times raised for a.shy peep at the strangers “within their gates.” Our attention was attracted to a beautiful young woman who recalled the description of Priscilla, the Puritan maiden. - She was “modest, and simple and sweet’—and made her little corner of the humble room “beautiful with her settled dear to Commodore Perry’s Men. Announcing the death of Edward AM Caraway, a Boston paper says he was probably’ the last survivor of the men who were with Commodore Perry in the famous Japan expedilion of 1853. We cannot state how many_survivors there are, but Stephen E. Knight of Post 5, a well known resident of Lynn, is one of them, and Henry Schrow of Post 166, Everett, is another.

One stone wasin memory of a brave soldier who fought in the civil war. Underneath the name and date were the words, “he has crossed the river and 1s resting under the trees.” 1In a gunny corner was the grave of a young woman who dled at the age of twenty-four; on her simple headstone was the ingeription, “I have found Him whom my soul loveth.” It seem- ed like a benediction and was an ap- propriate ciose to the morning’s ex- perience. Preserve Uniformity. Since the national pure-food law was enacted 39 states have put their food laws in harmony with it. With two exceptions, all the other states have steadily rejected every bill proposed which was not in harmony with the national act. The exceptions are Ne- braska and North Dakota. Each has a law requiring the marking of weights on packages. The Nebraska law is in the courts on a test as to constitu- tionality.

Caraway was a native of Salem, and born in 1837. The other two above mentioned are about the same age. The name of Perry has always been held in honor in the American navy. Christopher Raymond Perry became tle of Lake Erle. Matthew Galbraith Perry, another son, was the command- er of the expedition to Japan, and on March 3y, 1854, concluded a treaty of amity, peace and protection to Ameri- extracting fiber from banana plants. A company is being organized, a pat- ent and concession applied for, and a considerable portion of the banana plants of the district purchased. It is said that the fiber is good for use on with the bills which are before it re- quiring that all packages be marked as to weight. Action of this kind woyld destroy the uniformity in food laws, which s so desirable, for it is not to be expected that any two states would treat the subject in the same way. We would have the same con- fusion in respect to general food laws before the national act was put on the Patents and Public. ‘When a patent is of universal use, It seems that a board of experts should decide what royalty the Iinventor should have on " the invention, and should be specific statutes to the effect give some return to the people for the protection afforded him and should not, on the contrary, use that protection as a means of pillaging soclety.
