Mrs. Crossthwaite was not the only 3 ,one to admire her daughter. Barbara was the youngest one of several chil- dren, but the others were all settled in homes of their own, and as the years advanced and health declined the youngest child seemed nearer her mother’s heart than all the rest. Bar- bara was a charming young girl. There was /no mistake about that. Her dainty apparel set forth her trim fig- tionate daughter and lovable maid. Meantime her brisk steps had brought her to the various points where her purchases were to be made, and her homeward trip was begun.

Most of us lose sight of the faect that every day must be a good day if God madé it; and that a good day for agriculture is not always good for business or a ball game, A There 18 no time which emphasizes the pleasure of hearth and home like stormy weather. If'we never needed a refuge our love and appreciation of home would naturally be weakened. Too much fair weather might prove to be a bane instead of a blessing. It is a meteorological fact that not over one-third of the days in a year are clear—nature needs more shade than sunshine. It is also to be seen that an aver- age rain of 44 inches, with an average of less than an inch a week, there are not many heavy rainfalls. There is a lot of so-called “dull, gamp weath- er” which adds to the attractions of the hearth and discourages any ten- dency to be satisfied with calling home ;:w place where we may hang our ats, NOT AN UNPRECEDENTED SITU- ATION. The trouble England is now facing in Ireland is not unprecedented or un- solvable. The Ottawa Citizen points the mother country to a similar sit- uation In Switzerland and the just way | in which it was settled. “It 1s known,” says The Citizen, “that the Canton of Appenzell in Switzerland was once occupied by Protestants and Catholics, who did not get on very well together, and finally agreed to separate. The Cath- olics concentrated in the center and the Protestants formed 4 ring outside them, which are now known as the Inner and Outer Rhodes, having as their respective capitals Appenzell and Herisau. They thus form two commu- nitiés which may be conveniently con- trasted or compared. Protestants admire the wealth and prosperity of the outer ring, Catholics the simpli- city and beauty of the inner core. “The Valols, another of the Swiss cantons, ‘a@opted’ a similar method" Wwhen the different religions became eonvinced that they could rot stay together. They determined to sep- arate and to take a vote by which the minority was to move onto the Paya de Vaud and the majority to remain where they were. The Protestants ‘were more nunferous, but the Catholics ‘were better organized and won - the election. The Valois still remains the miost Catholic of all the Swiss éan- - tons, and the Pays de Vaud is. con- sidered to be one of the most pros- perous and successful.” ICRT Il There is a peaceful way out—the #iving of security to each section in their religious action by making them independent of one another, OUT-OF-DOOR LIFE. It is in the interest of heaith to spénd a few hours in thé open. air every day of the warm season. The question where shall I go this summer can be easily settled. If there is nowhere else to go 'a sahitary back- yard will do much more for anyone than an unsanitary shore, lakeside or ‘ mountain resort. 5 An able writer recently uttered this truth: “An hour in a hammock {s & vaeation in itself, more of a vaca- tion than a day's excuraion at half- rates for thé rommd trip, everything included, and don't miss the train.” We see the point. The hammeek in- vites rest—does not inspire omne to rush; it promotes meditation and takes oné to the land of nod without a jar. It i the vehicle of sweet repose. Rat most of us need is fr now—nobody minds if it Is wholly forgotten. EDITORIAL NOTES. The ‘dogs that are going mad now under the reign of the dog star are the dogs of war. Governor Baldwin believes a good dependable pair of legs are better for a man than an autemobile cushion. The man on the corner says: “T like to see a man about his business; but usuaily he doesn’t care to see me.” Europe, getting ready to slay a half a million men, doesn’t seem to be as highly civilized as we have imagined. A farm paper says:> time to get rid of old hens! are' bringing a good price in the mar- ket! A bull-moose guaranty of its polit- ical conventions: “Strictly hand-picked delegates and rubber stamped resolu- tions.” The democrats have not yet claimed the big crops as evidence of the ad- ministration’s efficiency, but doubtless they will. 4 England disturbs all the European nations by sending her naval fleet on a secret mission. She lets big guns speak for her. Editor Kelway of the Brooklyn Eagle has capped the climax by re- ferring to Col. Roosevelt as “a reced- ing reminiscence.” No summer girl would now welcome the young fellow who used to hire a horse and buggy in the good old times and take his girl out tg ride, Kings are of so little use in war | that King Peter of Servia took him- self off instead of taking himself se- riously when the war broke out.

Many a bad boy of the schools has become a man of great learnirg and power; and many a good boy of the schools has spent most of his life doing time in prison. The famous dunces of history st outshine ihe juvenile precocity of their time. Learning how to live and how to make a living is of first importance and the other learning should not be neglected. Most men go wrong because they have never been set right. Tke other day | saw a Painted Lady garden and ‘light on the staple in it as though it preferred the position to any flower. 1 wondered why at first, but ‘l( became apparent its object was rest and there was more heat and less ex- Posure and peril on the cement brick staplc than upon gn open blossom. Tae | butterfly likes to rest in peace and safety as well as the birds. Perhaps. she enjoys life as well as you or I al- though she lives fewer days than we may years. She knew the location of plants and the fragrance of . flowars before man had an eye for color or a taste for beauty. She knows no home; only enjoys haunts. She sleeps in trees or shrubs or grasses, and has no jcare of her progeny—never visits the j Place where they spent their worm- «days; but'they can find the same sus- taining food plants their parents found. This butterfly finds just as much pleasure on a sun-warmed iron staple as on a lavender thistle bloom. The butterfly life is one of peril, not {one of pleasure. The spiders and the hawk-flies pounce upon them at every turn and find them an easy prey and a sweet morsel. The Painted Lady butterfly is older than America and a cosmopolitan as well as an American. It is known to every country and many islands of the sea. Here is a Prof. Noyes who comes forward to tell us that the world con ple, and that the increasing rate is 12,000,000 souls a year, which would add every ten years a population to the globe greater than the population of the United States, It may be well to remark this is not the birthrate, but the excess over the death rate. The death rate at 17 per 1000 foots up 28,- 900,000 a year, so it is apparent the total birth rate of the world is almost 41,000,000 - souls. When the world reaches an era of permanent peace and go0d fellowship, and there is no war jand fewer pestilences something diffe ent has got to be done. an able writer declares “the nations have got to get together in a system of co- operation and drop this cut-throat Svs- tem of competition because a thous- and people ‘perfectly organized can live comfortably where a hundred un- organized people.would starve.” Tae hog in man has got to take both feet out of the trough and learn to give the titman an equal chance for life and enjoyment.

Most good in this world »Bas been done by the poor in purse and the rich in spirit. What does the average man know of conspiracies and conspirators? The social conspiracies by far outnumber the commercial and political. Some onspiracies which appear to be smail affairs at the start prove to be big with disaster at the finish. The con- spirators be they male or female are moved by motives the honesty of which they do not question and seem to be blind to the injustice or Im- morality of them. Conspiracy is one of the rankest products of seifishnes; ‘When mamma conspires good catch for daughter and the motive is purely material and loveless, the re- sult is seldom lovely. It is the desur- able male victim who lives to learn hell has no fury like the fury of a maddened woman. Whatever the con- spiracy it has beneath it a hidden de- sign and a combination of wickedness which have to be answered for some- where. People who profess piety do not think deep enough to realize the perfidy and immorality of the game they are engaged in, and no one ven- tures to hint of the misery which comes of such unholiness. SUNDAY MORNING TALK ANGELS OF SUMMER TIME. One of the angels is beauty. Woods, ! fields, flowers, are packed with love- | liness; God's largesse fo man be he rich or poor, prince or peasant.

The season's gifts are scattered in remote corners as lavishly as along the broad highway.Flowers ‘“born to blush unseen in some secluded thicket are as beautiful as any in a million- aire’'s garden. Food is comparatively { abundant, the earth yielding her in- crease to any who have taken tne trouble to scratch the surface and throw In the seed. Work is generaliy plentiful and performed under health- ful conditions. There is air to breathe and water to swim in: one need not wrestle with coal bills nor pay for thick clothing: The poor man has a | chance in summer. Another angel of summer is freedom. In the harsher seasons one is “cribbed, cabined and confined.” The four walls of a house shut us in from perfect liberty of movement. One is i in the bondage of furnace fires and iron water pipes and storm windows. Now the fires are out, the doors are open.

Her fear of the shower blinded her to the fact that the porch was aiready occupied, and she almost fell into, the arms_'of a young man who stood crowded into the corner of the vesti- bule ruefully contemplating a new Panama hat which he held in his hand. Plainly the hat was both new and high-priced, and he could not be ex- pected to enjoy the right of his im- maculate Panama, impaled as it was on the pearl arrow of Barbara's parasol as was the result of her excited rush into the dim enclosure. “Oh, sorry,” broke from Barbara's she saw what she had done. not see you at all” It is of no conse- whatever,” was the polite re- "I could not well be seen in the dimness. Can I be of any service to you?” Barbara explained that she was in- tending to go inside the libary, and the shower would very likely be over by the time she left. But it was not and she was not unwilling to have the pro- tection of a more substantial umbrelia as its owner escorted her to her own home. Before they reached that domicile Raymond Styles knew he had met some one to be remembered and also that possibly they might meet agan in the near future at Bar Harbor. *I shall look for your parasol on the beach. I should know it among a hun dred, I am sure. Barbara again ex- pressed her regret that it had proved the ruin of his hat. “I shall feel that I owe you a Panama whenever you claim it,” she said. = Mrs. Crossthwalite and her daughter were soon at their favorite summer home, for they were old-timers on the Maine coast. Mr. Styles was delayed ps “I d&id i ! missed him from the group she kept it to herself. His absence was much de- plored by some of the guests who knew him and greatly anticipated his ar- rival. So it chanced he reached Bar Harbor only to be told that Barba | and her mother had left the day pre | ious for home. | _The following winter Mrs. Crossth- | waite was ordered to Floride, for the east winds of Eoston were too vigorous | for her, and of course Barbara attend- { ed her as usual.

Time went on, and sure enough that parasol came again The succeeding summer found Bar bara visiting an old-time friend and schoolmate whose home was now a delightful California ranch. On its broad veranda the ladies rested one day after a long walk, when a sudden gust of wind seized Barbara’s fateful parasol and swept it quickly out of her hand. It landed at the feet of a pass er-by, who estatically restored it to its owner, axclaiming at the same time, “That. blessed parasol! I should know it anywhere, and but for it A should have missed you, for I leave to-morrow | for the East. Will you let me walk | with you this evening?” | Barbara granted a ready compliance, nd evidently enjoyed the evening. You know you owe me a Panama hat” laughed Raymond as he left her at ter friend’s home, “and I mean to claim it when I meet you In Boston.” “Indeed, and at what price do you value your Panama?" that's all,” was the modest reply. “Isn’'t that rather a high price for a hat?” queried Barbara, “but under the cireumstances, T'll agree.to the price.

The colonists of Massachusetts bay had no idea of religious toleration, and they were especially severe against the Quakers, who had settled in that section. They even went so far as to make a law which provides that any master of a ship bringing any known Quaker within the juris- diction should forfeit 100 pounds ster- ling, and should give security to carry 1ch Quakers back to the place whence he brought them. 3 In October, 1638, a law was Intro- duced into the general court provid- ing that every person of the “cursed sect of the Quakers,” who should be found within the jurisdiction, should be immediately imprisoned until the | next court of assistants, at which they should have a legal trial and, being convicted to be of the sect of Quakers, should be banished on pain of death. There was no lack of victims. Three persons were found within the juris- diction, and they were immediately imprisoned. They were Mary Dyer, ! Marmaduke Stephenscn and William { Robinson. They were brought before |the general court, on Oct, 19, 1659, | “for sedition and presumptuously ob- truding themselves upon us.” All three acknowledged themselves to be Quak- ers, and on the following day they were condemned to die. The day set for their execution was Oct. 22. When they were led forth to execution they were surrounded by a guard of armed men and several horsemen, with drums beating to pre- vent the multitude from hearing what they might say. The two men were executed first and. the rope had al ready been attached to Mary Dyer's neck, when a reprieve arrived. She was released and sent out of the col- ony on the promise that she would never again return, but she arrived {again in the spring of 1660. She was immediately sent to jall and was or {dered to be executed the next day. When she was upon the scaffold it was tcld her that if she would return i home she might come down and save iher life. To this she replied: “Nay. 1 cannot, for in obedience to the will of the Lord I came, and in His will I abide faithful unto the death.” Mary Dyer had her wish gratified. But these three were not the only ones to suffer. Willlam Leddra was the next. After several severe whippings and a tedious imprisonment, he was banished, but rejurned and was brought to trial in March, 1661, before the court of assistants of Boston. | While the ‘trial was being conducted Winlock Christison, another banished Quaker. suddenly and most unexpect- edly entered and took his stand by the side of the prisoner. When the gov- ernor asked him why he was there, he replied: “I have come here to warn you that vou should shed no more | innocent blood: for the blood that you {have shed already cries to the Lord God for vengeance to come upon you.” Christison was immediately com- manded to prison, and Leddra was of- fered his life if he would promise to ! gepart and return no more. Refusing this, sentence of death was upon him, to take effect on the léth of March. Thend Chgsfl.'on was brought to trial, and at the same ses- sion Judah Brownes and Peter Pler- son were indicted. These exécutions of Quakers had caused the utmost dissatisfaction in Massachusetts and the magistrates be- came conscious of their mistake. Pub- lic_sympathy was turned toward the sufferers. Meanwhile accounts of ! these proceedings had been carried by BURKE, 37-47 Main Street “vagabond who were to be seized by carried before the next the shire or any com- missioner, and then sentenced “to be stripped nakeq' from the middle up- ward and be tied to a cart’s tail in the town where they were found and whipped through that and the other towns where they were found.’ In 1662, three Women, Anne Cole- man, Mary Tomkins and Alice Am- brose, were tied to a cart's tail in Dover and whipped with ten stripes in each town. TRhis was the method of punishment resgrted to from this on, but it gradually grew less and less and eventually the Quakers were as free to worship in usetts as in mny other of the golonles then existing.
