AN EVOLVED SPECIMEN.
*Look upon this picture, fen it is typical.
Ib ie a Sunday morning and a youug man
-and a young woman are nearing the gate
that leads into the quiet meeting house.
She le ae clear a real type of the " summer
cgirl " as the Berman could afford. Her
attire is light ana airy, grew -dui and ex-
ceedingly bec.amiag. Her French heele
click Lightly upon the pavement ae
she tripe happily along, with plainly
,but little thought or heed for the solemnity
of, the day or the occaslen, The
lseefoung man at her aidewho engroaee her
'attention and who gaily teies her of come
occurrence thee onuses her face to bs
wres.thed in smite., ie also fashionably at-
tired. Hie suit is plainly the product of a
" Broadway cutter," for it fits him to per-
fection. His carefully craaae1 trousers, his
.walking stick, the jeuaby way he wears his
hat, all betoken more bhervehe for dress than
rSabbabh doctrine, and he laughs merrily an
they turn•in the meeting hauee door.
TSE OLDEN RIND.
'Behind them Dome another man and
woman, very different in dress and. bearing.
They aro older than those that precede—
much older. They border upon the Deleted
reprice of three soore years and tea, Their
garmente are -severely simple. He wears a
broad elouoh hat, deep frock neat and wide
broueets, all of the nomhreeb and dullest
black. Hie hands are cheeped behind
,him and he uttera no word to her who is
•beside him as they move (pitiably and
peacefully to the door of God's house. His
thoughts are of the day -anti hour. Her
edresa is of a sett gray material and is plainly
emade. The large bonnet that shades her
face is of the saran hue. A great gray
shawl thrown lightly aver the shonldere
hides the lines of her farm. There is no
.anisteking her faith.
SERVICES •UrtOlIANGED.
Bat if there has been a falling away from
-the simplicity of attire, for which the first
fathers and mothere of the Society of Friends
eentended, the Sabbath services wibhin the
little meeting house have undergone but
little ohmage.
There is 120 regular, duly appointed and
-paid preacher. The gentle George Fox was
.opposed to a " hireling ministry," and re-
fused to pay tithes therefor. He also
••denied that there was any necessity for a
special ministerial eduoation, and hie fol-
lowers hold moat firmly to this article of
faith to this day. He maintained that the
.only warrant for assuming the office of a
eChriatian minister was the conseionsnees of
the divine summons to enter upon the duties
'oE the office. His followers of the present
day, however, modify that in that minis-
terial aspirants must be examined and en-
•doreed by preparatory meetings before they
oan legitimately excrete° their office in the
«public assemblies.
FREEDOM FROM FORM.
There is no form, no ritual, no liturgy for
the meeting--
Whore
eeting—Whore never hymn is sung,
,'!Nor deep tongued organ blown, nor censer
swung.
:Nor dim light falling through the pictured
pane.
• The need for each worshipper is obedience
to the "still small voice " of God in the
,Iaearb, and the Friend deems thab ib requires
:no oubward sign of love for him other than
;silent humility and goodness in all the tela -
Cone of life. But often the soul bathing
silence of the meeting is broken when "the
spirit moves," and eloquent words and noble
,serntone fall from the lips of gifted men mid
woolen—sermons which aro not forged and
+hammered out by the fight of the study
lamp, bub Dome as words came to the dig.

together, with the addtbion of sherry or
nutmeg, le very nine, bat to have the butter
dieh left upon the table, and the sugar and
wine aleo there, so that each may serve
himself, is a very nice way. In making
apple dumplings, also, it is much better to
oore and halve the apples and parboil them,
havleg them cold when the dough is pat
around them. To steam them is also better
than to boil in the eld•fashioned way, mak-
ing them less web ; but it id very important
that the water should boil all the time, and
that they be dished et the latost possible
mement, and on a hob dieh. The same
sauce as for fritters is very nice with
them.
To Make Good Beef Tea.—Put a calf's
foob in a stew jar and oover with a quarb of
water ; put the jar in a saucepan of boiling
water and let it simmer for eighbeen hours
(e day and a half.) Then take out the
calf's foot, and when the stock le mold strain
off the fat, and add two pounds ef shin of
beef and put the jar in a moderate oven for
two hones, when ib is ready to drink, and it
is delicious.
Braised Liver.—Ona call's liver, one onion,
one stalk of celery, two sprigs of parsley,
terra pint of stook or water, one tablespoon-
ful oe mushroom oatoup, one curet, one bay
leaf, one turnip, quarter pound of larding
perk, one taeleepooufal of butter, one
tablespoonful of Worcestershire sauce,
one tablespoonful of flour. Wash
the liver and lard it the same as a fillet of
beef. Wash and out the vegetables ante
slicoa, and put them in the bottom of a
braising -pan if you have one, if not, in a
deep baking pat ; lay the liver on the bad
of vegetables, add the stook or water, put
a lid over the pan and bake in a moderate
oven for two hours. When done dieh bhe
liver. Put the butter in a frying -pan, stir
it over the fire until a nice brown, add the
flour ; mix and strain the limner from the
other pan into this, which should be about a
half-pint. Stir continually until ib bails,
then add the Worcestershire sauce and
mushroom catsup. Pour over and around
ho liver and serve.
Beef's liver may be braised, bub is never
eo nice as calf's liver.
Celery Sauce,—Mash the contents of the
dripping•pan to a smooth pulp and stir in a
heaping tableepoonfal of dry flour, place the
pan over the tire, stir the contents until
they begin to brown, then gradually stir in
about a pint of boiling water, or enough to
make a good sauce ; season this partially
with salt and pepper, and stir until it ie
smooth and boiling, and serve with the
baked pike.
Rueeten Sauce.—There is nothing more
wholesome at this season of the year than
horse-radieh, which may be intreduoed in
the bill of fare in various ways. For
example, a beofeteak served with Russian
sauce ie very nice. To make the Douce,
molt two teblespoonful8 of butter and blend
with it two tablespoonfuls of flour.When
well mixed, stir in a pint of rioh white
stook. Let bide mixture cook ten er fifteen
minutes, beating continually. Add to this
the juice of half a lemon, a tablespoonful ef
butter, and four tablespoonfuls of horse
radish that has been soaked in vinegar over
night, bub is freed from it by being carefully
drained. Season this with salt and the
merest deet of cayenne pepper.
Veal Loaf (to be eaten cold.)—Chop fine
enough cold veal to meke ono quart. Soke
one pint of stale bread crumbs in one pint
of stock for two hours. Add this to the.
minced veal. Season with half a teaspoon-
ful of pepper, one generous teaspoonful of
salb, one-fourth of a teaspoonful eaoh of
thyme, sweet marjoram and summer savory.
Now add half a oupful of melted batter and
two wall -beaten eggs. Butter a deep baking
pan and pack the mixture into it. Cover
with buttered paper and then place the pan
in another, which should be partially filled
with hob water. Bake in a slow oven for
two home. Let the loaf cool in the pan in
which it is baked, Turn ib out on a flab dish
and garnish with pirsley. lb should be cut
in thin slices with a Sharp knife.—Good
Housekeeper.
Cheese Cakes—Mix together one cup-
ful and a half of grated cheese, the well -
beaten yolks of two eggs, one-tenth of a
teaspoonful of cayenne, one-fourth of a tea-
epoonful of salt and three tableupoonfuls of
water. Roll into a thin sheet enough puff
paste to make a piece about eighteen inches
square. Spread the cheese preparation on
one-half of this and fold the other half over
upon it. Pass the rolling pin over this
several times and then out into pieces about
four incase long and one inch and a half
wide. Bake in a quick oven for fifteen
minutes and eerve hob.—Good l<lousekeep-

Pickled Oysters.—Bait fifty oysters in
their own liquid until they begin to curl,
drain and save the liquor. Take a half pint
of white wine vinegar and half a pint of the
oyster liquor. Pub there on to boil with
tem blades ef mace, one dozen whole oloves,
Came of whole allspice, the same of whole
peppercorns and a dash of cayenne. As
seen as they come to a good, hard boil have
the oysters 1n a glass jar, pour over them
the boiling liquor, cover them °leerily and

time and should be served cold. They will
be ready for use the second day.

ELECTRIC TWIS'TIING.
Speedy Motors Produce the Finest Strings
for Musical Instrumento.
An electrical method of twisting strings
for musical instruments is being utilized in
producing strings for banjoes, guitars,
vieilne, harps, bees viols wed other ntueimal
instruments. The work is done by electric
motors, one machine being used exclusively
for making banjo fourth strings, which are
only .0023 inch thick when finished. It will,
nays "London Inventor," make a siring
40 inches long in 45 seconds, the wire
used for winding bhe silk being .003 inches
think. This fine wire is carried and directed
by hand, and two wires can be worked at
once. On suoh a airing there can be no
fewer than 13,333 coils along 40 inches'
length. The motor used for this purpose
nine ab 2,100 revolutions per minuto,driving
the string machine. by means of fibre gear-
ing, es 18,000 revolutions. Another email
electric motor, which rune at 2,200 revolu-
tions, in used for the malting of violin G
obringe, covered with copper wire ellver-
plated and only .006 inch thick. It is abated
that a man can make 108 strings par heat
with this machine.

to the avoidance of the ropeatoti and sudden

Seasonings for Soups.—Seasonings for
coups may be varied to nixie tastes, the
aimpleet having only salt and pepper,
while the richest may have a little off many
savors, so doliaately blended that no one is
oonsplouous. The best soup is that whose
flavor is made from the blending of many.
For brown soups, dark apices may be
used; for white oyes, mace, aromatic goads,
Dream and curry. Many herbs, either fresh
or dried, such as nage, thyme, eweeb mar-
joram, mint, sweet basil, parsley, bay
leaves, °levee, maoe, mustard, celery seed
and anions, and all choice oataups and

the eggs. Make a French dressing and set
in the toe -box long enough to get cold. Jnet
before ready to serve the salad, pour a little
dressing ever eaoh egg and serve on salad
dishes.
A Bread Padding.—Two maps of bread
ei-nmbe, two eggs, four cups of milk, a little
salt and flavoring to taste. Bake and

WALiiINS, FISHES.
They Do the Business at the Bottom of the
Elver.
The laricaria creeps upon all -fours in the
beds of rivers, says a writer in Saturday
Nighd. This little finny quadruped has a
very singular appearance, moving upon its
four stilts, produced in front of ibe pectoral
fine and of the next pair to them.
The cauloybhe, a Bramilian fish, walks in
thea way for miles in search ef water, when,
es often happens, the pool in which 11 lives
is dried up.
Tee olioabing perch not only creeps along
the shere, bub ascends trees, in search of the
crustacean upon which it feeds. It is found
in Tranqquebar. Ib must have some difficulty
in ascending bhe fan -palms, if ib wore not
provided with numerous little spines or
thorns upon its fins, by means of which 11
suspends itself while olimbing, analog them
like hander. In addition to these peculiari-
ties, it has the power of folding up both
dorsal and anal fine when nob teeing them,
and thus it literally puts its hands in its
psokebs ; for it deposits them in a cavity
in iter body provided by nature en purpose
to receive them when they are not needed
for progression. Nor are these pockets, or
traughs, peculiar to the olimbing perch ;
the land crabs also ponies'., them.
With respect to the latter, anatomists
were formerly puzzled to aoceunt for the
fact of animals whose mode of respiration is
by gills, being able to enlist) no long as they
do out of bhe water, without injury to those
organs ; but a French naturaliab discovered
a caviby or trough in which a small quan-
tity of water is kept, in order to moisten
their gille occasionally.
One species of thie tribe has more than
ono pocket or venial° for that purpose ; an-
other species, the arypede, has a different,
but °gualiy curlew' apparatus—a small
spongy substance, by means of which bhe
animal is supplied with the moisture re-
quired.

iia way, and when the epidemic of la
grippe wept over Canada, Rednere-
villa was nob spared a viaitaiioai. Among
those ati ticked was Mr. George Rose, a life-
long residenb of the village who had already
reached the allotted apan of 1 fa. Mr. Rose
had enjoyed remarkable health =tithe was
tahoa down with an attack of la grippe,
when grave fears were entertained for hie
recovery.. In a few months he recovered

with his aooustomed vigor. Mr. Rose had
scarcely regained his health when he was
seized with another abtaek of the draed die-
ease, worse than the firab. This had a beIl-
ing effect upon him and his family feared
consumption had olaimed him for a victim,
A physician attended him regularly, but

However, all ghat medical skin could
do for him was done, but daily Mr.
Rose's condition grow worse, and in
March of this year his condition was 00
low that his family, like himself, had
given up hope of his recovery. Daring the
last month the general talk, about) the vil-
lage and the surreunding country has been
the remarkable cure of Mr. Rose by the use
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The case
created ouch a sensation that a reporter of
the Ontario, pereonaay acquainted with
Mr. Rose, determined to call on him and
learn the facts of the case from hie own
lips. Mr. Rose was found a picture of
health and activity for one of hie years,
and expressed his entire willingness to tell
hie entire story for the benefit of ethers.
" I am," he said, " a well man, and do not
hesitate to give the credit to Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for saving my life. I had three
attacks of la grippe and continued to grow
worse up'to March of this year. At that
time I was so reduced in flesh and sbrengbh I
could hardly eband alone. In fast I was a
mare skeleton. I could nob eat because I
had no appetite. I could nob Bleep because
my legs and feet became so badly swollen
and cramped that my wife would have to
rub them before I could got rest. The pain
was ab times so violent that I could not re-
frain from screaming, and I would tumble,
aboab in bed and long for day to comp. If
I attempted to get up and walk I was apt to
fall from dizziness. I took medicine from

preferable to my misery. 1 did not think I.
could live more than a few months when
ono day I read in the paper of the Dura of a
man whose symptoms were like
mine. I met say I did not have
much faith in the remedy, but
felt as though it were a last chance. I sent
first for a box, and by the time it was half
gene I found that my appetite was getting
better, and in other respects I could notice
an improvement in my ooudition. By the
time the box was gone there was a still.
further improvement. I continued the use.
of the pills, found. that I could now get a,
good night's sleep and that the cramps and
pains which had formerly made my life
miserable had disappeared. The swelling
left my limbs, the dizziness disappeared and
I felt better than I bad in four years. I
know that it was Pink Pills and them only
that broeght about the change, because r
was taking nothing elan. I have takeninall
eeven boxee, and I feel as good new as Idid
at 40 years of age. Last winter I was so
bad that I could not do my own chores, and
now I can do a good day's work. My
friends congratulate me on my regained
health and I don't hesitate to tell them that
I owe my life to Dr. Williams' Pink Piller.
Many others hereabouts have found similar
banefib. Last spring my niece was looking
pale and feeling weak, stud I advised herr
parents, who were very aneaey about her,.
to try Dr. Williams' Plink Pills. The re-
sult is that she ia now the picture of health.
You may say that I would nob be wibbout
Pick Pllis in the house, for I firmly believe
they will do all that is claimed for them if
they are given a fair trial." In fact ib ap-
peared that Mr. Bose could not say too
mach for Pink Piffle, and ae the reporter
drove away he again remarked, " De not
forgeb to say that I owe my life to Dr.
William' Plnk P111D." In cenvereation
wibh several residents of the village the
statements mode by Mr. Rose were fully
corroborated.

proclamation was changed so that the lndi-.
vidual Cantons mighb do as they pleased*
provided that political crimes were net

for the penalty, and sixteen, or feur fifths

Penalty by death still plays an

counter twenty-two cases sentenced to death,
but the judges usually listen to the
jury's reoommendetiona to meroy. The
number of executions is gradually falling
off. In the fiat decade of the July mon-
archy (1831.40) 301 were officially killed ;.
during the first decade of the Empire
(1851.60), 278 ; during the second (1861.70),.
109. Ili the first decade of the Republic
(1871.80), 107, and from 1881 to 1889, 61.
The death penalty has always been common
in England, not only for murder, bub for
raps, theft, adulteration, elm. In the
beginning of bhle century about a hundred
persons were hanged every year. Since 1830
half of the executions were for murder.
Since 1861, with three exceptions, all
executions have been for murder only. In
Spain, the law of June 1866,1870, alternates
imprisonment far life with the death
penalty. There were 244 executions from
1871 to 1889. The Rueaianlaw ef May5bh,
1866, sets the penalty by death as a punish-
ment for many crimes, called crimes againeb
the State. Murder is not punished by death,
but by penal service in the Siberian mines.
The net result of these statistics shows that
the penalty by death is fast disappearing
from the European law and practice.

Monotony of Diet.
A physician maintains that ib is not
poverty of diet so much as monotony of diet
that exercises an unhealthful influence en
the poor. AS a matter of foot they eat
stronger" food than the rich, more bread,
neat and simple vegetables, bub their cook-
ing is rude, and they eat the same things
the whole year round.
People who are well to do, or who are
better cooks, get more variety with fewer
things, and always have semething to tempt
the appetite. Soup can be made to resemble
greasy dishwater, or it can be made a really
savory and nutritious thing, and there are
a hundred different ways of serving
potatoes. The physician thinks that free
