Only lately liavo Philadelphians be

appearance of the (junkers as we knew
them; only lately has it been brought
home to us that a gradual obliteration
of the old uncompromising orthodoxy
has set in which means the ultimate
absorption of the sect. Even now’, rare
as is the old garb on the streets where
it was such a common sight not so
many years ago, the assertion that the
society is diminishing would meet with
doubt and hesitation. We are so famil
iar with the Quaker, he is so necessary
and potent a type in Philadelphia, that
we would not accept the warrant even
of statistics, yet, now that the visible
limit has been reached, what can we do
but awake to the change? We see few
broad brimmed hats and drab bonnets
where we once saw many. Of those
who wear them, the most are old and
trembling.
If there are young Quakers, how are
we to recognize them.’ Not by their
dress, at any rate, except in so far as
plainness of cut and sobriety of color
still rule the taste of Friends* whether
wealthy cr in moderate circumstances.
The distinctive costume is being laid
aside, with many of the distinctive cus
toms. And why? Eecause the society is
losing its control over its younger mem

Croup.
There are three kinds of croup :
Simple, membranous and spasmodic.
Of the last I know nothing except
that burning waved under the nos
trils of the sufferer are said to bring
speedy relief. In the simple form of
this complaint the throat fills with
phlegm, causing suffocation and chok
ing. In the second a membrane
grows across the lower part of the
trachea. It is only a malignant type
of the first, and, in both, relief is se
cured by vomiting. Any one having
the care of a ‘-croupy child" will soon
learn to rely upon some of the many
remedies. The simpler these are the
better for the child, for croup is a
local trouble, and it often takes lon
ger to recover from the ettect of the
strong medicine given than from the
disease itself.
The first thing to do when a child
has croup is to get it beside a stove
or register where it may inhale hot
air, put it into a warm bath, or place
the feet and hands in warm water and
apply a hot compress over the throat
and chest, meanwhile administering
emetics. Some find a cold applica
tion to the chest very effective, but I
know many mothers are afraid to try
it. My favorite application is skunk's
oil well rubbed in. If I use tin's soon
enough and take the child into a room
so hot 1 can hardly endure, it is often
all that is necessary. If the trouble
increases. I warm equal parts of mo
lasses and lard together and give
freely, until vomiting 15 produced ;
after that do nothing except keep the
patient in the hot air. But what I
most depend upon is powdered alum.
While the child is struggling and cry
ing I can manage to place this on the
back of the tongue, and it never fails
to bring relief.
One lady tells me she uses melted
butter to produce the vomiting ; an
other that she has settled upon equal
parts of glycerine and lemon juice
which she keeps bottled and ready
for use. I have known of cruel
measures being resorted to in the
croup. A neighbor once called in the
night saying their child was suflering
from an attack of it, and he wanted
hive syrup. I recommended my rem
edies and gave him a supply; but
went over an hour afterwards to find
the child lying limp and ghastly pale.
They thought my stuff too simple,
and had given the poor little creature
tobacco tea. They could not under
stand, either, why the child remained
ill so long after the croup was van
quished, but I did, and felt like en
tering a complaint to the authorities
to prevent further cruelties.
I know just what a terror that
hoarse cough brings to the mother
and how, realizing that whatever is
done must be done quickly, she is apt
to become excited and nervous. But
I beg her to remember that in simple
croup the child is not sick all over.
The throat merely fills with mucus,
much as the nose often will, and we
must work for two objects, namely, to
equalize the circulation and produce
vomiting. M. J. Smith.

What My Little Daughter Is to Me.
She is my sunshine when she takes
my hand ; she is my blue sky without
a cloud when she lifts her little arms
to me. When I rest my finger tips
upon her little shoulder and walk by
her side, she needs no telling to make
her feel that it is her strength which
is supporting mine, for a grown man
is a weak thing, and there is no prop
like a child. I know that her little
heart beats faster when I lean upon
her, for one day she told me so ; and
her pride in the telling was a gallant
bit of fuss and parade. Such per
turbation, such a pother with small
arms, such a robustiousness of small
actions, was never seen before in such
a small body! I gazed in wonder
until I was forced to told her in my
arms to quiet her.
This little child, this little pearl
from heaven, this daughter of her
mother’s gray eyes, is as free of human
sin as is a ray of Nature’s moonlight
on the water, or as are the little
beams of the little break-o'-dav which
issues from the leaves of every white
rose. My voice grows soft and sweet
when it mingles with hers in speech.
I am certain, then, that I am a good
man.
I remember, many years ago—al
though it was only last summer—that
my soul was sunk in doubt, save that
it believed itself a clod. But what
despondency could stand against the
refutation in her crystal eyes ? For
they are windows into sinless skies
where dwell the angels and God.
She is my answer to every hope which
wings its way heavenward. She is my
latar, and at night my once stubborn
knees are glad to bend before the
sweet picture of her slumber. As I
watch her then some fairy’s hand

SENATOR JOHN T. MILNER.
o
Sometimes our hearts are so sad
dened that tears fail to portray our
sorrow; and it seems difficult for us
to weep with those who weep and
mourn with toose mourn. When we
consider the frailty of our natures
and the certain tendency of our bodies
to waste away and finally crumble to
dust, especially those whom we love
the most, it seems that surely there
is a time to weep and a time to
mourn ; yea, and a time to how our
heads in humble submission to an All
Wise Creator, who doeth all things
well.
Senator John Turner Milner, of
New Castle, Alabama, was a most re
markable man, who surely possessed
all the attributes of nobility. He
possessed a mind far superior to the
ordinary. He was quick to discern
the right from the wrong, with a far
seeing eye and perfect judgment,
always relying upon his God for suc
cess. This gave him a most happy
combination, by honest toil and deep
study, to accumulate a splendid for
tune. Yet his sublime nature, being
plain, candid and generous, his vast
means were used in a great measure
to alleviate the wants of others. The
poor were never turned away from his
door empty-handed, and those who
knew him best loved him most.
Senator Milner was born in Pike
county, Georgia, on the 29th day of
September, 1826, upon the ground
where Barnesville now stands, long
before there was any town there, his
father, Willis G. Milner, being among
the pioneers of this section. In his
early childhood schools were very
scarce here, and of course his chances
for an education were slim. The
most training that he had in this line,
at that early day, was from Prof. K.
AV. Wells, who was the father of our
lamented Harry AVells. At the age
of seventeen Senator Milner entered
the State Lfniversity at Athens, Ga.,
and led his class for three years, when
he was forced on account of failing
health to give up his studies, and
thus lost his senior or graduating
course. In order to regain his health
he remained quietly at home, and al
though his father was in good circurn
stances, he did not hesitate to do any
hard labor that was to be done on his
father’s farm. In fact for three years
or more he was considered a regular
hand, and it proved to be the means
of completely restoring his health.
In the spring of 1849 he undertook
the perilous trip across the Indian
Territory to California in search of
gold, and drove an ox team all the
way across those plains. Returning
home in 1852 he formed an acquain
tance with George Hazelhurst, a civil
engineer of note, and engaged with
him to help survey the Muscogee rail
road from Macon to Columbus. In
this capacity he began at the bottom,
using an axe and carrying the chain.
It was not long, however, before he
was promoted, and lie and George
Hazlehurst were close friends.
After finishing this survey Senator
Milner, knowing that railroading was
in its infancy in the then new state of
Alabama, cast his fortunes with that
state, and became one of the foremost
men in railroad circles in Alabama
and there is hardly a railroad in Ala
bama that is not indebted to him for
its existence.
He was a member of tlie Alabama
senate for many years and could have
remained there had it not been for
poor health. Many of her best and
most wholesome laws were conceived
in his brain.
“Oft we sigh for the touch of a
vanished hand and the sound of a
voice that is still.” Litti.e Ben.

our army, for if the packers had been
unable to work there would have been
no way of getting supplies to the front.
