not only abandoning the broad
brimmed Iclt hat and poke Linnet,
but are dropping the use of "thee"
and "thou'' in conversation.
This change was inevitable. Bui
before it goes too far i might be
well for the historians and savants
to make an attempt to preserve for
future generations a picturesque
record, such as modem invention
has made ixjssihlc, oi Quaker garb
and speech.
Let a graphophoiie, together with
a first-class picture machine, be eni
ploved. Then obtain the services
of some obliging Iteiiben and Cyn

should be instructed to speak a ser
ies of dialogues in natural manner,
accompanied by such motions as
would give life to the pictures.
while the talking machine recorded
the language.
The Quaker as he was, is a prec

His style, maoner and method ot
