The Mennonites in Manitoba.

The Mennonite reservation east of the
Red River, and about twenty-five miles
southeast OF Winnipeg, is now as well
populated as any district Of the Province
of Manitoba, and the most recent immi-
grafton has been directed to reservation
of seventeen townships adjoining the
frontier, and extending west of Red River
to Pembina Mountain. The settlement
on the reservation first mentioned, called
Rat River, consists of $50 families, and
on the second reservation, called Dufferin,
450 families have been planted. In ad-
dition thirty three families have been set
tied near Scratching River, and the re-
cent arrival of thirty, five families will go
to Dufferin.
Estimating five to a family, the Men
monte settlements of Manitoba contain
a population of 5,S65, which will doubt
less increase steadily, but by no means
with the volume of the past three years.
The Mennonites who still remain in
Southern Russia, though inclined to emf
crate, in consequence of the termination
of the stipulation exempting them from
military services, are not prepared to sac
ritice their possessions. When they can
sell without disadvantage they emigrate.
The exodus is therefore likely to be graG.
ual, especially as the Russian Govern
ment, while insisting on the right of con-
scriptiou, assents readily to special as
signments of service in Difference to the
Mennonite conscience-such as transport
tation, forestry, and hospital service-very
much as the Qlakers of the United States,
during the late civil war, were subjected
to military service, but relieved from
bearing arms.
The emigrating class of Lutheran Quak-
ers, known as Mennonites, are neither
the rich nor the poor, but are an interme-
diate body, who are, however, by no
means destitute. Mr.. Hespeler estimates
that the sum brought into the province
by the Mennonite immigration is $780,
900, and the recent arrival of thirty-tive
families have not less than $4,000.
There are Mennonite settlements in the
Western States, but the land system there
enforced does not admit of special reser-
vations, and Manitoba has thus been en-
abled to present greater inducements for
this class of settlers. Here the commu-
nifty can organize itself fully according
to its traditions, including the rural vii
lage life of the dorf-or dorp, as we be-
lieve the word is anglicized-a custom
which has great merit socially and indus
trially, and will warrant some fullness of
detail.
A group of families-usually sixteen
in number-take their homesteads sepa-
rately, but proceed to throw them together,
selecting the most desirable situation
for village or dorf, through which a

There Is Danger Ahead

When those usually active little organs, the
kidneys, are neglectful OF their duties and
grow sluggish. Fatty degeneration, Brights
disease, diabetes, and other dangerous mala.
dies, are the result of neglect to remedy this
inactivity by medicinal means. When the
all important functions of the kidneys are
imperfectly discharged, those organs need
stimulating, and the best possible agent for
that purpose - since it performs its office
without exciting them-is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which, in combination with its
tonic and cathartic properties, possesses val
liable qualities as o diuretic. Both kidneys
apd bladder are strengthened by it, and the
vigor which it imparts to them, and the gen.
tie but effectual impulse which it gives to
their operations, is the best possible guaran-
ty against their becoming diseased. The
Bitters are Invaluable in other respects as
we'll as the above, since they remedy general
debility, uterine troubles, chills and fever,
dyspepsia, constipation, gout, rheumatism,
and other ailments.

by further experiments, we gave up Pe,u-

which We had less to do.
Among them, however, was a plant that
we watched with good deal of interest.
In early summer il bore flowers that,
when spread out, measured seven inches
across the throat of lilac, veined with
purple, and the edges banded with green
ofyarying widths. During early fall the
green margin increased in width, until
by late September the flowers were wholly
green. Those blooming still later were
half corolla, half leaf, until at last a 70.
sette of green leaves alone indicated
where the flowers ought to have devel-
oped. In several instances, imperfect
stamens and pistils were formed, sur
rounded by crimped or illshaped leaves
that were neither leaves nor petals. In
others the stamens and pistils grew to.
gether, forming stem which continued
to grow out of the corolla the same as if
there had been flower.
1t is worthy of note that these green.
flowered Petunias were wonders of vigor
the leaves and stems being twice, perhaps
thrice, the size of the self-colorec,
biotched and striped varieties, and the
flowers comparatively very few.
What seem unusual phenomena in
plant growth are by no means so rare as
we suppose. Make a speciality of what
plant soever you will, and watch it close
ly through the season, we will be very
likely to observe pecularties that would
escape ordinary observations. - Rural

Make It Two Dollars,

Col. Ot1o J. Dodds, late member of
Congress from the fourth district of Ohio,
tells good story about call he recently
received AZ his office from man who
claimed 10 be an editor from Arkansas
lie was u very seedy.looking chap, and
appeared as though he had but recently
come of q six weeks spree. Bowing
profoundly, then striking an attitude,
siih one hand on his heart and the other
extending n bAdly-rned plug hat, he ex-
claimed with dramatic air:
Have the honor of addressing the
Honorable OILo j. Dodds!"
my name is Dodds; but | am no
longer an honorable" said the colonel.

"Yes, as you say, to business. am a
printer--I ight say an editor. l am
from the State of Arkansas; the only
State, by the way, able and willing to
support two Governors at the same time.
But l have been unfortunate Much

cruel Juno, and"-
"Juno know how it is yourselfv broke
in the colonel.
"Butfeted by the worlds rude storms,
you see me here stranded wreck.
Scarce three moons past left my office
in charge of my worthy foreman and
sought the peaceful wales and calm rests of
the Muskingum Valley, where my child

Cincinnati. l fell into evil company, and
but why dwell on details9 Enough
that l am-that am-disheartened,

given up everything else that l had, 1

did not send for me, but l have come.
Your name is known and honored from

'Glows on the stars,

And blossoms on the trees
When the National Treasury was threat
ened by body Of greedy Congressman,

the people and those infamous salary
grabbers. Lend me a dollar"
"My dear sir" the colonel fastened to
explain, "you mistake the case entirely
| was one of the grabbers."
"You were!" grasping the colonel's
hand warmly. $50 much the better. Let
me congratulate you that parsimoni-
Gus public could not frighten you out of
what was but a fair remuneration for
your invaluable services. am glad that
your pecuniary circumstances are so
much better than l supposed. Make 1t

And the colonel did. 1t was the only
clear thing for him to do.

RAISING CUcUMBERs.-To make Gu
cumber vices grow and set freely with
fruit, the hill should be well watered
every evening except in wet time. The
cucumber plant needs a great deal OF
moisture, and only when it is plentitully
supplied will it yield fair percentage OF
fruit in healthy condition. BY observa-
ton l found this plant to yield most
abundantly in wet seasons, and taking
such fact for a cue, resolved to test the
practice of watering the vines freely to
insure full crop, and find such practice
resulting in all one could wish to estab-
lish its efficacy.
A Marylander tells me it is the custom
at the South to plant vines along the
banks of ravine or water course, so that
an abundance of water can be obtained
at all times to water the plants In no
other way do they expect full crop.

Care of Harness.

Few farmers realize the care needed
in the proper preservation of leather, and
the lack of knowledge of its require
.ments causes the loss Of many dollars to
the owners of horses. The practice OF
washing harness in warm water is very
damaging, unless coat of oil is applied
Immediately after washing. No harness
is ever so soiled that damp sponge
will not remove the dirt, yet, even
when the sponge is applied, it is
important to apply slight coat Of
oil by the use of second sponge. All
varnishes and blacking that contain the
properties of varnish should be avoided.
When harness loses its lustre and turns
brown, as almost any leather will do after
long exposure to the air, the harness
should be given new coat ofgrain black
first washing the grain surface thorough
ly with potash water, to kill the grease,
and after the grain black, applying oil
and tallow to the surface. This will fast
en- the color and make the leather flexi-
BILE.
Meats foot oil only should be used on
harnesses, and no more should be applied
to the leather than it will absorb, as many
harnesses are injured by applying too
much oil. A superabundance so applied
works out to the surface in hot weather,
absorbing dust and dirt and soon looking
very slovenly.
An excellent harness polish may be
made by breaking in small pieces four
ounces of glue, pouring over 1t in basin
about a pint of vinegar, and letting it
stand until it becomes soft. Take two
ounces of gum in another vessel and pour
in half a pint of black ink, letting it
stand until it is perfectly dissolved. Melt
twoIdrachms of isinglass in cup, with as
much water as will cover it. To mix the
whole, turn the softened glue into sauce
pan over a gentle fire, adding another
half.pint of vinegar, stirring until per
fectly dissolved, being careful not to let
it burn at the bottom nor reach the boil
ing point. Next add the gum, and, after
arriving at about the same heat, add the
isinglass; then pour it out for use. APP
ply thin coat, sufficiently heated to be
fluid, with piece of dry sponge, and II
the article is dried quickly, either in the
sun or by the fire, it will have better
polish. This answers equally well for
boots and shoes.-Colemdns Rural W0rId.

street two chains wide is laid, and the
plat divided into half acre lots, with as
signments for church, school, or other
public use. A tract most suitable for
tilage is then selected in block, which
is inclosed, and within which each head
of family cultivates that portion of his
allo,ment-for there is no communism
that he finds convenient. A hay meadow,
held also in severaliy, is chosen, and the
remainder of the consolidated homesteads
is used as range for cattle and other
animals, which are invariably attended
by herdsman who is paid by the dorf
The village lots and other subdivisions
are distributed by lot.
The houses-only found in the dorf--
are comfortable, heated by central brick
ovens, warming three or four looms. The
same roof usually extends over separate
lodgings for cattle, although in this re-
spect there is growing tendency to
have different tenements. Each family
has yoke of oxen, two COWS and indeti-
mite poultry. The pig is not wanting, and
there are 800 sheep and $50 horses on the
Rat River reservation.
The municipal government is simple
democracy. The heads of families an
nually select Mayor or Reeve, who is
the chief executive officer, constantly
comforting with his constituents. Over
the whole community is a President or
Elder, elected for five years, and who,
associated with the Mayor of the doris,
form court for the final adjustment of
all disputes and the enactment of all
necessary ordinances. The President may
act in all matters relating to a separate
village in concurrence with the Mayor
thereof.
The church organization is quite dis
tinct from the civil administration. The
people elect clergyman in each dorf,
and Bishop to preside over the whole
community for periods of five years.
They receive no stipends. The teachers
of the schools-one held in each village
are chosen by the people, but are paid a
moderate compensation. Marriages are
free-no allotment as formerly among the
Moravians-and usually contracted early,
the parties often remaining with the
most prosperous of the parents for year
or two.
The Mayor of a dorf, with two assist
ants, constitutes an Orphan Court for the
distribution Of estates, and the custody
of the funds of orphans, for which the
property Of every villager is liable; de-
Quoting from the said orphan fund what
ever contributions for the relief of the
few destitute orphans may be found nec-
essary.
For most of these interesting particu-
lars we are indebted to Mr.. William Hes
peler, immigration Agent of the Domin-
ion of Canada, who ascertained in 1871,
during trip to Germany, that Men
MONTE emigration to this continent was
probable, and who visited Southern Rus
sia in 1879. Upon his representations,
and under his auspices, a delegation came
to Manitoba in 1879, and selected the
reservation near Rat River; and three
years of activity and we'll directed effort
have resulted in the colonization which
is the subject of the present compilation.
