The Shakers.

That very singular body OF persons
commonly known as Shakers-their
proper name is the Union Society OF
Relssvers in Christ's Geoond appearing
is said to have materially increased
since 1870, and to number now nearly
$4,000. This is remarkable, inasmuch
as, believing and rigidly adhering to
celibacy, they can recruit their ranks
only by external accretion. They have
eighteen separate settlements (the sect
is entirely confined to the United
States) of which there aretwo in Maine,
two in New Hampshire, four in Massa.

this State, four in Ohio, and two in
Kentucky. They now believe the king.

that Christ has come upon earth Sec
ond time in the form Of Mother Ann
(Ann Lee, An English woman, born in
Manchester, was the founder OF the
sect, having emigrated thence with .
small band of disciples shortly before
the Revolutionary War;; and that the
personal reign Of God has been re-
stored. They belive also that the new
dispensation has begun; that Adams
sin has been atoned; that man has been
delivered from ali errors except his
own: that the curse has been removed
from labor; and that the earth and all
it contains shall be redeemed. This
would seem to be comfortable sort Of

USE OF WHEAT In ENGLAND AND
ScoTLAND.-Very little wheat was used
during the earlier periods of English
history by the poor in England and
none in Scotland. Rye bread and oat-
meal in 1896 were the staple diet of the
servants in great families. In the reign
OF Henry VIII. the gentry kept the
wheat for their own tables; their house
holds were usually obliged to content
themselves with rye, barley, and oats.
In monopoly granted by Charles II.
in 1926, barley bread is stated to be the
usual food of the ordinary sort of peo-
pie. In 1727, field of eight acres sown
with wheat in the vicinity of Edinburgh
was reckoned 30 great O curiosity, that
it excited the attention of the whole
neighborhood. In 1850, no loaf bread
was to be met with in the villages and
country places of Scotland, oat cake and
barley bsnnocks being universally used;
but about the commencement of the
eighteenth century q change began.
Every village began to have its public
baker of wheaton bread In England,
private baking was the rule; and even
up to 1914 there vas not single pub
lie baker in Manchester. All the chief
towns of Great Britain have now several
bakers shops, and baking in private
houses has very much diminished.

perennial youth. The swallows, that

meath the caves Of your barn. Tho
warblers and shy wood birds you pur-
sued with such glee ever 20 many sam.
mers ago, and whose names you taught
70 some beloved youth. Who now. per-
chance, sleeps amid his native hills, no
marks Of time or change cling 70 them /;

with their ever reneved and joyous
youth. The call Of the high holss, the
whistle Of the quail. the sirong, pisrc-

ignore the years. and strike on the sar

PHILADELPHIA MORTGAGES.

The recent abatement in the Philadel-
pbia Record that there are 100 600 uneatis-
fed mortgages in that city, and that they
cover seven eights of the property in it, s
a striking illustration of the growing habit
| of going in debt in this country. It would
appear that with all the wealth in the
United States the general greed is so un-
satished that resort must be had to the
fiction ofdoubling this wealth by covering
it with mortgages. or course it is not
doubled no amount of incnm brances that
can oe put upon piece of property can
ada dollars valae to the general wealth.
Still, as our revenue systems assess and
tax both the real estate and the mortgage
on lt, the effect is to exhibit on the assess
or's books more wealth than there really
is. II the holders of mortgages in Phila
delphis faithfully return them for taxation,
the taxable property of that city is return
ed at seven -eights more than what it
really Is. Ihat city may not be fair
sample. Philadelphia is generally regard
eo as thrifty city in which there is
greater proportion of the population living

any other American city. But it is proba- /

@ associations which build

nnual lnstallments. The system is con-
ldered an easy method of supplying la
oripg men and others of moderate means
