The Oneida community replies in
its organ, the american Socialist to
the charges of the Syracuse clergy,
with challenge to anybody to "cite
a single cass Of immoral action grow
ing out of the influence of the COM
munity." The following argument
is put forward: "The worst enemies
of the community admit, as DR.. Mears
did at the conference, that its members
are sincere and honest. The charge is
that they are fanatical and mistaken.
Does their record prove this? The
community takes care of its own, and
throws off no wrecks such as are con-
stantly falling from ordinary society.
1t has furnished no paupers, no crimi-
nails, no abandoned women, no neg
lected children. Is it not, then, Work
ing out valuable experiment? The
community defies prosecution, on the
ground that it has violated no law.

--Sprlhg is smiling upon us, its gen

the long, severe spell is broken the
snow is disappearing; the glory Of the
morning will soon be upon the hills
and beauty everywhere.
There is considerable sickness in
our town, and the physicians are kept
very busy.
The Sabbath School of the Re
formed church held an entertainment
at the church on last Saturday evening.
Although the weather was unpleasant
respectable audience was present.
The children in speaking and singing
did themselves great credit. We do not
see how it could have been more pleas
ing and welcome to the audience. Some
of the pieces deserve special mention,
but we do not wish to make choice.
The choir merited very worth praise.
We can not pass by the children,
THE children are the finest poems,
We have ever seen or read,
They are the living poems
When all the rest are the Dead"
They were dressed very pretty, and
looked like bouquet of beauty. The
audience was delighted, The future
Of our churches is in our school-great
pains here give great gains. We cam
not love them too much neither, nor
have too great regard for their welfare.
The church that makes light of their
teaching will soon have empty seats
Forward we hosts of the church, save
them from saloons and gambling dens

Floors versus Carpets.


There is strong protest offered, In
different ways and from vafiou.
sources, against our lohg established
practice of making poor floors, with
the design Uf Keeping them covered
with carpets stretched and fitted to
every part, and carefully tackled down.
Carpets in daily use cannot be kept
clean except by very frequent shaking
and beating, and they do much toward
corrupting the air by retaining impure
gases, hiding the finest, most pene-
trating dust in their meshes and
underneath them, and by giving off
particles of fine wool into the atmos-
phefe, with other dust, as they are
swept or walked upon. There is a
demand for better floors, not tieces-
sarily inlaid or mosaics, of different
kinds of precious wood, but made
double, of strong seasoned wood, that
will not shrink or warp (spruce,
however well seasoned, is almost sure
to warp, and then carefully finished
so as to be durable and easily cleaned.
Carpeted floors seem relief to the
house-keeper when once the carpets
are procured and fitted to the rooms
and tackled down, because they do not
show the dirt as the bare floors do.
But oh when they do get full of dust
And when house-cleaning time comes,
and they must be taken up and shaken
and whipped as they well deserve!
With warmly-made floors and large
warm rugs, couldn't we do without
these denominations even in winter.
Certainly our rooms would be cooler
and sweeter without them in summer.
But i'm that case we must take more
prins with our floors, and we must
have something better than the
COMMON uhpainted ones. Oiled floors
are better liked than those painted,
even for kitchens. Women find that
they can oil their floors themselves,
and many kitchen floor has, within
few years, been made comfortable
and decent in that way. Boiled
linseed oil is used, and two or three
coats are put on, one after another, as
fast as they are dry. Floors ofalternate
boards of different kinds of wood are
pretty for some rooms, and some times
border made In this way, with diago-
nal stripes, bordered by a straight board
on each side, or wood of two kinds
laid in checks or diamonds, is very
satisfactory. These bordcred rooms
are especially designed for parlors, or
rooms where a heavy bordered carpet
or large rich rug is intended to merely
cover most of the floor, leaving
margin of about two feet around the
the edge-a carpet which cnn often be
carried out and shaken free from dust.
Oiled floors do not need hard scrub
bing, like unpainted floors, but simply
a good washing with warm mot hot)
water, often changed as you go over it.
Strong suds of course will gradually
remove the oil with which you have
carefully filled the pores. Grease
spots do not have the same effect as upon
an unpalnted or unoiled floor, which
must be kept free from grease in order
to look well for now you have it creased
all over; whatever grease gets on it
now, that can not be scrapcd or wiped
up, may be thoroughly rubbed in.

"A bill has been introduced in the
Missouri legislature fixing the fares of
sleeping cars in that state at 81 for a
berth during the night, and one-fourth
of cent per mile travelled, for each
passenger, during the daytime. The
st. Louis Globe Democrat thinks it
will pass, because it is fair measure,
and allows the sleeping-car companies
profitable return on their capital.
When the prices of all the great staples
and of labor have fallen from so to 100
per cent, as they have during the past
seven years, there is no good reason
why the sleeping-car companies should
be permitted to collect war prices for
the service they render. The price of
lodging at the best and most lux
uriously furnished hotels does not
exceed one dollar per night. Why
should two dollars be eXacted from
travellers for occupying a contracted
bunk, which has often to be reached
by a ladder, in railway car?

The Clearfield Republican says
1t is becoming quite fashionable
throughout the State for Tax Collectors
to gather up the taxes of the people
and then elope, or defy those who
have been robbed. Several attempts
have been made in this county to con-
vict parties who engaged in this crime
but though the advice of shrewd
attorneys and some technicality, the
offenders have escaped the penitentiary
although they pocketed the cash
which belonged to their neighbors.
We are glad to notice that case has
been properly adjucated over in Cam
bria county, to which we call the at
tention of those Collectors who may
contemplate something of this kind.
We hope there are none; but we will
call the attention of all Collectors and
taxpayers to the following bit of in
formation. The Cambria Freeman
says:
"Mr. Michael Quinn, former tax
collector of Conemaugh borough, plead
ed guilty at last session of our county
Court to the charge of embezzling
certain moneys collected by him in his
official capacity. On Tuesday of last
week, at the special term of Court,
he was. called before Judge Dean and
of. $2,500 and Imprisonment in the
Western Penitentiary for period of
fourteen months"
There, Collectors reflect This was
righteous sentence.
