A Peculiar PeAnlA.

The Rappists, "a peculiar people, ="
living In Beaver county, Pa, and hold
ing g all things in common" have prop
erty, the present value OF which is esti-
mated at SIS, 100000. This colony was
founded by George Rapp, native of
Wurtemburg, in 1903, after he and his
followers had been involved in disputes
with the Government of that country.
All the property of the company was in
trusted to him as trustee, and at his
death, forty years later, it passed into
the control Of two trustees, and is now
held by them and their successors.
There was a schism in the community
many years ago, because marriage was
forbidden. Among those who left was
Elias Speidel, whose father and mother
were among the original colonists, and
he has now brought suit against the
trustees, claiming $50, 600 as his share OF
the property. This is test suit, and
he is backed by the contributions OF
several hundred persons, heirs OF the
original colonists, who seek division OF
this property. Extensive litigation is
anticipated.

M0hammedan SensuaIisYa.

No one Of the Mohammedan races has
carried out the license given to sensual
passion by the Koran and the adhering
tradition to such an extent as have the
Ottoman Turks, and no race has suffered
SO much from that license. The evil
consequences are far-reaching and bale
full IN the extreme. It is to feed the
Turkish sensuality that the slaye-trade
throughout the empire and in the in
terror Of Africa is maintained. The
beautiful, fair daughters who are pur-
chased from the Georgians and Circas-
SLAMS also find their way at last to the
harens of Constantinople, Brusa,
Smyrna, Adrianople, Aleppo, Bagdad
and other towns and cities of Asia Minor.
One of the direct results of this sensual
lty is that the Turks have degenerated
physically during the past 200 years.
That the conquerors of Constantinople
were hardy race, Of great physical
strength, there can be no doubt that
the great majority Of modern Turks are
of an effeminate type is equally certain !;
very many of them are Of fine appear
ance, bat they are physically weak.
without elasticity, giving the impression
OF men who have lost their vitality.
The same may be said even more en-
phatically Of the Turkish women; they
are small Il stature, of q sickly complex
ion, easily fatigued by slight exertion,
and became prematurely old. After the
age OF 40 all feminine beauty is gone
the eyes have become sunken, the
cheeks hollow and the face wrinkled
and there remains no trace of the actiy-
lty and strength often seen in English
women OF 65 or even 70 years of age.
Another immediate result of the prevail
ing sensuality is the mental imbecility
Of multitudes of the Ottoman Turks;
great multitudes among them are intel
lectualiy stupid. Many even of the
young men have the vacant look which
borders close on theidiotic stare. Severe
mental application is to them almost
physical impossibility. It is well known
that in all branches of business where
considerable mental activity is required
the Turks employ Christians to work for
them. This is owing not so much to
lack OF education, Or to general want
of energy, as, IN many cases, to mental
lncapacity which often amounts to real
imbecihty. Obvious illustration of the
special topic now discussed is furnished
by the royal family itself. Sultan Abdul
Mejid, Sultan Abdul Aziz, and the de-
posed Sultan Murad were all men of de-
praved minds, vicious habits, mtemper-
ate and sensual in the extreme, and were
alike devoid of moral character and men
tai capacity. Mental incapacity, how
ever, from the causes alleged, is not con-
fined by any means to the wealthy and
aristocratic classes it is found In all
grades of society.-Tho British Quar-.

THE WOUNDED PRESIDENT.
The Evening of the Tragic July D

l5teWaru Crump 10 a new fOrk interviewer
What Crump can say about the life In
the sick-room during Garfeld's long
illness would make very interesting
volume. 1t was asserted at the time and
generally believed that when Mrs. Gar
field returned on the day of the tragedy
from Long Branch the meeting with her
stricken husband was unobserved by any
one. The fact is, that Crump witnessed
the interview, though not from any
choice of his own. Several times during
the day the President asked of the faith
full steward, who sat by his bedside,
gently tanning his face, at wonder how
far on her way Mrs. Garfield is now ?''
"What time do you think she'll get here,
Crump?" When it was known that the
special train had arrived and that the
carriage bringing Mrs. Garfield and Miss
Mollie was then approaching the White
House, the President directed Crump
to go to the window and observe how his
wife appeared. sShe is apparently
cheerful, Mr.. President" reported
Crump, as Mrs. Garfield alighted and
Harry Garfield placed his arm about his
mother to support her up the steps. Il
was ordered by those in charge of the
sick-room that Mrs. Garfield should
meet her husband alone. Of course no
one thought of lingering, and Crump,
among the rest, prepared to leave. The
President called him back, saying, 81
want you to stay; may want you" So
Crump remained at his post by the bed,
and, though he would gladly have gone
out with the rest, he was compelled to
witness the meeting. "What was said
at that meeting [ shall never divuIge,
except by permission Of Mrs. Garfield, -
said Crump to me. One thing is evi-
dent, however; what Mrs. Garfield said
SO far restored the courage of the
wounded man that he rallied from that
time on.
At no time during the twenty-fou1
hours was it thought the President
could recover. The sick-room was
crowded with physicians and others, who
had the privileges of the house. All re-
marks were in consonance with the gen
eral belief that death would follow In a
few hours.
"Why not probe for the ball?" would
be asked by one surgeon.
"What is the use to probe?' would
be the response; "he can't live, any
how"
EFF ne lives four hours, he can't live
twenty" would be heard from another.
These remarks naturally enough ap-
noyed the sick man. He asked Crump
to clear the sick-room, and allow in only
those whose presence was necessary.
The remark that If he lived four hours
he would not live twenty, made deep
impression upon the sufferer, and it was
evident to those who watched him closely
and heard his remarks that he fully ez :
pected to die.

Garibaldi as a Candle Maker on Staten
Island.

When Garibaldi. the italian iberator,
lived on Staten Island, and earned his
living making para1fine candles, he lived
in a small tWo-story gable-roofed cot
tage, at Clifton, which some wealthy
members Of the italian colony now pro-
pose to buy for hospital for aged ltel-
ians. Garibaldi lived here with Antonio
Muecci, who still resides in the old
house. Garibaldi worked for him, but
his labor was not very steady, as he
gave much time to visiting his county,
men in New York, and in discussing his
projects with them. He came here in
1851, and IN 1858 he took charge of a
vessel bound for San Francisco and
China. Upon his return he took YES
sci from this port for England, and re-
turning TO this country, in 1856, ne re-
manned but few weeks, and then went
to Italy, to begin the exploits which
will make his name live IN history.
While here Garihaldi became member
of the Masonic lodge at Tompkinsyille.
The pillow of bis bedin his room, which
has been preserved since the time he oc-
cupied it, has been draped in black IN
memory OF / Uberator. and the old
Italian, q grey-haired and whiskered
man, preserves il the room the presents
which Garibaih gave him. These in
clude bronze and cameo medallions of
the patriot, silver-mounted dagger,
the handle of which represents Mazep-
pa on a wild horse, while the sheath is
embossed with a hunting scene IN silver;
a silver-mounted cane, loaded cane
and red shirt trimmed with green,
worn by Garibaldi, with q silver badge
emblematic of the cause for which he
labored, are among the other relics,
with his picture, taken after he was
wounded at Caprera, and an oil paint
ing. Since the patriots death the
house has been more visited than ever
before. .-NeW York letter.

The English Suarrow.

In 1860 a dozen English sparrows were
imported by MIR. Eugene Schieffelin, of
New York. He sat them free near Mad
1son Square, and this he did for several
successive years. A number of others
followed his example, among them the
Park Commissioners of New York. In
1868 the City Government of Boston i'm
ported about 200. These all died, and
the next year more were brought over,
OF which but ten lived. The City Gov
ernment OF Philadelphia imported 1000
In 1869 and about the same time two
dozen were let loose in Monumental
Square, Charleston, s. @. A history of
North American birds says:
At the time of their introduction the
shade trees in the parks and squares Of
New York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn,
Newark and other places were greatly
infested with larvae Of the measure
worms that destroyed their foliage; since
then these worms have almost entirely
disappeared. a doubt has been ex-
pressed whether the sparrows destroy
these insects. That they eat them in
the Larvae form I do not know, but to
their destruction of the chrysahs, the
moth and the eggs, I can testify, having
been eyewitness to the act. Now that
the sparrow is familiar object to us all,
many can testify to the same fact.
Though the sparrow was introduced
here about 1871, the worms continued
to be nuisance for several years until
the increase OF the sparrows insured the
extinction of the worm. During those
years, at a certain part OF the summer.
the air was full Of small, light yellow
moths. The writer has watched the
sparrows many an hour and admired
their dexterity IN swapping up the moths.
1t was by destroying these moths, each
OF which was good for numberless eggs,
that the sparrow earned our gratitude.
He did not invade the castle Of silk
which the worm had erected on every
bough and entangle his short bill in it's
sufocating web, but he devoured the fly
in its season and picked off the eggs at
his leisure. II IS the tree preserver.

The Bicycle.

The bicycle, IN conception, dates back
to the early part of the present century,
being lineal descendant of the celefre.
or speed-maker, invented by Baron Won
Drais, of Mannheim on the Rhine, in
1916. The Baron wss landscape gar
dener, and invented the machine as an
aid in travelling in the discharge of his
duties. It was very little Ike the bi-
cycle Of the present day. being propelled
by the feet operating not on the wheel,
but on the g1ound. The first machine
propelled by cranks on the wheel was
was invented III 1866 by Pierre Lalle-
mant, French mechanic, and was first
used N New Haven. The chief differ
ence between the bicycle and veloci-
pet'e is that in the former the weight is
bo' by single large wheel, the di-
ml,nI,va one In the rear operating

the wheels are more nearly of size,
and both bear portion of the weight.

The Causes and Cure of Old Age.

l.. LANCER has recently been engaged
III the comparative analysis of human
tat ct different ages. He finds that in
FAINT fat is harder than that of adults or
old men that there are oil globules in
our fat, but none in that OF babies. The
microscope shows one Or two oil globules
in every fat cell of the adult, while very
few have fat crystals. "Infant fat forms
ah omogeneous, white, solid, taliow-like
mass, and melts at 45 degrees cent?
grade" while adult fat standing in a
warm room separates into two LAYERS ::
the lighter and larger is transparent
liquid which solidifies below the freez.
ing point Of water; the lower LAYER is a
granular crystalline mass, melting at Sc
degrees G. Infant fat contains 81. rs
per cent. of oleic acid, adult $3.50. In
FAINT fat contains 2997 per cent. OF
palmitic acid, against SIC In the adult,
and 1928 of stearic acid against 2.O4.
These latter, the palmitic and stearic
acids, are the harder and less fusible,
while the oleic acid is the softer and
more fusible constituent of fats.
No attempt is made to explain the rea-
son of these differences, or to suggest
any means by which we may reharden
or repalmitize our fat, and thus regain
our infant chubbiness.
Old age Is evidently due to changes Of
this kind, not only of the fat, but also of
the other materials Of the body. The
first step toward the discovery of the
elixir of life, "aurum potable OF the
alchemist, is to determine the nature of
these changes, the next to ascertain
their causes, and then to remove them.
II, as we are SO often told, there can be
no effect without cause, there must be
causes for the organic changes constitut-
ing decay and old age. remove these,
and we will live forever. The theory
is beautifully simple. = Ge,at1easans 8
