A HAPPY COMMUNITY.

About eight miles from Cleveland and
six miles south of Mineral Point, the ter
minus of the valley road at the Wheeling
junction of Wheeling and Lake Erie Rail
road, there is a quaint little old village
known as Zoar, inhabited by strange,
frugal and industrious people, the happi-
est, perhaps, in the world. They knew
no care nothing worries nor troubles
them. a large number of them never
saw the outside of their lovely home, a
veritable paradise, and troublest themselves
little, if any, about the turmoil and strifes
of the wicked world. The colony was
founded in 1917 by Huber and Alderman,
two Germans, the former native of Wur-
temburg, the latter hailing from Bavaria.
Shortly afterward, in the same year, they
and q few followers from the same country
formed community and named it Zoar,
because they looked upon their homo as
place of refuge from the world, which they
termed Sodom and Gomorrah. The first two
houses which Huber and Ackerman built in
ISI7-quaint, antique structures are yet
inhabited by the descendants OF the two
pioneers. They are built of logs and NOR
tar, and contain but one large room,
sparsely furnished The windows are
small, each containing nine panes of glass
about six inches square. The roofs are
covered with tile, as are those of all the
houses erected to 1850. when the art of
tile-msking died out in Zosr. The inhao-
itants, who have no desire to amass wealth,
work for one common end-that is, for the
good of the community, which owns and
controls the village, including thousands of
acres of the richest land in the Buckeye
State. The money goes into one common
treasury, and the necessaries of life, in
Guiding food, provisions and garments, are
furnished by the village officials, consisting
of three trustees and committee of five
who are elected annually by ballot. The
village contains about 800 inhabitants,
which number has been the same since
1917, and never increases or decreases to
any notable extent. There are no preach
ers, but all the people are devout, wor.

a CAUSE OF BALD HEADs.-A note for
bald headed readers According to Ger.
man professor, Herr Reclaim, premature
badness is not necessarily attributable to
early dissipation, or late study, or even
constitutional weakness. He instances
the German professors, who are nothing
if not studious, and are distinguished
among all men for the profusion of their
locks. Ga the other hand, soldiers and
coachmen, cabmen, etc., who habitually
wear heavy helmets and leather caps, often
have heads as bald as a billiard ball"
From this, the Professor argues that bald.
ness comes chiefly OF the artificial deter
mination of blood to the head, and to the
heat and perspiration, producing a relaxed
condition Of the scalp and of hair" Sup.
posing this theory TO be correct, it would
be difficult to invent head-covering better
calculated to bring about such results than
the hideous and most uncomfortable Chin
ney.pot, as the Yankees call it, polished
brain.squeezer," SO dear to the city man
and the "park swell" If we would retain
our natural thstch, the Professor advises us
to wear light and porous head covering,

qHs WASTE OF ANIMAL FooD.

The flesh of domestic animals fit for
food is almost waste substance in many
countries, since it cannot be locally con-
sumed nor profitably preserved. In the
River Plate republics alone there are
Sc. 600, 900 sheep and %, 900, 600 cattle to a
population OF 100000. For years sheep
were only valued there for their wool, and,
when hayed, csrcasses were left to rot, or,
when dried in the sun, piled up in stacks
for fuel, while later on they were boiled
down for their tsllow. Sheep get very fat
IN the province of Buenos Ayres, and those
of three and four years will give frequently
from eighteen to twenty. five pounds of tai
low. Countless numbers of sheep are
boiled down every year in the so-called
grdseriGS only for the tallow, which forms
one of the staple articles of export. The
mutton is thrown away, or used in dry
state as fuel. In the five years ending
with 1850, more than /, 800, 900 sheep and
200, 600 horned cattle were boiled down
simply for their tallow, in the colonies of
New South Walas and Victoria. We En-
glish are great meat-eaters, and, as our
home supply ia quite insufficient, we have to
import more than 600, 900 tons every year.
With the growth of our population, and
home, the imports of meat from abroad
have prodigiously increased in the last
quarter of century. In paper read be-
fore the Royal Colonial Institute, Sir
Francis Bell, the Agent. General for New
Zealand, stated that frozen meat in any
quantity can be placed upon this market
from the other side of the world at cd to
Old pound. leaving good profit to the
grower. "This, he added, Fought ulti-
mately to make meat cheaper here, or at
least prevent the further rise now threat
ened. Australia and New Zealand can, in
fact, export 700, 900 tons of meat year,
or 1000 tons a day, which is not much
more than you want in England even now,
without reducing even the present capital
number of their sheep and cattle, and we
are able to send on sheep to Slnithfield
with greater ease to-day than the Tweed
farmers could one hundred years ago, when
meat was selling at a penny a POUND in
Scotland against ten-pence in London"

THE MUSIC OF THE RA1N.

Falling, falling on the house-tops,
With music quaint and rare,
Like the sound Of human heart-throbs,
On the silent midnight air,
Or the tears of argels falling
When they weep with those who weep,
Or the lullaby OF mothers
When they rock their babes to sleep.
Like the drowsv wine Of peoples
With its weird, enchanting powers,
Coming to the weary listener
Like the dew to dropping flowers;
Like calm sleep to those who suffer,
Or like tears to those who mourn;
Like remembered words from lovea ones
From our aching bosoms torn.
Strangely sweet, bewitching music,
Al enthrRled my senses lie
AS | watch the mystic Future
With the shadowy Past go by,
While a calm and holy quiet
Steals upon my heart and brain,
Then fall asleep, still listening
To the murmur OF the rain.
So, mayhap, sometime hereafter
| shall lay me down to rest,
Overweary, and shall listen
For the music | loved best
When, its gentle cadence falling
Through the midnight silence deep,
Softly soothes my troubled spirit,
While it luils me into sleep.
When at last my soul has fallen
Into sweetest, glad repose,
That on earth sunshine nor shadow
No awakening ever knows
Like the voice of waiting angels,
Or the vesper bells in toll
May the softly falling rain drops
Chant requiem for my soul.

CHANGING THE CoLoRs OF FLOWERS BIZ
CULTIVATION,

Oar knowledge of the chemistry of vege.
table pigments is not yet sufficiently adj
vanced, for which reason the effect of arti-
fetal influence upon the color. tone of flow
ers has not yet received its merited atten-
ton. According to my view, tannin is an
important factor in the generation of vege-
table colors it is found in almost every
plant, the petals not excepted, and by the
action of the most varying reagents-alka-
lies, earths, metallic salts, etc-it assumes
the most manifold hues from pale rose to
deep black, A darker color, therefore, is
produced in flowers rich in tsnnin, when
MANFRED with iron salts, since, as every.
body knows, tannin and iron-salts dye
black, and produce ink. A practical use
has been made OF this fact in the raising
of hortensias and dahlias. The former,
which in ordinary soil blossomed psle-red,
became sky-blue when transplanted into
soil heavily MANFRED with iron ocher, or
when occasionally watered with a dilute
alum solution. English gardeners succeeded
in growing black dahlias by similar manipu-
lations. 1t is well known to every florist
that change OF location, that is, a change
of light, temperature and soil (replanting),
occasionally produces new colors, whence
it may be deduced that an interrupted nu-
triton of the flowers may, under circum-
stances, effect change of color. We see
no valid reason why the well authenticated
fact of the change of color produced by
manuring with iron oxide, thereby chang
ing the nutrition of the plant, should Tot
be practically employed by the dollhouse
gardener. Another very singular and sue
cessful experiment in producing change
of color in a bird has recently been made.
a breeder of canary birds conceived the
idea of feeding a young bird with mix
ture of STEPPED bread and finely pulverized
red Cayenne pepper Without injuring
the bird the pigment of the spice passed
into the blood, and dyed its plumage deep
red. The celebrated ornithOlogist, Russ,
believes that the color of the plumage of
birds might be altered according to desire
by using appropriate reagents August

A Lesson in Honesty.

A very pleasant incident occurred in
one of our public schools not long Since.
1t seems that the boys attending the
school, most of whom are at the age of
from seven to eight, had, in their play
of bat and ball, broken one of the win
dow panes in neighboring house. No
clue could be obtained to tie boy who
had broken it, as he would not confess
his act, nor would any of his associates
expose him.
The case troubled the teacher. The next
day a gentleman called to see the
school, an acquaintance Of the teacher,
who knew how to talk to children.
After telling him of the breaking of the
glass and her inability to ascertain who
of the boys had broken it, she asked
him to make some remarks to the school
and to speak of the wrong the boys were
doing in not acknowledging the act.
The address to the school, therefore,
was upon the conduct of boys in the
streets and at their sports. He told
them in simple words that honesty,
