The Zoarites are a very peculiar peo-
pie, who live in Ohio and hold the prop
erty in common. They are as odd as the
Shakers or the Oneida community. Their
views of property are much the same as
those bodies hold, but their practices as
to married life are different. The COM
munity had its origin about seventy five
years ago in Wurtemburg, Germany. For
good while after the colony came to
this country marriage was considered an
irregularity The cholera of 1882 made
frightful rayages among them. They
then began to consider the propriety of
marriage. They esteemed it wrong to
to go outside and contract marriages
among the worlds people, and 50 they
married among themselves. They are
now the largest and most prosperous com
munistic society in the United States, and
are exceedingly thrifty in their business
affairs They own ten or twelve thou
sand acres of land, and are superior far
mers and millers They believe in mill
lenium Of peace and glory, prior to which
the gospel win be preached all over the
world. Their religious services are much
the same as those of the leading Protest
ant denominations.

Cool Colonel.

''The coolest man ever knew was old
Victor de st. Hilaire, the colonel Of AID
infantry regiment that saw much service
in Algeria, /" said Colonel Henri Dubois,
one Of a party Of French officers who,
having halted to take look at Siam On
their way home from the Tonquin war,
had come to dine with us on board d
British gun-boat which had somehow
found its way up the Mei-Nam river.
'fIve known men," lie continued,
'swho managed to put on a great show
Of GOODNESS in times of danger, though
they were really very much excited; but
there was no putting-on with St. Hilaire
it came as natural to him as eating bis
dinner. All his hair breadth escapes
(and he had had so many that he could
hardly count them HIMSELF had left him
as cool as before, and it really seemed as
if dangers passed him by because he
would not condescend to notice that they
were there at all Once his men mutt
MED, and two of them clapped their
bayonets to his breast as if to run him
through; but the colonel only smiled,
and said, as quietly as ever, BE CAREFUL
my lads; you might hurt me-
'Now it happened that in Colonel St
Hilaire's regiment there was peppery
young sub-lieutenant who was as hot a.
the colonel was cool. With him it was
always (as you English say) "a word and
blow, and the blow first. He had fought
so many duels that the soldiers used 70
call him Sudden Death, and to say that
the best way to end the war would be for
him to challenge the enemy's whole army
man by man. Well, one day this lieu
tenant had committed some fault, for
which the colonel gave him such scold-
ing that the young fellows hot blood
couldn't bear it any longer. Quick as
lightning he whipped out q pistol ana
fred right at st. Hilaire's face, 50 close
that the muzzle almost touched him. But
the pistol missed fire, and the colonel
sand, quite coolly: Forty-eight hours
arrest for not keeping your arms in proper
order
'And was that all that the lieutenant
got?n asked dozen voices at once, in IN
disguised amazement.
''That was all; and can tell you that
he thought it was quite enough-Ha !
general, good-evening. I was just telling
these gentlemen how you once put me
under arrest for not having my pistols in
working order. ."-DaVia Ker, ii HarPer's-

Romantic Story.

A Boston letter to the New York Sun
relatesthe happy termination Of a romance,
as follows:
Twelve years ago Maurice johnson, the
son Of one Of Lowells wealthiest citizens,
was sent to Harvard to complete his edu-
cation On entering college his fathers
name and purse soon placed him at the
head Of the set. An unexpected fnan-
cial crash left his father nearly penniless.
Young johnson at once gave up his
sumptuous apartments, his horse and
other luxuries. He lived frugally, studied
hard, and after while stood at the head
Of his class. The young man was the ac-
cepted lover of Miss Nellie Chace. When
young Johnson's financial condition
changed, the father declared the engage
mcnt off A different message came from
the girl, but the penniless student was
proud, and he answered neither the letter
of the father nor the loving message Of
the daughter. With the utmost determine
tion he bent himself to the task Of com
pleting his course. The one who loved
him 50 truly he never saw until his grad
uating day, and then, remembering only
that her family mad scorned him in his
misfortune, he did not speak to her. He
studied medicine and went to New York,
but was far from realizing the success he
hoped to attain. He worked with win.
but at last became thoroughly disheart
ened. He took to drink, and finally
brought up in hospital on the verge Of
dellrium tremens. There he met ply
sician in whom he recognized an old
classmate, and by his aid he was soon re-
stored to health. Fired anew with am
bition and courage, he went to New
England city. He soon gained there an
excellent reputation as a physician and
came back to Lowell. One day on enter
ing his Office he found summons to at-
tend lady whose case, the note said,
was very urgent. He hastened to the
house and there found the woman whom
he had loved in earlier years He used
his best skill to restore her to health, and,
after his professional services were no
longer needed, he continued his visits as
the lady's accepted lover They were
married few weeks ago.

BE PATIENT WITH THE LIVING.
Sweet friend, when thou and I art gone


Sweet friend, when thou and art gone
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small shall be our need of grace
From comrade or from neighbor,
Passed all the strife, the toll, the care,
And done with all the signing
What tender truth shall we have gained,
Alasl by simply dyingl
Then lips too chary of their praise
VIII tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults to see
Shall no defect discover;
Then hands that would not lift stone
Where stones were thick to cumber
Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers
Above our pillowed slumber
Sweet friend, perchance both thou and /,
Ere love is past forgiving,
Should take the earnest lesson home
Be patient with the livingi
To-day's repressed rebuke may save
Our binding tears tomorrow;
Then patience, e'en when keenest edge
May whet nameless sorrow.
IT'S easy to be gentle when
Deaths silence shames our clamor,
And easy to discern the best
Through memory's mystic glamor:
But wise it were for thee and me,
Ere love is past forgiying,
To take the tender lesson home
Be patient with the livingl
Good Cheer.

Prepare an eel in the presence of these

took great pride in his work, selected
vigorously squirming fish, struck its
head smartly upon d wooden block

was attached the vertebre and lateral
bones inclosing the intestines, he bowed
and said:
"There is not splinter left in the
fish"
THAT j. 50, proudly remarked the
proprietor II only employ the most
skilfuI men and cooks" The operator
washed down the block, chopped Tile
iattened eel into three-inch lengths, and
shouted to a cook, who advanced to re-
move it on a dish. The next process
was mysterious one and was performed
behind a screen, from whence the platter
Of eels was presently handed out to one
Of the broilers My opinion is that the
fish had simply been plunged into boil

We advanced to range and saw
cook skewering the pieces Of eel on long
bamboo splints. Then he placed them
on the rods over the glowing Goals, and
when one side was Drowned, dexterously
picked them up with pair of iron chop
sticks and turned them. After they
were thoroughly cooked be seized the
fish with the same instrument and plunged
it into vessel containing old shoyu,
which was thick and dark as molasses.
The steaming unagi was then drained,
placed in a lacquer box, and sent up
stairs to the customer.

'The Japanese" says Nature, "do no
appear to have lost any of their faith in
the efficacy of vaccination for the small
pox. They have just enacted stringent
law on the subject, for, beside ordinary
vaccination in the first year of infancy, it
provides for at least two subsequent re-
vaccinations at intervals of from five to
seven years, 50 that by the time the child
has reached its fifteenth year it will have
been vaccinated three times. Beside,
during epidemics Of smallpox, local au-
thorities have power, when they deem it
necessary, to order the vaccination of all
the inhabitants Of their district, ire
spective of the vaccination required by
the law.

It is said that capitalists are seriously
contemplating the utilization of the
Aleutan islands for cattle-raising pur-
poses. These islands form a portion Of
the territory extending out in the western
chain across the extreme north Of the
Pacific ocean almost to the Asiatic con-
tinent. Their total area is 5000 square
miles, Of which at least one-fourth, or
more than $50, 900 acres consists of lux
uriant pasture. The lowest temperature
since 1880 has been one degree above zero.
Cattle can be shipped to San Francisco
for $40 head. No fencing would be
necessary, the pastures being sea-girt.

An Illinois farmer was prosecuted 70
cutting off the horns of his cattle. Emf
nent doctors testified that it was a cruel
barbalous and unnecessary practice. On
the other hand, one farmer said he had
dehorned thousands Of cattle, and, ex-
cept for the momentary pain, which was
slight, they did not suffer from the oper-
alton. Dehorned cattle consumed a
least one-fourth less food than those
whose horns were left on the head. more
of them could be crowded into she'd
and the strong could not drive the weak
from the food. A score oflocal farmers
swore that they had been converted to
dehorning, and believed it human and ad-
visible. The humane society withdrew
the suit.

It is said that the favorite recreation of
the car consists in wrestling with his
brothers, of whom Vladimir and Alexis
can well match him in herculean
strength; his food is of the plainest, his
amusements are insipid to degree. At
the favorite resort Of the imperial couple
in the palace of Gatchina, the car sur
rounds himself with dozen or so of his
fayorite noblemen, and they pass all the
evening in playing cards at reasonable
stakes and smoking cigarettes, entirely
unrestrained by the presence Of the en-
press and the grand duchesses, some Of
whom smoke also. All floors being
made in the Russian fashion Of inlaid
oak, the czar and his partners often for
get to avail themselves Of sh-holders
and throw the half-fnished cigarettes
about them on the floor.
