A FAMILY OF "sHAkERs.n

How Worldly Possessions Are Managed
Worship of the ''Benevers.,
The Warrensville Shakers make Yearly
reports to the elders at Union Village,
Ohio, and are visited yearly by them.
/ Each family is in charge of an elder
Elder Miner being the head of the Cen
ter family and Elder Watson Andrews at
the head of the North family. The busi-
ness of the Warrensville society is in the
hands of trustees. All property belongs
to the society as body, being conse-
Grated to God, and its worldly owner
ship extends as far as the present society
at Mount Lebanon. When person joins
the society an inventory of his posses
sions is taken, and if he concludes to
withdraw all is returned. If he chooses
to do SO, he can consecrate the property
and put it into the hands of the church.
Properly speaking, each family settle
ment consists of one large dwelling
house, where all the members have sep
arate rooms, with such other buildings
as their occupations may make neces-
sary. Industry is compulsory. Meal
times, bed time, milking time and the
time to rise is signaled on a bell ON the
roof of the dwelling house. If any per-
son wishes TO be excused from whatever
work he is given to do, he must gain the
consent of the elder.
There are seventeen societies in the
country, as follows: Mount Lebanon,
Watervliet, and Sonyea, in New York;
West Pittsfield, Aver, and Shirley, in
Massachusetts,; Shaker Station, in Con-
necticut; Shaker Village, and Enfield, in
Hor,.x1c1,s~1.
Gloucester, In Maine; Pleasant Hill and
South Union, in Kentucky; and Water
vliet, Whitewater, Union Village and
North Union, in Ohio.

ported, was supernaturally revealed to

described, A meeting house is built at

The elder has charge of the services, and

tie is done in the way of oral prayer.
The Shakers believe that "every breath
should be a prayer"-that prayer is a
feeling impossible to express in words.
Before and after each meal they kneel at |
their chairs in silent devotion. In meet
ing the dancing is conducted by the men
and women first arising and standing in
two separate rows. They march back
ward and forward, singing earnestly, !
and when sufficiently warmed up, arms,
heads, and bodies keep time with the
beating of the footsteps. Visitors were
often attracted to the meeting-house by |
those peculiar exercises, and the levity
that they nearly always displayed re-
suited in the doors being closed to all |
outsiders who appeared to be actuated
by curiosity. The origin of the name

4 rre-Edlson PhonoErnph. on Reeord.

A writer in China claims to have dis
covered a record of the existence Of a
speaking phonograph in that country as
far back as the seventeenth century. The
instrument is mentioned as "the thous-
and-h speaker" and the description is as
follows: "It was a bamboo tube COW

key. After speaking into it several
thousand words, it was closed and car

Bathing for Pleasure and Health.

To sum up. bathing is heaven or
dained practice, necessary not only for
pleasure, but for health. The sponge
bath plays the most important part for
purposes of stimulating the integument
and equalizing circulation, rendering the
person less liable to sudden chills Tepid
water should be used for baths taken for
the object of simple cleanliness, and
should be reinforced by using some al
Kali, either soap of best quality or, if
the water is hard Containing lime1 add
a little boraX. Hot baths should not be
followed to any extent because of their
enervating effects. Never take bath
of any kind when over-heated or very
much fatigued, with an overloaded
stomach, or just before taking a sleigh
ride.-Amelia A. Whitefeld, NJ D., in

A Very Curious Religious Community.
Early in this century a number of Ger
mans, under the leadership of George
Rapp, made a settlement in Pennsylvania
fourteen miles from Pittsburg. They
aimed TO initiate the example of the dici-
pies as related in the Acts of the Apos-
ties. In other words, they established
community having all things in common.
The family relation was regarded for a
number Of years. but finally. the COM
munity became celibates, -5bnd the
husbands and wives lived apart. AS a
consequence the membership became
less and less. At one time they num-
bered about thousand persons. All
that is left is about fifty old men and
women. The community prospered in
wealth while it diminished in numbers.
In the past its manufactures were famous,
especially their broadcloths, fannels and
blankets.
Some years ago they bought some wild
land in Pennsylvania for the sake of
the timber it contained. Subsequently
