Anollo in Knee Breaches

The town oil Ada, Ohio, is famed for i!s
Normal School, which is attended by several
hundred students from all over the State,
male aad female This college, ss q matter
f course, has literary society. Not long
go this association decided to purchase a
foe piece of statuary with which to adorn
he hall of the society Upon vote being
aken choice was made of q statue OF
Apollo, the most graceful of the gods None
IT the Students had ever seen a statue OF
Apollo but. all agreed it was just what the
society wanted, and the money for the pur.
chase was voted from the treasury with
pleasing upaDimity.
An order was sent East for the piece OF
art, end in due course of time it arrived,
securely boxed, and was taken to the hall
to be opened This was carefully done in
the presence oil the assembled aud eX
pectapt students OF both sexes. The
large and handsome statue was lifted
from the packing case, still covered by
the customary drapery, and placed on the
pedestal When all was ready the drapery
was drawn aside by the President Of the so
ciety q modest young lady. Wild screams
we're followed by precipitate scattering of
the students, VINO HeG In ali olrectl0ns,
leaving the god master of the situation.
The students were not familiar with the
nude in art, and shrank from the faithful
representation of the human form divine.
The evening following the unveiing cere
mopy en- anxious consultation was held by
the gentlemen belonging to the society, and
as it was deemed impoitic to return the
stature it was decided after numerous sug.
gesious had been voted down to resort to
heroic measures. A committee was ap-
pointed to confer with the leading tailor In
the town, and have that tradesman make a
pair OF fine velvet knee breechee, which
was done; and when they were completed
the famed Apollo was decently clothed with
them and there be stande, clad as no god
was ever before adorned, monument to
the modesty and ingenuity CT the students
of Ada College.

The zoarites and Their Quaint Customs

1Qe LOdTlleS anu luSlI Gudlut OuoeVAlo'
In Tusosrswas county, o. about eighty
miles south of. Cleveland, in quaint little
village called Y az, is an obscure conmuni4
tic colony of about three hundred inhabit-
snts. Ii was founded in 1877 by two Ger.
mans who selected this location. compri5ilg
some of tho richest land in Oaio, and called
their settlement Zoar, becanse it was to
be to them a place of refuge from the world.
The people, descendants of the pioneers who
first settled there are frugal and industrious,
strongly attached to their beautiful home,
and work for the community, which owns
snd controls not only the village proper, but
thousands of acres outside. The money is
received into one common treasury, and the
neces. .aries of life, Including food and cloth.
ing, are furnished by the officials consisting
of three trustees and committee of five,
who are snnuslly elected by ballot. They
are Christians, accepting the Old and New
Testaments, but they have no minister or
ceremonies of ary kind, and their place OF
worship is not called church, but con
gregation house" In marriage, the contract
ing parties procure license, according to
the laws of the State. and the mar
riages are solemnized by justice OF the
peace, who is member Of the community
Years ago their rules were very strict and
the members all dressed alike, but now, al
though simplicity is The rule, they are not
uniformly attired. They manufacture their

large hotel accommodating many summer
boarders. Altogether they are happy, in,
dependent people, content to live apart from
the world Every person in the community
knows bis place, is assigned to his duty, and
performs his work according to his ability.
Nearly all the present members were born
in Zoar. although outsiders may join if they
can pass satisfactorily the years probation
