An Apostle of Christian Communism.

Rev. Adm Ballou, the venerable pastor
emeritus of Hopedale parish, who died at
Milford, Mass, the other day, was In many
respects remarkable man. He was born
in 1903, had religious experiences" at II
years Of age, Joined the Church of Christ
at IL, and became O minister at IS. He
soon lost standing because of his rejection
of the doctrine Of eternal punishment and
went over 10 the Universalsts. His con-
troversial writings created a schism, and
in 1S42 he, with two others, established at
Hopedale tho Community" an attempt
to practically exemplify Christian COM
munism, literally prscticing tho Ten Com
mandments. This continued with vary
ing success, Mr.. Ballou being spiritual
leader until 1885, when joint property own
ership was abandoned, the effects sold and
proceeds divided. The Christian parish"
was organized with Mr.. Ballou as pastor,
which reIstion be held until April %, $780,
when, on his nth birthday, he relinquish-
ed active parish work to younger hands.
His home was the Gretna Green of hun
dreds of lovers. His life work included
offlciating at 2,63l funerals, 3 S9S marriages,
500 christenings, writing nearly 500 vol
umes of various kinds and purposes, deliv-
eing nearly $500 sermons and addresses

Oxygenaeed OH Gas.

DR.. Theme has carried ont series of
experiments with view of testing the
advantages of the Tathem patent for the
manufacture Of an oil gas Of very high
illuminating power. Mr.. Valon has
shown at Ramsgate that oxygen may bs
used with advantage for the publication
of coal gas, and that he found that in
his process the addition of oxygen to the
gas caused an increase in the illuminat-
ing power. The same is now found to
be the case when oxygen is added to oil
gas, and it has been shown that as much
as so per cent. of oxygen can be added to
the oil gas without any risk Of forming
an explosive mixture. The process at
present used consists in first heating
American petroleum to a moderate tenn
perature in an iron retort, and then add
ing to the gases and vapors produced
about 20 per cent. of oxygen, which pre-
vents the subsequent condensation of the
vapors and at the same time enor-
mously increases the Illuminating power.
The necessary plant is of very simple
description, and, as far as one can Judge
from the experiments which have been
carried oct, there seems every ground
for believing that the process Is one
which will be found to work wei on a
large scale and be capable Of producing
an Illuminating gas Of high intensity at
a comparatively cheap rate.-Manufact-

The Power of the Arm.

The harp, the either, the violin are so
many chances for arms. If girl is round
limbed it is getting almost impossible for
her to look at the pictures of the Pompeian
pipe players and the Greek girls playing
the tubar without going straightway to
join ladies' orchestra. Mrs. Ella Dietz
Clymer owes much of her reputation as
the beautiful president of Sorosis to her
use of her arms. She never forces them.
If she disposes herself statuesquely against
the high back of her carved chair she is
content with so much of picturesqueneas
as is compatible with che calm poiss Of
good presiding officer. If occasion arises
for her TO throw an active expression into
her posture she gets just the permissible
effect, no more, no less, out of her graceful
arms. But no woman off the stage has the
actress opportunity.-New York Letter.

IS not so startling then, that Iowa, so well
known as an agricultural state, can build

and thus prove to the sisterhood her won
derful variety of resources.
The palace is an imposing structure go

architecture is a compromise between the
gothic and the Byzantine. The palace will

from 40 TO 90 feet The main entrance Is on
Main street, through the grand arches in the
tower to the right, whose summit is near the
grand tower. That tower is 50 feet wide and
of the same proportions as the one TO the

The Waist Exercise.

II portion of the body be pinched So
verely it will, after relaxation, become red
from the blood which rushes to the spot.
This is a physiological law throughout tho
body; and the blood will not properly cir
culate through the stomach and liver with
out this alternate pressure and relaxation,
and, moreover, if the blood does not ci-cu-
late, the liver will not efficiently secrete
bile, nor the stomach gastric juice; hence
indigestion is sure to ensue. In other
words, for health the stomach and liver
must be literally churned with every
breath from birth to death. The aim of
the waist exercise is to bring about this
healthful state of affairs-a task it readily
mplishes-and l may add here that
this exercise properly and persistently en-
ployed is a certain, absolute and perma-
nent cure for the most stubborn case of
dyspepsia have now in mind a clergy
man who was cured by this system of
calisthenics of dyspepsia of fifteen years
standing.-Hall's Journal of Health.

The Production of Slate

The total value of all slate produced in the
United States in 1855, as shown by the census
returns, is SO. - S63 OF this amount s., u.s.
271 is the value of SIS, 900 squares Of roofing
slate and S66e, o92 is the value Of slate for
all other purposes besides roofing.
As compared with the statements Of the
tenth census report Of 1880 on stone, the
roofing slate product Of 1889 is nearly twice
as great in number of squares and In value.
A consideration of the slate used for pur-
poses other than roofing appears to have
been omitted from the tenth census report.
The total value of all slate produced in 1889
is more than twice as great as that consid-
cred in the tenth census.

An Interesting Decision Recently Handed
Down in Iowa.
The supreme court Of Iowa recently
handed down an opinion in the Philips
life insurance case which is of interest to
every member of the A 0. u. W. At the
time Of his death DR.. l. II. Philips held an
insurance certificate in the A. 0. L. W. for
1900, which was payable to his legal
heirs" He left surviving him a widow
and one minor daughter. The widow con-
tended that she was entitled TO at least
one-third of the life insurance. This was
disputed by the guardian Of the daughter
and one-hah Of the money was by agree
ment placed in the hands Of the clerk Of
the district court, until the controversy
should be determined in the courts. The
widow then brought fuit against the
guardian and the clerk of the court for
money thus deposited
The case was tried By Judge Preston in
December. 1888, and he decided that when
child or children of the deceased sur
vived the widow was not legal heir Of
her husband. and consequently not en-
titled to any of the money IN controversy.
Mrs. Philips appealed from the decision 10
the supreme court. The court Of last re-
sort rendered an opinion affirming the de-
cisiou Of the court below, thus granting all
OF the insurance money to the daughter.
Many policies are worded as was DR.. Phil
