A Queer Sect.

Census enumerators in Southern Cal
ifornia have run across a queer settle
ment near Anaheim. They are purely
vegetarians, and refuse to acknowledge
any government, church or law other
than Jehovah, and fatty declined to
give any information to the census
men, so it was necessary to arrest the
entire party of fifteen. They still re-
fuse to give an account of themselves,
claiming that they are not citizens of
the United States, but of the world, and
that no power has authority over them
save the Supreme Ruler, and they will
probably receive the full penalty of the
law. This sect has many queer ideas,
and started about fifteen years ago,
when George p Hinde, an Englishman
by birth. located near Anaheim. He
gave it out that he was DESTROYS of dem
onstrating that man could live without
animal food; that he could exist alone
on nuts and vegetables. The result has
been that he has gathered about him
colony of about fifteen, most of whom
are men, although women are admitted
to the faith. All property is held in
common. 1t is invested in land which
belongs to the sect. They raise con-
siderable produce, for which there is
always a market, and in this way make
living. In the past they have lived
quietly with and among themselves, and
public attention has never been directed
to them until now. AT present Walter
Lockwood Thales appears as leader

There is no way in the little, dusty,
plunging den of a sleeping-car's dress
ing-room to practice the fine arts of the
toilet, with only the aid of two towels
as big as handkerchiefs; still much may
be accomplished by well-directed effort.
To begin with, the night toilet must
have been mplete-that is to say, the
face and hands bathed, the teeth and
hair brushed-in the .dressing-room;
then, standing inside the curtains, the
garments removed one by one and
folded. Let no woman attempt to
sleep in any of the garments worn dur
ing the day. Poor rest, and fatigue the
next day, is the result. Remove every
thing, and slip on a night-gown, over
which should be added in cold weather
a gown, perfectly plain one, of fan
mel, to avoid colds. Put the stockings
and garters inside the shoes, and hang
them in the net A travelling woman
should always provide herself with one
of the neat, stout little bags that hang
from the belt, and here her hair-pins,
jewelry, purse, gloves and veil and
small impedimenta may be put for the
night, and the bag put under the covers
at her feet, where it is much safer than
at the pillow. In this way there is no
danger of small articles of attire being
missing when needed in the morning.
From the wicker-covered cologne-bottle
pour generous quantity into the water
in the bowl, and hanging all clothes out
of the way, stand on the towels, and
take sponge bath from head to foot.
The cologne absolutely cleanses away
all railway dust, and the freshness re-
sulting from such bath will make all
the difference between pleasant and
an unpleasant day. Dress carefully
and completely, and after laying every
thing away in the satchel do not fail to
wipe off the washstand and lay the wet
towels out of the way, so that ones sue.

How to Clean Kid Gloves.

Light kid gloves soil so easily that
they would be very expensive item in
the wardrobe if one were unable to
clean them. In all large towns they
can be sent to shop. where they will
be cleansed for ten cents pair. 1t is,
however, a great convenience to be
able to do such work at home, if in a
hurry, or living out of town. When
plain naptha or benzine is used the
odor clings to the gloves long time.
Here is fluid that will easily clean the
gloves, and when they are exposed to
the air for short time the odor passes
away: Put into three-pint bottle one
quart of benzine, one ounce of ether,
one ounce of chloroform and half an
ounce of white wintergreen. Shake,
and cork tightly. To clean the gloves,
put them on the hands, and, wetting q
piece of clean white cloth or small
sponge with the fluid, sponge the

The Photographic Society of Geneva,
Switzerland, has just made an interest
ing experiment. 1t has been observed
in the case of mature married couples
who have lived together long period
of years that, harmonious in thought
and feeling, and subject to the same
conditions of life, they acquire strong
facial resemblance. The society took
the photographs of seventy-eight
couples to see to what extent this facial
resemblance prevails. The result, says
a London paper, is that in twenty-four
cases the resemblance in the personal
appearance of the husband and wife
was greater than that ofbrother and sis
ter; in thirty cases it was equally great !;
and in only twenty-four was there a
total absence of resemblance. The
pictures were interesting, both as illus
trating this curious fact and as prov
ing that not every couple is separated
within year or so of marriage by that
popular institution, the divorce court.

iudge,' she SAID. The Judges mouth
was open and his face was blank enough.
cit" said he. Yes, you, judge"
But he could not remember her, TO save
his life. Why, Judge, don't you re-
member me. Think again. Think
hard. Why, am Sarah A. Kerybeck."
A half light was dawning on the fea-
lures of the man of law and equity.
Kerybeck, Kerybeck," said he. Judge
Duffy used to be a school-teacher.
Everybody knows that. He was famed
as a pedagogue long ere he held down
the bench. Why yes, Kerybeck. 1t
was that was a teacher in the First
Ward school when it was yourself, your
honor, that was the principal. Why
Judge, don't you remember you asked
me to marry you once?" " Well, upon
my soul" gasped his honor, " think
you tell the truth; but | suppose you
are glad you refused me?" Very
glad" was the laconic reply of Mrs.
Hall. Duffy accepted her bond, and in
his desire to escape the smiles and
winks of the court officers and reporters
grabbed his sun umbrella and dashed
down the stairs without his hat. He
was reminded by the officer on duty at
the door that his head was uncovered.
And yet, when Sarah A. Kerybeck said
d" No" to the principal so many years
ago she went home and half reproached
herself, and was sorry she had been
called upon to break a good mans
heart.-NelC York World.

gloves quickly, rubbing quite hard III
the parts most soiled. Take another
clean piece of cloth and rub the g loves
till they are perfectly dry. Now slowly
and carefully work the gloves off the
hands, and hang them in the fresh air
for half an hour. All the odor will
have disappeared by that time. This
fluid gives the gloves lighter color,
but leaves them soft and free from
streaks, if the cleaning and drying have
been properly done; and it also removes
the odor sometimes caused by persplra-
ton. 1t must be remembered that with
this fluid. as with the pure benzine or
naphtha, care must be taken not to be
near an open fire, lighted lamp or gas,
as the gas which it gives out is very in
nammabe. Another method of clean
ing kid gloves is to use naphtha, pour
ing it into deep saucer Put the
gloves on the hands, and dip one hand
at time in the saucer, wetting the
glove thoroughly; then rub it quickly
with soft, dry cloth. The rubbing
must be done very quickly, or the glove
will look streaked. Should there be
any spots that were not removed with
the first dipping and rubbing, wet a
corner of the cloth and rub the soiled
part till it becomes clean. In using
such volatile articles as naphtha, ben
zine, chloroform and ether the rubbing
should be done very rapidly, that the
stain may be removed before the liquid
dries.-Mdrid Pdrtod, u, the Housewife.

A Little Kerosene.

Kerosene becomes more deadly every
year, and the fact that these accidents
are utterly unnecessary render them
the more lamentable. In the hope of
preventing some of these accidents, we
state few facts which everybody
ought to know: Q) 1t is not the kero-
sene that explodes, but an invisible
gas rising from it. (2) If oil is poured
into lamp that needs filling, this gas
rises out of the lamp or can, or both,
and explodes, often with deadly force,
if there be any fire within reach. (3)
Pouring oil from can upon a burning
fire or into lighted lamp ought to be
followed by a terrible explosion. Some
times it happens that no explosion oc-
ours, but the risk is frightful. (4) The
only safe rule is never to pour oil on a
burning fire or into q lighted lamp.
Now, you may give the girl the most
positive orders with regard to the fires,
but when no one is at hand in the early
morning hours the temptatian is strong
to assist the smouldering blaze by the
aid of a little kerosene. She has done
it without injury formerly, why not
again? So the nose of the can is
tilted over the range or crate, there is
a flash, scream, and the poor girl will
never have another chance to disobey
orders. Perhaps it would be better, il
the girl must be allowed access to the
can at all-the suggestion is made tim
idly-to show her how she may aid the
fire with comparative safety. All she
has to do is to pour spoonful or two
of oil into cup or something of the
kind, and setting the can down at
safe distance, pour the oil from the cur
upon the fire, 1t is not likely that she
will suffer much injury from the com
paratively mild explosion that may fol
iow.-PQrlor and Kitchen.

God and His Flowers.

The flowers Of many climates,
That bloom all seasons through,
Met in stately garden,
Bright with the morning dew.
For praise and loving worship,
The Lord they came to meet;
Her box of precious ointment
The Rose broke at his feet
The Passion Flower his symbols
Wore fondly on her breasts
she spoke Of self-denial,
As what might please him best.
The Morning Glories fragile,
Like infants soon to go,
Had dainty, toy-lke trumpets
And praised the Master so.
His word is like to honey"
The Glover testified
And all who trust thy promise
Shall in thy love abide"
Tha Lilies said, ooh, trust him,
We neither toll nor spin,
And yet, his house of beauty,
See how we enter I'M"
The King cup and her kindred.
Said, Let us all be glad
Of his redundant sunshine,
Behold how we are clad"
And let us follow Jesus"
The Star of Bethlehem said,
And all the band of flowers
Bent down with rev'rent head
The glad Sunfiower answered,
And little Daisies bright,
And all the cousin Asters
We follow toward the light"
" We praise him for the mountains"
The Alpine Roses cried;
We bless him for the valleys"
The Violets replied.
We praise him." said the Air Plant,
" For breath we never Lack"
"And for the rocks we praise him.
The Lichens answered back.
We praise God for the waters"
The Gray Sea Moses sighed;
And all his baptized Lilies,
"Amenl Amen" replied.
And now for green, cool woodlands,
We praise and thanks return"
Said Kalmias and Azaleas,
And graceful Feathery Fern.
And for the wealth of gardens,
And all the gardiner thinks"
Said Roses and Camelias,
And all the sweet-breath' Pinks.
Hosanna in the highest"
The Baby Bluets sang;
And little trembling Harebells
with softest music rang.
1.-THE winter hath been bitter,
The sunshine follows storm
Thanks for his loving kindness,
The earth's great heart is warm"
So said the pilgrim May Flower,
That cometh after snow,
The humblest and the sweetest
OF all the flowers that blow.
" Thank God for every weather,
The sunshine and the wet"
Spoke out the cheerful Pansies
And darling Mignonette.
And then the sun descended,
The heavens were all aglow
The little Morning Glories
Had faded long ago.
And now the bright Day Lilies
Their love watch ceased to keep;
He giveth," said the Poppies,
" TO his beloved sleep"
The gray of evening deepened,
The soft wind stirred the corn,
When sudden in the garden
Another flower was born.
1t was the Evening Primrose,
Her sisters followed fast
With perfumed lips they whispered,
Thank God for night at last"

MERGED, CAL, May 2S.-Frank M.
Ostrander, ex-district attorney Of this
county and secretary of the Merced
board of trade, was found this morning
lying on his child's grave, dead. 1t is
supposed he committed suicide by tax
ing laudanum.
Ostrander was married and had had
two children, one of whom was dead.
Monday evening, as near as can be ascer-
tanned, he had quarreled with his wife,
and left her and went to drug store
where he purchased some laudanum. 1t
is not known where he spent the night,
but w. j. Quigley, his intimate
friend, saw him and conversed with
him next morning. 1t is supposed
he went to the cemetery Tuesday after
noon or evening. He turned on the hy-
drant at his burial plot and watered the
flowers growing on his child's grave, and
the water was still running when his
body was found. He spread handker
chief on the head of the grave for pill
low and lay down and took the laudanum.
This morning Mrs. Ostrander became
alarmed at her husbands absence and
requested Mr.. Quigley to 60 to the
cemetery, as she knew her husband was
in the habit of visiting it when low
spirited. Mr.. Quigley accordingly found
his body and had it brought into town,
where an inquest was held and verdict
rendered in accordance with the above
facts
