MISS ALICE PARKER. York, VINO wrote,
under divine inspiration as his disciples be-
lieve, a book called "Oahspe," which is the
bible of the new religion.
Viewed simply from a literary stand
point, "Oahspe" is a most remarkable pro-
duction, to which a lifetime might have
been devoted. 1t is said as a matter OF
fact to have been written in the leisure
moments of less than a year. 1t contains
many curious doctrines, intoxicating strict
abstinence from fish, flesh, intoxicating
drinks and tobacco, so that all Faithists are
total abstainers and ~vegetarians. AS vege-
tarians they are divided into three classes
or degrees. Some eat vegetables that grow
In the ground, while others, of a higher
type. eat vegetables that grow just above
the ground, and those of the highest type
of all eat only high growing grains and
nuts.
Faithists believe that the world is to be
regenerated only through the proper edu-
cation of children, and to carry out their
ideas in this respect the colony of Shalem
was founded. Then as many castaway in
fants as possible will be sent to be cared
for and educated in the new doctrine, their
nurses and teachers being the elder mem
bers of the community who are willing to
devote their lives to the work. This is the
labor Miss Parker is about to undertake
and to which she expects to consecrate the
rest OF her life.
Miss Parker is a native Of Portsmouth,
N. H., and about 80 years old. In early
girlhood she Joined the Baptist church, but
at 90 left that communion for the Univer-
salist, going so fer as to enter the st. Law
renee university at Clinton, N. Y, to pre-
pare for the Universalist ministry. She
came to the conclusion before her course
was completed that the ministry presented
an unsatisfactory field, and that her natural
bent was for practical work, whose results
would be more apparent. About a year
ago she became interested in the Faithists
and now believes she has found the field
that nature and her spiritual ~yearnings
have best fitted her for,

The Most Popular Department..


The department of state, with its mys-
terry and diplomacy, is a sealed book save
when the discussion of some vexed foreign
problem throws the records open fora time.
The treasury department, in its great finan-
cial ramifications, is always of interest to
the man of money, but to the workingmen,
the plodders in the humber walks of life,
its operations are often vague and unintel-
ligible. The war, navy and interior de-
partments, excepting, of course, the great
bureau of the last named which has to do
with pensions, are more or less in their or
ganization and methods above and beyond
the majority of the people, and the depart
ment of justice comes within the same cate
CORY. The department Of agriculture, it ia
true, in its endeavors to give instruction

till our fields and harvest our crops. who
supply our markets with their meats and
poultry and produce of all kinds, appeals
to large numbers Of people, but none Of
these great establishments reaches cut and
encompasses every nook and corner Of the
land as does the postal service.
