ANOTHER COLONY.

Civilized people are growing more and
more dissatisfied with the prevailing prin-
oiple of every man for himself and the
devil take the hindermost, and ell sorts of
schemes are in operation and planned to
do away with some of the selfshness of
living which has always been considered
necessary. One of the latest Is the Atkin-
son colony, which is 20 try it. experiment
in Kern county, California, where tract
of ten square miles under irrigation has
been secured. Nobody is to be barred
from this colony en- the score of religion.
Women are to be admitted to membership,
and the promise of wages as high as those
paid to men is held out to them as an in.
ducement to join the colony. Payments
for all services and exchange of commodi-
ties will be made by means of a sys-
tenn of credits given at the conclusion of
each days work. A colonist who can
show by his teck that he has credits will
be entitled to merchandise at the colony
store. Should he desire any article not in
stock, 1t will be the duty of the merchant
to order the article and charge a reasona.
bic price for it. The profit will go to the
common fund, which tbs board of direc-
tors will control. marked point of DIFF
ference between this experiment and 9TH
ers is that individual ownership of land
will be permitted, the community interest
extending only to the products of the
oil he &ha of
will 60 into the treasury until the regular
dividends shall be declared. The articles
of association explain that employment
will be furnished to every coionist, and
that.the members will receive full value
for their actual labor and no more, SO that
no one or more men in the community
will be enabled to absorb the product
of any numbsr of his fellow -colorists. To
meet the "unearned increment" problem
the colonists propose to ''divide the in
creased value of the lands On which colo
ni.ts settle among the ectusi workers
every six months" One provision in the
article prohibits the sale of liquor within
the colony. Schools will not be estab
blished, the children avsiliDg themselves
of the instruction furnished by the State.
The oolonists are to take possession of
their land next spring and live in tents un-
til they are able to build houses with their
own hands.
This is a fine and promising scheme,
and 1t might work if human nature were
different from what 1t is. But 1t is proba-
bly, destined to be added to the long list of
failures Of experiments designed to do for
human beings what they are ncs yet ready
to have done for them.

PRAYER, PAKALYsIs. ETC,

Queer things happen In New Jersey. |
The friends of temperance In Cumberland |
county in that State have bsen strsnuouely |
opposing the granting of liquor licenses,
and have been indefatigable in procuring
signatures to petitions addressed to the
county board of excise commissioners, urg-
ing that none be issued. The Women's
Christian Temperance Union has held
meetings at which prayers were offered
that the commissioners might be divinely
guided to refuse the applicants. Oae very
earnest woman prayed publicly on two oc-
cssions that God would paralyzs the board
and remove it's members before they could
grant any more licensee. The commission
ers were no more Influenced by the petit
tions and prayers than the commissioners
of New Haven county would be. They
went on granting or Withholding licenses
according to their own notions. But the
othsr morning the secretary of the board
was found paralyzed in his Office and the
next day he died.
OF course 1t is not known whether the
secretary was paralyzsd in answer to
prayer, or on account of overwork in deal
ing with the petitions and remonstrances
handed in to the board. Bat the situa-
ton is an impressive one for all concerned
The woman who did the awful praying has
not been publicly heard from since the
seeming answer to her prayer, but she

ahe said And aa for the othar cornia.
| sioners they must have little hesitation
| about granting any more licenses just now,
even If they are not very superstitious.
But it is not probable that any of them will
resign, and 1t is possible that subsee euent
events will indicate that the praying woman
hasn't the power that come will think she
has. It is possible. too, that she will here
after have doubt about the wisdom of
such prayers as she has been making. 1t
is pretty serious business to pray for the
death of fellow being, and it is still more
serious when tine prayer seems to be an
swered. Few would care to take such a
responsibility as this New Jersey praying
woman seems so ready to take. Perhaps,
though, she really believes that man ie
better off dead than alive and issuinp
liquor licenses, and that she looks upon
her prayer as full of real kindness. Mrs
Sherman, 1t will be remembered, thought
her children would be better off out ot
this world of trouble and sin, and there
fore she didn't hesitate to remove then

AFTER THE STORMS.
Lament the vanquished glory of the trees.
These stricken giants, with their uptorn roots,
Their rivea trunks, and branches SCARED and
lashed
In vicious fury by the whrling winds,
Plead not In vain for human sympathy.
These were the trees we lovsd,-we knew they
loved,
Dreamed, whispered, sang; were sorrowful or
glad
AS we were grIevfd or joyous; twas for US
They spread their swaying shadows on the grass,
Sheltered our roof trees from the fervent heat,
Glowed IN a blazonry Of red and gold,
Traced graceful network en- the wintry sky,
Or glittered in their icy coats Of mail,
Aud all the year but lived for our delight
'Tis one more grief that we must part with
these;
One added sorrow in these trsublous days:
The dear old friends-the true old friends are
gone!
THE P. d.
This is the true story of the Printers
Devil, as vouched for by q competent
authority:
Early in the 10Th century, Aldus Man
usius, the celebrated printer of Venice,
bought little black slave from one of
those Barbary oorsa!rs who then swarmed
in the Mediterranean. The boy proved
| very useful In the printing Office, but he
soon involved bis master In unexpected
trouble. At that time the common people
| were both ignorant and unruly: they coald
| not understand how books could be
turned out in such numbers and 80 cheap,
when it used to taks a man almost half a
| life time to copy one. Of course, Satan
must be at the bottom of the business-an
| by his actual presence in the person of
the sooty servant. Forthwith the indig.
nant populace rose to destroy the Evil One
and all his works. Confronted with this
sudden danger, Aldus horangued the mob,
brought forth his dusky satellite, placed
him on platform In the principal square
and invited the public to pinch the boy in
| order to Assure themselves that he was
! genuine flesh and blood. The public ac
| cepted the invitation with alacrity; and
the dark youth had a bad quarter of ar
hour. Curiosity having been satisfied, the
mob went home, taking with them severa

as souvenirs of the occasion; and from thai
day to this the boy who attends TO odd
and ends about a printing Office has beer
called "ths Printers Devil"
Upon this inky imp, TO the present day
there rsets the burden of a reputation fo
malicious mischief. Not that he often de
serves it, but 1t goes with the situation
and is inseparable from tit is the bur
den of the honor. There must be some
body to blame, and he Is that ore.
Tbs common people are not SO '9gnorsn
and unruly" now ss In the days of Ald1s
but even those who are intelligent enougl
to write for the papsrs, would like to pincl
