irrigation $50 acres. The crop last year was
valued at 1900. They now have $4,000
worth of farm animals and implements. and
an orchard Of about 1000 fruit trees. three
hundred banana plants will bear this year.
The present status of this colony is the
nearest to the ideal cooperative community
that has ever been reached in the numer-
GUS experiments tried. There have been
and are dissensions in the ranks; one fac
ton is struggling against the other for con-
troll. Whether these jealousies will result
in breaking up this colony is yet a matter
for conjecture. Human nature is the same
at Topolobampo as elsewhere, and personal
ambition seems to be at the bottom of what
trouble exists. The enthusiastic colonists
are inclined to make light of the dissensions.

and successful movement towards a higher

The Need of Special Teacher of Penman-

ship in our Town Schools.
To the Editor of the Press:
A great need of many of our schools is a
special writing teacher. Many Of the towns
have thus provided for their pupils. while
OF hers are lacking in this respect, towns
noted too for their educational advantages
1t is true that writing q is taught in all. or
nearly all. schools. but the majority Of our
teachers are but ordinary writers. and the
scholars take no interest in this work,
whereas if there we're a special teacher for
this branch, he would arouse an interest
in penmanship among the pupils, incite
them to practice and do more good in half
hours lesson than the usual teacher could
do in an hour.
Possibly the expenses of some towns are al
ready SO heavy as to exclude the idea of
hiring an extra teacher for any particular
branch of work Well then it wouldn't
be bad idea for out wealthy townsmen
who are always so interested in the cause of
education but who it is noticed are not eager
to yield up any spare cash for the purpose
of helping along their loved cause, to club
together and provide furd wherewith to
hire a teacher of penma nship for the
schools of the town.
AS 1t now is, we are in constant receipt of
letters, the contents of which, SO closely.

The purposes of the colony are strictly
cooperative. 1t is intended to do away
with dependence upon the outside world
AS fast as possible, and to become a sepa-

The mottorof the colony is that 'all wealth
created shall go to enrich the community

principle is cooperative as to it's members
and competitive as to the outside world

If Il glove is of the right size and cut,
much of its subsequent tractability de-

1t should be perfectly adjusted to the

true, each finger pushed down to its
proper place, and the whole fitted
smoothly and carefully. This viii re-

ing upon it's usefulness in this way will
ever after be found ready for the hand,
flexible when heXibility Is required,
and in every way pleasing OF course.
II the glove is not of the proper shane
and cut for the hand, it will never be
made to fit well, and all the time spent
in the effort will be wasted.
No attempt should be made to brlt-
ton the glove till the hand is perfectly
fitted; then begin at the bottom and
proceed gently-do nothing with gloves
in hurry. A dress glove for visiting
or evening wear should fit closely and
perfectly; but at all other times those
which have more room inside should
be employed. For walking, driving.

The Thanksgiving Turkey.

The turkey is the most important
article of the Thanksgiving dinner.
Time was when the first appearance of
this bird in the year was on the Thanks
giving dinner table But all that Is
changed now, many families beginning
to use young turkeys as early as Octo-
Der. However, the best birds are kent
for the latter part OF November. In
selecting a turkey see that the flesh is
white, that the bird is short, plump
and fat, and that the end of the breast
bone is soft and flexible. Season it
well with salt, and ill the breast and
body with a well seasoned dressing.
Spread soft butter over the breast,
legs and sides, then dredge thiclily with
-four and put In hot oven where the
butter and butter will unite TO make q
frothy crust for the turkey. After the
turkey is Drowned the heat should be
reduced. There must be a basting

the pan. besides salt, pepper and -four.

A Simple Electrical, Machine.

That yellow amber, when rubbed,
acquires the property of attracting
light objects was known as long as
forty centuries ago. This first expert
ment in electricity was destined for a
splendid future, but distant one,
since it is from yesterday only that
date the truly serious applications OF
this science.
We shall now endeavor to show how
the fundamental experiments of cleo
triclty may be performed with as re-
duced material as possible. a sheet
of paper will suffice us in the first place
for few interesting experiments.
Heat a piece of ordinary paper in
front of brisk fire or over a lamp
chimney until it begins to redden. At
terwarp rub it smartly with the hand
or, better, with brush, and it will
then be capable of attracting small,
light objects, such as fragments of
thin paper and the web of feathers, If
the sheet of paper be brought near a
wall, table or any stationary object
whatever it will be strongly attracted.
Finally, if one places it ab0ve his head
his hair will be attracted, while at the
same time he will experience a sensa-
ton comparable to a slight tickling.
But more remarkable results still are
reached upon improving the apparatus.
Take glass, expose it to the fire, so
that it shall be perfectly dry, and place
it upside down upon table. After
ward take tray, perfectly dry, and
place it upon the glass in such a way
that it shall preserve its equilibrium,
Finally, take Il sheet of paper slightly
smaller than the tray, heat it and rub
it rapidly with a brush and it will be-
come quickly electrified Then place
it upon the tray.
An electrical machine will thus have
been constructed without any expense.
If the finger be brought near the tray,
spark will appear. This spark will
be so much the longer in proportion as
the glass and tray are drier.
