1T IS ALTRURIA REALIZED.
A Colony of Faithful People is Now
In Working Order.


In Working Order.
From the American Magazine of Civics.
Altruria no longer designates merely a
rev Utopian dream. Near the little city Of
Santa Rosa, in Sonoma county, California,
and about sixty miles from San Francisco
a location has been found for the head
quarters of what Is known as Altruria as
ISOLATION.
This organization, initiated last spring.
has met with peculiar favor from the pub
lie in California, and has also attracted at
tention throughout the country.
The organization Is a fraternal order.
Brotherhood is the cornerstone. The mo-
tive Is mutual good will. Accordingly, the
association is in no sense a joint stock
company. That is, 1t does not recognize
money paid into its treasury as investments
upon which interest or dividends are to be
paid. There Is at present a membership
fee-the nominal sum of $50. All are
pledged to maintain a high standard Of
personal, domestic and social morality
Within this general bond of right doing
tails of the individual life. The institution
Is missionary in its spirit.
AS 1t may be prospered 1t will set aside
a large part of it's surplus for the estab-
lishment and fostering of other settle
ments after the same kind. The plan Is to
undertake varied and comprehensive in
dustries; not all at once, but one by one.
Altruria is essentially and in q marked
way democratic. Each member, male and
female, counts for one, and no more than
one.
An admirable site has been secured for
the first location. tract of nearly two
hundred acres, with a fine water power and
other promising resources. Here about
twenty-five adults are now living, with ten,
children. They are tilling the fields, build
ing houses and putting the place into shape
for future enterprises.
They have blacksmith shop, shop for
the manufacture of fancy furniture, and a
little grocery store. They have also started
chicken ranch on a small scale
Furthermore, they have a limited print
ing OUTFIT and are publishing paper, the
Altrurtan, which brings a small income.

quency with which We indulge the appe-
tite. An eminent physician once told me
that he had three rules of life. One was,
battle once each day in such fashion as
best suits your constitution and exercise
Ireely. another, 'seaC the simplest food,
and just enough to fully satisfy hunger"
The third and last, one was little more
comprehensive, sleep eight straight hours
in clean. well-ventilated room, after you
have emptied your heart and brain of
every disagreeable occurrence of the day,
and never fret or worry" Follow these
rules" he said, land there is no reason in
the world why you should not live one
hundred happy years." He was himself
nearly ninety, when accident cut him loose
from life that seemed about to realize the
truth OF his utterances. -. 40
I sent those three rules to nv little
friend and she wrote back: "Your rules re.

of such things comes home. to 9,B in after

me no meaning at all, and were simply an

that other one as well, which is the EN-

Now, there you have in a nut shell a rule

BOATING Song.
On every hand
No trace Of land:
Upon the sea we float.
The waves are still,
No breezes fill
Our sails, or move our boat
Calmly we rest
Upon the breast
OF ocean. grim and gray,
Where sea birds fly
With watchful eye,
As the shadows flee away,
And far away,
With silvery ray,
We see the moon arise,
And with golden beams
Ger the tide it CLEANS
Like path to the radiant skies
The silvery ray
OF the Milky Way
Il mirrored in the deep.
Though small our bark,
On the ocean dark
In peace our way we keep,
In peace we rest,
By naught oppressed,
No sorrows hither roam.
The starlight's beam,
golden stream,
Directs and guides US home.
