dences for 1000 persons, who were to
carry out his plan. 5e The whole thing
failed completely.
Communities formed on religious
bases have succeeded better-at least,
more of them have succeeded. The
Shakers have managed to live many
years, but they have not made very
striking success of their living, and there
are to-day less than 5000 of them in the
whole United States. The Oneida Com
munity was started on some ideas of
Noyes as to religion and sexual rela-
tons, and was conspicuous success as
long as Noyes lived, but went to pieces
as soon as he died.
The most conspicuous success was
achieved by Geo. Rapp, who was born in
Germany in 1870, and as he grew to
manhood conceived that he had q divine
call to reform the Christian Church, and
restore it to its primitive simplicity, when
all the brethren and sisters held their
goods in common. His ideas did not
harmonic with those of the officials of
Wurtemberg, where he lived, and he
migrated from there, with a body Of fol
lowers, to Conequenessing Creek, in Penn
sylvania, where they established the town
of Harmony, and engaged in farming
and manufactures. The community was
governed by rigid rules, the strictest
morality and patient industry was en-
forced, and no marriage was allowed.
The community became quite wealthy,
and removed to Indiana, where the town
of New Harmony was established, which
was afterward sold to Robert Owen.
They then returned to Beaver County,
Pa, where they built the town of Econ
omy, Oh the Ohio River, II miles below
Pittsburg. They prospered there i'm
mensely, building up extensive factories
besides their farms All that is now left
of the community are very old men and
women, and it is a quite earnestly dis
cussed question what shall be done with
their immense property-estimated at
s20,000,0 00-when the last of them
die. s7l
Unquestionably the progress of the
age is toward cooperation. The world
is getting SO big that one man can ac-
complish little in it by himself. He
must unite with Others in whatever he
does. 1t seems to us that the direction
that this cooperation will take among
farmers will not be any form of COM
munism, but rather the direction indi-
Gated by the establishment of cream
cries, where farmers engaged in similar
lines of production will unite to get
methods and machinery which will
cheaper the cost and improve the
quality of their products, and yet give
each man exactly the measure of re-
ward to which his industry and skill
entitle him. In this way Individualism
will be preserved, while securing all the
benefits of united effort.

How the Nez Perez Hunters Train.
[CentUry.i
Among the Nez Perez Indians of Idaho o
part of the training OF the hunters and fisher
men was to plunge into the river in Midwin-
ter, and struggle with the ice and the rapid
current Many of these Indians believed that
meat made a man shOrt-winded, and some OF
the most noted hunters lived exclusively upon
fish and roots. Two methods OF strengthen
inc the body were common in all tribes en-
forced vomiting and the sweat-lOdge bath. A
connection of herbs was taken rs an emetie.
or the result was reached by thrusting peeled
willow twigs down the throat. This practice
required considerable resolution, and was assO-
ciated somewhat with the notion that plan
or purpose strongly conceived at the time of
the operation would surely come to pass.
Heaps of stones were raised where this ordeal
took place, and the willow twigs used were
inserted in a split pole firmly set in the center
of the pile of stones, TO remain as memorial
until the winds and the froSts o. years should
destroy the witness of the mans endurance.
The sweat-lodge was place of publication
and physical refreshmeut. Water was thrown
upon heated stones within the lodge where
the men sat crouching and perspiring in the
steam they afterward plunged into ruDt
ming stream, even in the Winter season.

UNION IN CENTRAL AMERICA.

There is'a prospect that the long effort
to get the little seven-by-nine Republics of
Central America united into one Govern
ment will succeed. The narrow strip
between the Pacific and the Gulf of
Mexico to which the North American
continent dwindles down at the south
line of Mexico, is occupied by five little
Republics, with areas and population as
follows:

This makes less territory than there is
in California, and about as many people
as there are in Kentucky. The people
are a generally poor, ignorant lot, the
great majority being of Indian blood,
ranging from pure and unmixed through
all degrees of admixture with the Span
ish. The wealth, intelligence, and force
of character are all in those of Spanish
blood.
The main interest to US of the country
is in its relation to the highway between
the two oceans, and also that in the near
future it will be in the hands of the
Americans who will be raising there our
coffee and bananas. There are already
quite number of Americans there en-
gagged in this business.
The country was among the first to
come under Spanish rule. Columbus
visited the eastern coast 10 years after
the discovery Of America, and in 1923
Cortes sent one Of his Lieutenants to
subdue and take possession of the land.
1t remained subject to Spain for just 300
years, or until 1923, when the people
threw off the yoke, and formed Fed
eral Republic of the five colonies. This
was soon dissolved, and each became
independent. Repeated attempts at
union since have either failed or been
very short-lived. Now the news comes
that Salvador, Nicaragua, and Hondu-
ras have united under the name of the
Republica Mayor de Centre America
Greater Republic of Central America,
and that Costa Rica and Guatemala are
likely to come in soon. The promoters
of the union are understood to be dis |
tinctly friendly to the United States.

Three delightful little plays were pre-.
sented by Courtenay Thorpe, Mrs. Ida
Jeffreys- Goodfriend and supporting com.
pany in the Providence Opera House last
evening.
The two principals labor under the dis
advantage OF not being well-known in
this community, a condition always more
or less damaging 70 the pecuniary advan-
tage OF strangers in the theatrical field
hereabouts. IL is but fair 10 say that
these players are far superior to the av-
erage Thespians seeking favor in a new
enterprise, and start as stars in the
theatrical armament. They are deserving
OF liberal patronage.
The bill comprised farce entitled,
"Reading a Tragedy play adapted
from Kipling's s story entitled, "The Light
that Failed,' and comedy by Mr..
Thorpe, entitled, "Dorothy's Lovers. -
Ii was delightful evening. Eugene B.
Sanger as the tragedisn in the first-named
piece was very amusing as the crack
Drained tragedian, and he had capable as
sistance from Mrs. Jeffreys-G Goodfriend as
the actress.

"Dorothy's Lovers" likewise showed

tertaining way. The same bill was re-
peated this afternoon. This evening,
