dainty textiles are genuine buds of promise
to the woman who kno VS. her summer frocks
to be the most becoming OF all: SO one is not
surprised to find fair femlnincs rushing like
sheep to crop the first blossoms of the
cotton and linen harvest.

Theyare more expensive justnow. OF co urse.

standard designs that are likely to run
straight through the summer there are
bound, as always, to be a few rare and
novel ones which late buyers will never see.

Sinking in helpless sorrows lowest deep,

ONE YEAR OF UTOPIA.
The Result az "Generai" landau Ideal
Town In Michigan.

General John IL. Randall went upon
the stcppes Of northern Michigan to found
an ideal town. 1t was going TO be unlike
anything on earth. Tho prospectus made
riches easy. IL figured that each man
should be healthy, wealthy and wise; ent
terrapin for dinner, wear white shirts and
sleep on hair mattresses. People came
from oil ovor the country TO join the circle
and form part of the model community
In which cooperation was to settle all the
Ills of existence. There was IA common
granary, equal division Of all holdings,
and all summer the general" and his
followers heralded tho g%lorieso Hiawatha.
General" Randall has returned To Chi
cago. He Is wiser. He learned one lesson
when he led 500 hobos In the Coxey move
ment. This is his second. MIlcro has been
the first annual division Of the result of O
years work In municipal cooperation.
The 80 families and tho lot of single men
who hoped tG-find a rosy path TO independ-
eEce are stranded. Thoy have 1000 bush
OILS of potatoes rs the result OF the sowing
and roaping among Pine stumps end
bramblcs. Michigan towns arc sending
them clothing.
General Randall declares there is moth
ing wrong with tho plan. Human nature
is not built right. His next excuse for tho
failure Is the fact that Hiawatha Is ii
miles from anywhere. This Is the distance
which the 1000 bushels of potatoes must
be hauled. They arc worth 10 cents de-
livered at tho station. The thermometer
rarely COTS higher than 60 degrees In the
shade, M In the winter tho sociological
reformers dare not step outside to soc how
low 1t is. IL was averaging about 20 de-
grees whom tho general" buttonod up his
ulster and came to Chicago TO think UP
somo other schome OF making two and
two result in iSGrc than four.
The remaining Hiawathans have gone
into sand pits to prevent freezing to death.
They havo about them Some 700 acres and
q few clothes. Tho l.son are holding time
checks for work, TO bo paid when tho har-
vest was sold. Corn and wheat tried TO
get q living from the soil, but starved In
their infancy. So the net result Of the OK
perimont Of running "A cooperative town
Is 4, 1000 bushels Of potatoes at 10 cents, IA
miles from tho railroad, and a good lesson
to General" Randall and his associates.

SCHOOL FOR MONKEYS.
Calcutta's Novel Institution Tor Gu
Speochless Relatives.


There hos just been founded at Calcutta
an institution for the education Of mon
keys. Probably the prime movers Of the
affair never heard OF Professor Garner, tho
celebrated American simiologist, who has
again gone 60 Africa TO make an exhaust
i've study of the language OF monkeys, or
else they have deemed it castor to teach tho
monkeys than TO learn from Thorn In
simian tongue. At any rate, one OF tho
methods employed in this strange oduca-
tional institution Is tho following:
A young monkey Is taken, and before
him Is placed "a sot OK blocks ON which arc
painted In capitals the letters of the al.
phabet. TIL blocks Gro, In fact, exactly
similar to those which children play with
in every civilized country In tho world,
and they are used in precisely the Same
way as IL tho monkey were q young spool
men OF tho human race. There Is Il
professor for each monkey, and sho mon.
key Ii taught by means of tho blocks TO
spell certain words. II the word Is
fruit" for example, tho monkey, after
having been taught to arrange tho blocks
SO as Co spell the word quickly and with
out error, received "a bit OF f-uit as his re-
ward. The same exercise is repeated with
other words, and it is hoped that In time
tho simians will learn how 10 read and
spell md understand English IL they can-
not speak II.
Only young animals arc taken, for they
learn more quickly than old ones. There
Is no danger ef this fttcer -scfrouf tackirrg-
scholars, for there are thousands Of mon
keys 90 be found IN TINT part Of India
where Calcutta is situated. An efforh
will also be made. II is said, to educate
these beasts so that they mag become fnir.
ly efficient domestic servants. The school
is so young as yet, however, that what 1t
will accomplish Is entirely u matter Of
speculation. Its professors are cnthu-
siastio about their novel work and seem
TO think that a now field Of usefulness viii
