: The Best Method Of Reforming the World. !.


Better it is to labor with a child
from infancy, and thence to maturity,
to teach it right, than to strive with
score ut conceited adults, and fail
to redeem one.'' On this wise proverb
of Oahspe, ''the new Bible,'' commun-
lstlc colony has been established in
bona Ana County, New Mexico. Its
purpose is to reform the world by be-
ginning with the babies. The pro-
moters believe that to make good
man 1t is necessary to begin with his
great-grandfather. The attempts of the
past to make the world better have
failed, they think, because they began
at the wrong end. Tn 1882, the book
named "Oahspe'' was printed on a
typewriter by DR.. J. B. Newbrough of
New York. It was claimed to be in
spired. In this Bible was the Book
or Jehovih's Kingdom on Earth"
which gave a plan for the raising up
O. new race of people, living under
new conditions on the earth, by begin
hlng with the young. In the spring of
1884 DR.. Newbrough and few others
established colony at Pearl River,
New York. They stayed there a few
months, and then removed to New
Mexico, settling on a tract of 1000
acres. They called the place Shalan.
1t is in bend of the Rio Grande, in
the Messila Valley, fifty miles north
of Ell Paso, Tex. Buildings large
enough to accommodate sixty children
and the adults to care for them were
constructed. This land and all the i'm
provements was decided to trustees and
their successors forever, for the use
and benefit of the children then III

picked up when only few days old,
b and none of them know any home but
Shalam. Under law of New Mexico
all of them are adopted by the assOcia-
tion of Faithists, and become legally
their children. The business of the
Faithist is the raising of children.
1.-The climate is delightful and admir-
ably adapted to the raising of chill
dren,' says one of the trustees, much
the same as one would speak of the
adaptability of the soil for cabbages.
The children now there are assorted

and fed according to invariable rule
Those from 1 months to I year old

into smooth thin batter and stirred
into warm milk, and allowed to co1ae

a. M, and after that take nap until
noon. When pleasant in the after
noon, blankets are spread on the grass
under the trees in front of the chill
dren's house, and the little ones roll
around on them until it is time for
them to get ready for their evening
meal of fresh milk, and then they are
put to bed. The ventilation of their
room is arranged for the night; the
light is taken away, and it is a very
rare occurrence that sound is heard
in their room until morning, though
there are eight of them in the room.

Prospecting continues. at the old
Comet district. Work there years
ago for high grade silver ores but
latterly gold veins are looked for.
Owen Smith and Jesse Peaslee have
discovered a 4 foot assure vein in
porphyry three miles north of the
Lyndon mine. Assays run from
$500 to $11. 90 ton gold.
The Prudential boys have work
ed on the old Comet mine steadily
for months past. The ore is now
about two feet wide, quartz, carry
ing gold values from $500 to sos. 90
