-Sauer kraut is bully, and we are
making some for winter use.
Our colonists begin to look with
compassion upon the toiling masses
outside.
Our teachers are holding weekly
meetings, and soon we expect some
results.
Order and system demand that we
do the first thing first, and all things
in their time and place.
We are building a furnace and
copper bottom boiler to make apple
butter and other good truck to eat.
-Four teachers are now required in
our school, with proba bility that an
extra one will be employed part of
the time.
Our secretary has cold sweats
when our comrades begin to rehearse
the second and third times in general
assembly.
The carpenters are putting up a
woodshed near the kitchen. This en-
ables the boys to put in rainy days
sewing and splitting stove wood.
We have been criticised for neg
lecting our poultry. The criticism is
just. The fact is we have been badly
pushed with work, and organization
is matter of time and patience.
We are having bad weather for
threshing our oats, but may squeeze
in between showers yet. Next year
we hope TO own threshing machine
and thus save our crop besides earn
ing something on the outside.
The first thing needed here is a
35-horse power steam logger and land
clearer, otherwise called a donkey en-
CINE. 1t is important that every COM
rade do whatever he can afford to Sc
cure one at once and we'll do the.
rest.
We must build some roads this
winter in order to let the surrounding
farmers have access to our products.
This is big job, but when we get our
donkey engine it will dwindle into a
moderate undertaking. Anyway, we
shall tackle il.
We hope the outside friends will
not get wrong impression from our
constant mention of the donkey en-
CINE. The continuous dropping of
water wears away stone. Have an
idea or a purpose, concentrate apon
it and work for it and it is finally
yours. We viii have that donkey"

A Question of Questions.

When the sentence of Punishment
was pronounced on Adam and Eve, as
we read in Genesis, they were given to
understand that if they wanted any
thing TO eat they must work hard
enough to sweat in order to get it: but
in no passage do we find it limited that
it would be in their power to produce
anything more powerful than them
selves. Over all the beasts of the field
and birds of the air was man to have
dominion.
He was commanded to multiply and
increase, but in no case was he warned
that the increase of fruits and beasts
would be death blow to his indepen-
dence. If he had been he never would
have created more than he could have
consumed. He was cautioned as to the
food he was to eat, and given a moral
code which has never been surpassed.
But on the tablets of stone Moses never
wrote that the Hebrew farmer should
become the servant to the corn he had
raised
No modern savant can read on

typed lie-"Capital always has and al
ways will rule"
uCapital could not possibly have ruled
before it was created, and it would
never have existed except for labor.
Granted today that the statement is
seemingly true, that capital rules: ard
that the surface thinkers can point in
triumph to the freight handlers, coal
and iron miners, weavers and spinners.
starved into submission; granted that
every law passed in the federation of
states for the last hundred years has
been dictated by capital: granted that
we can point with pride to immense
mills erected upon foundation of in
fants' bones: granted that the ghosts of
a multitude of overworked, murdered
girls, fit in shadowy train after the
cotton mill lord on his European tour:
granted that we have put into the hands
of capital the combined villainy of the
age, with a golden key to unlock every
prison door: all this and more may be
true: yet the stern fact still remains.
that Capital is but the recipient of the
bounty which Labor in its ignorance
permits Capital to take from it, and
whenever the laborers become intelli-
gent enough to stop this foolish giving
and institute an industrial system that
will enable them to keep it unto them
selves, Capital will soon die of poverty.
But when are the workers to thus be-
come in possession of that intelligence?

which the wisest of their friends and

A WONDERFUL CAT.-In San Fran
cisco there is a cat that washes win
dows. 1t belong to one of the Chinese
companies of that city. 1t is cat of
Chinese breed, and those who own il
claim that it belongs to the same fam
lily rs the cats in the temple of the
Emperor OF China. The cat is mix.
ture of Maltese and tortoise-shcll, and
is said to be very beautiful. 1t has a
Chinese name which the newspapers
claim, cannot be rendered into Eng.
lish; so its friends who talk English
have to call it Tom for short. Toms
Chinese friends declare he is so clean
that he will not lie down until he has
busted the place where he is to lie. II
is claimed that he will take a rag and
dip it in pan of water and wash the
glass of the window in front of where
he is going to lie down, and then rub
it dry, and that he has never been
known to lie down in front of the
glass without first washing it. Natur.
alists say that cats are the cleanest
animals in the world, that they abhor
dirt.

out to them, though the movement is
still in its infancy. The citizens ex-
change in Grand Rapids has about a
dozen farmers on its list, and that it
has not hundred or more is due to
the rush of construction work in the
city since the exchange was established.
The first country telephone was to a
farmer about 4 mile west of town.
With direct connection with town he
could sell his stuff in advance, arrange
for his deliveries, and easily keep his
finger on market conditions. 1t gave
him a big bulge upon the other farm
ers, and it did not take his neighbors
long to find it out. The line now
runs out about five miles, and all the
substantial farmers along the line
have hitched on. The farmers north
and northeast of the city are clamor-
ing for connection, and in another
year they will probably be accommo-
dated. The lettuce growers just south
of the city all have connection, but
they are so close to the city they are
hardly called farmers.

EXTRAORDINARY SKILL.
The Russian ThiefS DeXterity As
founded Even the Gar.
Syracuse Standard.


One day while dining together, the
French Ambassador and Grand Duke
OF Russia were discussing the clever
ness of the pickpockets of their respec-
tive countries. The Grand Duke
claimed that the Russian pickpocket
was the most skillful. Seeing the
Ambassador incredulous, he told him
he would, without knowing it, be re-
lieved OF his watch before leaving the
table. He then telephoned to the
head of the police to send at once the
cleverest pick-pocket he could lay his
hands on. The man came and was
put into livery and was told to wait Mt
the table with the other servants. He
was to give the Grand Duke sign as
soon rs he had done the trick.
But this was not given very soon,
for-the Ambassador was very wary and
always kept on the alert and held his
hand on his fob, even when conversing
with the most distinguished guests.
At last the Grand Duke received
the preconcerted signal. He at once
requested the Ambassador to tell him
the time. The latter triumphantly
put his hand in his pocket and pulled
out potato instead of his watch. To
conceal his feelings he would take !.
pinch of snuff-his snuff box was gone.
Then he missed his ring from his
finger, and his gold toothpick, which
he had been holding in his hand in its
little case.
Amid the hilarity of the guests the
sham lackey was requested to restore
the articles, but the Grand Dukes
merriment was changed into alarm
and surprise when the thief produced
two watches, two rings, two snuff
boxes, etc. His Imperial Highness
then made the discovery that he him.
self had been robbed at the same time
that the French Ambassador had been
despoiled so craftily.

discovery. We search every nook and
corner OF the structure carefully as
soon as the doors are closed for the
day, and you may rest assured if any
one who had no business within these
walls was found he would regret the
day he was born"
In addition to the two shifts of night
guards, the superintendent and Assist
ant Custodian have a habit OF drop
ping III at the mint at odd hours of
the night to see that everything is GO
ing on all right.
The mint is connected with the CEN
trail telephone station, and should
there be trouble the captain of the
guard could communicate with police
headquarter in a brief space of time.
"If you come across anybody who
thinks he can get rich quickly by
helping himself to our coin," remarked
the Superintendent in parting "just
advise him to think it over carefully
first"
In compliance with the Superintend-
ent's suggestion, the advice is hereby
given.
And it is pretty good advice to fol-
low too.

The Girls Men Admire.

They admire the girl who is her
mothers right hand in household mat
ters, and who is not above taking an in
terest in the most trivial matters in
connection with house duties. They
admire the girl who is bright, en-
tertaining companion, and who has
ever kind word and pleasant smile
for all with whom she comes in con-
tact. They admire the girl who is
always neatly gowned, no matter if in
inexpensive materials, and who never
dresses loudly or in questionable taste.
They admire the girl who can adapt
herself to any society, who never puts
on affected airs, and who would scorn
to do a mean action. They admire
the girl who in an emergency can turn
her hand to anything. from cooking
the family dinner to retrimming an
old hat. They admire the girl who is
unselfsh enough to give up some
pleasure of her own to benefit another.
and does not consider herself aggrived
at having to do so.

Poison In Plants.

The berries of the yew have killed
many persons, and it is pretty well
known nowadays that it is not safe to
eat many peach pits or cherry kernels
at once.
Among the garden plants commonly
in vogue which possess poisonous
nature, botanists mention the flowers
of the jonquil, white hyacinth and
snowdrop, the narcissus being also
particularly deadly, SO much so, in
deed, that to chew a small scrap oI
one of the bulbs may result fatally
while the juice OF the leaves is an
emetic.
There is enough opium in red
poppies to do mischief, and the
autum crocus, if the blossoms are
chewed, causes illness.
The lobelias are all dangerous, theil
juice, if ifswallowed, producing giddiness
with pains in the head.
Lady's slipper poisons in the same
manner as does poison ivy. The bulbs
seem to be the most harmful. Lilies
of the valley are also as much so.
The leaves and flowers of the
oleander are deadly, and the bark ol
the catalpa tree is very mischievous
the water dropwort, when not in
flower, resembles celery, and is
yirulent.

How Boy Measured Tree

He is not boy in a book; he lives
in our house. He seldom says any
thing remarkable. He eats oatmeal
in large quantities and tears his trousers,
and goes through the toes OF his boots,
and loses his cap, and slams the doors,
and chases the cat, just like any other
boy. But he is remarkable, for he
asks few questions and does much
thinking. If he does not understand,
he whiStles-an excellent habit on
most occasions. There was much
whistling in our yard one summer
1t seemed to be an all summer per-
formance. Near the end of the sea-
son, however, our boy announced the
height of the tall maple tree to be
thirty-three feet.
"Why, how do you know?" was the
general question.
Measured it."
How?"
Foot-rule and yard-stick."
"You didn't climb that tall tree?"
his mother asked, anxiously.
Nom; l just found the length Of
the shadow and measured that"
"But the length of the shadow
changes" "Yes'm; but twice a day
the shadows are just as long as things
themselves, I've been trying all sum-
mer. l drove a stick in the ground,
and when the shadow of the tree
was just as long as the stick I knew
that the shadow of the tree would be
just as long as the tree and that's
thirty-three feet"
$50 that is what you have been
whistling about all summer"
"Did ! whistler" asked Tom.

Telephones for Farmers,

The telephone. like the trolley 70 ad
was first introduced in rather densely
populated districts, says the Home and
Farm. But, like the trolley, it's ad-
vantages are coming to be appreciated
by the farmers, and it is coming into
use in the rural districts as we'll as in
cities. The Electrical World recently
told what is being done by Michigan
farmers in the way of telephony.
In Allegany county they have an ex-
change OF their own, and they main
tain it by annual assessments. The
line runs from Holland through
Saugatuck, Ganges, Douglass and
Fennville to South Haven, and it is
used chiefly during the fruit season to
facilitate the handling of berries and
peaches. About 130 farmers and
fruit growers built the line and main
tain it, and the annual assessment
upon each is about $40.
Every township in Oceana county
has telephone connections with Hart,
the county seat, and this system is
essentially a farmers exchange. and
is owned and maintained chiefly by
the farmers and fruit growers line, is
being connected with State exchange,
and now the peach season is fairly
open, the farmers in both sections will
be in easy talking range of the COM
mission and railroad men here and
the steamboat men at the lake ports.
Gratiot county has another farmers
exchange which, with Ithaca as the
center, has connections with every
township and many farmers. The
system gives free service throughout
the country to its subscribers, and
will soon be connected with the outer
work.. 1t is a great advantage to the
farmers in marketing their products.
Farmers living near the cities are
having the telephone wires extended

THR FUTURE OF ALUMINIUM.
1t is Still Looked Upon as the
Great Coming Metal.

If we leave out iron and its most
important product, steel, the greatest
mctallurgical development of the past
decade is undoubtedly to be found in
the uses of aluminium and its allows.
From being scientific curiosity this
metal has become standard for hun
dreds of uses. To enumerate n few
may give the best idea of the scope of
its application. Some are trifling and
mere luxuries, rs electric fittings,
toilet articles, chains, brides, stirrups,
cigar cases, dishes, spoons and kitchen
utensils, while others are OF particular
Importance, as i'll the construction of
scientific and surgical instruments,
and in the commercial world in the
casting of steel ingots, in marine en-
gineering, for military equipments,
photographic purposes and many
others.
The proposal to use aluminium in
the construction of torpedo boats may
revolutionize the design of such yes
sells, and now that the use of this
metal for bodybuilding, for military
and naval purposes, is an accomplished
fact, startling developments in this di-
rection may be looked for at any time.
Reference is here made to the portable
boats built for the Bristol Trans-Afri-
can expedition, which lately started
under Major Gibbons. These vessels
are built i'll sections on the Hodgetts
principle, each piece measuring six
feet three inches by three feet nine
inches, and weighing less than 12O
pounds, SO that two men can easily
carry one between them on their
shoulders by means of oars. Besides
possessing extreme lightness combined
with strength, owing to their alumni
um construction, the boats of the
tiotilla supplied in this expedition are
designed with interchangeable parts.
This enables at least three different
types of boats to be built of the separ-
ate sections, whichever may be most
convenient. owing to width of stream,
depth of water, presence OF rapids, etc.
Another branch Of marine engineer
ing in which aluminium has already
proved its value is in the construction
of propeller blades. Owing to its
toughness and strength, aluminium
bronze propellers have been built for
most of the twenty.six and thirty
knot torpedo-boat catchcrs, and also
for some Of the French government
warships.
Aluminium plays an important part
in metallurgy, possessing valuable
properties when alloyed in small pro-
portions to other metals, notably
steel. 1t has become an established
practice among steel makers particu-
larly, when casting large ingots, to
add n very small portion of aluminium
to the crucible charge, as this pro-
duces much more homogeneous cast
ings throughout.
These are but few of the more i'm.
portant instances where aluminium
is displacing other metals, and with
the greatly cheapened production OF
the past few years and greater famil-
iarity with its properties. it is evident
that this metal is destined to play a
most important part in this age OF
