The Ribbo Counter villain Had He

Harper's- BlZar: II cut a clipping out

might be of service to you, Miss Rick
cts said the ribbon-counter boardcr as
he looked across the table at tea time.
Indeed" said Miss Ricketts,, encour-
aginsly.
Yes. I'll read it to YOU"
Conversation flushed as the ribbon
counter boarder began to read the follow
ing:
'If your ears stick out from your head
as though a gale of wind were blowing
behind them, take a piece of common
elastic band about eighteen inches in
lie lgth and am inch or two in width"
BY this time Miss Ricketts, had flushed
Il painful red. and had calculated Sir"
once or twice, but the ribbon-counter
boarder did not hear her, for he went on:
Sew the ends together. On retiring
put the band over the cars from the back
of the neck to the fo rehead. Continue the
use of this band until the ears lie back
| properly. You will find this the easiest
and best method in the world for shaping
ugly ears"
When the ribbon-counter boarder fin
ished and looked up he caught a glimpse
of Miss Ricketts, disappearing form az
it rushed out of the room and upstairs.
| With a satisfied smile he folded the clip.

castaways and raising them in other
colonies after the anne manner"
Those who wish to remain in Shalam
and choose to marry are assigned a
house and it's accomplishments, with as
much land as they can cultivate. If
they prefer celibacy and to devote their
lives to caring for little children as
they were cared for, then the opportun-
ity is before them so to do, either in
this or some. of the other colonies, with
a certainty of a comfortable mainte-
nance for life. The Faithists do not
expect a great deal from the present
brood of children. These, they say,
were born in the world and have much
of the contentious natures of their
carnivorous ancestors upon them, but
they expect that their grandchildren
or their great-grand children born in
these communities and having ances-
tors who have lived on pure food and
breathed pure air and had healthy sur
roundings, will be indeed a different
race of people, capable of living with
out the competitive system.

About to BE Opened for the Use OF

What Is described as a model station
will be opened, according to schedule,
Oct. Is, at One Hundred and Twenty
fifth street and Fourth avenue, for the
accommodation of the people of Har-
lem, who are now using a temporary
station on the railroad viaduct at that
point. The new station is to be for
the Harlem and Hudson river trains.
1t has been constructed level with the
street under the metallic yiaduct n
Il n from One Hundred and Twenty
fifth street, Its dimensions being 200
feet by 40 feet. The exterior is or
white terra Gotta brick; the interior
is finished in carved oak. Among the
features of the new station are the fol-
lowing: An information bureau, pare IL
telephone office. One difficulty long
connected with the Harlem station or
the Central has been the inability OF
passengers to have their baggage han
died, but this cause Of annoyance is to
be obviated in the new station, for two
elevators have been constructed to car
ry the baggage between the station and
the street. On either side of the sta
ton are to be baggage rooms, and the
station is to be lighted throughout by
electricity and be heated by steam. A

Talent in Rags.

Philadelphia Record: A number of we'll
known theatrical people were drinking and
chatting in a North Eighth street saloon q few
nights ago, when a tough-looking specimen Of
the genus hobo blew into the place and ap-
preached the group at the bar. He was shaggy
and unkempt, and the effects of years of con-
slant tippling was apparent in the rich color
ing of his nose. In a very husky Weary Willie
voice he asked If he and his pal might enter
tain the crowd. This permission being granted,
he went to the door and called out: 'Chang!'
The crowd was amazed to see a disreputable
looking Chinaman come ambling in and stand
by the tramp's side. With a short introduction
the oddly-assorted pair went to work and dis
played some really remarkable feats in leger-
domain, one feat in particular proving very
mystifying. This was to allow any person to
take his own penknife and plunge the blade
into the Celestial's arm or leg in any spot
they pleased. After repeated encores mind
reading was resorted to and a really fire exhi-
bition was given. After this one of the audi
ence. who was recognized as a magician, drew
the pair aside and tried to bargain for the Sc
cret OF the knife trick, The men wouldn't tell.
however, and after about SO had been collected
they departed.

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
a score of conceited adults, and fail
to redeem one" On this wise proverb
Of Oahspe, the new Bible" a commun-
istic colony has been established in
Dona Ana County, New Mexico. Its
purpose is to reform the world by be-
ginning with the babies. The pro-
man it 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. In 1882, the book
named "Oahspe" was printed on a
typewriter by DR.. J. b. Newbrough Of
New York. 1t was claimed to be TO-
s"::ad. In this Bible was the Book
OF Jehovih's Kingdom on Earth"
which CAV a plan for the raising up
OF a new race of people, living under
new conditions on the earth, by begin
ming with the young. In the spring OF
1884 DR.. Newbrough and a few others

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 Shala:n.
1t is in a 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

the same as one would speak of the
ad%aptability of the soil for %cabbages.
The children now there are assorted
into three groups, according to age,
and fed according to invariable rule.
Those from 4 months to / year old
have milk fresh from the COWS night
and morning, and at noon pap"
Pap" is white -four and water made
into a smooth thin batter and stirred
into warm milk, and allowed to co11e
to a boil. They are bathed daily at
8 a. M, and after that take a 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 hen they are
put to bed. The ventilation of their
room is arranged for the night; the
light is taken away, n it is a very
rare occurrence that a sound is heard
in their room until morning, though
there are eight of them in the room.
Those. from l to 4 years of age have
breakfast of fruit, fresh milk and

fruit, grains and milk. They take
their baths at 5 p. M. and go to bed
at 6 p. m. Though there are twenty
five children sleeping in this building,
it is seldom necessary to get up and
attend to any of them during the
night. They are fed on a theory that
it is not. what is eaten but what is
appropriated that gives health. They
think the, average child's digestive ap-
paratus is worked too hard. There
have been no contagious diseases
among the children since the place
was started, and no medicine has been
given for a number of years. The chill
dren go barefooted and b~areheaded
nearly the whole year, because they
prefer to, and most of the time wear
but one garment. They play as other
children play and eat heartily and
sleep soundly and do not know what
it is to be sick. The older one do al
the homework, except the cooking an(
laundry work, and have much of thu
care of the little ones, thus fitting
themselves to be useful members of
