QUEER COLONY IN PARAGUAY.
Settlement of Australians in
south America

One Of the strangest colonies In the
world is probably that of Cosme,
founded in Paraguay by colonists Of
English blood from Australia.
The property of the colonists is all
held in common and all their work is
done in common--cultivating, build
ing, housekeeping-but each family
may occupy house by itself. There Is
no currency but labor, and every col
onist has to give the colony sc hours
labor a week. II he works longer he
establishes labor credit which he can
draw on at any time. Only teetotallers
are acceptedas colonists.
A single man may put in extra labor
10 provide himself with house on his
marriage. If labor to his credit is not
sufficient the colony will allow him an
overdraft to a certain amount He
could have as large q house ss he
chooses. although he would be consid-
cred foolish to have q larger posses
sion than he needs.
Having paid for his house he can
draw upon his surplus labor for any
thing else he requires. or he can use his
leisure for cultivating his garden or
any other private. purpose. While
the house has been built by the

AMERICAN MEAT in BRITAIN.
Two-Thirds of the Beef Consumed
by Englishmen Comes from
the United States.

Tables issued Of the quantities and
values Of the various forms of agri-
cultural produce imported into the
United Kingdom show q further IN
crease over those of the immediate
preceding year alike in the groups OF
live animals, of dead meat, of dairy
products, OF eggs and of poultry. Meas
ured in aggregate value, the payments
made for imports Of animal produce
In 1897 exceeded Ell, 800 900, which ID
. larger total than has before been re-
corded, the more material increases
ever 1896 being in round numbers near
ly 6 l,0oo,0 900 IN live animals imported
for food, E2,soo, 900 for dead meat, and
&1,soo,Ooo for dairy produce.
Cattle imported alive in 1897 num-
bered 61S,000 head and the sheep 612,-
900. These animals represent in the
aggregate an addition to the meat sup
ply of the year of something like 4,5oo,-
600 hundredweight, while the beef,
mutton, bacon, hams and other forms
Of imported meat were over 14,700,000
hundredweight. These two classes Of
sea-borne food together exceeded by
l,650,000 hundredweight the meat i'm
ports of 1896, and, collectively, sup
Piled ration Of 81 pounds per head Of
the population, against foreign sup
ply of 40 pounds per head on the aver
age Of the five years 1878. As the
home production has been nearly sus-
tanned these figures suggest further
development of the meat-consuming
power OF the population, which was the
subject of detailed examination in the
report of the returns for 1896. More
meat, home and foreign, In the aggre-
gate was available In 1897 than in any
previous year, and the growth of sup
PLIES continues to outstrip that Of pop
ulation. The conditions of the year
point TO the consumption Of 131 pounds
by each unit of the people, as against
an average of 122 pounds per annum
In the quinquennium of 1915, as much
as II per cent. Of the whole being the
produce Of other countries and SO per
cent. furnished by the cattle, sheep
and swine of the United Kingdom IT
self.
Sums paid for the sections of our i'm
ports which are Of vegetable origin
have not moved upward with the same
regularity as the aggregate values Of
the imports belonging to the animal
category. The wheat imports of 1897
were less than in any calandar year
since 1890, and less by SO pounds per
head Of the inhabitants Of the United
Kingdom than in the previous year.
The United States supplied two-thirds
OF the $4,000 head received coming
from that country, while Argentine
sheep were handled alive in 1897 in
greater numbers than those from any
other country. The dead meat i'm
ports are as formerly more than half
OF American origin. three-fourths of
the fresh beef imported and more than
two-thirds of the bacon and hams i'm
ported being also Of American produc-
tion. The supplies from Australasia
are next IN magnitude, two-thirds Of
the mutton coming from this quarter.

AN ARCTIC CHRISTMAS.
Though Starving, Good VIII and Love
Were the Countersign of Gen.
GreeIy.

Zone Christmas day we all asked our
selves the same wondering question:
"Was there ever such another Christ
mas as ours?" writes Gen. a. w. Gree
ly, of his awful winter at Cape Sabine,
where is of his party of "a explorers
perished. 1T was feast day for
which certain food was set apart, and
1t was as if we had almost enough to
eat. The self-denial of two months
now gave US about three ounces each
of rice, which was stewed, with about
equal amounts of raisins and con-
densed milk-the only sweet, as our
sugar was gone. Then came cup Of
chocolate, and in the evening gill of
hot rum-a precious stimulant saved
for emergencies. In the health,
strength and plenty Of the past TWO
years there was always complaining,
which was rare in the misery of that
period The Christmas silent endur-
ence blossomed into speech. and each
strove TO outdo in sympathy and af-
lection. The embers OF hate, that oft
glowed under the breath OF eircum-
stances, lost their last spark OF malice.
Good will and love were the parole
and eountersign OF the day. How can
such wealth OF things spiritual spring
up in wretched environment of things
material If 1t be not the expression Of
immortal souls? Sure it was that our
bodies were fast coming to death, so
slowly but inevitably they were get
ting out of adjustment with our en-
vironment of biting cold and bitter
hunger. The soul appears to thrive
where the body fails. Fairer were
some of these faces to me, since many
turned all their manly strength to act
and work for others good. AS to our
faith and hope, stronger on that
Christmas day than ever, they have
been voiced by Cardinal Newman as
II for us alone at that time:

It still
Will lead me on

Deepdene lies in a valley through
which runs a lovely cool stream, so that
it is always a pleasant place in which
to live.
Cliveden, the property of the father
of Miss Pauline Aston, is presided over

Cliveden was at one time the most ex-

While it is easy to hire a castle in
England, it is difficult to rent one from
an American owner, for these young
women so enjoy being the little princess

strangers, preferring even to deny
themselves the pleasure of a London
house Although, it may be said, that
most of them own a London residence
as well as a castle.

lined. The work was partially begun
during the tenure of the former Ameri-
can Duchess, but the untimely death Of
the Duke stopped the work
The present Duchess finding so much
of the house in magnificent order,
turned her attention out of doors and
constructed some of the most beautiful
bridges to be found anywhere. There
is one with small cool rooms of stone
built underneath the bridge, and there
is another which is thrown across like
a suspension bridge.
Lady Curzon, of KedIeston, when at
home, is the mistress of the castle
whose name she bears. It is a splendid
old house. like all the old castles Of
England, and is constructed principally
with a view to the exterior. In the
outside of the house made a wonderful
difference in the respect in which the
owners were held.
For that reason, to make a showing,
the castles were built upon a hill, and
one of the most conspicuous features
of each of these is the fort, which name
is given to the large square structure
which rises at the front of the castle.
There are many wonderful castles
owned outside of England by titled
Americans. One of these will become

The Cantacuzene castle is situated
not far from St. Peters burg, in the
center of the immense family estates.

1t is a fact, frequently commented
upon, that the very finest castles in the
old world, around which linger legends
historic and romantic, are occupied
and frequently Owned-by women of
the new world, whose ancestors, many
of them, never stepped upon European
SOIL, unless, mayhap, in an after death
form, their spirits accompanied their
fair descendants over the sea and rev.
eled with them in the joy of possessing
an ancestral home.
The English suburbs are peculiar.
They are dotted, if one may use so
small a word to describe such magnifi-
cence, with great houses which were
built, many of them. two hundred years
ago, and which were intended to serve
for all time as family residence.
When an Earl dies in England his
property is not divided among his chill
dren, but it goes entirely, if it be land,
to his eldest son. Upon the eldest
sons death it goes to his eldest son
again and so through all time.
The most the Earl can do, if he be
needy, is to mortgage his estates,
which, it may be said, he generally
does in one generation or another.
There is not a. magnificent castle in
England, it is believed, which has not
been heavily mortgaged- There have
been peers like the late Duke of MARI
borough, who have deSpoiled their cas-
ties. even selling the great silver fast
enings that We're on the doors, and dis
posing of the priceless stained glass
windows that were brought at great
expense over miles of country.

renovates the house. She brings tapes

By Oscar Muller, the Veteran Trainer
and Hunter Of wild Beasts-

By Oscar Muller, the Veteran Trainer
and Hunter of Wild Beasts
The recent horrible death OF the most
famous animal trainer in Germany
calls attention to a profession which,
while it brings its rewards, requires the
greatest heroism.
The care and training of animals is
a profession to which a man must be
born. If Nature has not provided him
with an iron Will, nerves OF steel ana
an indOmitable patience, it will be the
best thing for his health to keep some
strong bars between himself and any of
the ferOciOus animals have seen
men who were entirely untitled for the
work attempt to train animals and
sooner or later they have paid for their
foOlhardy ambition with their lives
To the born animal trainer, however,
the work has little danger. and the de-
OF beasts love and obey you more than
compensates for the slight risks that
may be run.
Those who are not acquainted with
the art of animal training have little
idea of the labor that is necessary to
the tricks that delight the audiences at
circuses and ZOOS. They admire the
Cleverness shown by the domestic dog
and cat, they wonder at the intelh-
gence of the elephant and the horse,
and they may marvel how any one ever
dared to make friends with the lion
and the tiger; but beyond that they
know nothing.
Speaking from an experience of near
" forty years in the handling of ami
mails 1 can say that it is my opinion
that It is just as easy to teach a ferO-
cious animal as it is to train a cat or
a dog The only thing that is neces-
saTy is to study the character of the
animal, to get thoroughly acquainted
with it, as it were, and then to try to
