THE PASSING OF
THE SHAKERS.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Sister Anana, Oldest of the Shakers
o. Canterbury, N. H., died a few
weeks ago. A city girl, who is familiar
with the manner of life among these
people, recalls some of the history of
the Shakers, an anecdote of two of the
life of the members of the Canterbury
community, and few of the customs
which impressed her.
From the point of view Of the
Shaker the world is divided into what
they call the worlds people and them
selves. OF their tenets the public
knows little. That they do not marry
is as much as the wording usually
has time to learn of these interest
ing voluntary exiles from the common
strife.
So far as a stranger can gather,
were one for time resident with
them, the Shaker is sort of Unitarian
Christian with added broad tolerance
for many Buddhistic teachings.
The founder of the order, in ITO,
was a woman, Ann Lee. Shakers be-
lieve that she was pre-eminent, not to

concern by all kinds of people every

Haverhill is one of the most indus
trious of the manufacturing towns of
Massachusetts. 1t has a population
upward of 40, 900. 1t has about TWEEN
ty miles of street railways, gas plants
and electric lighting plants, about
dozen grammar schools, public high
school, public library and four fine
parks. In Haverhill are nearly 800
factories, covering nearly seventy in
dustries and employing nearly 10000
men. The principal industry is the
manufacture of boots and shoes, in
which are invested many millions of
dollars.

A TRANSPACIFIC
OCEAN CABLE.

The great transpacihe cable pro-
jected from the United States to the
Philippines will be one Of the most
important media of communication
between the civilized nations of the
earth. The plans under consideration
contemplate connection with Manila
by the shortest possible route, and an
examination of the accompanying
map will clearly disclose this method.
San Francisco is from Honolulu, in the
Hawaiian Islands, distance Of 20s9
miles. From Honolulu to Ualan is
251S miles; frcm Ualan Island to Guam
Island is distance Of 1900 miles, and
from Guam to Manila q distance of
1900 miles for cable, but about
1860 miles for a steamer. by using
the island of Ualan, or Strong's ISL
and, the cable will get a break in the
great distance which it would other
wise have to traverse.
The Photographic Office Of the
Navy is only waiting for the word to
begin a survey of the route. That
portion of the path to be traversed
which lies between the coast of Cali
fornia and the Hawaiian Islands was
carefully mapped some years ago, but
the remainder of the track, from Homo
lulu to Luzon, extends over a region
of sea floor that is as yet unexplored.
The cable will go by way of Hawaii,
OF course, and thence to one of the
islands of the Caroline group. A
telegraph station, if nothing better,
will be obtained by Uncle Sam in the
latter archipelago. The distance
from Honolulu to Ualan in the Caro-
lines is 2518 miles. From Ualan the
wire rope will extend 1900 miles to
Guam, which becomes the property of
the United States by the new treaty
with Spain. 1t will cover its last
stretch, 1900 miles, as a crow would
fly from Guam to the Gulf of Dingala,
which is on the east coast of Luzon.
To reach Manila it would have to go
around the Island of Luzon, and it
will be a great saving of cable and of
trouble also to make the landing on
the east side, connecting with a tele-
graph crossing Luzon to Manila, only
thirty eight miles.
The distances are all official, as re-
corded at the Navy Department. If
that from Honolulu to San Francisco,
2OS9 miles, be added, it will be seen
that the total length of the cable will
be 7107 miles. 1t is estimated that

On European railways the practice
OF Issuing free transportation is al
most unknown. In England there is
an interchange of passes between the
chief officials of the road, but only to
a very limited extent. On the CONT
nent of Europe even this practice
does not prevail and cash payments
are required for all forms of railway
transportation.

women there impress you as in
tellectually stronger than women of
the world. Their equality with men
recognized in all daily life, it mas the
effect of centering their energies and
expanding their self-esteem.
''The Shaker communities are re-
cruited from outside. 1t has not been
an uncommon instance where father
and mother and children have united
with these people, and all lived as
brothers and sisters thereafter. +"
The Shakers do not marry ct all,
and never have married. For increase,
they depend solely upon converts from
among the worlds people. These lit
tie Shaker communities, which have
continued for more than 100 years,
and which might seem to be the ideal
life of the new woman, gradually are
fading away. There are no known
evidences that strong men and women
are uniting with them to take the
places of their dying leaders.

the making and laying of the wire
rope will come to about $1,000 a mile,
so that the entire expense involved
will be only $7,1O7, 900. This in
cludes everything except the pre-
liminary survey, which, being per-
formed by naval vessel, will not
appear as an item in the account.
This rope which is to wriggle its
way beneath seven thousand miles of
ocean, bringing two continents into
close touch and communication, will
be an inch and a quarter in diameter,
and will weigh ton and a quarter to
the mile. The bill introduced in the
House by Mr.. Corlis, of Michigan, re-
quires that the cable shall transmit at
least fifteen words a minute, at not
more than 81 word, press matter to
be at half rates.
At present telegram sent from
Manila to New York must go by way
of Hong Kong, around Asia, across
Europe, and under the Atlantic-13,-
600 miles under water and 700 miles
over land. The cables being con-
trolled by a monopoly, the price is
about SO per word This monopoly
will be smashed by the new transpa-
cific line.
The cable stations at Ualan aud
Guam will require no elaborate plant.
For such purpose it is necessary
merely to build little house and
haul blight of wire rope up on shore.
Once established, it will be no great
expense to maintain the cable across
the Pacific. Breaks are rare, and
usually near shore; the wire rope en-
bedded in The ooze of the depths will
last for centuries. When the line is
completed it will be practicable to
send q message around the world in
three seconds. The plan contem-
plated is that when finished the cable
shall be handed over to the Postofice
Department, to be operated as part OF
the postal service. All net proceeds
will be covered into the Treasury, and
in this way the cable will be made to
pay for itself in course of time.

The inroads that women are max
ing on those professions and indus
tries that few years ago were filed
more OF less exclusively by men offer
an interesting problem to the sociolo-
gist. The puzzling question is: What
did the elder sisters of these women
do? Girls are now employed as sales
women in many stores that few years
ago were served entirely by men and
women have even intruded the edito-
rial sanctum and read their illusions
in other parts of the paper than on
the "Woman's Page" The law, med
icine, and even architecture offer new
avenues for woman's endeavor LIE
Figaro of Paris is astounded at this
state of affairs in the United States,
ard says that the day is not
far off when all positions save those
of the most arduous toll will be filled

published on the subject has refer
ence to women accountants and seere-
taries of firms and companies. There

SPANS protests, complaints and
lamentations have peryaded the whole
course of the negotiations with a per-
sistency which curiously illustrates
her utter misconception of her own
defeat, says the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser. She bows to our SUI
perior force, but deems it cruel in
Fiction; she disdains our greed, yet
takes our money; she looks upon us
as a conqueror without that nice re-
gard for Spanish honor, which, for
sooth, anyone familiar with its his
tory ought to have, and manifestly
suffers from wounded self-love which
refuses to be healed. SO does the
man who fails in business or cannot
otherwise gain the respect and consid-
Grafton for the lack of which he suf-
fers. To him the mortgageo OF bond
holder or successful business rival are
offenders against whom he bears q
personal grudge. They have feeced
him, dishonored him, ruined him.
That is the way Spain looks at it, not
being aware, evidently, that her own
sloth and corruption have put her out
of the race of nations.
