SENSELESS sacrifices TO
SUPERSTITION.
The Human Sacrifices of the
Nineteenth Century.

IL was the custom of the ancient
Britons to honor Wooden with gigan-
tic holocaust. A huge figure. bearing
the rude outlines OF man. was fash
loned OF wicker work, and into this
hgure were thrust the struggling forms
OF men and women. Then the priests
applied fire to the structure and the
miserable victims of human super-
sution were roasted to death We
shudder as we think of such barbarism.
We give thanks that we live in the
nineteenth century anu i'm free Amer
lea And yet, in this free land, super
stition has its votaries and its victims.
statistics prove that each year one
sixth of all the men and women who
die are victims Of a disease popularity

Scrantonian Observation-Disclosures
Happenings.
Considerable excitement was caused
on North Main street last evening by
the actions of a local busiE'ss man
who, half crazed by drink and threat
ening to drown himself, ran down be-
tween the Sweeney house and Dr. /. >.
Graves residence towards the river,
Some men who had heard the threat
procured a lantern and after searching
the river for some time, found him
living in the thick underbrush, He
was brought back and persuaded to go
to bed but would not listen TO the
friendly advise given him and later
again dashed down towards the river.
Chief mckinley, who came along, join
ed in the search, and after about tif-
teen minutes the chief discovered him
in the bushes. The presence OF the
chief seemed to sober him somewhat
and he had the alternative Of going to
his hotel and to bed or the lookup,
He accepted the former and the large
crowd who had been drawn tc the vic
unity by the report of the contemplated
suicide dispersed.
Aleck Mulhollick, q Hungarian, en-
poyed at the Delaware and Hudson
breaker, was painfully injured yester-
day, having his lip and other parts OF
the face cut so badly that it required
the services of DR.. |. $. Graves to dress
and stitch his injuries. The accident
was caused by the breaking Of plank
upon which a pillar block was being
unloaded from a wagon Mulholltck
was standing behind the heavy casting
when the plank broke and in falling
his face came upon the sharp edge OF
the block.

The Youth in Equality.
Emily Potts.

Long ago when anticipating visit to
Equality promised my friends to write and
tell them all about the colony. Since my ar
rival found that | could not fulfill my prom
ises, for neither tongue can tell nor pen des-
cribe the colony; it must be seen and then the
plan studied. This colony has great and
grand future before it, and with the assistance
of it's friends surely success will follow las
am writing for the woman's column, as we
are just among ourselues), l shall tell you of
the children, especially those in the kinder
garten. The bell rings at eight o'clock in the
morning; they have lunch at ten o'clock: they
remain in school until twelve, then go to
dinner They are called together again at
p. m. AT three o'clock they have lunch and
are dismissed at o'clock.
They have not the requisite supplies for
the kindergarten, having only blocks and
charts, tables and seats. but live in hopes
that soon money can be spared to purchase
the necessaries for this very important branch
of work. There are 81 at present from the
age of three to six years old. They are
very bright. sweet set of children. They
win the hearts of all visitors to Equality.
Once in a great while they have quarrel.
but are soon shown their mistake, they will
lingly ask pardon and go off with each other;
they are kept nice and clean, there being no
excuse for dirt here. Washing anG ironing
are done free for ALL If the children are
continued as they have started they will
make unselfsh men and women. They have
taken part in some of the entertainments and
have shown splendid talent if developed,
We so oten hear the question asked how do
the women dress at the colony. While at
work they wear wrappers made in the latest
STYLE there being some very neat sewers here.
All ladies wear big aprons while at work In
the summer there are many white aprons
worn: but at present, with the inconvenent
way of washing, all such clothing is layed
aside.
On Sunday every one changes their clothes
and clean up, put on better dress the men
do likewise, unless some very urgent work is
to be done. One very noticible thing here is
that the men are nicely shaved once or twice
week, hair always in trim, clean overalls
and shirt, for all here believe that cleanliness
is next to godliness. The young people are
like brothers and sisters. They are not class
ed off as you see in the outer world.
ON December Goth crowd of young peo-
pie, accompanied by husband and myself took
lunch, went to oyster creek made tea and
roasted apples over camp fire, and ate our
dinner on a table cloth of ferns.

One of the Factors.

The development and success of this or
any other colony depends to great extent
upon the spirit in which the wives, sisters
and daughter of colonists cooperate together
for the common good. Their influence is
such SIS to form an Independent factor for or
against success. 1t is fact that our sex have
not studied the socalistic and cooperative
movement to any great extent, and have not
seen its necessity like our brothers have, so
they are lukewarm on the subject. | venture
to say, however, that there is as great a per
cent OF socialists among women as there is
or ever was in any other colony of the same
age and that our sisters are growing in
the spirit of the cooperative movement, |
can see from day to day.

the log cabins. There were about twenty
children them from three to twelve years old
Later it was moved in one room of apartment

into two rooms, the primary and grammar.
From there it was moved into the present
school-2Sx6S feet, ceiling II TT. high. There
are about 20 pupils, and we employ three

Although we have not made much advance

great improvements.

as to quantity, seems a whole lot for one fam
lily. Here are a few of the items: Sixty mince
pies, 80 apple pies, 400 tarts, 300 rusks, 400
biscuits, 300 loaves of bread, 10 bu. of apples,
5pounds of coffee Ii pounds of butter 10 gall
Ions of milk, 30 quars of berries. The above
list was furnished the editor by Supt. Halla-
day, and therefore can be vouched for as
correct-except the cookies that he ate.
