been no less than one hundred projects of th.s kind proposed in this country alone, and there have been but few of them that have shown any reasonable indica ton of stability.
 For years California has been one of the favorite spots for these experiments in so- ciology. In 1886 six of these colonies, each with its different conception eff duties and diet, dress and labor, were sbarted in that state. Four years later every one of them had vanished and it has been the same way with scores of others founded on the widest range of basis, from a diet of nuts and fruit and two hours labor a day, to the models of early Christian lafe, or the principles Of French or German socialism.
 One of the most hopeful of these Utopias was started on the slope of the Howell mountain near Sacramento, about eight years ago. The colonists had plenty of mo- ney and they threw themselves heart and soul into the project. It was their theory that ten years work would be sufficient to support member in comfort all his days, and this might have been true if i'll fortune had not come. Suddenly commercial condi- tions changed, wool became so cheap that it was no longer profitable to clip 1t; the price of cattle dropped 50 per cent, and, to top all the crops were a failure. Then came the mortgages and finally, after brave struggle, the end.

SKETCH OF LITTLE
 HEAVENS ON EARTH
And Why the Gospel of Peace Has Never Been a Success in the
 Modern Utopia.

As long as the world endures there will be men whose ambition it will be to at tempt to solve the social problem. Ever since the days of the Brook Farm, to the inception of which so many of the bright est men and women of this country gave their best thoughts, men have dreamed of Utoplas in which all should reside together so peacefully that the world would. be taught a lesson that would persuade 1t to forsake its old moneygrub5ing ways for more ideal method of living. Almost every year has seen the organization of some new Utopia, based upon the visionary dreams of social reformers. In theory these projects may have been correct If they could be successfully carried out they might be able to solve all the soc.al diff faculties of the world, but in nearly every instance the theory, when put into prac- tical operation, has met some insurmount- s3e obstacle, and she Utopia, founded upon such honest hopes, become another of t,ae many failures.
 The story of Brook Farm is a familiar one to every student of American affairs. Never in the world has such colony been organized under more suspicious circum- stances, and yet the Brook farm disap- peared thoroughly many of the less pretentious colonies Of later years. Since une days. of the Brook Farm there have

up bright for the future success of the col ony. There was no lack of money, and the land was fertile. As in other places, however, the unpleasant traits of human mature began to develop in spite of the efforts of the founder of the sect The women began to quarrel among themselves and the men were drawn into their brois, until at last, discouraged by the apparent failure of his ltseis project, pr. Staiaeger went away and commjtted suicide. A few weeks later the colony was visited by fire and from that its dissolution was only a matter of a short time.
 Few of those who have read the works of Bellamy and who have dreamed of an ideal commonwealth, where each citizen Is equal to every o,rler citizen, and all are alike win common fund are aware that the ideas embraced in the ma Xim-"equal rights to all and special privileges to none' were actually applied as far buck as 1Si5 At that time what is now historically known as Bethany colony was founded on the winding shores of North river in Shei- by county, Missouri, by pr. William Keil u Methodist preacher Of German descent
 The history of the Bethel colony is re- mGrka5le for the fact that 1t is the first recorded instance in which the principles of communism We're ever successfully Gp- piled for any length of time. In this case the doctrines of Dr. Keil were communism pure and simple, except for the fact that the founder regarded himself as exempt from the general. rule in that he retained the guiding hand over his people.

a place where the sun would always shine for them, the earth blossom at their bid ding, and where, above all else there should be no political spies or literary eensors In California they found such spot, but as none of them knew any thing about agricul- ture things did not prosper as they had an- ticipated and they finally returned to Po- land poorer but wiser for their experiment.
 In the early seventies band of colonists bought 400 acres of land in lovely Califor- mia valley. There were fifty Frenchmen and about thirty Americans in the party and their purpose was to live up to the so- cialistic teachings of Etinne Cavet, who held that individualism was the cause of selfishness and that selfishness was the mother of poverty as well as of nearly all the human ills In this colony individual ism was sternly checked. If colonist de- sired a new suit of clothes or wished to read a book, if a mother wished to fog her child, the action could not be performed without the consent of the ruling commit tee For a time these principles were lit- erally carried out. but one by one the colo nists became dissatisfied and when the crops failed the handful that were left were glad to sell their property for the prover- Dial song.
 A similar fate met the famous Schlaegel colony that was also instituted In Cali fornia. In this instance everything opened

He reigned as completely as sovereign ever reigned and under his administration the colony prospered and grew rich and this condition of things continued until 1858 when the founder, who had been seized with the western fever, determined to found another colony in the country that had just been opened He left Missouri but he never returned. Before his long journey had end- ed he fell sick and died and his body is now buried beneath the Oregon pines.
 The history of the Bethel colony after his death is so brief that it may be told in a things went from bad to worse and the col ony gradually dwindled away until nothing was left of it but a memory.
 The history of Ruskin, Tenn, furnishes another instance of a colony that although stances was unable to weather the tides of fortune. Ruskin was founded about five years ago by J. A. Wayland, afterwards a resident of Kansas. For a time 1t was one of the most promising cooperative col onies in the country, and its paper, The Coming Nation had circulation of more than 15, 5,000 copies.
 Wayland was thorough believer In the principles of communism. and his faith in human nature was perfect. He believed that man needed but an opportunity to de- velop the best that was in him and he gave them that opportunity.
 All went well for a few months and then a quarrel arose between Wayland and the men whom he was trying to help. The re- suit of this quarrel was that eventually the founder withdrew from the town that his

money had built up. For a few years the colony continued to exist however, and once it looked as If it would actually be 8 success, but more trouble came. the minor ity appealed to the courts, law suit follow ed law suit and finally the town of Ruskin went into the hands of a receiver.
 Such was the history of one of the latest efforts of men to apply the principles of communism to everyday life It is true that there are colonies today and it is, of course, possible that some of them may be able to prove themselves exceptions to the rule of the universal failure of such schemes. The little town of Pinton, in Colorado, is a prosperous community. and everything Is ideal at a socialistic colony on the Zuyder Zee.
 A new Bellamy colony has just been es- tablished near Lancaster, Mass, and an- other communistic colony has been insti- tuted in Missouri by band of thinking men and women from St. Louis, and it is not at all impossible that some of these political idealists may be able to prove that the time has come when people are good enough to work without money and live without quarreling.
 The history of colonistic effort up to the present time, however, has been to prove that there Is no short cut to Heaven on earth. and that men who have been train- ed form birth to grab and compete with

10 Clean Kid Gloves

Gloves of smooth kid can be cleaned very easily at home; also can those made Of chamois. For the latter a little ammonia dropped into a basin of water is all that is necessary, with the addition of a gSft soap. The gloves should be carefully rins- ed and put on a dummy hand so that the fingers will not shrink while drying. Or if one has not dummy the gloves can sim ply bo stretched out in the sun on piece of clean cloth until they are dried. Was.l glazed gloves in gasoline, being careful of the fire Do not light the gas. Clean the gloves carefully with piece of flannel air well, and before they are put away sprin- kle a little sachet powder into them to take away any odor that may remain after the cleansing process.
