one OF similar communities inau-
gurated to carry out the principles of
one Social philosopher or another.
Into them entered many noble men
and women with nigh purpose ana
with the conviction that the secret of
the regeneration OF society and the
world had been committed to them
and was about to be revealed in con-
vtncing realization. There were otf-
er Owenite experiments, one at yell
low Spring, o., another at Neshoba,
in Memphis, Text. and another %
'Haverstraw, in New Pork, another at
CoXsaekie in the same state and a
third at Canton, o., the kendall Com
munIty. Then followed the disciples
of Crarles Fourier. His theory was
not only Socialistic. but kind OF a
compromise of a scheme ,Sf harmony
between capital and labor in which
he gave to all laborers a choice and
variety Of occupations, short hours
and sought to make labor attractive.
The various communities were called
Phalanxes. The famous Brook Farm
at West Roxbury, Mass. was one OF
these. There we're many others but
in ten years or less they. were no
more. Another Frenchman, Ettlenne
Cabot, described what he called a
voyage in Icaria which gave his
ideal of community on comm,un-
istic and socia1istic basis. This led
to the attempt to establish settle

nois and third in Iowa, called lear

Mr.. Morris Hillqlit, leading So
cialast IN this country, reviews this
history and gives as his conclusion,
that the SociaEstic principle is not
adapted at all to small communities,
that It cannot be the result OF legIs-
lation but that it must come through
economic necessity and through she
demand Of one class, the labor class.
By acquiring the political power they
can and should vest all productive
agencies IN the government and then
Will follow regulation of wages,
prices and all economic conditions
with a view to securing community
happiness.
Varying Views.
Il shall not stop to discuss Social
ism in general or what it means,
for 1t might be difficult to give an ac-
curate definition, so varying are the
views Of persons who call themselves
Socialists. But no one can read the
history of these isolated efforts in
the direction Of a regeneration or So
lciety on the Socialistic p,ncipfa ana

JOYS OF Fire DrlIIs.

Fire drills In the schools OF Clarks-
burg so earnestly suggested by Chief
Conlon, the New York fire-hghtiug ex-
pert, who Is now training the local
IRE department with most gratifying
success, have even more than the i'm
portance Of life-saving attached to
them. While they are providing for
that they are also means OF popular
and enjoyable diversions for school
children and thereby bring splen1id
results and benefits. School children
hail them with Joy and teachers say
they intensely interest pupils IN les
sons. A recent issue OF the Pittsburg
Sun gives a description of fire drills
in the schools there and mentions
some of the good things they accom-
plish as follows, which ought to appeal
to the local school authorities to the
extent OF observing FIRE drills in every
school in the city:
There is nothing like Are drill to
keep school children in good humor.
Especially on dull, sultry afternoons,
toward the close of the season, when
teachers and pupils alike are slightly
Tagged by the years strain, there
cemes a moment when something must
pc done to revive jaded interest and to
capture the mind by giving the body
some exercise.
AT this time, teachers say, the fire
drill is Invaluable. Apart from the
protection 1t affords the children from
confusion and terror in case of fire.
1t sends them out into the open air
with jump, and brings them back
more alert and intent upon their work.
The children like 1t. AS soon as
they reach the street and discover that
there is no fire they burst into shrieks
OF JOY. At the same time the orderly
ranks continue to swirl around the
circular fire escapes until there is not
a soul left in the building. AS soon
as the children reach the ground they
begin to gather into formation In front
OF the building. In few seconds they
are ready to return to their work.
AT the South school, which numbers
about 400 pupils, the entire drill has
been accomplished in less than a min
ute and half.
A particularly impressive feature of
the dre drill at the South school Is
that in it participate representatives of
over twelve natiunalities. Children
white, black and yellow, from all cor
ners of the earth, are here. And their
expressions when they get out into the
air are fascinating to watch. Those
who have been longest in America
treat the whole thing as huge frolic
and are thankful for the brief recess
from their books. Those upon whom
the traces of other lands, or of other
races, still linger, are shyly gay. Out
in the sun the children of italy and
of the Slavic lands laugh gaily at
their stunt" Irish and. German,
white and negro, Christian and Jew,
gaze about with eager and excited
eyes. Two little lads alone seem
unmoved by the adventure. Whatever
their feelings may be, Mon Gee and
zee Houy, both of $40 Second ave-
nue., are too we'll trained in the stolid
immobility of their ancestors to be-
tray them. They look out Of their
calm Chinese eyes with curiously
detached air And they smile, but
only little.

TatIOOed for Love.


A traleler from the South Seas
tells the following curious story:
"On one of the small islands
we met man who was an inter-
esting subject. He had come
there years before, when only a
young man. He was in the en-
ploy of some trading concern that
he still worked for, and on his
rounds among the islands he had
met and fallen love with a native
girl, but she,only Laughed at him,
saying that he was not nearly so
good looking as the natives be-
cause not tattooed. The girls
brother was just learning this
art, and as he thought the white
mans skin would be fine for
practice, hespersuaded the trader
to be tattooed.
THE mangquit the company,
and for six months lived in a ma
tive house in the mountains while
the boy practiced tattooing on
him every day, until the work
was done andithe skin healed up.
Then he made his way to the
girls home. At first the girl
was frightened; then she nearly
went into Mysteries, and ridi-
culed him; and finally, she in
suited him in the worst possible
manner-she spat upon him; and
ran away in the jungles. And
the tattood white man never saw
her again. Now he is one of the
wealthiest men in Polynesia,
pearl shells, copra, and sandal
wood have reaped him a fortune
that is no use to him, for he can
never return to civilized people
again.
