WHERE NO MONEY IS USED
People Of Ascension Island Wcuio
Seem to Live in State Of Ideal
Communism

The island of Ascension, in the At
lantic. belonging . Great BritLi'i'
is of volcaric lorna: NoG. eight miles
by six In size, and he's population
of about 40. II was uninhabited
until the confinement of Napoleon
at st. Helena. when II was occupied
by a small British force. Ii Is 2SO
miles northwest of ST. Helena. Vast
numbers of turtles are found on Its
shores, and IL serves as depot ana
"A watering place for ships.
Ascension Is governed by a. cap
tain appointed by the British adj
miralty. There Is no private prop
erty In land. no rents, no taxes, and
no use for money. The fiocks and
herds are public property. and the
meat Is issued as rations. So are
the vegetables grown on the farms.
When an island fisherman makes a
catch he brings II to the guardroom.
where II IL issued by the sergeant
major. Practically the entire pOpu-
lution are sailors, and they work at
most of the common trades. The
muleteer Is jack tar; so Is the
gardener; so are the shepherds, the
stockmen, the grooms, masons, car
penters and plumbers. Even the
island trapper who gets rewards for
the tails Of rats is sailor.
The climate Is almost perfect. and
anything can be grown.

Silly Idea Rehuked.

The late Count de LeSsepS never
seemed To lose sight of the ednca-
ton Of his children. even in the
smallest detail. One morning at
breakfast beautiful Dresden tea
cup was broken.
"Ah." cried the countess. "a disas-
ter! Two more of that set will now
be broken. 1t always happens So"
Are you so superstitiOuS." asked
the count. 'as really to believe that
two more will be brOken?"
81 know It,"
Then let us get il off our minds"
And taking two Of the cups by the
handles he dashed them together.
The anger and dismay of the count.
ess proved cOnclusiyely that she had
not seriously believed the superstition.
IL also loosed any hold the absurd idea
may have had on the minds of the
| children.

Fortunes for Fishermen.

The news that Fleetw God eng
Iand) fisher lad has drawn S155 as his
share of the value of a fOrtnights
catch need occasion no surprise. Ow-
ing TO the war, the North sea has had
n rest which nothing else could have
given ii, and il now swarms with
splendid fish. The result is seen In
phenomenal catches. A few weeks ago
an Aberdeen trawler's cargo sold for
$4,000. and there were scores of in
stances where over 5000 was realized
under similar circumstances. Such
catches mean that each member of the
crew receives $3.50 to $500. in addi.
ton To what they make by the sale
of the livers and rOes from the Quilted
fish.

the recument pachyderm's left
forearm as an incline, the circus
lady simply walks up, chambers
over the animals shoulder, and
steps into the howdah. That's one
way. Sometimes, if one is very
