A BROTHERHOOD COLONY
PECULIAR COMMONWEALTH SOCIETY
IN MUSCOCEE COUNTY? GA?
Experiment in ^'Christian Socialism" in
Full :>wing - Brotherly Love the Key
note of the Colony - Agriculture and
Printing Are the Chief Occupations.
One of the most peculiar settle
ments which have been established in
the United States has begun life at
Commonwealth, Muscogee county,
Ga. Commonwealth is as brand new
as the o In fact the colonists
founded '? wealth. Its origina
tors were men of strong religious con
victions, who intend toiive out in the
actual life the principles of Christ.
The scheme is Arcadian in its nature.
The !aw of the colony is the law of
love. Everybody works in the col
ony. The results are held in com
mon. AB a consequence tho colony
is beginning to attract attention as an
exponent of practical socialists
? The Commonwealth colony was
founded two years ago> relates the
Sun. In these two years the colon
ists, hardy and plucky pioneers from
the northwest, have transformed what
was once a barren piece of laud iuto
a fertile and prosperous farm. The
ground is being tilled by scientific
methods. Thousands of fruit trees have
been set out. Diversified industries
are springing .up. The colony has its
school, its meeting house, its work
shops and printing office, and is con
templating the establishment of a nor
mal school, of a large publishing
house and a cotton cloth factory.
The colonists are more than ordin
ary men. The colony has in its ranks
college professors, who, leaving the
school-room, are testing their pet
theories by actual experience* The
colonists have 931 acres of land. The
farm was purchased by a committee
which came south from Nebraska.
The principal vocations are farming,
fruit rasing, nursery work and the
building Up of a publishing business.
It is expected that cloth manufactur
ing will begin soon.
The movement to start such a col
ony grew out of agitation made in the
Wealth Makers of Lincoln, Neb., to
which Goorge Howard Gibson, now
editor of the Social Gospel, contribut
ed articles; in agitation in the King
dom by John Chipman, andaby the
Kev. Ralph Albertson, who quickly
joined in the proposed plan. Mr. Al
bertson, before entering the move
ment, was pastor of a Congregational
church in the city of Springfield, Ohio.
He is au eloquent preacher, au attrac
tive writer and a mau of very versa
I tile talents.
There are now eighty-nine persons
in the colony. Eighty are members,
the rest being visitors or applicants
for membership, whose applications
have not yet been acted upon. Pro
fessor Damon, the present president
of tho Christian Commonwealth, was
for nineteen years professor of Greek,
Latin aud history at the Methodist
college at Napa, Cal.
The colony has a magazine entitled
the Social Gospel. It is a neat and
attractive publication. Considering
the exceedingly cramped facilities,
the *ypograpical neatness of the jour
nal alone is remarkable. Published
right ont in the woods in a little one
story building, it is a magazine that
would do credit in general appearance
to a good-sized publishing- house. In
the publication are given the latest
news of the colony aud contribution?
from persons interested in the social
istic movement.
When the colomots went to Georgia
they were poor. They went into the
enterprise very much cramped finan
cially aud the struggle has been a hard
one from the beginning. With very
little money and no financial backing,
strangers in a new country, they have
fought hard for their existence. It
has been a matter not of luxuries, but
of meat and bread, of the actual neces
saries of life. The colonists have
been obliged to live with exceeding
frugality. Some of the members, but
only a very few, could not endure the
hardships. They left the colony.
Others, who were ouce weak in the
faith, have grown robust in the power
of sacrifice.
Shirking is the least of the troubles.
The colonists have been hospitably
received by the people of the com
munity, who arre interested in the ex
periment. With almost 110 unfriendly
manifestations, there has been friendli
ness and courtesy from country neigh
bors and townspeople. In the matter
of work the weak have the lightest
burdens, for the colony, like every
other community, has its physically
frail. For that matter everybody
works. Even the children have their
tasks. Industry is made honorable.
The children seem very happy. The
older children, without exception, are
warm believers in the brotherhood of
life.
Lack of capital compels the colon
ists to work to considerable disadvan
tage. Most of those who go to the
colony carry little or nothing. Open
doors are kept for the poor. The col
onists live for the most part on corn
I bread, cow peas, sweet potatoes and
vegetables of their own raising. There
is considerable intellectual work to do
at the colony, work that will receive an
impetus by the establishment of the
proposed normal institute.
Some of the families live about in
cottages, doing all their own work.
Some cook in a com mou kitchen and
eat together, either from choice or be
cau ie house room is scarce. Harm
less amusements are believed in and
encouraged. Culture is believed in
most heartily. The view is taken that
culture, like amusement, must be in
cidental and helpful to service.
The following covenant is entered
into by ti e applicant for a home at
the Christian Commonwealth :
"I accept as the law of my life
Christ's law that I 6hall love my
neighbor as myself. I will use, hold
or dispose bf all my r* pet ty, my la
bor and my income acc. rding to the
dictates of love for the happiness of
all who need. I will not withhold for
any solfish ends aught that I have
from the fullest service that love in
spires."
The Christian Commonwealth is in
corporated. .lt has its constitution
aud bylaws. It was originally incor
porated with thirty-three members.
Features of the constitution and by
laws are :
Members must be loving, unselfish
and in sympathy with the movemeut.
A majority of the colonists rules, and
all labor and property are consecrated
without reserve to the service and
obedience of Christ, to be used freely
and in such a manner as ohall satisfy
the society as to eligibility and fitness
for membership. Children have every
privilege except that of voting, a priv
ilege which they attain at 18 years of
age. The society reserves the right
to term?nate the membership of any
person by a majority vote, providing
that the person has had an open trial
b a special committee;any one with
drawing or being expelled from the
society shnll have no legal claim to
reimbursement. No part of the real

SCIENTIFIC- SCRAPS,
A London physician, Stanley jfTenfy
claims to have discovered tiro sp?cifi?
bacillus of smallpox; after fiy'? yeai?
of experimenting. - '
A tantalizing fact pointed out by an
English astronomer is that Herr Witt's
new planet between Mara and the
earth was, in January, 1894, in a more
favorable opposition for observation
than it will be again until 1924.
A German physician. Dr. Riegel,
lins made some important discoveries
relating to internal diseases, by mak
ing patients swallow a miniature pho
tographic apparatus, and taking pic
tures of the interior of the stomach.
Dr. Joseph Carne Ross, physician
to Ancoats hospital, Manchester, Eng
land, writes in praise of a-decoction of
cinnamon as a cure for influenza. The
treatment must be begun within
twenty-four hours of the beginning of
the attufik;
It is well known that the pressure
of the atmosphere on the surface of
the earth is about fifteen .pounds to
the square inch, equivalent, that is,-to
a pressure at the lower end of-a col
umn of mercury about thirty inches
high, or to tho pressure of a column
of water thirty-four feet high.
Careful weighing shows that ah or
diuary bee, notloaded, weighs the five
thousandth part of a pound, so that it
takes 5000 bees to make a ponnd. But
the loaded bee, when he comes iu
fresh from the fields and flowers,
freighted with honey or bee bread,
often weighs nearly three times more.
ART AND SCIENCE.
Tho Porter Knew More, Than tho Pro
fessor About Shears.
An article in Cornhill on the sim
plicity and ignorance of great men,
says that Professor Huxley delivered
a lecture at Newcastle-on-T.s ne, for
which numerous diagrams were re
quired. Old Aloxauder, the porter of
the institution, and a favorite among
the members of the society, was helping
the professor to hang the diagrams,
! but the screen was not large enough,
and the blank corner of one . would
overlap the illustration of another.
The professor declared that he
would cut off the margins, and asked
Alexander to bring him a pair of scis
sors; but alas! they would not work,
and the learned man threw them down
in disgust.
"Vera guid shears, professor," said
Alexander.
"I tell yon they won't cut," ex
claimed Huxley.
"Try again,"said Alexander. "They
will cut,."
The professor tried again and called,
angrily:
"Bring me another pair of scis
?ors. "
Sir William Armstrong stepped for
ward at this point and ordered Alex
ander to go out aud lu/ a new
pair.
"Vera guid shears, Sir William,"
persisted Alexander,and he took them
up, and asked Huxley how he wanted
the paper cut.
"Cut it there," said the professor,
somewhat tartly, indicating the place
with his forefinger.
Alexander took the paper, inserted
the scissors and cut off the required
portion with the utmost neatness.
Then he turned to the professor, with
a significant leer and twinkle o? the
eye.
' 'Sceanco an' airt dinna aj-gang tfce^
gether, professor," said he.
Huxley gave way to laughter, and
so did everybody present, and of
course the scientist paid the fine of
his stupidity in a sovereign.
Some one expressed amazement to
Alexander that he should dare ^lnake
freedom with Huxley.
"Why, mon," said Alexander, with
great emphasis, "they bits o' professor
bodies ken naething at a' except their
buiks."
Women in Arabia.
Manyan Arab lady never leaves her
house from the time she ? is married
until she is carried out to be buried.
A woman of the middle class is allowed
more liberty, and occasionally" goes
out for walks, accompanied, as a rule,
by a servant. The poor creature is
enveloped in masses of white drapery,
which ma es her look like ? walking
buudle, and in front of her face she
arranges a large black scarf, embroid
ered with blue, red and white flowers.
It falls low in front, and even by hold
ing up the ends she cannot see more
than a foot or two of the road before
her. I o?teu wonder that she does
not get run over when she goes out
alone, for I am sure she needs a dog
to guide her quite as much as any
blind man. Servants and other women
of the lower classes wear pieces of
black crepon wound tightly round their
faces, leaving just a slit for their ?yes
to peep through, and they are equally
muffled up in white draperies. . Seen
from a distance, they might be men
with masks or thick black beards, as
in Arab countries it is by no .means
easy to tell a man from a woman at
first eight. The older and uglier a
woman is the more prudish she seems
to be about covering np her face,
which, after all, is rather considerate
on her part,. Even the greatest num
ber of negresses wear the vashmak,
but the Bedouin women never do. In
deed, I am told that in the interior
there is one Arab tribe whose men
wear veils and whose women go about
with their faces uncovered. These
are probably the "ne-1- women" of
Arabia.-Pearson's Weekly.
Shams at the Kensington Mnsenm.
The' investigation being made into
the conduct of the Kensington museum
has showu amoug other things that
the-authorities are uot above manufac
turing false? antiques. One of the
staff is said to have concocted from
geuuine old panels a Vernish-Martin
cabinet, for which the museum paid
nearly S5000. A chair bought at the
Hamilton palace sale, and said to have
belongod to Caidiual Wolsey, has
been proved to be of the last century
and to have been made in Ceylon.
And there are imitation Delia Robbias
and modern antique agate cups which
have been bought for ten times their
value.
Perhaps the chair of St. Augustine,
repoi ted to have been discovered at
Stanford Bishop, near Broni yard, may
turn out to be something of this sort.
There is a tradition that the saint vis
ited the place during his ministrations
in Britain. He probably did not re
main standing all the time he was
there. An old chair put together
without nails was until recently in the
church, which, when thrown out as
rubbish, was picked up by the parish
clerk, who sold it to a physiciuu from ?
Birmingham, who has written it up in
a monograph, and, putting togethei
the historical fact of St. Augustiue's
sojourn in Britain, the local tradition
and the nctual old chair, claims that
it is the "Bishop's chair," ia which
he is said to have seated himself.

Ingersoll, thc Moralist.
Going the rounds of the country
press is an eloquent deliverance of Bob
Ingersoll anent whisky. Aside from
the intrinsic merit of the production
in question it indicates the power for
good that lies in the utterances of In
gersoll when the divinity of his own
soul is the inspiration. Pity it is that
a man of such marvelous grasp of in
tellect and unrivaled facility of expres
sion should devote these inherent gifts
to assailing Christian creeds and mock
ing the sweetest hopes that ever lured
weak humanity to nobler living, the
man in whose heart the kindliest sen
timents grow and in whose train the
prettiest fancies are spun, Bhould, ac
cording to every law of God and na
ture, be the apostle of light and hope;
and Ingersoll himself is the strongest
refutation of his doctrines of despair
and eternal darkness.-Atlanta Con

true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured

which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
j the name of the Company a guaranty
of the? excellence of its remedy. It is

LABRADOR'S QUEER POLK.
Thc White Mea Who Liv? there o? Their Own
CtMlce.
It seems strang? that with freedom
to come and go drilzed men should
choose to dwell In a region so terribly
bleak and sterile as Labrador. Yet of
the 8,700 inhabitants of that great
peninsular, 3,000 are of the white or
mixed race. They mainly are descen
dants of English sailors, some of whom
were shipwrecked and more of whom
probably left their ships without leave.
Finding themselves stranded on this
lonely shore, they made the best of
their lot, marrying Eskimo wives and
living after the manner of the country.
In later times some Newfoundlanders
chose rather to settle in Labrador
than make the uncomfortable trips to
and fro yearly from St. John's for the
annual codflshlng off the Labrador
shores. These brought their wives
and children with them and intro
duced a new strain of civilized life.
All of these people live ia little set
tlements strung along the coast, od
islands or lu fiords, from Battle Haf
bor south to the Gulf of St. Law
rence. They dwell in houses of stone
or logs. In winter they wear hooded
fur garments like the Eskimos; in
summer the ordinary garb of New
foundland fishermen. The women
dress in gray or blue woollen stuff,
with a gaudy gown for best. On their
heads they wear ?i knit hood or a
bright-colored handkerchief, and, it
may be, at out-of-door work or abroad
on the water, a man's sou'wester.
Against the walls in their houses are
pasted such pictures. as they have
been able to clip from the few news
papers that fall in their way, adver
tising lithographs that have come with
goods to the trading stores, and pic
tures of thes ort issued by tract so
cieties. On the table or shelf in the
living room is always a Bible, reli
giously read on Sunday when the cod
are not biting or a fare of fish to be
dressed and flaked. It is a devout
and sober-minded community, that of
the whites along the coast of Labra
dor. Their religious ministrations are
provided by the Moravians, who have
several missions in Labrador; their
temperance ls assured by stringent
laws forbidding the landing of any
liquors lu Labrador, and these are
made effective by a thorough patrol
by the Dominion, revenue steamships,
which deal inexorably with smugglers
of strong water.
A Chicago Election Judge.
Election day in Chicago is product
ive of many amusing incidents. At au
election booth in Milwaukee avenue,
the judge was a German, whose worth
as an American citizen is not marked
by an extensive knowledge of-the
country of his adoption. He is, how
ever, an active ward hustler, and as
such he always stands ace high with
his party during campaigns.
On election day a resident of the'pre
cinct called to cast his ballot. He was
not known to the judge, and the latter
asked:
"Vbere vas you born?"
"In Iowa," was the response.
"Veil, let me se your papers," de
manded the election official.
"Why, judge," broke in one of the
clerks, "this man doesn't have to show
naturalization papers; he was born in j
Iowa."
"Vhat!" exclaimed the judge, "is
