IN A DUNKAKD OASIS. CREAT COLONY OF A STRANGE SECT IN INDIANA. Unproductive Region of 10.000 Acres In Drown County Made Fertile and Bloom ing ly These Peculiar People—How the Settlement Was Kilected—Allotments. That class of enthusiasts who believe that the fancy of Sir Thomas More may have its counterpart in real life and that a Utopia may be made to fcxist in fact will find their belief confirmed by a visit to Brown County, Indiana. There a large colony of Dunkards set tled early last winter and there, under the impetus of their peculiar religious zeal, energies have been invoked that are rapidly transforming the bills into vineyards, and the bottom lands into marvels of productiveness. If the stories that come from this once benighted county are to be fully credited, the Dunkards have indeed metamorphosed that section in which they are located, for they are repre sented as being blessed with the pros pect of an overabundance of all kinds of cereals, and the fiuit trees and vines that they have planted are the wonder of the visitor on account of the rapidity of their growth. It is said in the sec tion that the colony which went to Da kota sometime ago has not found the climate congenial, and many of them are dissatisfied, and it is expected that these will return atld cast their lot with tho colony which has made Brown County its home. Early last summer the Dunkards of northern Indiana began to discuss the propriety of changing their residence, and committees were appointed to select a location, the leading men and women of the sect having come to the conclusion that they were too closely environed by the worldly class and wishing to secure a place where such environments would not exist. They consulted a real estate agent at Fort Wayne and following his sug gestion a committee went to Brown County, a locality that is noted for its beautiful scenery, but one, too, from which eaiiital lias kept coldly aloof on account of its many hills and the un productiveness of its soil. Railroad companies, possibly the most ventur some of all capitalists, gave the county a wide berth when surveying routes, and to-day the county is one of two in Indiana iu which the locomotive whis tle is not heard. It was here that the Dunkards found a place that would bid defiance to the blandishments of life, and here a pur chase of 10,000 acres of land was quickly made, the owners being quite as willing to get rid of it on any terms as the Dunkards were to buy at a trifle. This purchase was regarded at the time as but the nucleus of the holdings that were expected to follow, but oth ers of the sect in Northern Indiana turned their faces toward the West and located in Dakota. If these return, a thing that is now regarded as more than probable, the original idea will we carried out and purchases of other lands will follow till the entire county will belong to the peculiar society. As the purchase of 10,000 acres was re garded as but a starter, so the colony that is located upon it forms but the nucleus of that government which was originally designed and which will eventually be established. The community raises everything in common and all fare alike in every es sential particular. They practice the earlier form of Christian worship, in cluding the washing of feet, and the minister is the head of the community and has charge both of its seeulnr and spiritual affairs. The people meet at regular intervals and discuss questions that arise in .the government of tho community and then decide upon a given policy by a majority vote, which is filial, and to which all submit with out a murmur. Farm machinery, fruit trees, vines, seeds and the articles of everyday use are purchased in large quantities and the harvests are gar nered into one place, and from this the needs of all are supplied. During the summer each family is allotted a certain work to do, and is expected to accomplish it unless sick ness or death interferes. In caso of either, those more fortunate come to the aid of the unfortunate and the task is thus accomplished. On each allot ment of laud there must be annually planted a number of vines and fruit trees, and each family is also expected to clear off a certain number of acres during the winter season. The hours of work each day are limited, and an enormous bell announces tlie hour for retiring aud the hour for getting up. Everything is said to work with clock like regularity, and the community represents in au eminent degree the highest idea of perfect equality aud is absolutely free from friction. They are said to be excellent neigh bors, but do not covet intercourse out side of their own sect, thought they are charitable to straugers and sometimes extend their hospitalities to those re siding near them. The idea of the purchasers of the 10,000-aere tract was eventually to purchase all the land iu the county and establish a civil government on a basis of brotherly love, having everything in common and demonstrating that a county can be governed without the intervention of courts aud other civil officers. Under their peculiar belief tbey take no part in party polities aud their idea was to gradually possess the entire county and govern it according to the rules of their church. Whether the State authorities would permit an ag grandizement that would practically wipe out one of its civil divisions was a question that they did not consider, but lawyers have advised them that their plans were feasible and that they might conform to the | requirements of the State constitution regarding the establishment of courts and the elec tion of county officers and make both useless by having nothing for them to do, and that the requirement would be a mere form and entail no expense. A number of years must elapse, how ever, before this question can be tested, and it is more than possible that the Utopian dreams even of the Dunkards will never be realized, for if they develop the resources of the county by their untiring industry capital will seek investment among them and in a few year 3 they will find themselves with the same environ ments that they left northern Indiana to escape.—Chicago Times-Herald. Value of Change of Dint. A sudden and complete change of diet is a means of regulating the hu man machine whose importance seems to be too litttle considered. Dr. Angel Money, of London, states that it finds most application in chronic disease, often of nervous character, and not uncommonly in affections of the mu cous membrane. The substitution of broths, fish and flesh for milk and farinacea will often correct the condi tion of the mucous membrane that en ables thread-worms to develop. Chronic catarrh will often yield to similar treatment, and asthmatic at tacks may sometimes be made to cease for long periods. Convulsions in children are frequently alleviated in like manner. A dilated stomach or flatulent dyspepsia may be treated by withdrawing sugar aud starch from the food and replacing them by pure proteids with salts, extractives and water, the merits of sweetbreads, tripe, calf's head and feet, unsweet ened jellies and many vegetables be ing too little appreciated in such cases. The main secret of the success of such foods is the absence of liability to fer ment and generate gases. Experience proves that most of the benefit of a complete change of diet is obtained during a short period only, and, in deed, the therapeutic value may some times be in nothing but the change. Lassoed the Bears. At New Milton, Peuu., two merry cowboys and four black bears took part in a little impromptu Wild West performance which was free to all the farmers who were lucky enough to witness it. The cowboys belonged to a circus which was stalled there, and the four black hears belonged to the mountains. They met on the highway about four miles from the village. The cowboys were mounted, but were armed only with their lariats. The bears, apparently recognizing some fallen ancestor in the long, hairy "chaps" which incased the legs of the cowboys, turned and sprinted up the road, with the ranchmen iu hot pur suit. Simultaneously tho cowboys drew their lariats, and, swinging them swiftly through the air, each brought down his hear. One was caught around tile neck and was soon strangled. The others, however, was held only by one hind paw and gave his captor a hard fight. The cowboy was compelled to dismount, snub his rope around a tree aud then get a half hitch around the brute's neck before he would con cede his defeat. Tho other two bears escaped to the mountains.—New York Press. Writing on Glass. The easiest way to write or paint on glass, says the Philadelphia Record, is to take a solution of fish glue aud dis tribute it with a soft brush over the surface of the glass. Of course the solution must he carefully filtered, and when it is applied to the glass pane the glass must be held over a stove or lamp in a slanting direction to allow the sur plus solution to flow oil' and to dry thoroughly without streaking. When the pane has been prepared in this way it is ready to write or paint upon. Even writing of microscopic minute ness can he applied to the prepared glass surface without the danger of the ink running. On this snrface water colors, India ink and any kind of pig ment may be employed. A llueer Crusade. Charles Dyer, of Boston, who some years ago on a visit to Little Allegasli Lake, Caribou, Me., was lost for three days in the woods, and was found iu an exhausted condition by his fellow campers, has, for six months been marking the blazed trunks of young hardwood trees there with peculiar symbols, within a radius of some twenty miles, and intends to issue a map of the wilderness, so that un familiar persons may enjoy those woods in safety.—New York Sun. A Cone of Gold Worth BTIi.OOO. A cone of gold weighing 4149.90 troy ounces was received at the Assay Office yesterday. The cone is in the form iu which it was taken from the crucible at the smelting works of the Caribou Hydraulic Mining Company in British Columbia and its estimated value is $72,000. It was sent to tho Assay Office through the New Y'ork agency of the Bank of Montreal, through which a similar cone valued at 880,000 was sent last year.—New Y'ork Sun. K A Gopher Farm. E. J. Scott has a gopher farm, or at least he lias eight acres planted iu that staple, or rather they planted them selves there beforo the land was cleared, and they assume all privileges without molestation. They have about de voured everything therein except the fence, aud they will soon wear out crossing through it visiting adjacent colonies.—Worth (Ga.) Local. A Record For Trumps. Probably no jail in the country holds such a record for tramps as the little 7xß lockup in Bowdoiuliam, Maine. During the past winter almost five hundred tramps were confined there, and in one night there were thirty-one. One vagabond lifted the roof off bodily and jumped to the ground. HOUSEHOLD MATTERS A Delicious Flavoring. A little lemon peel makes a deli" eious flavoring for many things, such as puddings, fruit sauces, croquettes, and meat pies, and is one of the things it is best to have at hand. When using the juice only of lemons save , the peel by rinsing it in clear water and letting it dry; then grating it, and putting it in a glass jar with a close cover. Treated thus it is always ready. —Boston Budget. Care of Irons. | The proper care of irons is not so | well understood as it should be. Dampness and dust should he espe cially guarded' against, and, in fact, the whole ironing outfit should be kept in a special closet, and the irons covered when not in use. Rubbing with lard and beeswax will only part ly restore rusted irons. At long in tervals a thorough washing with warm water, and a careful drying afterwards will greatly improve irons. Never heat them on the same stove where cooking is going on, especially frying, as they will not only become spotted with grease, but will communicate the odor to the clothes. Always keep plenty of iron-holders on hand which may be made quite bright and ornamental if one chooses to put a few extra stitches on them.— Housewife. Knitted Hems. If you wish to neatly finish the top of a knitted stocking, the wrist of a glove or mitten, the ankle of a bootee or bed sock, or the neck of an infant's undervest, try a knitted hem; there is nothing prettier. It can be varied in width to suit any jflece of work. Neck hems are usually a quarter of an inch in width, gloves or mitten hems about half an inch, and stocking hems an inch or more. To knit a hem, cast 011 the required number of stitches loose ly and evenly; knit, all in plain knit ting, as many rounds as required to make a hem of the desired width; then | knit one round of little open holes us I follows: Narrow, thread over once, repeat from star all round; knit as many plain rounds after the row of j holes as there were before; fold the work at the row of holes so as to bring the first round up—inside the needles —to the last round, then go on knit -1 ting, and when knitting each stitch pick up with it one edge-stitch and ; knit both olf together; a pretty hen! edged by a row of neat little points will be the result.—New England Homestead. Soup For RreakfuKt. i In London two months ago ffenrj White,the swell Secretary of the Amer ican Legation,invited friends to break fast, and the first thing on the menu was soup. He told them that the Prince of Wales's set had recently adopted the idea from the French, ami that all Loudon was rapidly taking up the custom. Mr. White sets the pace for Americans over there, and whether or not he entertains all of his country men who are Hocking to the Queen's j jubilee, he can introduce enough ol them to this new fad to cause the whole outfit to come back lion® singing its praises. It is really one of the most sensible 1 gastronomic innovations one can imagine. Soup, wheu properly made, is both soothing and stimulating. The overtaxed stomach of the average American needs botUto be soothed and stimulated the first thing in the morn ing. Therefore we look for the soup idea to become immediately popular when it is brought over by our tour ists. Doubtless they will invent a name for it, as the fashionable folk of this country are afraid to risk their standing among the gourmets by eat ng for breakfast a dish with so plain and vulgar a name as soup.—St. Louis Star. Ciioico Itecipefi. Cucumber Salad—Pare and slice the : cucumbers into a bowl of iee or very | cold water, and let them stand half an i hour. Drain them, sprinkle lightly with snlt, cayenne pepper aud a gill of vinegar. Some persons are in the habit of slicing cucumbers into salted water, with the idea that they are more wholesome, but this is a great mistake, as it wilts them and renders them tough and indigestible. Hummer Pudding—Soak a teacup of bread crumbs in a quart of new milk for twenty minutes. Beat the yolks of four eggs with a cup of sugar, aud stir i in the milk; flavor with lemon extract. Pour into a pudding pan, and bake in n moderate oven half an hour. Whip the whites of the eggs until frothy, 1 thicken with powdered sugar, and beat j stiff. Put on a layer of the meringue, set in the oven one minute. Set away ; to cool over night, and serve for dinner with cold cream sauce, Green Pea Soup—Boil a pint of shelled peas and their pods in three pints of water into which -is put a ! knuckle of nice, sweet liani. When the reduced one half, drain it off into another saucepan, to which remove the ham also. Take all pods from the peas, mashing the latter to a mash. Add to them one tablespoou fill of butter, one-fourth saltspoonful of black pepper, lialf-pint of milk; add to the liquor, let it boil up twice, then pour in tureen, over sippets of toast. | Creamed Onions Put a dozen onions in a pan of cool water, and take oil' their skins. Put them in a sauce pan of boiling water with a teaspoon ful of salt, aud boil them until tender. In the meantime melt in a small saucepan a tablespoonful of butter, add a tablespoonful of flour, aud when | it froths stir in half a pint of milk, stirring until it boils; now drain tlie onions, pour this sauce over them aud set them where they will only aim ! iner gently until dinner is ready.

Wild animals there are, however, and, in particular, bears of an enormous size.—Philadel- I phia Ledger, IMPURITIES IN FOOD. j Extent of Adulterntion Beyond All Ordinary Conception. . | The San Francisco board of health has now entered actively upon tho in- I vesication of food adulterations, and, though the Investigations have not, as yet, been carried far, the results ob | taim-d are certainly startling. Of , j thirty-three samples of currant jelly i offered for sale, for instance, the an alyzing clicmist has discovered only nine that were purs. Samples of cat sup and other articles of eomuiom use have beeu found to be adulterated with substances injurious to health, I and the Inference is that, when such j a large percentage is found among ar | tides thus taken at haphazard, on tin -1 uiense field for the activity of the board of health will be discovered as j the investigation proceeds. The adult orations are found, not In the stores of I the smaller and more obscure grocers alone, but also In those of the most prominent anil leading linns in the I city. { In these Imitation jellies the most j prominent substance used for purposes of adulteration is glucose, which, be ing far less expensive than sugar, re j duces the cost of production and in creases the profit, while the selling j price Is cheapened. Glucose, though | popularly supposed to be harmless, is J one of the most Injurious articles of adulteration. It is formed by boiling corn starch with sulphuric acid and mixing the product with lime. II would be difficult to Imagine a more pernicious compound, even when taken In Infinitesimal (loses. The Importa tions of glucose increased tenfold dur | img the two years from 1575 to 1877, and the rate of Increase has been discontinued merely because the pro- ■ j cess of pi'oductiou is a simple cue and extensive establishments for Its man ufacture have been started in the Western States. There is hardly an article of general consumption that may not be adulter i ated to a greater or less extent, and ! the profits of adulteration are sufficient jto attract the cupidity of large j numbers of manufacturers who look only to the profits they may make in I j their business. In the manufacture of ! baking powders, alum, costing three | cents a poun<, may be substituted for | cream of tartar, costing thirty or more cents, and. without chemical analysis, j the substitution can not be discovered j save by the dyspepsia, colic, and j heartburn with which the victims are j afflicted.
