IN A DUNKARD OASIS. GREAT COLONY OF A STRANCE SECT IN INDIANA. Unproductive ttegion of 10,000 Acres In Brown County Made Fertile and Bloom ing by These Peculiar People—How the Settlement Was K fleeted—Allotments. That class of enthusiasts who believe that the fancy of Sir Thomas More may have its counterpart in real life anil that a Utopia may be made to exist 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 hills 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 and cast their lot with the 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 Beenery, but one, too, from which capital has kept coldly aloof on account of its many hills and the un productiveness of its soil. Bailroad 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 in 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 laud 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 Christiau worship, in cluding the washing of feet, and the minister is the head of the community and has ckargo both of its secular and spiritual affairs. The people meet at regular intervals and discuss questions that arise in the government of the community and then decide upon a given policy by a majority vote, which is final, and to which all submit with out a murmur. Farm machinery, fruit trees, vines, seeds and the nrticles 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 accomj)lish it unless sick ness or death interferes. Iu case of either, those more fortunate come to the aid of the unfortunate and the task iB thus accomplished. On each allot ment of laud there must he annually plauted 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 tho hour for retiring and the hour for getting up. Everything is said to work with clock like regularity, and the community represents iu an eminent degree the highest idea of perfect equality and is absolutely free from friction. They are said to he excellent neigh bors, but do not covet intercourse out side of their own sect, thought they are charitable to strangers and sometimes extend their hospitalities to those re siding near them. The idea of the purchasers of the 10,000-aore tract was eventually to purchase all the land in 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 and other civil officers. Under their peculiar belief they take no part in party politics and their idea was to gradnally 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 eloo 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 Diet. 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 fariuacea 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 iu like manner. A dilated stomach or flatulent dyspepsia may be treated by withdrawing sugar and 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. LaHtnetl tlie Bears. At New Milton, Fenn., 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 bears 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 the cowboys drew their lariats, and, swinging them swiftly through the air, each brought down his bear. One was caught around the neck and was soon strangled. The others, however, was held only by one hind paw and gave his captor a hard light. The cowboy was compelled to dismount, snub his rope around a treo and then get a half hitch around the brute's neck before he would cou cede his defeat. The other two bears escaped to the mountaius.—New York Press. Writing on GlaM. The easiest way to write, or paint on glass, says the Philadelphia Record, is to take u solution of fish glue and dis tribute it with a soft brush over tho surface of the glass. Of course the solution must be carefully filtered, and when it is applied to tlie glass paue the glass must be held over a stove or lamp in a slanting direction to allow the sur plus solution to flow off aud to dry thoroughly without streakiug. When the pane has been prepared in this way it is ready to write or paint upon. Even writing of microscopic minute ness can be applied to tho prepared glass surface without the dauger of the ink running. On this surface water colors, India ink and any kind of pig ment may be employed. A Queer Crusade. Charles Dyer, of Boston, who soma years ago on a visit to Little Allegasli Lake, Caribou, Me., was lost for three clays in the woods, and was found iu an exhausted condition by his fellow campers, has, lor 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 Cold Worth 873,000. A cone of gold weighing 4149.90 troy ounces was received at the Assay Office yesterday. The cone i 3 in the form in whieli it was taken from the crucible at the smelting works of the Caribou Hydraulic Mining Company iu British Columbia and its estimated value is $72,000. It was sent to the Assay Office through the New York agency of the Bank of Montreal, through which a similar cone valued at SBO,OOO was sent la3t year.—New York Sun. \ A Gopher Farm. E. T. Scott lias a gopher farm, or at least he has eight acres planted in that staple, or rather they plauted them selves there before the land was cleared, and they assume all privileges without molestation. They have about de voured everything therein except the fence, and they will Boon wear out crossing through it visiting adjacent colonies. —Worth (Ga.) Local. A Becord For Tramps. Probably no jail in the country holds such a record for tramps as the little 7xß lockup in Bowdoinham, Maine. During the past winter almost five hundred tramps were confined there, audiu 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 cious 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 be 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. Bubbing 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, hut 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 piece 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, east on 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 as follows: Narrow, thread over once, repeat from star all round; knit as many plain rounds after the row of 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 ting, and when knitting each stitch pick up with it one edge-stitch and; knit both off together; a pretty belli edged by a row of neat little points will be the result.—New England Homestead. Soup For Breakfast. In London two months ago Henrj White,tho 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 London 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 flocking to the Queen's jubilee, he can introduce enough ol them to this new fad to oause the whole outfit to come back hunt® singing its praises. It is really one of the most sensible gastronomic innovations one can imagine. Soup, wheu properly made, is both soothing and stimulating. The overtaxed stomach of the average American needs both to be soothed and stimulated the first thing in the morn ing. Therefore we look for the soup idea to become immediately jiopular 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. Choice Itßclpefl. Cucumber Salad—Pare and slice the cucumbers into a bowl of ice or very cold water, and let them stand half an hour. Drain them, sprinkle lightly with salt, cayenne pepper and 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 tougli and indigestible. Summer 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, and stir in the milk; flavor with lemon extract. Pour into a pudding pnu, and bake in a moderate oven half an hour. Whip the whites of the eggs until frothy, thicken with powdered sngar, and beat 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 ham. Wheu the liquor is 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 ful of butter, one-fourth saltspoonful of black pepper, half-pint of milk; add to the liquor, let it bod up twice, then pour in tureen, over sippets of toast. Creamed Onions Put a dozen onions iu a pan of cool water, and take off their skins. Put them in a sauce pan of boiling water with a teaspoon ful of salt, and boil them until tender. In the meantime melt in a small saucepan a tablespoonfnl of butter, add a tablespoonfnl of flour, and when it froths stir iu half a pint of milk, stirring until it boils; now drain the onions, pour this sauce over them and set them where thfey will Vmly sim mer gently until dinner is ready.

One Way of Siuuggliiig Diamonds. | "All this talk about smuggling re tails some of the things I learned when I was in the service, "announced 1 retired crook catcher the other day. "New ways of beating the Government are being devised right along, and many of the tricks I discovered are old now. There used to be more trouble with the diamond smugglers than there appears to be at present. I have found the sparklers iu women's back hair, hat ornaments, hollowed shoe heels, and sewed up in various articles of wear; in dog collars, iu horses' hoofs, in fruits and vegetables, in trunks with false bottoms, in pipes and cigars, in canes, on the necks of carrier pigeons, and even buried in men's flesh after the manner of the Kaftir diamond tlnnves. | "But the man who did the slickest business, without ever being sus i pectod, told me about it afterwards. I He was a retired detective, who had j served with great credit. Shortly be i fore resigning he claimed to have re ceived a beautiful diamond ring with three very large stones from a New Yorker for whom he had been able to save a good deal of money. It was certainly a magnificent ring, and the matter was duly exploited in the papers. He professed to be doing a private business that took him across the river frequently, and he would ; often use the ferry three or four times j a day. He always wore the dazzling | ring, and I looked at it every day for 1 months. Yet that fellow was making big money smuggling diamonds. "How? Why, he had a paste ring made exactly like the genuine one. He would wear the paste one over, leavb it to be set with diamonds, wear them back, have them replaced with paste, and thus carry on the game right be j fore our admiring eyes. We never 1 suspected the rascal."—Detroit Free Press. A Country Without Domestic Animal*. Japan is a land without the domes tic animals. It is this lack which strikes the stranger so forcibly in looking upon Japanese landscapes, j There are no cows—the Japanese j neither drink milk nor eat meat. There are but a few horses, and these are imported mainly for the use of the foreigners. The freight cars in the city streets are pulled and pushed by coolies, and the pleasure carriages are drawn by men. There are few dogs, and these are neither used as watch dogs, beasts of burden, nor in hunt ing, except by foreigners. There era 110 sheep in Japan, and wool is not used in clothing, silk and cotton being i the staples. There are 110 pigs—pork is an unknown article of diet, and lard is not used in cooking. Wild animals there are, however, and, in particular, ! bears of an enormous size.—Philadel phia Ledger. IMPURITIES IN FOOD. | Mxtcnt of Adulteration Beyond All Ordinary Conception. | The Fan Francisco btxird of health i lias now entered actively upon the In ! vestimation of food adulterations, and, [ though the investigations have not, as yet, been carried far, the results oh ; taincd are certainly startling. Of thirty-three samples of currant jelly ! offered for sale, for instance, the an j alyziug chemist has discovered only J nine that were pure. Samples of cat- I sup and other articles of commom use | have been found to be adulterated with substances injurious to health, ! and the Inference is that, when such a large percentage Is fouud among ar j tides thus taken at haphazard, an im mense field for the activity of the j board of health will be discovered as the investigation proceeds. The adult erations are found, not in the stores of the smaller and more obscure grocers j alone, but also in those of the most ! prominent and leading firms in the I city. j In these imitation jellies the most prominent substance used for purposes | of adulteration is glucose, which, be ing far less expensive than sugar, re j duces the cost of production mud in j creases the profit, while the selling ! price is cheapened. Glucose, though j popularly supposed to be harmless, is j one of the most Injurious articles of adulteration. It is formed by boiling | corn standi with sulphuric acid and j mixing the product with lime. It I would be difficult to imagine a more i pernicious compound, even when taken i iu infinitesimal doses. The importa [ tions of glucose increased tenfold dur j Lug tlm two years from 1875 to 1877, and the rate of increase has been i discontinued merely because the pro- I cess of production Is a simple one and ! extensive establishments for its man ufacture have beeu started in the Western States. 1 There is hardly an article of general j consumption that may not be adulter ated to a greater or less extent, and ] the profits of adulteration are sufficient jto attract the cupidity of large numbers of manufacturers who look I only to tlio profits they may make In their business. In the manufacture of linking powders, alum, costing three j cents a pound , may be substituted for I cream of tartar, costing thirty or more cents, and, without chemical analysis, i the substitution can uot be discovered save by the dyspepsia, colic, and I heartburn with which the victims are afflicted. Teas are artificially colored I witli poisonous substances, and cof fees are adulterated with chicory, which in turn is adulterated with Injurious materials. Time for the Heartiest Meal. ! A man of science, who gtv-js a so ciety woman pepsin tablets at $5 a call, says that call, pepsin, money and necessity for any of them would be saved If women—and men—would learn to eat properly. lie Is himself an epicure and eats rich viands, but he know how these are prepared and can prepare them himself on occasion, and lie selects the proper time to eat them. He considers It nothing loss than sui cidal for the brain worker, for In- J stance, to eat a hearty lunch. People who are much In the open air and who | exercise freely can eat about what they please, so that they satisfy their hunger at stated iierlods and are punc tual about It. But ho thinks it is all but criminal for a woman who lias to j use her brain and who must be oil the j alert Willi a vigorous mentality to divert the blood from her brain, where j tt Is most needed, to the stomach, by sotting it to work on a promiscuous lot | of food. lie is of the opinion that the | brain worker should eat most heartily after the day's work is done. Break fast may be moderately hearty, or | quite licarty, if taken an hour before I beginning work, bunch, however, | should be exceedingly light, just a little : to sustain nature till dinner time, a cup ! of beef tea and a cracker or two, fruit 1 of some kind, or a cup of cocoa.
