Fright.
When a woman gets frightened at

her head, says she is terrified out of

lies trembling awake for two or three
hours, straining his ears at every

THE CITY
OF SHALAM,
Strangest Community in
the United States,
niH.iiiniiiiniiwwwiimw^iouiiiXi'iiivwwwwwwwwwwwifWu'u'it'tiWvnifWiiiwtifWWiiniiwik
The strangest city and most peculiar
community in the United States, if not
in the world, is Shalam, about fiifty
miles north of El Paso. Its popula
tion is now 3,000, but it is steadily
growing, and the indications are that
within the next ten years it will have
reached 10,000. It is doubtful if any
strange and. unique settlement can
equal Shalam in the practice of extra
ordinary principles. It is an odd com
bination of ancient religious supersti
tion and the moat advanced and radi
cal socialism. Nevertheless, In spite of
the fact that the living conditions àre
entirely opposed to the generally ac
cepted modern ideas, the inhabitants
are happy, contented and prosperous,
and believe they are the saving rem
nant which will bring forth a purified
race to regenerate mankind and effect
the salvation of the earth.
Appropriately enough, Shalam is of
supernatural origin. Its founder was
Dr. Newbrough, a New York dentist
and spiritualist who died in 1890. It
was he who wrote the new Bible,whieh
is the daily guide and religious mentor
of this queer community. s His name is
held in deepest reverence and the be
lievers regard him as the sacred apos
tle of the divine and accord his mem
ory much the same veneration which
Mormons bestow on Brigham Young
and Smith. The Bible which Dr. New
brough wrote is a .mammoth work and
is called "Oahspe," a word meaning
earth, air and sky in a language spok
en before the flood. It is said to have
bean written on the typewriter by Dr.
Newbrough, his hands being guided
by supernatural beings, and was
printed without being read by the doc
tor.
It is certainly a work without a coun
terpart, filled with extraordinary
phrases, and with more peculiar illus
tration. 'but it is the sacred book : of
a unique community which was found
ed to establish the religion It teaches,
and out of the spiritual and economic
doctrines set forth therein, to found a
new race. The story of the writing of
this Bible is very remarkable and is
related with bated, reverent breath by
the faithful members of the sect.
CHINESE PLAN
Of REFORM.
Suggestions Made to
the Emperor by a
Progressive Adviser.
One of the few Chinese statesmen
who believes in the introduction of
modern ways and methods into the Ce
lestial empire is Kang-Yu-Wel, who
was one of the chief advisers of the
Emperor before the present insurrec
tion. Now Kang is in Singapore,
guarded day and night by Indian
watchmen, for his capture or life is
sought by emissaries of the Dowager
Empress. When the Emperor was
in power he asked Kang to submit to
him a plan of governmental reforms.
Kang has given a summary of the
suggestions which he submitted to his
imperial master. They might be of
interest as showing what a leading
Chinese reformer considers important
for 'the welfare of the empire. Kang
says: "I told the Emperor that all the
old customs and ways and manners of
his ancestors must be removed. Noth
ing could be usefully followed so far
as Chinese history was concerned. I
advised the Emperor to follow in the
footsteps of Japan or of Peter the
Greift in Russia.
"As a preliminary step I advised the
Emperor to command all his minis
ters of state and all the high officials
in Pekiu to go before the places
where they worshiped the gods, and al
so to the ancestral halls, there to reg
ister an oath that they were deter
mined to introduce reforms.
"My second suggestion was to have
the laws and administration revised;
my third, that he should open a com
munication or dispatch department,
through which anyone would be able
to memorialize the throne. I told him
he had no means of finding out the de
sires of the people; that the responsi
bility of administration was too wide
ly diffused; that he should select
young, intelligent men, well imbued
with western ideas, to assist in the
regeneration of the empire, irrespect
ive of their social position, whether
they were lowly born or of high de
gree.
"I advised the creation of 12 new
departments modeled on western
lines, and foreigners to be engaged to
advise and assist.
"I pointed out the enormous loss of
revenue that occurred yearly. Taking
the magistracy of Namhoi <whlcb is
my native district), I informed the
Emperor that the total revenue de
According to tho traditions of the
community Dr. Newbrough found him
self unaccountably affected whenever
he took a pen in hand, and often he
wrote strange religious messages. He
conceived the idea that he had been
selected for some strange spiritual mis
sion and immediately began to purify
his life in order to be better fitted to
receive the celestial message. He gave
up eating flesh and fish, milk and but
ter, arose before daybreak, bathed
twice a day and occupied a small room
alone, where he sat every morning half
an hour before sunrise recounting daily
to his Creator his shortcomings, in gov
erning himself in thought and deed.
In six years' training he had reduced
his weight from'250 to 180 pounds, and
was entirely free from all bodily ills.
Then came the spiritual revelations.
One morning he was strangely impell
ed to go to the typewriter. He was un
skilled in the use of the instrument,
but his fingers voluntarily manipulated
the keys at à wonderful speed. He re
ceived a strange instruction not to
read what he wrote. For fifty weeks
he continued to write every morning
for half an hour before sunrise. Then
the inspiration ceased and he was told
to publish the book Oahspe. The pe
culiar drawings In the book were made
by the doctor during his inspired mo
ments.
Those who constitute the community
of Shalam call themselves "Kosmons,"
which is said to signify in the lan
guage of their sacred scriptures, non
owners of any and everything. The
adults composing this community are
spiritualists and vegetarians, but the
children reared under this strange sys
tem are the chief hope of the believ
ers. It is they, and not the grown
men and women, who live in Shalam,
who are to demonstrate to the world
the possibility of a new economic and
social fraternity. Through them earth
is to be regenerated and man led out
of the darkness of the competitive sys
tem into one where private property, if
not wholly abolished, is made subject
to a sort of communism with which
writers of the order of Bellamy havg
made us familiar.
rived from it was $240,000 per year,
but the actual amount going into the
imperial purse was only something
over $20,000.
"I recommended a complete change
of the system under which the whole
of the revenues of the country would
go into the imperial purse, comparing
China with India, and adducing from
the experience of India the financial
resources of China.
"I told the Emperor that from or
dinary taxes the sum of 400,000,000
taels could be raised annually, and if
the Pekin (native customs) were
abolished and a tariff properly adjust
ed, bank notes issued, stamp duty
established and other financial re
forms adopted, at least another 300,
000,000 taels could be raised. With
this money in hand it would be an
easy thing to get an army and a navy
to protect our coast and to establish
colleges for the training of officers.
State railways could also be construct
ed."

A New Form of Worship.
It is well known that Paderewski is
worshiped by the fair sex, and the
lengths to which this adoration is car
ried verge frequently on the ridicu
lous. On one occasion recently a lady
visiting Paderewski's villa noticed a
cherry stone on the mantelpiece. She
immediately took possession of it and
had it set in pearls and diamonds.
Some time later the musician chanced
to meet the lady, who in the conversa
tion showed him the cherry stone with
its lovely setting. "But, madam," said
Paderewski, stroking his locks, "I
never eat cherries. The one you found
on the mantelpiece must have been
left by my servant!"—Cardiff Western
Mail.
A Curious King:.
The most charming little ring in the
world is the property of Mr. Temple, of
London. This gentleman is a nephew
of Sir Richard Temple, and the ring
in question is a highly prized old fam
ily heirloom. Inside of this tiny cir
cle of gold are the works of a perfect
little musical box. You touch a spring
and hold the ring quite close to your
ear. Then you hear the sweetest,
weirdest, tiniest little tune; which
seems like a voice from spirit land.
