A Utopian society has established
itself in Ascona, a little place on the
borders of Italy and Switzerland.
lhi$ little society, which numbers 38
individuals, seeks to solve the prob
lem of how to live happily. The mem
bers are pledged to observe certain
simple rules of living, which they have
carried out now for three years. They
eat i.o meat, but live principally on
fruits and herbs, and' they wear one
simple garment only, and no hats.
There are 16 women in the sect. They
know no laws save those of nature,
ai>d they amuse themselves with Wag
nerian music. The founder of the col
ony is a Belgian. Each new member
is initiated on his finding sufficient
money to buy a plot of land, by the
cultivation of which he is expected to
support himself. ? X. Y. Sun.

How nn American In That Country
Tested the CaNh Value of
One of Them.
"If there's one thing more in
grained in the average man than an
other it is the feeling that he is enti
tled to some property that some one
else is keeping him out of," remarked
a man to a Philadelphia Ledger man.
"Even now 1 Hatter myself that I
know a little of life and the world,
and I have read the newspapers
enough to be alive to the fact that
many unprincipled men make 41 liveli
hood by discovering claims that never
existed; but I'm ready to admit that
1 felt more than elated the other day
when 1 received notice from one of
these agencies that I'd better call, as
I might be interested in a case they
had under investigation.
"The man questioned me as to my
family history as far back as T could
remember, and if~wasn't long before
I was as much interested in the mat
ter as he seemed to be. There was
no doubt he had studied up our
branch of the family pretty indus
triously, for lie told me many things
that got me interested in his scheme
at once, and 1 began to feel that if
there w,ere imposters in the business
at least he wasn't one.( According to
his way of figuring, there was $250.
000 tied up with red tape in one of
the English courts to which I-eame
in on the ground floor for one-fifth.
1 began to feel that perhaps my
mother was right, after all, when she
contended that the family had been
defrauded out of a large inheritance,
and I felt sorry that I had once told
her that if we were kept out of any
property it was by the rightful own
er. When the man saw I was inter
ested hte grew, eloquent and dilated
upon the ease with which the fortune
could be obtained. Of course it would
require money, but 1 would be a fool
not to expend a little when the re
turn would be so great. I allowed him
to exhaust himself in picturing my
good fortune and then I sprang a lit
tle scheme of my own.
"'If there's , anything in this,' I
said, 'you can bet 1 won't allow it to
slip through my fingers.'
"'Anything in it?', he echoed, slap
ping me 01* the back. 'Why. man. the
money is as good as if it was in your
pocket.'
" 'I'm glad to hear you say so,' T re-1
plied,' dropping into a very confiden
tial tone, 'because, to tell the truth.
I'm rather embarrassed just at pres
ent. Say, can't you let me have $20
for a day or so?'
"My words seemed to stagger the
man and he dropped back in his chair
as if lie had been shot. When he
showed no inclination to respond to
my request T left him. feeling satis
fied that it wasn't advisable to push
a claim for thousands on which I
couldn't borrow a $20 bill."

AdventnreN of a Gunboat.
A curious and interesting bit of
naval history ends with the sale of the
old United States gunboat Monocacy.
on the Asiatic station. The vessel, a
side-wheel "double-ender," was sent
to eastern waters in 1865 because of
her light draft. With her four big
smoothbores and two rifled muzzle
loadeus she did great service in the
war on Corean pirates in 1871. The
next year she stuck fast in the mud of
the Yangtse river, and remained there
28 years. Then in 1900, during the
Boxer outbreak, she was hauled out
and refitted, and although an object
of amusement to foreign naval officers,
again proved her worth; for her light
draft enabled her to do work impossi
ble to the foreign fleet. Monocacy is a
title which should not be forgotten.

Catarrh of the Stomach.
When the stomach is overloaded ;
when feod is taken into it that fails
to digest, it decavs and inflames the
mncons membrane, exposing the
nerves, and causes the glands to secret
mucin, instead of the natural juices
of digestion. This is! called Catarrh
of the Stomach. For years I suffered
with Catarrh of the Stomach, caused

BEWARE OF THE PHAGOCYTE.
Little-Known Hnt Marh-Dreaded
Creature That Frequent* the
Human Body.
"The hope of mankind," says
Meteclinikow, "depends upon the
proper restriction of the phagoctyte."
Very few nonprofessional men
know what a phagocyte is. and even
numerous physicians try to get along
without having made its acquaintance,
while most medical handbooks ignore
the thing, and the few dictionaries
mentioning it describe it wrongly.
Here is Prof. .Metschnikow's defini
tion; "Phagocytes constitute the po
lice of the human body. As a big
city cannot get along without officer.1
of the law to keep crime and vice un
der control and the moral atmos
phere pure and wholesome, so health
is impossible unless the phagocytes
exercise their proper functions in the
streets and channels of our Interior.
"I'hago means eat. devour, absorb;
cyte is the Greek for cell. The phago
cyte, then, is an absorbing or eating
cell; one might term it the scavenger
of the human body. So much science
recognized long ago; also that its
main food consists of bacteria, the
elements of organs peculiar to the
larvae stage and other noxious mat
ters."
The author continues, according to
the Indianapolis Journal: "The
abtove. my biological and bacteriolog
ical investigations and experiments
proved correct, but science's further
argument, namely, 'that the phago
cyte, after performing this most im
portant office for the youthful body,
becomes itself food for the develop
ing organs of the adult,' is a serious
mistake."
JAPAN A CURIOUS LAND.
Alnioat Everything Seema to Go by
Contraries In the Mlkado'a
Kingdom.
"There is no land that I have ever
seen so curious as Japan," said Kobert^
W. Brinkley, of Yokohama, to a Wash
ington Star reporter recently. "I have
lived in Japan for the past 22 years
and it is to ine still a sort of wonder
land.
"One of the strange features of the
country is that all crops and fruits are
almost certain to deteriorate. 1 have
seen beautiful peaches grown the first
year from stock imported from the
United States. The second year thej
were still fairly good ; the third season
poor and after that unfit to eat. Noth
ing in the vegetable world would seem
to retain its excellence for any length
of time. It is a bamboo country and
everything reverts to the bamboo.
Beautiful lush grass covered many a
plain and yet it gives no nutriment to
cattle. Garden vegetables look as fine
as any grown in the United State9, but
when cooked they have 110 taste. The
flowers are of gorgeous hues, but
they are without perfume.
"But even with these imperfections
it is a very interesting corner of the
earth and innny things recommend it.
Its inhabitants are in their way a fine
people. In the rural districts particu
larly the natives are the most honor
able beings I ever met. In the cities
they are sharper mentally, but not
nearly so scrupulous."

GROWTH OF A NEGRO COLONY.
Remarkable Profrrma of Calhonn
School and Settlement in
Lowndes Connty, Ala.
At a lantern talk given recently
in this city, phvs the New York Post,
Rev. Pitt Dillingham, principal of the
Calhoun school and settlement in
Lowntles county, Ala., read a paper
illustrating the remarkable growth
of a negro community which Calhoun
is building-. He said:
"There are 75 families in this
group, and five square miles of plan
tation country have been broken up
into 50-acre farms. The negroes have
paid $18,000 on the land during the
past six years. During the same *hne
Most important of" all, star
family life have gone up. Yet we are
told the negro will not work and
cannot save.
"Calhoun is a combination of farm
and home and school and church,
building a central neighborhood in
its own county, and stimulating the
growth of other neighborhoods where
these four things are being American
ized and taught to pull together,
(iood farms and homes within sound
of school and church bell make its
objective.
"Calhoun is giving industrial edu
cation to over 300 students, it reaches
about 500 more annually in the public
schools through its graduates and
students. In its country there are
12,000 negro children. of school age;
one in four goes to school. There
are 2,000 white children; one in two
goes to school. Calhoun is working
on Hampton and Tuskegee lines. Its
peculiarity is that it combines school
and settlement work, like the Speyer
school recently established by teach
ers' college of Columbia university.
Its county contains 31,000 negroes
and 4,500 whites by the last census,
and was selected for Calhoun's ex
periment by Booker Washington be
cause it was the blackest county in
Alabama. A southern white man
helped start the land movement by
selling his own plantation, and he
still superintends the buying of land."
