STUDY OF ANGEL DANCERS. Swami Abhayananda Visits the Lord’s - Farm. Swami Abhayananda, of Brooklyn, the Hindoo priestess, in her studies of various religions and creeds recently visited the “Lord’s Farm,” near Hack- ensack,.N. J ., conducted by the famous Mnason and his. “Angel Dancers.’ There she found much to interest her, and some of her experiences she re- counted to a reporter who interviewed her. “My visit was three days long,” said the Swami, “during which time Twas treated with hospitality and simple kindness. Mnason, who knew of my religion and teachings before I came, met us at the station and drove us over to the farm. My companion entered at once upon a discussion of religion with him, in which he more than held his own. for, though a man of little educa- tion, he is of a sharp wit. At the house the discussion was continued. I took no part in it, but my friend became quite acrimonious in her remarks, Fi- nally one of Mnason’s people pointed to her silk waist and little gold watch on it and said: ‘ “ ‘You have on you the mark of the beast, while we——pointing to their sim- ple garb—have the mark of the lamb.’ “Shortly after this my companion left the place. They were kindly in- clined toward me from the first because of the simplicity of my dress, as I wore the brownish garment that is my re- ligious garb. Then, too, I did not at- tempt to argue with them. Strange as their community is in some respects, it is their own, and certainly they have a right to live as they choose. Then, too, I believe that they are sincere. Once Mnason tried to entrap me into in- to a discussion, or so I thought when he said: ' f‘ ‘Abhayananda, I am the Son of 'God.’ “ ‘Brother Mnason,’ I returned, ‘I have never yet met a man who was not.’ “For some time he studied over that as though he suspected some deep and mystical meaning in it, although there was none, and then he nodded as if sat- isfied. It is evident that his spirit is ab- solutely dominant in the community. Over the others he seems to have a pow- er that is almost like hypnotism. There is something peculiar about his glance. People in the neighborhood of the com. munity told me that before he settled there he had been a snake charmer, and I easily believed it. ' “In there mode of living these peo- ple are very gsimple, even primitive. They are vegetarians, whereinI am at one with them, but in certain other re- spects I found their life somewhat try- ing. , For instance, at the table there was but one pitcher of water and no glasses. Every one was supposed to drink out of the pitcher. Also, but one platter of food, ahd from this all ladled out what they wanted into their plates. '1 should not care to live that way my- self, but it seemed to be perfectly natu- al to them. One matter wherein they roused my admiration was in the tender care they all gave to the children in the community. “As to their religion, it is not for me, who believe all religions good, to criti- cise it. I visited them merely to study their methods, just as I shall visit,when I find time. the Oneida Community, the Shakers and others.” A Friend in Need.

The loss of pure air, sunshine and other “free” goods, and its effect upon the physique of city dwellers, is not adequately compensated by hygienic reforms of town life itself, while the in- creased number and complexity of sen- sations impose a greater strain upon the nervous system. The nervous degeneration which thus accrues may perhaps be checked in time by further hygienic improvement of the town, and by a gradual readjustment between the nervous system and its changed environment. But meantime grave physical injuries arise from those very economic changes which have raised the economic condition of the great mass of the workers, and have probably reduced the quantity of purely economic poverty. . When we reflect that the physical 1n. juries of town life, attested by rates of mortality and impaired muscular ac- tivity, fall most heavily upon the poor, We shall see grave reason to doubt whether the modern conditions of in- dustrial and social life are generally favorable to the physical vitality of the low paid worker, Or the ‘.‘residuum,” that is to say, whether he gets any net vital advantage out of the higher rate of real wages which he obtains when he , is working. . When we also bear in mind that each year a higher proportion of the workers are living in large' towns, where the duration of life is about fifteen per cent. less than in the country, and that the age of enforced retirement from regu- lar wage earning is, by reason of the strain of competition and the regula- tions of trade organizations, considera- bly earlier than it was formerly, and that an increased irregularity of em- ployment is discernible in many or most trades, we may hold it doubtful whether the average worker of the lower order makes a total life wage which is any higher than he made for- merly. The conclusion applied by Mr. Charles Booth to the whole body of workers that “in one way or another effective working life is ten years longer in the country than in the town” has an im- portant significance when we remem- ber that each decennial census shows a growing preportion of workers subject to the conditions of town life—Con- temporary Review. Acknowledged nie Ignorance. Governor Mattox, of Vermont, was at one time chairman of the committee appointed to examine candidates for admission to the bar of Caledonia coun- ty. He reported that one of the candi- dates was, in his opinion, unqualified, having answered correctly but one .of the questions put to him. “Only one? Well, what was that?" asked the presiding judge. “I asked him what a freehold estate is,” replied Mattox. ”A very important question,” said the judge. “And what reply did he make?” . “He replied without the least hesitac tion,” said the chairman with a twinkle in his eye; “of course that fact was in his favor.” “Well, what did he say?” asked the judge, with some impatience. “He said,” returned the chairman, "that he didn’t know.”-—Chicago News.

INGERS’OL Dams A DOUBLE PICTURE OF THE CORONATION. no Turns From the Diamond-Bespangled Crown of the Czar to the Half-Fed Mil- lions and the Weeping Mothers, and the Butcherles of Siberian Prisons. While reading the accounts of the coronation of the Czar, of the pageants, processions and feasts, of the pomp and parade, of the barbaric splendor, of cloth of gold and glittering gems, I could not help thinking of the poor and melancholy peasants, of the toiling, half-fed millions, of the sad and ignor- ant multitudes who belong body and soul to this Czar. I thought of the backs that have been scarred by the knout, of the thousands in prisons for having dared to say a whispered word for freedom, of the great multitude who have been'driven like cattle along the weary roads that lead to the hell of Siberia. _ The cannon at Moscow were not loud enough, nor the clang of the bells, nor the blare of the trumpets, to drown the groans of the captives. I thought of the fathers that had been torn from wives and children for the crime of speaking like men. And when the priests spoke of the Czar as the “God-selected man,” the “God-adorned man,” my blood grew warm. ‘ ' When I read of the coronation of the , Czarina I thought of Siberia. I thought of girls working in the mines, hauling ore from the pits with chains about their waists; young girls, almost naked, at the mercy cf brutal officials; young girls weeping and moaning their lives away because between their pure lips som. ‘ Yet law neglects. forgets them, and crowns the Czarina. The inj ustice. the agony and horror in this pure world are enough to make mankind insane. Ignorance and superstition crown im- pudence and tyranny. Millions of mon- ey squandered for the humiliation of man, to dishonor the people. Back of the coronation, back of all the ceremonies, back of all the hypocrisy, there is nothing but a lie. . It is not true that God “selected” this Czar to rule and rob a hundred millions of human beings. ' It is all an ignorant, barbaric, super- stitious lie—a lie that pomp and pa- geant, and fiaunting flags, and robed priests, and swinging censers, cannot change to truth. Those who are not blinded by the glare and glitter at Moscow see mil- lions of homes on which the shadows fall; see millions of weeping mothers, whose children have been stolen by the Czar; see thousands of villages without schools, millions of houses without books, millions and millions of men, women and children in whose future there is no star, and whose only friend is death. ‘ The coronation is an insult to the nineteenth century. Long live the people of Russia! WHAT TO DO NEXT. How a Young Man Got Even with His Too Careful Brother. We are all more or less familiar with that exasperating class of individuals who seem to feel that the simple com~ mon senseof the .world is centred in themselves, and that the rest of us are in need of guidance and direction in the simplest duties of life. Mr. B ——-— was a young man of this class. He was always painfully profuse in details regarding anything he wished done. He was a parrot, of which he was excessively fond, and when he was about to go abroad for a few months, leaving his bird behind him, he bored and exasperated his family and friends with senseless details regarding the care of the parrot, and his last words, screeched from the deck of the steamer that bore him away, were: “Hi, Jim!” pier. “Look out for my parrot," faintly over the water: As if this was not enough, he had no sooner reached Liverpool than he sent the following cablegram to his brother, who had assumed charge of the parrot: “Be sure and feed my parrot.” On receipt of this the brother cabled back, at his brother’s expense: “I have fed her, but she is hungry again.

Richard Wagner, of Vienna, a manu- facturer of linens and draperies, decided to use the picture of his musical name sake as a trade mark. The widow of. the great Richard Wagner objected, and brought suit in the Austrian courts to prevent this obvious deceit. Much to the surprise of everybody, or those not understanding the peculiar work- ings of Austrian law, the suit was de- cided against her. This seems 3. mon- strous judgment. A widow has surely ' the right of property in her late hus- band’s features and ought at least be entitled to preserve them from profane vulgarization of the above kind. .
