crcl.e.
They arc making- a communistic edu
cational experiment near the little town
of St. Anne. 111., some 00 mile south of
Ckicagtj, that has already attracted a
'good deal of attention ami is sure to be
talked of the orld ocr if anything
like success is accomplished. 1 h.s ea.
Itcriment is known a the People's nn:
versity. St. Anne is tar removed from
the railroad In a region that is strictly
rural and the university ow ns an entire
seetion of laud, 640 acres.
Upon this tract stands not only the
university buildings, but also the hemes,
for the time being-, of all the students
and teachers. The land is cultivated
cooperatively by all. the proceeds a: -.-tH&
the benefit of all. tJie propert v
of the community is kept in a common
storehouse.
The community started with a cap
tal of invented in tools, niHcainerv
nsd live stock. The school has nske..
for ao gift, dots? not expect to ecv.r
any endowments, and will appeal
neither to the charitv nor the Ueae--
oeace cf the public in anv wav. Tl-
suidccts and teachers who are on tb" 1
ground r.re worklujr with their owr.
Rnnds at the construction of the build
bres, and -arc carrying on the ajrricu;
tttrnl r.ork of the school, all of vhich
is done without compensation.
Tfieir labor is einployeil directly ir.
producirir the food, clothinrr, fuel'and
shelter necessary for xhelr own com
fortalb cxiweace. When thi lalvcr
1ms pvrvlded these necessities, the Iwi- I
aacc of tircir time is devoted to ctudy. !
The cdneational workers are build- !
ing up their own city, including houses,
school and farm. The dwellings are
cottasres, 12x5 feet on the pround and a
story and a half hieh. with first-class
cedar roofs.
33iey have built Jive miles of fences;
planted fruit trees and 300 grape vines:
'have sc.; oat an immense earden of
about JO acres, have fields containing
20,000 sweet potato plants. 21 acres of
Irish potatoes, SO acres of oats. 230
acres of corn. 40 acres of sorghum. 20
acres of millet and 20 acres of buck- j
rneat, ah of which are in very fine con
dition. It is the unanimous verdict of the
large number of visitors, that no liner
ron nor better farming- is to be found
f.njnvhere than there.
The cottages axe built in a s-nrr. nf
semi-circle, following a slic-ht rise of
tyreuad which is everywhere over
grown with biuegrass. It vi-ouid be
difficult to find, or to produce, ever,
"ivith a considerable expenditure of
.money, a more beautiful location for
tiie iiome than this little grove has f ur
uhmcd, ready made,
v The fcrni in which the buildlnjrs are
constructed is that of a small village,
but there is no subdivision of land and
:io sale of lots. The school will bold, in
its own name and for its own use, all
land, houses, shops and implements of
which I
every kind. There is no wav m
any person can secure a speculative or
even legitimate business Interest in '
any of the work of this school. Ther i
is no plan, for admitting, for residence j
jzl tnis vjiiae, anyone wno does not
come solely for an educational purpose.
The school simply provides an op-
port unity for siady for those who ace
willing, by their own toil, to take ad
vantage of such opportunity: and the
only return offered for labor is mental
training. The man who does not want
to study has no r ens or. for poing there,
end will not be admitted, or if admit
ted by mistake, will not be permitted to
return. All wuo are not willing to la
bor with their own hand at tar-'..:-accceaary
to comfortable existence art
also excluded.
In fact, this unique community com
bines the elements of socialism ?:v
communism, and. it is to be hoped

A CYCLING
MINISTER'S EXPERIENCE,
THE RESULTS OF LONG, HARD RIDING.
FULLY 3,000 MILES ON HIS WHEEL
He Makes Some Reflections on the Benefits of the
Sport and Tells of its Dangers.
from the
The Eev. Wm. P. F. Fennison, wlies pic
ture we give above, will not be unfuniiliar
by sight "to many readers. A younc man, be
has Kill had aa extended exiterieiiee as
foreign missionary, teaeher. editor, lecturer
and pastor that has given him a wide ac
quaintance in rnauy parts of ihc country.
In an interview a few days azo he xid :
" In the early summer of 'nf I went upon
a tour through Canada on my wheel. .My
route was from Utica to Caie invent thenee
by stcamsrto Kingston, aud from there alone j
trie north shore of the lake to Toronto and
around to Niagara Falls. 1 arrived at Cape
Vincent at b o'clock, having ridden against )
a strong head wind all day. "
"After s delightful sail through the!
Thousand Islands. I stenneil on shore ir.
that quaint old city of Kingston. A slight
shower had fallen and the streets were damp,
so that wisdom would have dictated that I,
leg-weary as I was, should have kept in
drwrs, but so anxious was I to see the old
city that I sthjiu the whole evening in the
streets.
" Five o'clock the nest morning brought
a very unwelcome discovery. I was laine
in both ankles and knees. The head wind
and the damp streets had proved an unfor-
tunate combination. I cave, however, little
thought to it, suppling it would wear off in
a few hours, and the tirst tlu.ih of sunlight
taw me speeding out the splendid road that
leads toward Napanee.
"Night overtook meata little villdgenear
Port Hope, but found me still lame. I rested
the next day, and tlie next, but it was too
late; the mischief was done. I rode a good
many miles during the rest of theseason, hut
never a day and seldom a mile without pain.
"The winter came und I put away ray
wheel, saying now I shall get well,' but to
my disappointment I grew worse. Some
days my knees almost forbade walking and
ray ankk-s would not permit me to wear
shoes. At times I suffered severe pain, so
severe as to make study a practical impos
sibility, yet it must be understood that
I concealed the condition of aualre as far
as possible.
From being local the trouble began to
sprtad slightly and my anxiety increased.
t consulted two physicians and followed
their excellent advice, hut without result.
Ko the winter pad. One day in March I
happened to take in ray hand a newspaper

Pills. I did not at that time know wiiai
they were supposed to cure. I should
have paid no attention to the article had i
not caucht the name of a lady whom 1
knew. Reading, I found that she, in t-hiiihir
circumstances, iiad leen greatly benefited
by the use of Pink Pills, and knowing licr
as I did I had no dnuht of the truth bf the
statement that she had authorized.
The first box was not gone ltefore I saw
a change, and the third had not been
finished before all signs of my rheumatic
troubles were cone to stay.

t srength and endurance, and have conu

ample, one afternoon I rode seventy miles,
preached that nisht nnd mr.de fifty miles ol
the hardest kind of road before noon the
next day. Another instance was a Cen
tury run,' the last forty miles of which were
made in a downpour of rain through mnd
and slush.
