FRIDAY, FEBRUARY
official nrjjn.n called La lievne Icarien,
and iiur.icrun.i otlitr industries were
enffaged in besides farming.
The objects and tenets of the com
munity uro well set forth in a few para
graphs from the constitution, as wit
ness the following: "It is established in
the interest of entire humanity, in de
votion to its well being, in ordcf to
present to it a system of society capa
ble of rendering it happy, and to prove
by experience that communism based
upon complete solidarity is realizable
and possible."
A common fund supplied the wants
of all and a common treasury received
the earnings and savings of all. A gen
eral assembly of all Icarians over
twenty-one years of age, irrespective of
sex, constituted the legislative author
ity, while executive power was vested
in threo trustees. Withdrawals were
permitted by the person desiring to
sever his connection with the society
giving one month's notice of same,
whereupon the general Assembly took
into consideration his circumstances
and the value of his services to vho com
munity while a member, and paid him
a reasonable compensation for same, in
addition to two-thirds of the amount of
his original investment. Members were
free to follow their inclinations in re
gard to religious dogmas and exercised
the greatest liberties in all matters
which did not interfere with any of the
socialistic tenets.
About ten thousand dollars in realty
and one thousand acres of land will be
divided among the members.
ORIGIN OF POINT LACE.
The
Process Was Invented by Barbara
Uttmnn, a 8nxon Womnn.
A little known example of inventive
genius in woman is that afforclod by
Burba r a Uttman, of Saxony, and her
point lace so long in fashionable ustj all
over the world. She invented the proc
ess and apparatus for manufacturing
this beautiful handiwork, which has
since given employment to millions of
operators, and which, in its line, had
never been excelled. The apparatus
looks lute a long pincushion bnstlii;ir
with pins arranged to outline the pat
tern or design. The operator manages
from ten to nf ty peculiar spools, allow'
ing the thread to feed over the pins al
ternately, until the design is completed.
The spools, or bobbins, are purposely
of different colors, so as to be easily
distinguishable. The process is slow
and difficult to learn. Miss Uttman
founded schools where thousands
learned it. Since her time, when in
ventivo ability was rare, even among
men, her ideas have been incorporated
in the construction of machinery by
which the lace is produced at wonder
fully lower rates, and yet Barbara Utt
man a lace still aurpasaea all.
HUN UNO THE JACKRADBIT.
Story of m Famous Day's Sport la a Col'
oratdo Town.
When the special train bringing the
visiting hunters reached Lamar there
was a brass band at the station, and
the brass band was there when thrv
left. The merchants closed their
stores and the people threw open their
houses for the entertainment of their
guests. After the hunt begaa the ir
regular discharge of the rifles in the
sand hills around Lamar reminded one
of picket firing. When a large party of
gunners found a atreUh of prairie
where the rabbita were thick the re
port of the guns sounded like a general
engagement. Though the rabbit hunt
is a fixed annual event in Lamar, and
rabbits are killed by thousands, there
seems to be no decrease in the cumber.
They multiply so rapidly during the
summer months that It becomes neces
sary to make some such organised at
tack on them, for they are becoming as
great a nuisance as they are in Aus
tralia. The rabbits breed on the grassy
plains above the ranala, where they
atay until their forage falls thrm. Then
they gather in the alfalfa fields, which
accounts for their being so numerous at
this season of the year, says Harper's
Weekly.
At the beginning of the hunt the
wagons began coming In at fouro'clork,
and continued until nine at night, with
heaping loads of the slain furry ene
mies of the fanner. The cleaners be
gan their work with the first wsgon
load, and worked bravely, but the odds
were againat them, and they were S'ton
half buried In the mean of rsbblta await
ing preparation for shipment. At the
first day'a hunt fully two thousand
were killed. No wagon brought In
fewer than one hundred rabblu, and
one went a high aa four hundred and
fifty, about three thousand pound. A
great number of rabbits were slain
which were not brought in. All rec
ords were broken at this hunt, and Hot
m single accident occurred to mar the
pl enure of the pertlclpanta.

ABSOLUTELY PUHE
FOUL AIR AS A GERM GARDEN.
Good Sanitation a Prime Neeessltr as a
Defeuse Against Disease Germs,
The development of the germs so fa
tal to humanity when taken into the
system is an effort of nature to destroy
and really eat up effete matter. The
grub and maggot, disgusting as they
are, are true scavengers, and if suffi
cient time be allowed them thev will
reduce to innocuous dust the most pois
onous of animal and vegetable matter.
We regard the creatures with abhor
rence because of their occupation; but
they are laboring, albeit unconscious
ly, in the interest of higher forms of
life. When disease-pcneratinir matter
has passed through tho digestive canal
of the pupa it is no longer infectious.
In the undramed and filthy portions of
a city the foul matter is constantly ac
cumulating far beyond the corrective
powers of unaided nature. Deadly
gases are cast off from festering heaps,
vapors charged with microscopic germs
which hatch fearful ailments in that
weak mechanism, man's body. But
even where the system is not directly
affected by germ diseases, the Influence
of the foul gases why, we do not fully
understand as yet tends to lower vi
tality to such a degree that the subject
Is always in good condition to take a
fever of the typhoid class, scaraltina,
diphtheria, etc, Prof. Alessi's experi
ments, says an exchange, show that a
person who has lived in foul air for a
considerable timo will get any one of
the fatal germ diseases much more
readily than one who has breathed
pure air and only absorbs the irerms by
accident, rrof. Alcssl has proved that
the same is true with animals. lie
placed a number of dogs, pigs, etc., in
such a situation that they were com
pelled to live, for some weeks, in an at
mosphere saturated with the noxious
vapors from garbage heaps. These he
inoculated with the typhoid bacillus.
at the same time inoculating a similar
number of animals which had been
brought direct from the pure air of the
rural district.' The first lot died, some
of them in thirty-six hours, with un
mistakable typhoid symptoms, while
not one of the second lot was affected.
It was observed, however, that when
the rural animals began to breathe the
infected air they began at once to show
ilgns of weakness and lassitude. They
lost their liveliness and grew glassy
eyed, and though they continued to
oat, they became poor in flesh. There
is a grim significance in these facta
which should teach us a lesson that
good sanitation is a prime necessity,
not only aa a defense against direct
assaults of germ disease, but also
against the lowering of tho physical
powers which opens the system not
only to the bacillus but to all the other
foes which lie la wait to destroy life.
