Strange fancies sometimes take pos cession of religious sects, but the strangest of ail is probably the dis tressing mania that lias enthralled 5,000 liu&bian Doukhoborsti, who have located in western Manitoba, says a special to the .New York Times from Vorktown, Manitoba. In the Swan river district the government is appre hensive for the remarkable craze that lias taken possession of those colon ists. A visit to the community showed that the sights, scenes and the horror depicted were almost beyond concep tion. Ml It is well known that the Doukhobor sti are adverse to shedding blood. This is the reason why they emigrated Irom Kussia, and it is also tin; reason why the Canadian government exempt ed them from military duty as induce ment for their location on the prairie lands of the west. As to what they should eat, this was purely a personal matter, but, as it appears, it was one of the features that wasoverlooked bv the government that will cause im mense trouble. In this country a man may eat what he chooses, and if his religion dictates that he shall conform to a vegetable diet, such beliefs are respected. All might lLave been well had this state of affairs been confined to vegetarian ism, but the Doukhoborsti religion does not appear tc be a finished prod uct. It has been constantly undergo ing changes. From the belief that it was a sin to eat meat, it seems a long jump to reach the conclusion that it is wrong to eat animal products, but these people have now given np drink ing milk, eating bulter, cheese, eggs, etc., and the cows, oxen, goats and fowl are increasing and multiplying, and waxing fat, while the people are on the verge of starvation. Having reached this absurd posi tion, it was but a step to another and. more ridiculous one. If it were wrong to eat the flesh of animals the same line of reasoning made it comparative ly earp to condemn the use of leather harness made from the hides of God's creatures, and then followed the con demnation of woolen clothing, because wool grown on the bodies of sheep, which also belonged to the Lord. The next step was still more sweeping in its effect on their economic condition. It was to make servant of any of the lower animals, to use them for beasts of burden or for any other pur pose. They had the courage of their convictions-, and at once turned out their horses. cattle and sheep, driving them to "(Jod's Hill." to forage for them selves, placing all the burdens of farm life on their own shoulders. For all drawing purposes, such as hauling heavy loads on wagons, men take the place of horses and oxen. Twelve or 14 men hitched to a plow suffice for this purpose, and it is the only method' employed by them in thecultivation of the soil. Women, even, are employed in this manner, though when coming into town men only are seen hauling the wagons and bnygies. Every day in the streets of York town dozens of men may be seen drawing wagons, hauling what Iitttle produce they may have for sle, and carrying back to their farms flour ana other neces sities. The Doukhoborsti are clad exclu sively in cotton clothes and wear rub her boots or shoes knit or woven with binder twine, which thev buv for the purpose. Their food consist of bread and water, and such vegetables as they grow, and wild berries a nd herbs which they gather. Their farms are neglect ed and their stock, of which they have much, is running wild in the hills, where it will all die during the winter, or be appropriated by those who are not of their religious faith, and who will at least give the ?t'k shelter. With the advent of cold weather starvation and disease must certainly follow, and they appear to know this, for they have been in correspondence with authorities in southern Cali fornia, Nevada, Arizona and Australia, with a view to emiirratii n to a warmer climate where the conditions would enable them to subsist on the soil without t respassj ng on the possessions of the animal kingdom. It is needless to say that no one want them, as they are still in Manitoba, an elephant on the hands- of the government- that brought, them from Kuia a few years ago to develop the prairie land of the west.
