THE SHAKERS.
DESCRIPTION OF A SETTLEMENT
IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
IP/kny More Women than Men—Silent
While The> Eat— Separate Stair
/ !>se for the Sexes—
Their Song.
“When I visited the Canterbury settle
ment in New Hampshire a little over a
year ago,” said a lady to a New York
Star reporter, “I found three families,
who live and are governed separately!
They worship in one church in summer,
but in winter, for convenience, occupy
halls in their separate buildings. The
• family I visited was the first, or ‘church
liftfily’ My daughter was with me.
“We arA ve<l in the evenin g at the
society’s oftf e ' cheerful looking
woman, who*' afterward learned was
Sifcti ••*” h. opened the door wide
t( rather timid knock. She wel-
C( us kindly to a sitting room and
bade us be at home. Her costume was
like that of all of the women. A gray
pongee gown, cut with a plain round
waist, loosely fitted her figure. The
full skirt was plaited in small uniform kilt
plaits. A large white handkerchief was
folded about her neck and across her
breast in some wonderfully pretty wav,
which I could never afterward imitate.
A close little cap of lace, like a milliner’s
bonnet frame, covered her blonde hair,
which was combed straight back and
fastened in a flat knot behind. The
shaker costume, though ugly in itself,
made Sister Elizabeth look verv sweet.
It just suited her quiet eyes, her gentle
smiling mouth and reposed manner.
“The Shaker women wear a hoop of
some contrivance which extends the skirt
with a straight, gradual slope from waist
to hem. It gives them a stately look.
The women, with rare exceptions, are
thin and pale, with a sober and sometimes
severe countenance. We saw no plump,
happy faces. Even the children look old
nnd staid, and speak with a something
which sets them apart from one’s
sympathy'.
“I spoke of tho women first, because
they interested me most, and besides
they outnumber the men as five to one.
They are remarkably refined and intel
lectual for i heir class. The men, with
the exception of the elders and a few
others, are inferior to the .sisters in all
respects. They are, however, extremely
kind and courteous to the women. The
sisters look .after their wants with mother
ly care, each of the elder sisters bavin"
charge of the clothes and general well
being of one or two brothers.
“The Shaker settlement is very pros
perous in a worldly sense. There are va
rious buildings belonging to the society;
homes, a school-house, a workshop for
the men, and also one for the women
and another for the children. There is
a printing office, an inflmary presided
over by an elder sister, and containing a
full equipment of drugs and medicines.
“Ol course the main support of the
colony and its income is from the farm,
which is large and under a high state of
cultivation. It is well stocked with
horses and oat tic, but they do not raise
either. Pigs there are none, and pork is
prohibited as unclean food. Some of the
horses are fine stock.
“1 he house in which we were enter
tained belonged to the first family. It
was large and square. The halls and
staircases were on opposite sides of the
house, one for the men and the other for
the women. The floors were of dark
wood, stained and polished. The doors
and casings were stained a peculiar "vel
low throughout. Nothing j>oor or mean
was used in either the furniture or dec
orations. Everything was simple. In
our room large, handsome rugs of soft
wool, made by the Shakers, lay upon the
floor. . They resembled Smyrna rugs. In
opposite corners were two white beds,
and in another corner was a little cast
iron wood-burning stove, plain and
smooth. In it a fire crackled cheerfully.
These stoves are in every room. The
curtains in all the houses were most
dainty and novel. They were of white
linen, suspended by brass rings on a
bright brass rod. When the curtains
were down each side looked like a half
open fan.
“A tall, old-fashioned clock stood at
the head of each staircase. The clocks
are as old as the house itself—one hun
dred years. Meals are served to guests
in a room and at a table by themselves.
This hardly seemed hospitable, but Sis
ter Elizabeth explained that the Shakers
always ate in perfect silence. The
brothers and sisters sit on opposite sides
of the table.
“The children are well advanced in
reading, arithmetic and particularly in
music and singing. Even the smaller
children read music readily. The pro
ficiency in music is owing to the fact that
the teachers themselves have obtained
the best possible instruction. The whole
family, at times, when the farm work is
light, drill in singing for two half hours
daily. All sing, and it is remarkable
how many fine voices there are. Their
religious hymns and anthems have been
written entirely by Shakers, and are
therefore peculiar. Most of the hymns
arc choral, and are sung with great
spirit. Like the Moravian sacred songs,
there is much repetition of words and
music.
“The Shakers show wonderful physical
strength when they sing. They sit and
sing, march and sing, and they kneel
and sing endless verses, the last note al
ways as clear and strong as the first.
There is a ring of triumph and victory
about the hymns, though many are tender
and sweet. Singing is indeed worship with
the Shaker. We attended a Sunday ser
vice. In closing, they united iu a hymn,
repeating one verse many times; then,
kneeling, still singing, they repeated it
yet again. At last, closing their eyes as
in prayer, they sang it for" the last time
very softly. These were the words:
“Watching and praying I find you,
Oh, my beloved, my own!
Trusting a l ather's rich promise,
I will not leave you alone—
-1 will not leave you alone.
Though through the desert I lend.
Or apart in the mountain ve pray
For strength in the hour of need,
I never will answer ye nav—
I never will answer ye nay.
“ I shall never forget the looks of ex
altation in the pale faces of the women,
or the strauge feeling of awe that came
over me as I held my breath to catch the
last faint lines of the hymn.
“The service, which had consisted of
a short scripture reading, a brief address
by the minister, Elder Henry, and re
marks by several members, wits mostly
composed of singing. Elder Henrv I
Bliun, the minister, had a frank and
open face, and was the spiritual head of
the family. He was very agreeable and
cultivated, and an entertaining conversa
tionalist. The women attended services
bare-headed, except for the little lace
cap, leaving thei* bonnets outside. They!
marched in, and all remained standing
through the first part of the service.
After the sermon they marched about in
& sprt of figure, ringing and waving, or |
-taking then hands, with upturned
palms. There was nothing indecorous or
undignified about the movement. Their
fervor seemed like true exaltation of
'pint and found full expression in their
singing and in their faces.”
-Newspaper Advertising.
I should judge that the j*-ople of this
country expend at least thirty times as
much money in newspaper advertising as
they did thirty years ago. The vast"in
crease of population and newspapers ex
plains a considerable part of this, but it
niostU comes from the more general and
ner use made of the advertising col
umns by the general public. All classes
lfne fome more and more to believe that
t le newspaper is the most impersonal,
self-respect in ;r, and effective way of get
before 1 *• public with what any one
wants to sav ; > it.
Thirty years ago a man who should
spend $2,000 a year in the newspapers
would attract attention as a large adver
tiser: now there are houses expending
almost as much monthly, right along
through the year, without attracting at
tention. Mr. Robert Bonner, whose
undertakings in all directions have been
characterized by breadth, boldness, pre
cision, and success, was the first to make
the public familial with large advertis
mg applied in the most original
manner, to build up the circula
tion of . his Ledger to a point
never attained before or since by anv
journal in this country. Although Mr.
Bonner’s largest newspaper advertising
was done twenty-five years ago (for he
rapidly made his paper successful, and,
having accomplished his purpose, cut
down his expenses iw that channel), still
no one has come tip to the “splendid au
dacity of an order for an insertion of an
advertisement to c< st over SOO,OOO. And
yet in pecuniary matters he is a very ex
act and careful man.
It agrees with my experience that news
paper advertising is profitable. As I look
back over the considerable number of
those whose advertising I have done 1 do
not recall a single one who judiciously,
perseveringly, and freely puslie 1 good
articles, of whatever kind, in the news
papers, and did not make at least a fair
success, while a great many have gained
ample fortunes. I will nqt mention
names in support of this statement, as I
could easily do, but the list is a large
one. Indeed, it has been my observation
that it is easier for large advertisers to
make money than to keep it. Often it
comes in so fast that the head gets turned
and lavish personal expenditures and un
profitable investments swallow up the
fortunes which, had they been longer in
making, would likely have been more
permanent.— J. 11. Bates.
The I’igs nnd the Weather.
Of pigs, I have heard it said, very fre
quently—
“ When swine cany sticks,
The clouds will play tricks*
but that—
“ When they lie in the mud,
No fears of a flood.”
first of these couplets is of twofold
interest. I have watched them for years,
to see what purport this carrying of
sticks and bunches of grass might have,
and have only learned that it lias noth
ing whatever to do with the weather, or
at least with coming rain-storms. The
drought of summer is so far a conven
ience as to throw light upon this habit,
as it did upon the uneasy cows. Pigs
carry sticks as frequently then as during
wet weather, or just prececding a shower.
Furthermore, these gathered twigs are
not brought together as though to make
a nest, but are scattered out in a per
fectly aimless manner. For some cause,
the animal is uneasy, and takes this cur
ious method of relieving itself. The pro
babilities are that it is a survival of some
habit common to swine in their feral con
dition, just as we see a dog turn about
half a dozen times before lying down.
In an interesting paper on local weather
lore, read by Air. Amos W. Butler be
fore the American association for the ad
vancement of science,during the Philadel
phia meeting of 1884, the author lias an
other version of this saying: “Whenhogs
gather up sticks and carry them about,
expect cold weather.” This is wholly at
variance with what I have observed, for
memoranda record this almost wholly
during the hot weather, and this must
necessarily be the rule with New Jersey
swine, or the local weather prophets
would not have coined the verse as I have
given it.
As to the couplet, it is about as near
meaningless as any saying can well be.
Some rustic rhymer, a century ago, may
have added it as a piece of fun, but it has
stuck most persistently. As it stands
now, it has stood for quite one hundred
years . —Popular Science Monthly.
Pies and Civilizat on.
Ilenry Ward Beecher is credited with
a remark to the effect that pie is the
great sign of civilization. “Where there
is no civilization,” he says, “there is no
pie; but where you find civilization there
also you will surely find pie.
“This is undoubtedly true,” said a
gentleman who ought to know, he being
connected with one of the largest pie
bakeries in the city. “At any rate, in
Chicago, one of the world's greatest cen
ters of civilization, you find pie in un
limited quantities.”
“Last year we made and sold 1,583,-
842 pies of all kinds, and now can turn
out, if neoee ary, 12,000 per day. Apple
pie is the favorite, closely followed iu the
season by whortleberry and in the winter
by mince. Cranberry pie is also a great
thing in winter, and pumpkin, squash
and custard are in great demand. With
the exception of apple pies, which are
good all the year round, the people de
mand as complete a change of pie as
they do of clothing.
"The pie business is a great institu
tion. We have eighteen wagons out all
day long, and our barn contains forty
live horses. Orders are taken by our
salesmen from their customers for the
next day's supply, and the pies are, so to
speak, cooked to order, so that no stale
ones are left on our hands. We employ
about thirty-five men and girls in our
factory, twenty-five of whom board in a
house we have erected for that purpose
on the premises." —Chicago Herald.
A Blade of Crass.
“Gather,’’ says Ruskiu, "a single blade
of grass, aud examine for a moment,
quietly, its narrow, sword-shaped strip
of fluted green. Think of it well, and
judge whether, of all the gorgeous flow
ers that beam in summer air. and of all
strong and goodly trees pleasant to the
eyes or good for food, there he any by
God more highly graced, by man more
deeply loved, than that narrow point of
feeble green. Consider what we owe to
the meadow gras?, to the covering of the
ground by that glorious enamel, by the
companies of those soft and countless
and peaceful spears.”
Learned mq) tell us that in Latin the
word editor means “to eat.” In United
States it means to scratch artfsnd lik
blazes to get something to eat,— Dans

Men Who Promised Little.
Archbishop Gibbons, the Primate of
the Catholic Church in America, who is
) amed as a coming Cardinal, graduated
near the foot of his class in college, and
was in no wise a brilliant student, nor is
he noted as a pulpit orator.
"Exator Gorman of Maryland, in his
younger days, when he was Postmaster
<>t the Senate, and measured considera
bly lees around the waistband than now.
was 1 resident of the old National Base
Ball Club, and was noted as an accurate
thrower and catcher.
Fifteen years ago Mr. Jcs?ph Arch
was a farm laborer, supporting his fam
ou four dollars weekly wages, and he is
now a member of Parliament. He is
what is commonly called a self-made
man, but, as his wife taught him to read
and write, he may be considered a cred
itable specimen of domestic manufacture.
Justice Field tells how his pride had
a fall. When he was a young man he
was particularly proud of his erect form
and fine, curling hair. Walking one
day with head well up he ran against a
cart and injured his knee. The injury
resulted in permanent lameness and a
consequent stoop in bis shoulders Af
terward bard study produced brain
fever, and a fly-blister cured the fever
and destroyed his waving locks.
Gladstone, as a young man, was not
overestimated by Disraeli, who wrote in
a letter in February, 1845, and now first
published, that Gladstone’s address was
dull and ineffective, and that' he might
c me to be ►omebody, but he did not
think so. He also writes of a dull
ner party at which “young Gladstone”
was present; but there wag an excellent
ly cooked swan, stuffed with truffles,
which, according to Disraeli, was “the
best company there.
The Hindoos are again complaining
of the poor quality of idol furnished
them by the Birmingham manufac
lurers. It seems that these manufaturers
have been producing such ugly styles of
ido s thai even the most relgious Hindoo
can’t worship them with fervor. More
over they are made out of cross-grained,
knotty wood, and are painted with cheap
min era paint which in hot weather
comes off when the devotees kiss them.
The Hindoo is very patient, but it does
rile him when the paint of a high-priced
god sticks to his lips.
During the war, Dr. Lloyd, of Ohio, con
tracted consumption. He says: “It wae by the
use of Allen's Lung Balsam that I am now
alive and enjoying perfect health.” If you have
a cough or cold,take at once Allen’s Lung Bal
sam. 25c.. 50c. and $1 per bottle, at Druggists.
