A few years ago Capt. Gibson died, leaving a fine estate to his large family of children, who are now devoting the property to the interests of a communal society.

Fte invested in, the concern and studied Its workings. Afterwards, with Alexander Longley, altruist editor, he returned to Michigan and succeeded in interesting the rest of the heirs to his father's estate In the communal idea.

They agreed that no finer or better location for the community could be found than on the farm of the late Capt. Gibson. So the Gibsons in "hS'communHy. Ule older. The old inn, which had sheltered the travellers along that thoroughfare tor many years was remodelled, and Is now occupied by the first members.

The organization was effected in November ast, and since that time fifty other families have joined the colony, and there are more to follow. The population numbers ISO, and there are forty houses. b. b. Gibson, Secretary of the association, showed the reporter through the various departments, and explained the workings ol: the new organization.

In tile basket factory a number of workmen were engaged in making lunch baskets, which were of first-class workmanship. A broom factory Is also in operation, a laundry Is being built; also a creamery. The community now has 200 cows, and in the spring the creamery business will be started on a large scale Farming and market gardening will also be carried on extensively. Those that have thus far joined the organization are thrifty, tidy, go-aheart people. The said that he has a large correspondence, from the tone of which he thinks that in the next two months many additions will be made to the membership.

"Of course the community Is still in its infancy," he said, "and we want members. On the farm there will be plenty of work for all we take into the society. For those that go there at once there Is plenty to eat, and all will find comfortable homes. "We have made this community a strictly co-operative concern," said Mr. Gibson, "and there Is little doubt that it will succeed.

'The estate Is composed of 415 acres of the most fertile land In Michigan. The affairs of the institution will be carried on In a businesslike way. The members will meet at certain times to decide upon matters pertaining to the government, and to select superintendents In the various departments. New members will not be admitted without a majority vote of the members already Poodles the trick specialists of the canine world. They learn quickly, up to certain point being as Intelligent as an average child of eight or ten years, and display a genuine pleasure in showing off their accomplishments.

It Is this cheerful spirit which has made the poodle the favorlto stage dog, for his evident desire to play the parts well always finds favor with the audience. Many a stage loafer and dissipated circus clown has been kept In the good graces of the public by his hard-working poodle. It Is interesting to teach a poodle tricks. Before beginning it Is well to study closely the characteristics of the animal; patience and kindness will do I the rest. Many dogs do certain things of their own accord, such as shaking hands or sitting up.

In training them, seize on such actions and teach the dog to do them at the word of It is easy to teach a poodle to respond quickly to a certain name. Hut where several are kept it is much harder. Ry dividing the food Into small morsels and calling each dog In turn to receive his piece, always insisting that the dogs shall come In the order called or go hungry, the knowledge may soon be taught.

If any one feels that he must give give paw. Or, one paw readily, teach him to the other when you say "other as a change, the words hands" and "shake hands" can be used. Should the dog offer the wrong paw, repeat your command until he changes It, then fondle him as a reward for obeying. Next teach the poodle to stand erect. Hold a piece of biscuit a little above the dog's nose, so that he will naturally rise upon his hind feet to get It, saying, as you do so, "I'p!" As soon as ho is erect, let him stand for a few seconds before giving the i'ood an a reward.

Do this repeatedly until the poodle will stand by merely holding out the hand and saying "Up!" The lessons must be given frequently, but they must not be tediously prolonged at first. As soon as the dog learns to stand at the word, any attempt to resume his natural position must lie checked by a slight tap under the chin. learning to stand well is very Important, for It is the first movement in a group of entertaining tricks.

DECADENCE OP MAN. Sarah Grand's Opinion IB that Ho Has Grown Monotonous nnd Cheap. But, where are our men? asks Sarah Grand, of "Heavenly Twins" fame, In the North American Review. Where is the chivalry, the truth and affection, the earnest purpose, the plain living, high thinking and noble self-sucrlfice that make a man? We look in vain among the bulk of our writers even for appro- elation of these qualities. With the younger men all that is usually cultivated Is that flippant smartness which Is synonymous with cheapness.

There Is such a want of wit among them, too, such a lack of variety, such monotony of threadbare subjects worked to death! Their "comic" papers subsist upon repetitions of those three venerable the mother-in-law, somebody drunk, and an edifying deception successfully prac- tised by an unfaithful husband or wife. As they have nothing true, so they have nothing new to give us, nothing cltlitr to expand the heart or move us to hmiiiy mirth.
