HIS COMMUNES ALL FAILED Bareer of Jacques Etienne Normand, ' Who Started Saint Simonist Colonles in Texas. Beventy years ago a French settle- ment was made at Reunion, Tex., by group of disciples of the social re- rm proposed by Saint Simon. oving spirit of the colony was lacques Etienne Normand. Adopting e theories of the Saint Simonists, lormand associated himself with rthelemy Enfantin and later with 'ean Reybaud. Disagreements arose pnd Normand assumed independent ::ndership of a faction; in the revo- tion of 1848 he sought permission to prganize a community of his follow- :\;fl in Picardy. When Louis Napoleon become prince-president he promptly mxpelled Normand from France. In | 51 Normand found his way to Texas d joined forces with Victor Consid- rant, also expelled from France. Nor- d was abundantly supplied with ds and bought 2,000 acres near San Antonio, on which he established the tommune of La Reunion. The morals bt the community were not above re- btonch, even in a border community, pnd Considerant urged that commun- Ism should extend to the community of women, who were said to be no bet- ter than they should be, hence Texas pxpelled them all. In 1857 Normand endeavored to establish a commune pear El Paso and in 1861 he renewed the attempt at La Reunion. For the last attempt he was sent to prison for five years. He died in San Antonio In 1867. {PHALACROSIS WAS T0OO MUCH The Jury Decided That the Defend- ant Had Something the Mat- ter With His Head. l The case was one of assault and ttery, and one of the witnesses was local doctor whom the prosecuting Bolicitor proceeded to bully, suggest- ing that he was prejudiced in favor the defendant and had wilfully dis- | d his evidence in his favor. The ; tor denied this, and went on to that the defendant was suffering m “phalacrosis.” The word caused sensation in court, and, asked to flefine the disease, the doctor de- bed it as “a sort of chronic dis- e of an inflammatory nature which lects certain cranial tissues.” Asked if it affected the mind, the doctor said he was not posing as an expert, but he had known some per- wons when suffering from the disease to become raving maniacs, and others merely foolish; some showed destruct- dve and pugilistic tendencies, while many others had suffered for years mnd had never shown any mental ab- mormalities. He refused to say any- Rhing further, and the jury promptly mequitted the accused; because, as the foreman explained, “Doctor said there was something the matter with his head.” ‘When the case was over the prose- cutor sought enlightment as to the wysterious disease, and found that | *phalacrosis” meant—baldness! Yankees at Work in India. A hundred and fifty miles from Cal- cutta, in Kalimati, stands the first steel and iron power plant ever con- structed in India, the Edison Month- iy says. This enterprise was pro- Jected by a wealthy Parsee, planned dy an American engineer from Pitts- burg and executed by another Pitts- burg man with the assistance of na- tive labor only. Among workmen were Bengalis, “Punjabis and Sikhs, for whom a town accommodating 25,000 was built in the midst of a jungle. The equipment of the plant included three horizontal tur- %o generators of the Zoelly type, capa- dle of developing some 4,000 horse power, which is used to drive the ma- chinery of the Tatia Iron and Steel ‘ompany. H Coming Age of Pockets. Every age is notable for some pecu: dar storages—1800 had its bandboxes, ¥ragile and troublesome; 1900 concen: trated its skill on suit cases, evolv: 4ng all the time toward compactness; 4950 will be notable for the crowning virtue of having everything at hand. An ideal pocket system is the problem of the day. It must be invented; 3 aystem of least wasted room and thq ‘most useful material—New York In dependent. TAKE IT IN TIME Just as Scores of Bemidji People Have ; Waiting doesn’t pay. If you neglect kidney backache, . Urinary troubles often follow. Doan's Kidney Pills are for kidney backache, and for other kidney ills. Bemidji citizens endorse them. Mrs. E. Rolky, 1009 Bemidji Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “I and other members of my family have used Doan’s Kidney Pills and have been benefited. I had backache and head- aches and my kidneys caused me an- noyance. I got Doan’s Kidney Pills at Barker’s Drug Store and they did me a world of good. I think a great deal of Doan’s Kidney Pills and I am glad to recommend them.” “When Your Back is Lame—Re- member the Name.” Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—ask distinctly for Doan’s Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs. Rolky had—the remedy backed by home testimony.

Without the condemning testi- mony of the wife the court cannot do much with him, and, though her an- ger may be such as ‘o countenance his arrest and arraignment, the chances pre about ten to one that at the last pinch it weakens and fails her, as one or two stories from the cify court will {llusrate.

Cornstalks Used in Building. It is three hours to Cairo by train, pnd every Inch of the way is interest- ing. Hven on the outskirts of Alexan- dria, says a writer in the Christian Herald, we passed nomadic groups of Bedouins, .camping by the side of the Mahmoudieh canal. Out in the fields men and women, dressed alike in the loose cotton gown of the country, were busily at work. The fields were dotted with curious doorless struc- tures made of cornstalks. They are used as temporary homes at certain peasons of the year, as, for instance, when the crops are being gathered.
