MODERN UTOPIAS. Eurnyrtin Countries In Which Pauperism Im Unknown. Denmark claims that there is not a single person in her domain who cannot read and write. On the northeast coast of New Guinea the island of Kutaba, surrounded by a wall of coral 300 feet high on one side and from 50 to 100 feet on the other, maintains thirteen villages of natives, to whom war, crime and poverty have been unknown since the beginning of their traditions. The most peaceful and comfortable community in Europe is the commune of the Canton Vaud, in Switzerland. Nearly every one is well off. and there- are no paupers. Finland is n realm whose inhabitants are remarkable for their inviolate integrity. There are no luniks and no safe deposits, for no such security is essential. You may leave your luggage anywhere for any length of time and be quite mire of finding it uutouched on your return, and your purse full of money would be just as secure under similar circumstances. The Finns place their money and valuables in holes in the ground and cover them with a big leaf. Such treasure is sacredly respected by all who pass it, but in the rare event of a man wishing to borrow of his neighbor during his absence he will take only the smallest sum he requires and place a message in the hole tolling of his urgent need and promising to repay the amount on a specified date. And he will invariably keep his word, for tiie Finn is invincible in his independence. Agneta Park, near Delft, in Holland, is another Utopia example. A tract of ten acres has upon it 150 bouses, each with its little garden and with certain common buildings and <•0111111011 grounds. The bouses are occupied by the employees of a great distilling company. who form a corporation which owns the park. Each uiemlar owns shares in the coloration and pays rent for his house. The surplus, after all expenses have been paid, comes back to him as dividend. If he wishes to go away or if he dies his shares are bought up by the corporation and sold to the man who takes his place.—Detroit Free Press.
