In Chardon, one man has torn away all the partitions of
the lower part of a good two story house. Here a large number live together.
The food consisting of meat and vegetables, it is said, are placed on the
table in a large pan, which is the whole table furniture. From this every
inmate takes a piece of meat and potatoe in his hands and devours them
as he walks about the room. As to matters of apparel, and indeed other
things, where any one wants what he has not he takes it any where in the
family where he can find it unoccupied. All things are common. |
