A New Yorker, who says he has paid
a large house rent for smalIinconveni-
eut house quite long enough" adver-
tises for about twenty-five persons who
are willing to unite into a company
and put up enough houses for all at
some distance in the country, and thus,
by owning their own residences, be able
to avoid an enormous rent. Co-opera-
tive house-building may be very good
thing, but in view of the trials and dis
agreements which are sure to occur
when twenty-five persons unite In such
enterprises, and considering that one
house can be put up by one owner quite
as cheaply in proportion As twenty y-fiye
can be erected by twenty-five owners,
it seems to us far better for each indi-
vidual to do this for himself. He can
build then to suit his wants and means,
and avoid all risk of the quarreis which
the system above indicated would be
sure TO cause.

The Railroad Journal has completed
an interesting statement showing the
number of miles of railroad finished or
in process of construction in the United
States.
From this table we learn that the to-
tai number of miles ofrailway built and
in process of construction is 81 ,606.54, of
which 36, 6,596.26 are completed. Of the
number of miles completed, Pennsyl-
vania has the largest number 4,05 10;
Ohio is second in rank, having 3,402.9 90
Illinois third, having 3,25o.o5 miles;
New York fourth, having 3,025.3O miles;
Indiana fifth, having 2,49O.F miles. Or
epon ranks lowest in the number of
miles of railway completed, having but
1850 miles. East of the Rocky Noun
tains, Rhode Island contains the fewest
miles of railroad, having but 1924;
Delaware has 15O.40 miles, Arkansas l9l
miles; Kansas 240; Nebraska 275.
The total cost at these internal i'm
provements is put down at 81 ,502 1884,
OS5-a vast sum invested to keep us in
motion and move what we produce and
consume. 1t is alone a significant COM
ment upon the development and magni-
tude of our domestic commerce. The
average cost per mile of these railways
is S29,33O 81. The average cost per
