we do not know of more than one
house in the city of Jerusalem, or any
other Eastern city we have visited in
Northern Africa, or in Syria, which would
not be difficult or impossible to consume.
mat one, modern wooden cottage, is on
the high ground inside and west of the
Damascus Gate. AS far as we remember.
all the FESTIVALS, floors and roofs-are
masonry. These houses cost less there
than wooden ones. The same is true, to
great extent, of the popular architecture
OF the houses Of the people in Europe at
the present time. This point is substan-
tiated by awell-knoHn statement of Hiram
Powers, the sculptor, to the effect that
when there was a fire in an Italian city,
they were in no hurry to put it out, know
ing how completely it can be controlled
and how slowly it would spread They
would IN most cases cost little more than
wooden ones here, and the difference in
expense Of insurance would be good in
terest on that difference of cost, to say
nothing OF the feeling Of relief from
anxiety from the fact Of security. By the
use Ofsome such material as terra Gotta, the
French tell, or some other composite, cot
tages and villas and churches, as we'll
as State buildings, can be erected over
the heads OF the people now and here.
Those minor buildings can be so con-
structed as not only to be cheap and taste
full, but elegant. They are also healthier
in respect to non-liability to sudden
changes, to extremes of heat, cold and
moisture. By reference to British work
on architecture it will also be seen that
sdli@ trGg6JIis, (L), a wood which we can
grow in unbounded abundance, is both
non-fammable and adapted to such por-
tons of these structures as absolutely re-
Quire wood. Treatment of curtains and
some other house fixtures with a solution
of alum is another point worthy of con-
sideration by way of fire prevention.
The minds of the masses need disabusing
Of the idea that insurance money makes
good the losses from fire; the practical
truth being that insurance is only a pow
erful suction pump to draw the losses of
the few from the pockets Of the many.
The loss from fire being, as question of
political economy, an absolute loss of
just so much National wealth There
are over thirty-one and half millions of
dollars OF annual insured losses by fire in
the Empire State alone paid by the insur-
ance companies, leaving uninsured losses
out of the count.

A Cooperative Experiment.

IN Scribaer for May, Charles Barnard
has paper on "Some Experiments in
Cooperation, in which he speaks as
follows Of the Springfield (Vt) Industrial
Works, a successful cooperative enter
prise:
At the benches are young men and
women in about equal numbers, distrib-
uted according to the demands of the
work, or their own ability. Precisely as
in any manufactory there is regular
system of work and a perfect subdivision
of labor. By the peculiar method of Sc
lection each one has the work that the ma
jority think he or she is best suited to
perform consistently with the best interests
of the establishment. On going through
The various departments, one cannot fail
to notice the quiet and order that pre-
vail. There is a rigid adherence to bust
ness that is positively refreshing. Per
sons familiar with working people in mills
and shops can readily recall that calm
ness Of manner and ingenuity in doing
nothing with apparent energy that
characterize some of the workers.
Not trace of this can be seen il the in
dustrial works.
The sun goes down, the lamps are light
ed, and the work goes on without pause
1t is hammer, hammer, hammer, with all
the regularity and twice the energy OF
clock. The whirling shafts spin steadily,
the shavings fly from the planners, the
paint brushes slip along quickly in nim-
BILE girl fingers. 1t is work, work, work
with a jolly persistence. The SIX o'clock
bell rings, and no one seems to discover
it till the reluctant engineer turns off the
water, and the Gathering machinery runs
slowly and finally stops, as if it also held
shares in the company.
We may join them at their liberal table;
forty or more young men and women in
good health and the best of spirits They
are wel1-dressed, intelligent, with manners
self-respectful and courteous. After sup
per some amuse themselves with books,
music and games, and some return to the
shop for extra work. All are apparently
contented and happy, and all, without
exception, are making money at rate
seldom equaled by people in their posi-
ton.

LITERATURE.
The Principal P publications. of the We,

The Principal P Indications of the Year.
Hard times have made themselves felt in
book-publishing as elsewhere, but the making
of books has gone on much as before Few
notable works have been issued from the print
ing press, though the number of volumes des-
tined to go into "oblvons uncatalogued libra
ry'' has been immense. The German scholars
and critics have written long treatises on re-
ligien, on science, and on general literature,
full of information but very hard to read.
These will be packed away in the great libra.
ries, and other writers, less industrious and
learned, but more sprightlv and terse, will
make from them very readable books. France
has as usual contributed largely to bellies let
tres Victor Hugo has begun the composition
of "reminiscences of his life and times The
other great authors have been mostly silent.
The only work Of great interest to Americans,
written in foreign tongue, has been history
of our civil war, by the Court of Paris, who
served on the staff of General Mcclellan, In
England the warfare between science and the
o!ogy has been fiercely carried on by means of
pamphlets. The most notable work of the year
in the English tongue has been the Laureates
drama, "Queen Mary" work as to the
merits of which the critics differ, but which
all admit to be a noble theme, nobly handled.
The most important of American contribu-
tons in poetry is the volume of Longfellow's
later poems, taking its title from one of them.
The Masque of Pandora" Bayard Taylor,
joaquin Miller, G. z. Cranch, G. P Lathrop,
Margaret Preston, and II. w. Glider have pub.
lished volumes comprising chiefly occasional
and miscellaneous verses. In history we have
Carlyle's "Early Kings of Norway" Hubert
Bancroft's Native Races of the Pacific States"
Col. Higginson's admirable "Child's History of
the United States" DR.. Bacon's Genesis CT
the New England Churches" DR.. j. w. ORA
per's "History of the Conflict between Rel

THOMASSEN.
A Suspicion that he Caused the
Loss of the City of Boston.
Detectives Hunting up his Career.

LONDON, Dec. 31.-The London Times has
the following:
A detective from Bremen has arrived in
Liverpool to investigate the operations of
Thomassen, alias Thomas, with the view of dis
covering whether the man had any accom-.
plices. 1t has been ascertained that Thomassen
had made several trips between Liverpool and
New York, and he once attempted to obtain
heavy insurance on goods which he wished to
ship. The suspicion has been raised that he
night have been privy to the loss of the City
of Boston in January, 1870. Thomassen and
wife left New York in June following that
disaster and went to Dresden, where they lived
death Thomassen was asked if he knew the
City OF Boston. He promptly replied, eyes,
the lnman steamer; l know her very we'll, /"
The Messrs. lnman have no trace of Thomas
sen or Thomas in their books at Liverpool, but
the most careful inquiries will forthwith be
made at New York into the Boston's passen-
gers and cargoes and the insurance on the
latter.
Last October Thomassen engaged passage on
the steamer Celtic. At that time he made
several attempts to insure a box, which be
alleged contained $4,000 in gold, and each
time was banked by a demand for an inspec-
ton of it. He was unsuccessful in getting his
Insurance, but sailed Oct. 18th, and returned
landing at Plymouth Nov. 7th. The voyage is
therefore presumed to have been wasted, hav-
ing been made only to quiet suspicion.
Thomassen's movements in Liverpool were
suspicious, although he Informed the passage
brokers that he was an entire stranger. He
took his meals and slept away from his hotel
most of the time he was in the city. He was
Waterloo dock after he visited and inspected
the Celtic. The police believe he had accom-
plices in Liverpool, who may still possess his
appliances.
