RUSSIA.
Judgment has heen given at st.
Petersburg in the suit brought by
the Jewish community at Mohileff
against the Privy Councillor NJ.
Demboversky, ex-governor Of the
town, who is accused of having ex-
ceeded his administrative powers in
ordering a Jew named Pevzner,
who had quarreled with a priest of
the Orthodox Church, whom he
was alleged tohavei nsulted, should
receive fifty strokes of the birch
rod. The local commissary of po-
lice, it was further added by the
plaintiffs, had taken it upon himself
to double this number of strokes,
with the result that Pevzner, q
short time afterwards, died from
the effects of the punishment. The
Senate, sitting as a court of appeal,
has decided that the case must be
reheard.

FOREIGN NEWS.
AUSTRIA-HUNGARY.

Committee" of Vienna issues an
address, which appears to us very
un-Christian in tone. Being address
sed to the christian people of
AUSTRIA" it asks them to fight
against Jewish liberalism and Jew

coming to detail, that capitalism

reforms in the Agrarian laws, the
welfare of the working classes, a

1t ends by promising 1.-THE King

Herr julius Stern, a well-known
and highly esteemed member of the
Council of the Vienna Bourse, died
at Vienna on February 10th, after
a protracted illness. He was in his
6Sth year. The deceased was very
well educated, and a great connois-

The deceased was a brother of DR.,

HOLLAND.
At Amsterdam, a splendid collec-
ton of pictures by old and new
masters is attracting many visitors.
Among the pictures deserving great
praise is a large canvass by young
LAX ~Israels, showing life on the
Amsterdam Damrak, in the glim-
mer of the snow. The artist is the
son of Josef Israels, whose work
may be seen in the same room in
the form of one of his excellent de-
lineations of the fsherfolk.
The late Herr E. L. Jacobson, of
Rotterdam, whose death occurred
recently, has bequeathed numerous
legacies to philanthropic, religious,
and educational institutions of that
city. Protestant and Roman Ca
tholic institutions are among the
~benefciaries. The largest individ-
ual legacy amounts to 10000 flo
rims, and has been left to the Asylum
for Aged Jews.
In connection with the famine

do not work. There is no such thing as a
general day OF rest, except when there is
an abundance on hand and nobody works.
In this instance the wheel is not turned.
The other rest days come TO each man
about once in five days
The times when the men get money for
their share of the work come around rather
irreP ularly, it all depenGin on the catch.
After the money is divided the men do
with it as they peese. Each pays 81 a
year into the general fund. Half of thi>
goes to land rent and half for money to
buy nets, etc. The other source OF profit
is from the sale OF ducks and chickens.
These have to be bought from tue COM
munity the same as if they were bought
from any business house. When there is
a surplus OF money from such sources it
is equally divided. Thus, however. does
not occur very often.
The many residents of the village live in
small houses that they own themselves,
do their own cooking, and otherwise go
along as they please. When man de.
sires to leave the village he gives week 5

widest manner. One day a certain man
will be cooking the shrimp al one or the
caldrons, the next day he may be out IN
one OF the boats. and the next day he
may be attending TO the chickens and
ducks. And so it goes on with every pos
! lple position in the village.
1t will be thus apparent that in every 2o0
days each man has done as much work as
his neighbor. Although some OF the jobs
are easier or harder than some of the
others. every man has chance at them
and consequently must do an equal
amount. There are plenty of men to do
the work, so that nobody has 10 work too
hard.
AS each man has done an equal amount
OF work it must follow that each should
enjoy an equal amount of the returns.
This Is accomplished easily by dividing
equally all the money that comes !nto the
community after paying the bills for nets
and such things as cannot be made on the
ground.
How is all this accomplished? 1t might
seem to be a complicated job to keep track
OF so many men and equally divide the
work between them. But the Chinese
find it an easy matter. No calculations
for them. A wheel is better. This affair
is in the josshouse, which is also the
account building and lottery. 1t consists
only of fiat wheel, somewhat like the
kind that boys saw from boards o be used
on small wagons, only it is nearly SIX feet
in diameter and fastened to the wall OF
the building.
On the outer rim of the wheel are
fastened a number of characters repre-
senting he names OF the men. There is
a character for each man. On the wall
close to the rim of the wheel are fastened
a number Of characters representing the
different occupations of all the men in
the village. By turning the wheel one
character the names and occupations are
changed for every man on the wheel. or
course the Characters are stationary and
the wheel movable. Alter the wheel has
been moved for certain day it is locked
and the key given into the CUSTODY OF the
man whose duty it is TO take charge Of il
for the day. The turning of the wheel is
done each evening for the day following,
so that there is plenty of time for all to
find out what their duties Will b. on the
morrow and prepare for them. The act
of changing the wheel is done in the
presence of every body who chooses TO be
on hand to see it done.
In the circle of characters repres enting
the occupations there are number OF
characters just exactly alike. These are
TO represent the days when certain men

ious to take bis place. Few leave except
to go TO China.
There is but one reason why such
plan of cooperation and division OF prohts
should not result in large gains 10 all OF
the men, and that IS gam bling. In the
josshouse OF this village there is large
lottery wheel that is running nearly every
night. All those who wish TO play put
certain sums into what pOker-piayers call
a "pot." Numbers are then put into the
wheel, and the game proceeds in the usual
manner. 1t often happens that large
sums are at stake. the result OF those WIN
ming previously stalking their piles. VI
course they have all the chances, and
usually win, but at the same time their
large sums are an iDducement 10 men OF
small means. And so it happens that the
good of the cooperation is defeated. But
perhaps it is just as well, for all OF the big
winners are sure to 60 10 China as soon as
their p le is big enough-that is, after they
have settled with the Six Companies

village. When not looking Tor lniorma-
ton it came without the asking That the
man who gave the information was tell
ing the truth there can be little doubt, Tor
the facts he revealed seem Just what are
wanted 10 explain a good many things.
And besides one would hardly give a

in front of the door OF a tumble-do own

in China for several centuries.
Th fundamental principle of this COM
munity is equality. And the princ ciple is
carried out. Every man gets the same
pay as his fellow worker, and each man
does the same amount of work as the
others. When there is an abundance all
rest and take things easy. Furthermore,
the community entails no obligation on
mans private life. Each lives as he
pleases In other words the community
plans are purely industrial and co-opera-
tion stops a each mans doorstep. The
word man is used here because there are
no women IN this llage. But it is said
that the same plans are earned out as sue
cessfully where there are women, and that
tn e same ends are attained.
All this may sound like a Utopian
dream, but there is no dream about It
and the conclusion TO be reached after a
visit 10 the village is that cooperation is
a failure. And dead failure at that, for
it has accomplished nothing toward ele-
valing mans condition. In fact, in this
instance it has lowered and degrad ed it by
making tie individual content to plod

when lack of money outweighed senti-

story, with change OF nationality, could
be told of the Napoleonic treasures.
A meat-platter and gravy-boat and sau-
Gel and pair of gold sleeve buttons, all
OF which once belonged to King Kalakaua,
are of more recent interest, but under ex-
listing circum stances rouse a train of
thought more than tinged with sadness
and foreboding.
Quite different feelings are aroused by an
inspection of the comb said to have been
once worn by Isabella, consort OF Ferdi-
nand. This wonderful piece of carving is
formed from one solid piece OF tortoise
shell eighteen inches from the tip OF the
teeth to the top of the gracefully curved
ferns which, surrounded by a rose vine In
which the flowers, buds and foliage are
carved with almost fairy-like minIteness
and delicacy of detail. forms the design of
of Spain's most gracious and far r-seeing
sovereign.
In sharp contrast to this is the crown of
queen of the Marauesas Islands. This
curious and. indeed, very ornamental
specimen of savage taste and skill
is com posed of two thousand por-
po;se teeth, about the size and twice
the length of grain of rice. and as purely
white as pearls themselves. These teeth
are each drilled with a tiny hole, and
through this they are mounted on bits of
cocoanut fiber and then thickiy woven
around an inner circle until the effect is
of thick wre ath of finest coral.
Outside these strictly royal curios,
which are as valuable as they are rare and
interesting, Mr.. Sutton's collection is one
to delight the heart of both amateur and

Bellamy and a host CT others cailng
themselves his followers have advocated
for long time. Instead OF being an ad-
vancement therefore those ideas must ce
conceded to belong to past age.
AS has been stated, the idea OF the Ch l.
nese cooperation s equality. 1t Is natural
that in such a community there should
be a large number of different occupa-
tions, but all of the kind that would be
called "labor." To equalize this each
man has to work at all of them at differ
ent times. So carefully have these been
studied out that man could tell m onths
ahead Just what his occupation would os
on certain day. The different depart
ments are divided and subdivided over
and over again until there is a JOB Tor
each man on each day.
At the village in question there are
about 200 men and as many different
jobs For instance there Is the work in
the boats, the cooking of the shrlmps, The
collecting and spreading out 10 dry, the
work OF drying and the final sorting and
sending to market. Besides this there is
the work of caring for the boats and nets,

small informant had given me l should
have found my trip down Harrison street
nothing but disappointment had it not
occurred to me when l thought that l
had walked about lar enough to ask someI
children playing on the pavement if they
knew where Mr.. Larson lived.
They did not-not blessed one of
them; but when 1 mentioned, 10 make
the matter clearer, that / was really in
search of ''the little boy who made the
clock" they fairly fell over each other in
the endeavor to direct me Alright In fact,
they concluded, one and all, to accom-
pany ne to my destination, for fear that,
in spite of their united and clamor-
Gus efforts to make me understand that
"Willie's house" (it is always the children
who own the houses in Little Folks
Land was situated on the next corner,
l might not be able to find it readily.
Willie himself opened the door to me
and ruthlessly shut it in the faces of my
retinue. And then Mrs. Larson made me
welcome, while her small son STOOD BASH
fully at a distance and could not tor some
time be prevailed upon to talk either of
himself or his work. His mother, how
ever, told me of them both, her blue Dan
ish eyes full of that loving maternal pride
which is so beautiful wherever found, and
she brought out the simple machine with
which the careful childish fingers had
wrought such marvels of wooden lace
work.
Then the young artificer forgot himself
and his bashfulness in his anxiety to show
off his beloved saw properly, and he came
out of his corner, and placing one stubby-
toed shoe on the t-eadle explained to me
just how the 6ne-tootked, narrow piece of
steel worked up and down. and how care
full the operator had to be in rounding
curves and cutting out sharp corners
Then he showed me enough pretty bric-a-
brac--card- baskets, brackets and doll
house furniture--to stock small store, all
the work of his own skil.ful hands, and at
last he exhibited the clock itself.

No my day to work; me work t'moi-

some work mex day, no work other day.
At this point of the conversation it
dawred on me that the old fellow was
trying to explain something. By long
and 1ficult work | managed TO get a
mum ber of acts that told the whole story.
BY putting them together all the intrlca-
cies of the Chinese plan of cooperation
were made clear. The old man did not
explain things in the proper order nor
did he use good English. 1t was also nee
essary in mum Der of instances to ASK a
nun ber OF questions to bring out GER
tain fact, so it will be impossible to tell
the story of the plan of cooperation in
his language.
But from the information which he
gave it is only TOO apparent that the plan
of cooperation is very much like what

along in the same rut as his neighboT. A
things are he cannot com plain, and every
part of the system is so economically
worked out as to leave no room for what
would be called improvement.
1t must have been long ago apparent to
a good many that these people of the
Orient had some plan OF cooperation by
which thev were enabled to properly di-
vide the profits of their labor. All are
seen engaged in the same work day after
day, but now do they even things up SC
that each shall receive an equable compen-
saton for his work?
10 arrive at such facts is not an easy
matter, for il is we'll known that the
"heathen Chinee is peculiar" and deeply
resents any investigation of his way of
working or living. But it occasionally
happens that such things come about
when they are not expected.
That is what transplred few days ago
The San Francisco call., 1897-11-07

This is said 10 be because the social lines
are so strongly drawn. Every man has
his place in the community and there Is
little use for him to Try to get out OF it.
And the fact remains that few ever try to
get out. All are content to remain where
thew were born.
Whether or not this condition is due to
the social conditions of the country is a
matter open to discussion, but that the
Chinese have solved some OF the prob
lens with which modern civilization is
struggling cannot be doubted after
study is made of some of the communi-
ties at present prospecting IN California.
There is a fishing village on the shore OF
Marin County, about six miles from San
Rafael, where cooperation is worked
down to a nicely and where many of the
theories of BelIamy are in daily opera
ton. And not only this, but the men
over there say the plans have been in use
