WHAT 1T CosTs.-The Astor House pays
seventy FIVE thousand dollars year for gro
ceries, Including $1,000 for flour and S22, 900
for butter. Who would suppose that its
butter would cost nearly three times as much
as its flour? but so they tell me- Their
marketing bill is about $3.50. 900 they pay
one man from fifty five to sixty thousand
dollars for beef alone, and the balance of the
hundred and fifty thousand goes for mutton.
veal, pork, poultry, vegetables, fish, etc. The
milk and cream for the Astor cost $l4, 900,
aboat two-thirds of it being for milk and one
third for cream. Eggs cost $4,000, the av-
erage use being one hundred dozen daily, or
thirty-six thousand annually. The gas bill
is A4, ,06e, and the coal pretty much the
same friction matches cost dollar and a
half day, or about $500 a year. A good
many of these are not used in the house, but
find their way into the pockets of the pat
rons. Who would think of paying for wood
en- tooth picks when anybody can whittle one
with a little trouble. A million are used
every year in the Astor' House, atan expense
of something less than hundred dollars.
