THE harvest is now being gather
ed, and judging from the comments
OF our exchanges, the crops Of the
present year viii largely exceed those
OF the last in all the States Of the
west and south. Ia addition to this
the crops in Indiana, Ohio, and in
this State, will be considerably above
the average. In these latter States
corn and fruit are backward, but with
a few weeks Of favorable weather a
large yield is anticipated. This viii
be gratifying news to the poor and
the nonproducers, for with abundant
harvests in all the States prices of
bread-stuffs must fall, as a matter of
cOurse.

Where there is extreme poverty,
there is extreme luxury. Probably
one makes the other. 1t is a curious
contrast, these hot, sitting tenement
buildings in the lower part Of the
city, with the luxurious mansions up
town. While the mechanic smothers
in a tenement house, Mr.. VIM. b As
tor reyels in the possession Of $500
GEO in pictures, plate and furniture.
/ Geo. W. Burnham ~confesses to $780,
coo: the Lennox family can't enjoy
life with less than 81, $4,000 worth
Of jewelry, plate and pictures; the
Brown Bros, bankers, have over 81,
00O, 600; the Kingslands, Tailors,
SpoTords, L~orillards, and a score Of
/ others wear, sit on and look at such
property to the amount of $500, 600
each, and upwards. And bear in
mind, these sums represent the rare
and curious in these luxuries, the
diamonds, pictures, ornamental and
luxurious furniture, the quaint and
curious, the beautiful and luxurious.
1t is nothing for these people to pay
$20,0 Geo for q picture or q piece of
statuary, and that sum for a piece of
jewelry, is as common as eating.
That is to say it, uas common. Just
now, men are not investing in this
way as much as they were. The
tight times have checked this kind Of
extravaganza, and for some time to
come the dealers in articles Of mere
luxury will languish.

THE HEATED TERM.

NEW DIRK, July j, 1919.
THE HEATED TERM.
Think Of being compelled to stay
in narrow streets, built up with stone
and brick either side three, four, FIVE
six and seven stories, with the suns
hot rays sending the thermometer up
to 500, and on occasion to 1862! This
is what New Workers had to endure
for the last two weeks. 1t has been
terrible in the best and most pleasant
parts Of the city-in the roomy and
airy parts-and what it has been in
the lower parts, where people herd
together in sub-cellars and a%ttics,
NAV be imagined. Think Of a build
ing six stories high, with windows
only in front and rear, say so by 100
feet in dimensions, containing six
hundred men, women and children,
all cooking, eating and sleeping
being done therein. And this with a
glowing sky, a burning sun, with no
airl Imagine the atmosphere Of such
q building, when the thermometers
in the open parks stand at 1909!
But there are five hundred thous-
and people in New York who exist
in such buildings.

HORSES AND CARRIAGES.

Speaking ofluxuries, vehicular ex-
penditure is not the least thing thai
the New Yorker has TO encounter
Fashion DEGREES that any family
making any pre:ense to means must
be carried, and Of course the vehicles
and hon ses must be owned. And it
costs, as the head of the family dis
covers.
To begin with, a simple phaeton
for two horses, (and two, at least,
must be had) costs with the horses,
not less than $4,000, and to keep it
going requires a coachman, who
costs per annum not less than ST.
500.
This is the very least that can be
done to be anybody. If you desire
to be more than merely comfortable,
q coupe can be had for anywhere
from i 800 TO 50, 500, and still higher
up is the Clarence, which win require
something like $1,000. A wealthy
family viii have six or eight horses
one for single driving, two pairs for
carriages, n or two for the saddle,
and so on. They win have several
carriages, for it is q point to be seen
one day in one and another in anoth-
er. Then in addition to a solemn
looking coachmaz in livery on the
box, you must have two funkies
equal in solemnity on behind, the
entire outfit costing probably S20, goo,
and requiring an outlay Of fully SI0,-
coo per annum TO keep it up.
