Living Here and There.

Valuable statistics in regard to the
comparative cost Of living in America
and Europe are given in the late "Mas-
sachusets Labor Report" One dollar
will buy twenty pounds Of -four in Bos
ton, one or two pounds more in some
European seaports, but the same are
considerably less in the majority Of the
places compared. In Boston one dollar
will buy $50 pounds of fresh beef. roast
piece; ib no place in England will it
buy as much by pound or more, and in
Europe still less, Copenhagen being the
only place where it will buy more. But
ter in Europe averages a pound more to
the dollar than here, cheese less by more
than that except IN a few spots. As for
potatoes, they are cheaper here than in
England, and dearer than in Ireland or
Germany. Seven or eight pounds of
pork for dollar are sold here, and not
much over half az much can be obtained
for that sum in Europe or England, and
nowhere as much. In rice, milk, and
eggs, they have the advantage of us.
Tea costs less here than in England. but
more than on the Continent. With cof-
fee it is about the same, though the diff
ference is little. In sugar the British
are little better of, eontinentals a
great deal worse. Coal is cheaper here
than in Germany, and dearer than in
England, Merrimac or common prints
are cheaper here than in England or
Europe. Boots are about the same here
as there, generally speaking. There are
but two or three places in England or
the Continent where brown sheetings
are cheaper than here, while in brown
shirtinRs the foreigners are better off,
Rent for four-roomed tenements is from
two to four times cheaper in Great Bri-
tain and the Continent than in Boston;
in Australia fifteen times cheaper. Board
also is from once and half TO twice as
cheap in Europe and in Great Britain a.
in Boston.

BrOtherly Kindnesf in Bees.

A lady in Providence relates the fol-
lowing story: Her father once brought
home a molasses hogshead, to be used
as a water-tank. On washing day her
mother said: Let us throw the snds into
it, to soak the molasses from the bottom"
The instant she had done so, she ex-
claimed, 80! | have drowned hundreds
of our neigh bors' bees.
The hogshead was black with bees,
that were busily appropriating the sweets
from what they must have considered an
enormous blossom. The COOL lady made
haste with her skinner to skim the bees
from the top of the water, and spread
them on a board in the sunshine; but they
seemed drowned and nearly dead; and
she was very sorry.
All the bees that were around the
hogshead had flown away at the dash ol
the water, but in a few minutes they re-
turned, accompanied by scores of Others
Then began a curious work They i'm.
mediately went to work upon the unfor
tunate bees. turn ng them over and oveI
and working upon them constantly with
their heads, feet and antenne. The re-
suit of their labor was, that one aftel
another gave signs of life, stretched its
limbs and wings, crawled about ard dric

Utilizing the Surplus Corn Crop.

It is estimated that the corn crop in
the United States reaches total of more
than five hundred million bushels. The
statistics of annual consumption and of
exports leave third Of this crop unac-
counted for. This leads the Journal of
the Society of Fine Arts to make some
suggestions in regard to utilizing the
surplus:
The envelopes of the grain crop (the
sheathing leaves enclosing the head of
cornl are largely used for packing
oranges and cigars, and for stuffing mat
tresses. In New South Wales very good
mats are made of it. Paper and fabrics
have also been made of these leaves ex-
tensively in Austria, and the yield for
these is thirty per cent. of fibre, ten of
gluten and sixty of dough of nuiritive
character. Other useful products than
the grain and its leafy covering have
been obtained from the maize; sugar
and molasses have been procured from
the stalk. A bushel of corn gives a pint
of oil, which is easily purified, and
burns with clear bright fame. At n
distillery in the vicinity Of Lake Ontario
oil is extracted at the rate of sixteen
gallons from one hundred bushels of
Indian corn, leaving the remaining por
tiOn of the corn more valuable and in
better condition for distillation than be-
fore the oil was extracted. The extract
obtained from Indian corn, properly
prepared, registers on the saccharometer
about the same as good malt, and for
this reason has found more favor than
many other cereals; but, although this is
the case, from the fact that the extract
is not pure saccharine one as procured
from malt, 1t is unavailable in brewing
to larger extent than from 80 to 40 per
cent, and even not to this extent in
summer time. Tne cob on which the
seed or grain is ranged is used for vari-
Gus purposes. 1t forms ready stopper
for bottles. Ground into meal, it has in
some instances been made into brea d
farina has been obtained from it, and il
is an excellent food for dairy cows.

What the Public Loves.

The public loves the cheerful adver-
tiser. The public wants sympathy and
assistance. Almost everybody is IN
trouble, and is looking for friendship.
Goldsmith got of n very severe sarcasm
on society when he made his hermit say,
"Man wants but little here below" etc
There il another hermit who takes
different position. Our wants are legion
and people turn to the newspaper TO find
relief Who is the friend TO whom the
public so readily applies? IL is the
cheerful adveriiser-the man who opens
his heart in paragraph, and welcomes
to all that his talents and capital can
furnish. Who sells at the cheapest rate?
Who has the latest patterns? Who has
new book to sell =? Who has invented
another Yankee notion? Who can cor
rect our failing health? etc. Tho reply
is found in the cheerful advertiser. The
man, while relieving human misery,
will like other philanthropists, become
happy, and he will find that his efforts
will bring greenbaeks as well as graft
tude. Such are the men Of noble des-
tiny whose success has been 50 often
noticed.
