times would at once ensue and the Ia
borers, artisans and salary-receiving

quested to read this from the New York
Times OF January Z, 1881:
at is the habit of many householders
of q provident. economical turn of mind
to look over and cast mp. about this
time their accounts for the year just
closed. Some who have already done
80 are unpleasantly surprised to find that
their expenses have materially increased
over those Of the previous year, although
then have not perceptiblv altered their
mode OF living. Families
who we're enabled to live during 1878
on % 900, "a. 600 or e5. 900. needed an
increase of from $1,000 to $1,000 10
1880. and for substantially the came
things. No doubt the improved busi-
ness and prospects Of the country, es-
pecislly the sense Of widespread pros-
perity since the ciginlng vi 1879, have
gradually put up prices OF goods every
sort. The trouble 10 that
while business generally is SO thriving
while so much money Is making and
has been made throughout the land
the profit and prosperity ore con.
fined to comparatively very few. The
hulk Of people have not been materially
hene6ted by the change. =

~ Our genial shoe dealer, Jake
Theis, has been afflicted for a week psst
with an extremely large and exceeding.
ly painful boil. As is gene,a ally the case
with hollis, this one made it's appearance
on that portion OF Jake's ANATOMY,
where he could least afford to have it,
as it sadly interfered not only with his
locumotion, but necessi ated his taking
his meals from the mantle in q standing
position. After trying everything usu-
ally tried in such cases without gaming
any relief, as last resort he warmed q
large mou,hed bottle and clapped it
over The boil. Great temima, howit did
draw had the hottie been large enough
it would have doubled him up and drawn
him through the neck. Jake swore and
touched" in seven different languages,
hut the boil, roots and all, was drawn
completely out, and TODAY he walks the
street boiless man. We mention the
circumstance so that thnse similarly az
flicted can enjoy little fun, and know
