How Cheaply One Can Live.

How CheapIy One Can Live.
From the American Miller.
Bread, after all. is the cheapest diet one can
live on, and also the best. A story is told that
shows just how cheap man can live, when he
gets down to mush," figurativeiy and literally
speaking. Col. Ftzgibbon was many wears ago.
colonial agent at London for the Canadian gov
eminent, and was wholly dependent upon re-
mittances from Canada for his support. On one
occasion these remittances failed to arrive and
as there was no cable in those DAYS he was
compelled to write to his Canadian friends to
know the reason OF the delay. Meanwhile he
had just one sovereign to live upon. He found
that he could live upon sixpence per day, or
about 1215 cents of our money-fOur penny
worths OF bread, one pennyworth Of milk. and
one pennyworth Of sugar. He made pudding of
some OF the bread and sugar, which served for
breakfast. dinner and supper, the milk being
reserved for the last meal. When his remit
tances arrived about month afterward. he had
five slillings remaining Of his sovereign. and he
liked his frugal diet SO well that he kept II mn
for over two years. possibly longer. Twelve
cents day Is certainly = small amount to ex-
pend for food; but q man In Minnesota. about
three years ago, worried through whole year
on ten dollars. He lived on "Johnny cake's

the Injuries; and It is with the major mart Of
mankind az it was with the Frenchman who
said that If he had the Injuries Of life. he could
dispense with the necessities. Mere living is
cheap, but as the hymnolosist SAYS, .It ia not

A Scarcity Of Corn CObs.

''There is a corner in corn cobs somewhere, 81
said a wholesale dealer in pipes, 'for the de-
mands Of manufacturers OF corn-cob pipes can
not be met, even at advanced prices. There has
never been such a scarcity in the supply. The
pipes, too, seem to be in greater demand than
ever. Many men won't smoke any other kind.
l know one rich society man who would be in
disgrace if he was seen in public with a corn-cob
pipe in his mouth, but who keeps his pipe in his
bedroom. and has quiet smoke before he goes
to bed. The man who invented the process of
hardening corn cob has become independently
rich. Some cob pipes are costly because of the
silver mountings. but the pipe that sells for five
cents is the most popular. Smokers say that a
corn-cOb pipe is sweeter than any other. South
ern negroes, who know what is good. from q
hoecake to a possum, wouldn't give a cob pipe
for the finest meerschanm, if they couldn't get
another. / suppose the short corn crop has had
something to do with the scarcity. The cobs of
a poor crop are not lit to make pipes out Of"

Deterioration Of the Eye.

BY the law OF development man progresses to
physical perfection. But by the accidents of
civilization the eye, which is the light of the
whole body, Is in imminent danger of deteriora-
ton, and after being evolved by the brute, it is
being ruined by man. Already the increase Of
shortsigbtedness and color-blindness is attract
ing considerable attention. and even when these
defects are not present the eye Of civilization is
much inferior to that of many birds and beasts
and savages. Not to speak Of the cats ability
to see in the dark, what eye can compare for
range with that or the condor Of the Andes OF
for keenness with that of the Indian on the
trail OF his enemy Mr.. Brudenell Carter. whose
address at the Health Congress at Brighton is
one of the most interesting and suggestive Of re-

upon the Importance Of checking this gradual
deterioration of the organ of vision. School
boards. he says, shond educate the eye as well
as the tongue, volunteers should institute tests
OF distant vision, and trade unions should strike
against every employer whose factory is badly
lighted. Even the most shoFt-sighted people

New Years Day in New York.

Shortly after noon host Of district TELEGRAPH,
boys spread over the city and rang door bells, or
placed cards in boxes They were the proxies
of gentlemen who did not make New Years calls
| in person. The postman delivered great numbers
OF small envelopes containing cards. Private
dwellings, all over the city burst out into the
Towering of baskets. A stroll down any Of the
brownstone blocks showed that New Years calls
had fallen into disrepute. Two houses out of
every three had basket on the door bell or
attached to the knobs. There were baskets at
Mr.. VIM. II. Vanderbilt's and Mrs A. T. Stewart 8
and a fancy vase stood in the vestibule of Mrs.
AstOrs residence. In many instances every
| house in block had a basket out. The baskets
were OF ali shape and sizes; some with lids and
some without. Most Of them We're tied with
bright blue ribbons though othercolOrs were not
wanting. When tied with black ribbons. as was
done in some instances, it was plain why the
family did not receive. There were indications
about many of the houses where baskets were
displayed, that the inmates were out of the city.
An unusual number Of fashionable people went
out Of the city Saturday. to pass the two holi-
days at residences in the country. The card
writer's had a busy time yesterday. Those of
them that had desks in any Of the big hotels
were kept at work from noon till late into the

In the Fifth Avenue Hotel was surrounded all
day by well dressed men with tall hats Several
young ladies sent to him asking that he should
write the names of twenty-five yonng men upon
different kinds of cards, and send the lot to
them. He wrote the names, putting in colonel,
a general and an MD.
