FAMILY EXPENSES.

New York Herald.

( After religion and politics, there
is nothing about which intelligent
people differ,so radically as what
they call the cost of living. A skiIl
ed man in some department of busis
ness will earn several thousand doll
lars a year, spend nothing on wine,
women or horses, yet always be ia
debt. Some acquaintance Of bis,
with similar salary and larger fam
lily, lives comfortably sends bis boys
to college, drives good horse and
has a snug little bank account
There are mechanics earning two
dollars day who comfortably feed
and clothe family of half dozen
people, while some of their fellow
work men, married, but without chill
dren, live meanly, wear shabby
clothes on Sundays, and are occas~
ioually elected from their houses for
nom payment of rent, The princi'
pal cause of the difference may al
most always be found in the family
larder and the family wardrobe.
Americans, whether rich or poor,
know but little more about economy
in food than an equal number of say
ages. Some families must breakfast
either on beef steak or mutton
chops others will serve just as
much meat and make it just as pal
atabIe at a quarter of the expense of
choice cuts, because they know how
to cook. Temperament has much
influence on the larder. Excitable
people will eat twice as much with
out satisfying their hunger as those
Of better physical balance, yet they
will no do more work. Some wives
will save the price Of ton of coal by
remaking for one Of the children en-
old dress, or suit of clothes; como
others, seeming to be destitute eth
err of tact, skill or inclination, must
buy everything new or 60 without
Economy is science which quite
numbe of men and women have
mastered by close observation and
dilligeut practice others do NOT
seem to know of its existence. A
few days ago couple of ladies' who
had been reftting their parlors COM
pared notes. One had spent just
$3.50 and the other nearly 81 800,
and the cheaper parlOr was the pret~
tier. 1t takes longer to learn econ
omy than to learn a trade, but
when learned, it is the most coasol-
ing science in existence, no matter
how much or how little money it's
devotee may have.

TAKING DOGS.

Why should not dogs be taxed
Are they not property Have they
not money value 7 Many dogs
are valued at from $50 to $1,000.
Why should man be permitted to
lock up against the law, 1000 in a
dog, and the law tax his neighbours
house of the same value 7 Is there
justice or sense in such a proceed
ing? By no means. If old Sol, the
coon hunter, or Bill Fox, the sport
wants to keep pack of dogs about
them all the time to the terror Of the
neigbborhood and the detriment of
sheep>raising farmers, let them pay
for the privilege, just as the neigh
bors pay for the privilege of riding
in carriage,or eating fat mutton.
The farmers ought to unite, and
swear that they will not vote for
any man for the legislature who will
not vote to tax dogs.

GLASS BURIAL CASES.

Henry H. Barry, of Philadelphia,
has for many years interested him
self in transparent systems of burial.
After conceiviDg the glass cssket he
kept it secret for long while, until,
on Oct. oath of last year, it was pat
ented
What is the advantage of glass
for domciles of the dead Y
In the first place, one has perfect
preservation. Before being placed
10 the vial the patient is embslmed
| may say that the coffin is devised
on the walnut she'll principal, in two
halves. After my customers are
once securely packed in collins APP
ply an exhaust pump, take ont all
the air and Dramatically seal up the
aperture. Then the thing is accom-
plished. | believe sincerely that the
whole business will last through sew
ersl generations. There is the ed
vantage that no infectious disease
can come through the glass The
flesh of the subject will preserve it's
natural tints, and relatives and
friends will be able to view the
deceased for years to come.
AS a sanitary reform it is unpar'
allelled,' be went on; 'tenanted cof'
Gos can be piled up like any other
merchandise anywhere and stay
there for years. Some people might
prefer to keep relatives in their own
houses, nicely put away 10 the glass
collins. There is nothing objectiona
BILE about the idea. When buried 10
cemeteries there will be no exhala
tions whatever, and in case of the
removal af graveyard the cofius can
be taken up and carted away with
no more offense than would be given
by 80 many kegs Of nails

The ideal home is a haven of rest
where the husband and wife both
have their own way 10 everything /;
where the children never cry /;
where the servants are models of
honesty and industry; where the
dinner is never late and is always
we'll cooked f; where there IS no per-
ceptible washing day where the
sweeping aud busting are done when
nobody knows it; where seIhshness
and bad temper are never known ;
in short & little Heaven upon earth,
inhabited by thoroughly angelic
mortals. Homes of this kind, con
structed upon scientific basis, and
served hot like steam through sub
terraneau pipes, would meet long
felt want Nearly every family
would subscribe for one.

He has turned up near st. Louis
this time. John Jacobs, a young
man of 20 years, seeing a young la
dy friend coming up the street,
thought it would be nice to brighten
her. He picked up an old shot gun
and putting on cap, buried back
to the door. He thought be would
snap the cap at her, and that the
sound OF it would make her jump.
He waited till she was in front of the
door, aud then pulled the trigger
Bang a little cloud of smoke, and
she fell dead at his feet. Jacobs
was, of course Mortified and went

and threats of lynching. The young
lady was IS years old, very pretty

A WONDERFUL FISH POND. =

A WONDERFUL FISH Pond
Travelling men tell an extraordinary
story of fish pond on the land of
Hon. Geo. w, Hurt, six miles from
Albany, Clinton county, Ky. The
pond covers three or four acres, and
was not known to contain fish until
a wear or two ago, when it was &C
cidentally discovered to be swarming
with catfish from four to eight inch
es long. They say that the fish are
80 numerous and so unsuspecting
that they can, be taken without the
use of hook and line You may tie a
piece of mutton or chicken to a
string. lower it into the water and
draw it out Immediately with sever
al fish clinging TO it. This may be
repeated as often as desired, and a
few minutes are sufficient TO secure
as many fish as you want. One
man, promoted by curiosity, stuck
his foyer down inc the water; 1t
WIS at once seized by fish which
he promptly drew up and took off ;
but the bite brought the blood from
his foyer, and he does not RECON-
mend this method of taking them.
Mr.. Charles NJ. Phillips, of Spurling-
ton, having some doubts as to the
truth of these stories wrote to Hon.
Geo. W. Hurt with regard to them
and received an answer 70 the eff
feet that they were substantially
true, Mr.. Hurt does not allow stran~
gers to fish in the pond. The fish
have been regularly fed since their
presence were discOvered.-Lebsn-
