THg COST OF LIVING.


Bradstroet's.l
Whoever will point the way to a TO
duction of the average cost of living,
especially the average cost of food, will
confer upon mankind a boon of the first
Importance. There can DO no question
that at present there is a considerable
amount of waste which might be pre-
vented In the consumption Of oven the
most necessary foods. How shall we
discover the direction in which this
waste goes on and how to provide fol
its ~Ireventioni Here Is "A problem
worthy Of the scientist, the economist
and the philanthropist. The way to a
fruitful investigation OF the problem
has been pointed out by that unweary-
ing student of economics, Mr.. Edward
Atkinson, in a recently published ad.
dress on tho application Of sci
enoe to tho production and con.
sumption of food.
At best the margin upon which the
average man has TO depend to procure
his food, clothing and shelter is a mar
row one; Mr.. Atkinson places it from
40 to 40 cents a day. In what way can
the revelations OF science help man,
especially the laboring man, to live
within this average incomei In the
first place man must be taught to
satisfy his appetite and keep up his
strength with cheaper though sufficiently
nutritious forms OF food than those now
IN common use. A knowledge of the
chemistry of food must be difused so
that the average man can himself IN
dertake the task of selection.
Ibis, however, is only one side of the
problem. The area Of profitable agri-
cultural cultivation must be extended.
Lands now unproductive and barren
must be reclaimed. The land must be
fertili ed. The chemistry OF agriculture
must be mastered and its results APP
piled. Means for attracting and COM
bining the necessary elements of f~ertiliza
ton from the soil and atmosphere must
be discovered and employed. who
ever, " says Mr.. Atkinson, can attract
the nitrogen of the atmosphere and
combine it with potash of Germany and
phosphates of South Carolina or Canada
will add the last element necessary 10
secure permanent abundance in agricul.
ture at the least cost"

IT ia reported that the followers Of the
late False Prophet of the Soudan are
threatening a formidable raid into Lower
Egypt. Ii the rumors that have at va
rious times come from the Soudan. hat
.he rebel and fanatical Arabs are las
numerous IA the sands of the seashore, -
aud we'll armed, it would seem that, by
massing their forces under good general
ship, they could. under present circum-
stances, capture all of Egypt, including
the cities Of Cairo and Alexandra; but,
even in that event, the ability to hold
their ground permanently against the
British and the Turk would be quite
another matter.

fidelity, and the honor and respect which
he everywhere paid to his noble wife,
were proverbial, and she was his closest
