Average Cost of Living.

How many persons have even a
rough idea of the average sum upon
which by far the larger part Of the
citizens of the United States are fed,
clothed and housed? Arecent statis-
tician estimates that eighty per cent.
of the population of this country is
supported by from forty-fve to fifty
cents per capita day. At the lat
ter figure this makes $164.25 as the
average annual cost of living; but as
by average we mean the balance be-
tween extremes, there must be many
persons who have not even this sum
to live upon. That fifty cents a day
is a generous estimate will be admit
ted when it is admitted that many
mill operatives earn only from s. to
81 per week, and that the wages Of
farm hands run from $40 to $50 q
month, and that on these sums sew
eral persons are often supported.
When it is rememembered, too, that
some other human beings have q
yearly income equal to what is neces
sary for the subsistence of five hun
dred or a thousand of these average
mortals, the startling contrast be-
tween the extremes of our modern
society must be most evident.-Phil.

And she was counted n notable woman that a
good pecrust could raise
who could make a luscious cordial. and who
studied seasonngs and ragouts
mt the Young ladies' who manage the world
TO day have very different views.

there are servants TO bake and TO fry;
Thai cord ais can now he bought in the stores
and doctors don't recommend pie:
THAT she knows better than waste her time
dstling sweet waters and pomade,
when there 3 BARRIERS aud perfumers glad
enough to follow the job for II trade"
And she plays Chopin and Beethoven; has a
notion of Latin and Greek
And German, French and Italian, she saws
every girl ought to speak.
She is writing drama now: and she's written
half It dozen romunces;
And She Il think IL TOO shOckingy slow moi
to know all the new games and dances.

Never was housekeeping much better man

And fathers, instead Of admonlshing girls
