Immense Lumber Fire in Chicago,

A spark from passing locomotive engine
set fire in the heart of the great pine lumber
yard district, which lies along both sides of the
south branch of the Chicago river, and near
the southwestern city limits. Bordering upon
this district are q wooden built portion of
the city, known ae Bridgeport, and the
wooden shede and pens filed with cattle, hoga
and sheep. A fierce wind was blowing from
the west and the flames spread with great rap
idity. Great brands were carried forward by
the wind setting fire to new piles, and sew
eral fire steamers and the men manning them
had narrow escapes from destruction. Start
ing upon the west side of the river, the
flames ate up all the lumber between Thirty
fifth and Thirty eighth streets, an area of about
400 by 2, 0OO feet. 1t set fire to a canal boat
moored at the dock, and it foated across the
river, which is $50 feet wide at this point, and
set fire to the lumber on the east bank, which
covered about an equal area and this, with one
or two planning mills, was consumed The az

Average Annual Cost of Living.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin

From the Phlladelphla Bulletin.
How many persons have even 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 statistician estimates
that 80 per cent. of the population of
this country is supported by from IS to
so cents per capita day. At the lat
Ter figure this makes 1854. 25 as the
average annual cost of living; but, as by
average We mean the balance between
extremes, there must be many persons
who have not even this sum to live ND
on. That 80 cents a day is generous
estimate will be admitted when it Is re-
membered that many mill operatives
earn only from IS to 81 u week, and that
the wages Of farm hands run from $40
to $50 . month, and that on these sums
several persons are often supported.
When it is remembered, too, that some
other human beings have yearly in
come equal to what is necessary for the
subsistence Of 500 or 1000 of these
average" mortals, the startling con-
trast between the extremes of our mod
err society must be most evident.
