HOW PEOPLE USED TO LIVE.
Wages and the Cost of living In Thu
Country 100 Years Ago.

Wages and the Cost of living In This
Country 100 Years Ago.
The department of agriculture is
about to publish an interesting report,
comparing the cost of living early in
this century with what it is now. 1t
exhibits wildly the contrast between
the poverty of primitive agriculture and
the progress in civilization and wealth
resulting from high development of all
the possibilities of land and labor in
rural and industrial arts and in
dustries. The small wages paid in those
days are as surprising as the low prices
of commodities of all sorts.
Game was abundant early in the CEN
fury ard therefore cheap. Venison
cost Only 81 cents pound. Bear meat
was very slightly higher. Pigeons were
in extraordinary abundance selling at
a little more than cent apiece. Elder
ly readers will remember the fight of
fiocks of pigeons which darkeded the
skies even as late as fifty years ago
Shad was very cheap, costing only 4
cents each Owing to the plentiful sup
ply of game tanned skins were low in
price. A deer skin fetched about SLIT
in price, while a bear skin was worth
from 81 to 81 Milk sold for 2 cents a
quart, and butte, for Is cents pound
Apples were from 121S to % cents a
bushel, but by 1928 they had reached 80
cents
Farm wages were only about one
third of what they are now, ranging
from SO cents to fifty cents a day. From
g. to IS month was the usual compen-
sation of well-grown lads One hun
bred years ago the remuneration of q
boy for doing Chores" such as cutting
wood and foddering horses, for one
year, was ordinarily IS. The use of a
pair of oxen for a day cost 25 cents,
while the use of a cow for one year cost
IS. 1t cost 90 cents to make a pair of
shoes The price of pair of mecca
sins was 81 cents. Board was only 81 a
week
That was the day of individual and
isolated effort, aantedating the era of
aggregation in factories, classification
and division of labor and invention OF
labor-saving processes and appliances.
Prices of farm products f1uctuated
greatly, according to local scarcity,
which could not be mitigated by distri-
button from regions of plenty. If there
were big crops they could not be sold;
IL partial failures there was almost
nothing to sell Every locality, in its
industries and products, existed for and
by itself, having no relation with other
communities; therefore the surplus pro-
duction of each farm was small. the
inducement to produce being wanting,
and there was very little money to pur-
chase anything more than the bare
necessaries. The Industrious family
had an abundance of everything it
could grow, such clothing as the loom
of the household could produce, such
furniture as could be made on the place
or in the neighborhood, and little else

a PIECE OF ADVICE.
The Man with the Cough Didn't Wait ia

The Man with the Cough Didn't Wait to
Hear the Kicker's story.
In our sleeper was an old man who
was going to Buffalo. He looked fee.
BILE and i'll. and he had bad cough
About the time we were ready to go to
sleep his cough grew worse, and after
bit one man in particular began 10
kick He called to the conductor and
the porter and made more fuss than
the man with the cough. He got up
and went to bed again, and got up a
second time, and il was two o'clock in
the morning before anv of us got any
sleep. When we turned out in the
morning the kicker was still kicking.
"Lools here. porter" he said to that
official, ''has that old chap with the
cough got off YETI"
"No, sah.'
"Where is hep"
"Ober dar. sab. He hain't dun got up
yit"
"Well. when he does I want to give
him piece of advice"
Eyes. sab.
Fifteen minutes later. as the kicker
was on his way to the dining car, he
stopped at the old mans berth and said:
"Come. old man, it's time to get UP
and coughr'
| Receiving no answer, he parted the
curtains and looked in, and next in
slant fell into a seat across the aisle.
We went to see what was the matter
and found the old man dead and cold,
with his hands locked across his bre st.
He had been dead for two or three
hours
Have you any advice to offer him?''
one of the men queried of the kicker,
who sat pale and trembling.
At that moment the train came to a
halt at a station. and the kicker grabbed
for his grip and disappeared from the
train without word in reply.-St.

How a Suspicious Man Was Cured of HI
Worst Habit.
He was a suspicious man. and hi
grocer knew it. He always glance,
/ sharply at the scales when his grocerie
were being weighed, and always car
ried home his own purchases ar,
urdav evening he brought home al
armful of bundles, and proceeded a
usual to put them in turn upon hi
kitchen scales. Pretty soon he SAID T.
his wife:
There! l told you we were beini
che ated! Systematically cheated!
ordered one pound of tea, and here
only three-quarters; and l bought fv'
pounds of brown sugar, as you told me
aud here are only four pounds"
"Are rou sure? Maybe the scale
are wrong. or something"
Yes, that's what you always say
/ Don't l know a pound when / see it
1 And the scales are all right. They'r
the same kind as they use at the store
We're being cheated, that's all"
Maybe there was some unintention
al mistake on the part of somebody,
gently suggested the mans wife.
Mistake nothingl The store wa
full of people, and in the hurry tn
grocer thought he could cheat littl
and no one would notice it But II
show him he can't cheat ner'
But how will you prove to him tina
he eheated?'
"Provel Why, I'll show him tn
bundles and compare them with tn
order in our book. See? One poun,
tea. Five pounds brown sugar"
But what if he says he put up, thos'
amounts. and there must be mistake
somewhere else?"
Mistake! Can't be any. If he say
so I'll tell him he lies. and have the Law
on him"
just then there was knock at tn
door, and the mans wife opened it to
near neighbor who had two package
in his hand
Peg pardon" he said. "but thinl
you got some of my bundles tonight
