THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Presi6eny aoberts, Of the Pennsylvsnis, Takes
Hopeful View.
PHILADELPHIA. April 22-In an inter-
view to-day President Roberts. Of the Penn

business outlook for this year. saying.
among other things
The prospect for this year is moderately fair.
II will, however. TO a large extent depend on
how far the financial disturbances OF the coun-
try are going to effect commercial activities.
Ihe ruinous results that came 10 nearly all the
large transportation interests OF the country on
account OF the extremely low rates that pre-
vailed ia 1892 and still continue in
the early months or 1893, have clearly
demonstrated the fact that there is .
point to which competition can be carried
which is neither beneficial 10 the public nor 70
the corporations. which most naturally results in
reduced dividends IL not in more serious results.
AT the present time the railroad interests all
making strenuous efforts TO secure better rates
for the present year, which certainly can be
done without in any way seriously interfering
with tho mining manufacturing Industries OF
this country. The extremely low rates that pre-
vailed on the lake-and-ratl traffic last Year,

duced less net revenue 10 the transportation

the facts Considerably. Many OF
the b:acksmiths. coolies or bur
den bearers, basket and bam-
boo workers, and others would
also most likely fall into the same
category. Carpenters working by the
day get about fifteen cents per day and
clothe and feed themselves, but take
the risk, of course, of lost time. Other
''journeymen" work, SO far as know,
does not vary much from this figure
carpenters, masons, bricklayers, etc.
being about the same. Almost any of
these, however, would doubtless be
glad to get work at 81 a month gross.
But the difference in wages does not
give a correct idea of the difference in
cost of doing work. The Chinaman
goes at leisurely gait. Carpenters
will come late in the morning, perhaps
9o'clock, and as prelude to work take
long smoke and chat while sitting
on the timbers or stones of the un-
finished building. Twelve or o clock
brings the dinner hour, followed by
another smoke, and at or o'clock
they bundle up the tools. Chinese con-
tractors submit to this. 1t seems to be
custom, and custom is law with them.
Those who work By the month, how
ever, keep longer hours, and many who
work for themselves are steadily at
work from early morning till dark.
The wage-worker's condition is also
much alleviated by the high purchasing
power of money. Good rice can usually
be had for one and half cents pound
1t forms the body of the diet in sea-
board China. Beans, green's, wheat
fiour-mainly used in the shape OF
noodles-a little vegetable oil and still
less meat are lubricators for the rice.
Life is thus possible to the average
member of the masses.
But there are Chinese who say our
condition is only a transitory stage to
state like their own.-Kansas City

Difference of Opinion Between the Fat and
the Thin Man.

AAAcAoAcc o1 OPinlon between the at ana
! the Thin Man.
"Whew" said the fat man, as he
mopped the pcrspiration from his brow
and crowded the thin man against the
side of the seat of the open car NO
one suffers like fat man in this
weather"
/ ''Indeed?" remarked the thin man
sarcastically, as he tried to get little
more room.
Yes continued the fat man. 1--WE
have more troubles than any one in the
summer time. l haven't had a COM
Portable moment to-day"
"You haven't?''
No, | haven't Do you think look
comforta Die now?"
"No, don't; but possibly you think
am comfortable. A fat man always
thinks he has the worst of it. but he
isn't in it with thin man Do you
suppose If you had got this seat first
any one would have come along and
squatted down beside you and crowded
you up against the rail? No, sir You'd
nave spread your anatomy over it and
held the whole seat until you got off.
But 1t S different with thin man. He
walks three or four blocks SO as to be
sure to get a good seat and gets it. A
lat man drops into the seat behind him
and medium sized man into the one
in front Then along comes an
other big fellow-one of those fat
freaks who couldn't stand up without
blocking the aisle or even the plat
form. He looks along the car and spies
the thin man, and then he comes along
and plunks himself into the seat, and
the thin man is crushed up against the
side and heated by the great mass of
flesh, and he practically isn't in it
Hes IN luck if he doesn't have some
bones broken. Why don't you pick out
a man OF your own size some tinne?'
Look here, sir, you're getting per-
sonal. Do you mean to say that fat
man has no rights ON carp
No, sir. He has too alfred many
for the price he pays. They ought to
have scales on every street corner and
charge for avoirdupois Then a thin
man would have some chance"
The fat man was breathing so hard
that every breath made the thin man
groan as he was squeezed against the I
side OF the seat, but the latter was
game. Finally the fat man blurted /;
out: I'm bigger man than you are,
but have half mind to punch your
head
That's all right" retorted the thin /
man. I'm a smaller man than vou are.
but I'm quicker, and you'd never hit I
me but once"

IN THE GOOD OLD TIMES.
When an Establishment with Thirty-Six

When an Establishment with Thirty.Six
| Servants Cost $500 n Year.
The following extracts from an an
cient account book give an idea of the
style of living in Paris, at the end of
the 18th century:
The household of grand seigneur,
Gays the Boston Globe, consisted of an
intendent, an almoner, a secretary, an
ecuyer. two Wallets, a janitor, steward,
an officer of the buffers pantry, q
cook, buffers pantryman, two kitch-
en- attendants, kitchen maid, two
pages, six or four lackeys, two coach
men, two positions, two carriage at
tendants, four stable boys, Swiss
or porter, an intendent's valet, an al
moner's valet, secretary's valet, an
ecuyer's valet, and stewards valet.
The almoner's salary was $40, the
ecuyer's $50, the stewards 500, the
cooks $50 and SO on, the entire ex-
penditure in wages of SO persons for
one year amounting to s802.
The entire expenditure In food,
drink. fuel and light of Sc persons for
one year amounted to 81, ,907.50.
The grand seigneurs table, served for
10 persons twice a day, and kitchen,
laundry, fuel and light, cost in all, per
year, $2,376.15.
The grand seigneur had IA horses for
his carriages, and 16 saddle horses, and
their entire cost in food and treatment
was, per year, s2.117.
Thus the maintenance of a well-reg-
ulated household, comprising Sc serv-
ants and so horses, cost in Paris in /, ZOO,
at the most liberal estimate about
$500.
If the grand seigneur were married
the lady had at her service an ecuyer,
a maid, whose function was to do honor
to her and be her constant companion;
a chambermaid who combed and
dressed her hair, washed and ironed
her fine linen and repaired her laces; a
valet, who was man milliner; page,
a steward, a cook, q butler, a kitchen
maid, four lackeys, coachman, a pos
tilion, a coachman's boy, seven car
riage horses and four saddle horses.
If there were children there were .
governess, nurse, a preceptor, valet,
two lackeys, a servant for the nurse,
and the additional expenditure in
wages amounted to only S49S.
A gentleman who lived in an inn and
was content with one valet, two lack
eys and hired coach, if he lived lux
uriously, spent So64 year.
