LrrING or sI Re WrEK.-

reporter on the Boston Herald has
just tried successfully the bill of
fare prescribed by Mr.. Edward At
k:nson for q man who wishes to live
on 81 per week. Cooking was done
on an oil stove aud the fuel was an
item of the weeks expenses. The
newspaper man announces that a
person can live comfortably on the
best food in the market, dainties
excepted, for less than 81 q week.
lie found the average cost per day
1856 cents. Counting the cost of
oil, the food for seven days cost
1890 cents. During the week he
had lamb, beef, pork, macaroni,
apple sauce, cranberry sadce, grapes,
bread and butter, and coffee with
sugar in it. 1t will be remembered
by many farmers OF the South that
the weekly allowance to a hardy
field hand under contracts made
directly after the war closed was
four pounds of bacon and a peck of
meal each week. AS firewood cost
nothing this allowance of meal and
meat made up the total food ex-
pense account of great many farm
laborers. At the present price of
provisions such an allowance of
meal and meat would not exceed 60
cents. The meat need not be bacon,
as other meats are quite as cheap, il
not lower, than bacon. The bread
need not be of cornmeal, as suifi-
cient flour for a week can be had
for something less than so cents.
For many people to live quite as
well as they were raised would now
cost in Texas very little, if any more
than 81 per week, yet some of these
very people find it difficult to pull
through on so, $50 or $50 per
week. From this We see that ones
extravaganza does not depend solely
upon the way he, has been raised.
This is especially the case with the
unfortunate who considers ever
swelling rivers of cheap circulating
medium and very increasingly high
prices the only means of prosperity
and happiness. These prefer to
expend $50 week like the Rich
mon5, Va, reporter alluded to by
the New York Sun, whose weekly
bill ran as follows: milk, at S. a
quart, s35; bread, at 50 loaf, S14;
one peck of meal, 81; one quarter
pound bacon, 81; one quart of beans,
So; fuel, S5-total, $50 in confed-
crate currency" The $50 in con-
federate money was worth just 81
in gold and the only imaginable
difference in favor of the abundant
money was that the Richmond man
had the pleasure of handling a much
more pretentious bulk or wad of
stuff. So it would be with any ex-
ceedingly FLEXIBLE" light very
abundant thick as Kansas grass
hoppers,' stay at home currency.
With it would come high prices
of kind. Its value would at last
be measured by the gold dollar and
the price of living would be meas
ured in the same way. Applying
this measure, living is certainly as
reasonable in this country as any
intelligent, economical, fair minded
person could expect 1t to be.-Dal-
las News, Texas.

How It Happened /;


9orsas and the whiskers.
Last night the heavens scowled,
And Boreas prowled;
And howled,
where are they? Tell me quickly, / com.

Refuse me and my vengeance is at handr'
He gave long ungentlemanly roar;
Then prowled,
And bowled
Some more.
Within the Senate walls, well screened
from sight,
Crouched PETER, Trembling in his wretched
plight
His buoyant whiskers would he clutch and
hold,
Like tn a miser covering DER his gold:
He moaned: "The courage / can never
find
To trust these whiskers to that awful
wind"
And Boreas, disappointed as could be,
Threw down lamp post and pulled up a
tree.

When the county seat was located
at Worthington, the railroad company
gave block to the village for court
house purposes, and when it ceases to
be used for such it is to revert back to
the railroad company. This block of
ground is now worth, at fair es
innate, $4,000 Under these circum-
stances, would it not be money for the
railway company to change the loca-
tion of the county seat, and doesn't it
look probable that John King, of the
Adrian Democrat, is working for said
company and that he will get big
Doodle in case the county capitol is
changed to Adrian ? King is not the
man to throw basket of money over
his head, and would even cut his
bosom friends throat to get it. Now,
Johnny, dear, don't get hot under the
collar and froth at the mouth, for, if
you are depending on change in the

Every sorry" said the clerk humb,y.
II met with a serious fall"
Indeed replied the merchant, relent-

Principally, sir. in your estimation"
answered the clerk resi- ectfully.
"Oh, never mind that" said the mer
chant kindly. Il am very sorry and had
no intention to be savere. We are all
liable to accidents. How did you get the
fall?'
"Well, you see, sir" said the clerk
con6dingly, Il was called quite early
this morning-earlier, in fact. than
usual"
"Ah.'
Yes, sir; but somehow or other | fell
asleep again"
"Go to your desk, sir, and don't try

that he enjoyed the joke.-New York

Lightning's Strange Selection.

Probably one of the most remarkable
lightning accidents of the period was
that which took place in one Of the east
ern counties lately. A man was shear
ing a sheep. Another man, passing on a
pony, stopped to exchange a few words
with the shearer and watch the clipping
operation for q minute or two. He had
been standing there but a very short
time when a sharp crack of thunder was
preceded by binding fash of lightning.
The shearer was startled almost out of
his senses by seeing the pony and it's
rider suddenly collapse in a heap. but in
. second the man was up, quite unhurt.
Then the shepherd, happening to glance
at the animal beneath him, found that
the lightning had served it as it had
served the pony. The sheep was stone
dead! This, it may be as well to state,
is a perfectly true story.-London Tit
Bits.

Rub:Estein and the Deadhead.

Nub:nstein and the Deadhead
Those whose mission in life it is to en-.
terrain the public are always pestered
by friends and acquaintance for free
seats at their entertainments. There
probably never was a singer or an actor
or q pianist who was not bored nearly to
death by these people, many Of whom
had not the slightest claim to ssk the
courtesy they demanded.
A pianist who was pr~e-eminently sue
cessful in his day, and that day was net
far back either, was Rubinstein, who
travelled nearly the whole world over de-
lighting people with his genius. He.
like all others, was very much annoyed
by requests for complimentary tickets,
but most Of the time he maintained his
composure, even though justly irritated.
1t is told of him that just before one Of
his recitals in London he was accosted
by an old lady in the entrance hall and
thus addressed:
"Oh, Mr.. Rubinstein, / am so glad to
see you! | have tried in vain to pur-
chase a ticket. Have you a seat you
could let me have::'
Madam" said the great pianist.
there is but n seat at my disposal.
and that you are welcomed to if you think
fit to take it,"
"Oh, yes. and a thousand thanks!
Where is it" was the excited reply.
