COST or MODERN LIVING.
A Serious Problem for the Majority of

 Families.
 From Scrlbnel's Magaznel
 The most interesting and serious pro- blem which confronts human society to-day is the annihilation or lessenine of terrible existing inequalities in es- tate and welfare. This problem, ab- sorbing as it is, can scarcely be solved in our time. But, whatever the solu- tion, whether by Socialism, government control of brotherly love, is it not safe | to assume that when every one shares alike, society is not going to be satis- fled with humble, paltry or ugly condi- tions as the universal veal? If the new | dispensation does not provide style and manner of living at least equal in | comfort, luxury and refinement to that which exists among the well-to-do to- | day, it will be failure. Humanity will never consent to be shut off from the best in order to be exempt from the worst. The millennium must supply not merely bread and butter, a house, q pig, COW, and a sewing machine for every one, but attractive homes, gar- dens and galleries, literature and mu- sic, and all the range of aesthetic so- cial adjuncts which tend to promote healthy bodies, delightful manners, fine sensibilities and noble purposes, or it will be no millennium.
 Five thousand dollars in a country town is affiuence, if the beneficiary is content to stay there; but in a city the family man with only that income, pro- vided he is ambitious, can only just live and might fairly be described as the cousin german to a mendicant, And yet there are some worthy citizens still, who doubtless would be aghast at these statements, and would wish to. know how one would spend five thou sand dollars year without extrava- gance.
 There are so many things which one has to have nowadays in order to be comfortable that it seems almost inn prevalent to Inquire how much one ought to save before facing the ques- tion of what one can possibly be with out. Here the people, who are said to have too much for their own good have an advantage over the rest of us. The future of their children is secure. If they dread death 1t is not because they fear to leave their wives and children unprovided for. Many of them go on saving just the same and talk poor if a railroad lowers it's dividend or there is not ready market for their real estate at an exalted profit. Are there more irritating men or women in the world than the over-conservative persons of large means who are perpetually harp ing on saving and worrying lest they | may not be able to put by for a rainy | day, as they call it, twenty-five per cent. or more of their annual income? | The capitalist, careworn by solicitude | of this sort, is the one fool in creation who is not entitled to some morsel of | pity

PROWISlNG IgORK.

| Rev. William Rogers is a London cler- | gyman who has hit upon very prom.
 ising plan for helping young men. He
 works among the young men employed
 as salesmen in the great retail estab- nshments of that city. He organizes
 these into classes in which they are taught various things that will add to
 their value to their employers. He
 takes it for granted that they will learn the routine of business from the
 business itself, and consequently se- lects studies that have a specific rela- tion to trade. Elocution is taught on the supposition that the cultivation of the voice and the ability to express ones thought clearly and concisely will be a great advantage to a sales- languages; and commercial conversa- tions, as if between buyer and seller, are held in some foreign tongue. There are mock auctions at which every stu dent is expected to bid for or to offer something for sale. Short hand and rough sketching are taught, the latter that 1t may aid the salesman in de- scribing an article. Combinations, col ors, textiles and designs are also dealt with in this class as far as they appeal to the respective trades of the students, Trade lectures are also given, and are supplemented when possible by practi- cal work where the student Is taught to microscopically examine, analyze or produce the finished article he is deal ing with. Samples of articles in the va rious stages of production are forming the nucleus of a trade museum. Visits to factories and stores are organized, and trade chats are brought about with manufacturers.
 Young men thus trained will have a good foundation for success in business. MT. Rogers idea might proftably be put in operation in this country.

 Remark About Her.

An Incident in Which Patti Answered a
 Remark About Her.
 To writer in the Woman at Home, " Madame Albani has been giving some details of her life. My voice is a cer- tain amount of care to me-" she said. You think that it always sounds fresh and clear? Well, watch over it and never allow 1t to become tired if I can help it. On the days I am engaged to sing at the opera do not talk above a whisper for many hours beforehand Besides which I believe in careful diet Tea l forbid myself. Bordeaux find excellent. And sometimes between the acts of an opera I take, through a straw, a cup of bouillon made in the French way, which I find very restive. !"
 Madame Albani could sing any tune sung to her long before she could speak. My sister" she added, will tell you that she distinctly remembers by first soprano note--a real note, long sus- tained. We were playing together in our cot in the early morning, before the household were astir, and, baby though

Construction work at the Atlanta ex- position grounds, Piedmont park, is well under way and few weeks will see the frames of all the buildings up
 More than hundred pillars for the agricultural building are already in place, on a site where a forest of young oaks were growing a. month ago. The grading for the government building has been finished, and the foundations of the manufactures building are laid, A great store of brick and lumber is lying near, and the workmen, at last accounts, were waiting for mild weather to start the uprights and flooring and push them skyward. South of this building is the basin, artiicially pre- pared, which will become Lake Clara meer as soon as water is turned into it. On it's verge the electrical building will stand. The levelling and excava- tions have been made. The entire framework of the fine-arts building Is up, and, judging from the plans, it promises to be the architectural feature of the grounds, which it will command from a slightly hill. Railroad tracks have been put down all over the park, and loaded cars are moving in every day and discharging material.

How to Ride a Bicycle.
From Harper's Young People

From Harper's Young People.l
 The proper position for bicycle rid

 He should push nearly straight down ward with his legs--not backwards, as
 one must do who leans far forward
 His arms should not be rigid and ex- | tended to their full length, but little
 bent, and the handles can be easily ad-
 justed to bring this about. The reason
 for the bent, or slightly bent arm Is
 evident after moments thought If
 the arm is stiff, rigid, and extended to | full length, the "pull' which you give
 the handles on going up hill or, indeed, while running along level road, IS a l dead pull There is not life i'll it. Each | jar to the machine is jar to your body, your head and neck and consequently | to your whole system, On the other | hand, if you ride with your arms lit- | tie bent, and acting as kind of buffer to all jarring influences, they will save you an injurious though unnoticeable, shaking up each time you go out. The only way in which you will notice a change will be after you have become accustomed to the bent-arm method
 Then you will find you can ride longer without becoming tired.
 Another feature of this stiff arm is the position into which the shoulders are thrust Try it; grow little tired with a long ride and then see where your shoulders are. You have gradual a

 No; the weight of your body should never come on your hands and arms, but on your thighs, and thence be trans ferred to the seat with the unconscious springy action of your legs, which in a measure allows some of your weight to come on the pedals In this position your hands are free to guide your wheel; your your body is erect; you do not then get into the habit of swinging from side to side to put more weight on one side and then on the other; and your whole muscular movement is regular and normal Try riding without put ting either hand on the the handles, and sitting erect. If you ride well you can easily keep your balance, and in an instant you will be in the correct po- sition.

THE BRrDGEPoRT ACHIEVEMENT.


 Yesterday morning in the Bridgeport City Court the liquor dealers who were caught by the Law and Order league paid $2025 into the city treasury and agreed to sin no more against the liquor law The agreement was ap-
 proved by the court, and if the liquor
 dealers keep their promises they will
 have no more trouble about the cases that have been brought If they do
 not they will have a great deal more, for in consenting to the arrangement made the court and the league lost none of their rights. The cases are not dead, but can be brought up at any time and pushed to the end.
 It is felt by the good citizens of Bridgeport that the league has made a wise use of it's power. As the Bridge port Standard puts it: It has secured the evidence necessary to the conyic- ton of 8 large number of offenders and has, therefore a vast advantage in the business. Whether it would be better to push that advantage to an issue now, or to hold it as a weapon against future violations was the oues- tion. The latter alternative was chosen as that likely to be productive of the greatest good, and, while the league does not surrender anything of it's su- perior power, but will be able to use it to effect hereafter, if necessary, it elects to suspend operations for the present upon the promise of good be- havior predicated upon personal in- terest, on the part of the liquor dealers of the city. They are interested in the keeping of the compact; they are made

 Into such an elaborate wrap, little girl will go with entire satisfaction, but boys of the same age are ordinarily ad- verse to rigs in which taey can not frelie in rough and tumble fashion. Better suited to their tastes are big ulsters with great hoods and lined all through with horse-blanket plaid flan- nel They are double breasted, have wide belts and side pockets and the boy will feel just like a car-driver" in one of them, whereby he will be highly contented.
 If the little fellow can be induced to wear long leather leggings. a Russian leather cap and a coachman's cape of Russian sable, he will be every inch a young swell, but he would heap rath- CT have an ulster to his heels, even if his mamma doesn't think him so pret- ty. Little bits of fellows are put into many capped coats of dark broadqloth. dull green, brown or stone coior be- ing the right thing. Each cape is heav- fly edged with sealskin, a fur collar turns about the wee face, and peaked cap of sealslzin with two upstanding pieces of broadcloth in front gives quaint effect of boyishness, even though the little face is really too small to see. Time was when boys and oirls while ba bies were dressed t1rattv much alike, but boys are dressed to look like boys as soon as possible now.

Little girls and boys clothing re- ceives a deal of consideration from their mothers, the wealthy matron be- ing often inclined toward treating her little ones like dolls, while in the homes where economy is watchword, the constant aim is to provide garments that are durable and capable of being let out to accommodate it's fast grow ing tenant. Wraps are 8 very impor- tant item in the winter, for. when warmly clad a child can receive much benefit from romping in the cold air.

movements, and they keep you from forming bad habits, or letting your sag into set, ilnmovable positions. They al- so bring the muscles into a different kind of play.
 In fact, in bicycle riding as in about everything else, you should remember that there is right and wrong way; that you need not only endurance but speed, and that changing from one to another, keeping up variety is one good way of avoiding bad habits.

Oliver Dalrymple, the famous wheat grower, says it is his firm belief that wheat will never again bring dollar a bushel.

Lieutenant John T. Knight makes in the February North American some practical suggestions on the way to baf- fie train robbers, He calls attention to the fact, with which every one is fa- miliar, that in making up trains the express or baggage car is placed next the engine, and he explains that in do- ing this the trainmen play directly into the hands of the robbers. "It may safely be assumed" he says, "that the
 point of attack is the engine and then the express car. Why, then, not sepa- rate them as much as possible by put ting the express car the last in the train? Have alarm bells in each coach and sleeper, which can be rung by the express messenger when he is directed or required, at this unusual time and place, to open the door of his car. In each coach and sleeper have, in glass front case similar to those now in use for the ax and saw, two repeating shotguns, each magazine containing five buckshot cartridges, thus giving from six to twelve most effective

Texas sets good example to other southern States by the introduction into her legislature of a bill to impose pen alties upon lynching. It provides that the county in which the crime takes place shall be held pecuniarily responsi- ble and shall pay to the legal represent atives of the victim a sum not less than $3,OOO. It also decrees that the sheriff who lets a prisoner escape, unless he is wounded and disabled in the effort to retain him, shall be at once deprived of his office.
