THE COST OF LIVING.
The Question as to Whether 1t Is Greater
In Summer or In Winter.

81 was talking with my wife the other
day about the cost of living" said a man.
"about whether it costs more to live i'm
summer or, in winter, and she said il de-
pended a good deal on how you were stu
ated-that is, whether you lived in the
country, or in a smaller city where you had
a garden and raised your own vegetables,
or whether you lived in a city where you
had to buy all those things, and it depend
cd also a good deal on how you were cir
cumstanced She thought that people who
were downright poor and people who were
rich could live cheaper in summer than in
winter-this Is of course not taking any
account of summer travel and that sort of
thing; the poor, because in summer they
had less to pay for fuel and the clothes re-
quired cost less, and they could If need be
live on as little as at any time; the rich,
eating more or less fresh vegetables and
fruits in winter, because vegetables were
cheaper in summer.
'As to people in moderate circum-
stancs, that is with incomes sufficient to
live comfortably on, she thought that II
anything it cost them rather more to live
in summer. Light, fuel and clothes cost
them more in winter, but they spent less
in winter for food. The moderate people
couldn't afford to eat fresh vegetables in
winter; they ate canned goods then, and
in less quantity and at less expense than
the fresh vegetables and fruits of which
they ate freely in summer.
Upon further elaboration, however,
my wife was inclined to think that, taking
one thing with another, 1t cost people in
moderate circumstances about the same to
live in winter as in summer, and with this
view l am inclined to agree. In fact,
know, when come to think about it, that
our own expenses In winter and summer
are strikingly uniform, as indeed they are
the year around, so closely do they at all
times approximate to our income. New

Lro,s MANNER OF SPEECH.
He L. Deliberate, but Unhesitating. and
His Voice Has Great Carrying Power.


Tho stiff mannerism of the patriarchal
system, which survived until recently
from carly koman times, gave him that
somewhat formal tone and authoritative
manner which are So chalA teristic of his
conversation in private. His deliberate
but unhesitating speech makes ono think
of Goethe's without haste, without rest.
Yet his formality is not of the slow and
circumlocutory sort. On the contrary, it
Is energetically precise, and helps rather
than mars the sound casting of each Idea.
The formality of strong people belongs TO
them naturally, and is the expression Of a
certain unchanging persistence; that OF
the weak is mostly assumed for the sake
of magnifying the little strength they
have.
The pope's voice Is as distinctly indivi-
dual as his manner of speaking. 1t is not
deep nor very full, but considering his
great age 1t is wonderfully clear and ring
ing, and it has a certain incisiveness of
sound which gives 1t great carrying power.
Plus TX had as beautiful voice, both in
compass and in richness OF quality, as any
baritone singer in the Sistine choir. No
one who ever heard him intope the ste
Deum" in st. Peters in the old days can
forget the grand tones. He was gifted in
many ways-with great physical beauty,
with rare charm Of manner, and with a
most witty humor, and in character he
was one of the most kind hearted and
gentle men of his day. as he was also one
Of the least initiative, SO to say, while en-
dowed with the high moral courage Of
boundless patience and political humility.
Leo XIII need speak but half dozen
words, with one glance of his flashing eyes
and one gesture of his noticeably long arm
and transparently thin hand, and the
moral distance between his predecessor
and himself is at once apparent. There is
strength still in every movement, there Is
deliberate decision in every tone, there is
lofty independence in every look. Behind
these there may be kindness, charity, and
all the milder gifts of virtue, but what is
apparent is a sort of energetic, manly
trenchancy which forces admiration rather
than awakens sympathy. Marion Craw
