THE STANDARD OF LIVING.
Its Direct Relation to tho Scale of La
boris Wages.

It's Direct Relation to tho Scale of La
boris Wages.
The price of labor in the same indus
tries differs in different localities or
markets, not because the skill of labor
ers so greatly differs or because there is
great diversity in the supply and de-
mand for laborcrs, but because the cost
of production (the cost of living) great
~ differs in different localities. Thus,
in New York city, carpenters, masons
printers and other mechanics get for the
same work so and sometimes 100 per
cent more than in some other localities.
While the cost of living is sometimes
affected by the difference i'll prices OF
particular articles Of consumption it is
usually determined largely by the differ
ence in the social style of living. The
greater the variety of the things con-
sumed and comforts enjoyed by the la
borers the higher is their standard of
living and the greater their expenses or
cost of living. Now, it is universally
true in all countries and localities that
in proportion as this standard OF living,
or social expense of the laborer S family,
rises among any class of laborers, wages
rise, hence they are always highest in
large cities and lowest in remote coun-
try districts.
1t may be laid down. then, as gen.
eral principle that wages for similar la
Dor in any given market are governed
by the local standard of living of the
laborers. Consequently all efforts to i'm
prove the condition of the laboring
class, to be efficacious, must be directed
toward increasing the influences which
raise the standard of living among the
laboring class. In no other way can a
permanent increase of wages be secured,
and it may be added that no scheme for
social reform which does not tend to
promote this end can be of any real ben
eft to the wage class. -Gunton's Maya

THE FOODS WE EAT.
varloue Kinds aud What They Arc Sever
nlly Good For.


Nature supplies us with two complete
foods, milk and eggs which contain in
the proper proportions all the necessary
clements for the sustenance of our bod
les. AS these are the only complete
foods it is necessary in the absence to
have mixed foods, and it is in the mix
ing that mistakes occur, because the fat
forming, muscle forming and other
parts are taken in wrong proportions,
some in excess and others the reverse.
Left to his own taste primitive man in
ynriahly selects tho best food. This in
stinct, however. is defective at tho pres
ont day. For children food rich in bone
forming substances is necessary. Among
muscle rnlinr foods tho following are
the bost am -host common: Oatmeal
porridgo, with rich milk and whole
meal bread buttored; meat is q highly
condensed food of this class. TO men of
seden tary occupation free use of meat
is injurious For men engaged at hard
manual labor generous meat diet IS
admirable.
Vegetables contain but little nourish-
ment, but arc useful as blood purifiers
and also supply bulk to tho food, which
is necessary to give the consumer salts
faction. Milk should never be taken
with moat, because they arc both rich
In one substance Tea should not be
taken with meat other, because 1t
renders tho meat tough and indigesti-
BILE. Beef ranks first as muscle former
and mutton next. Pork makes very
digestible dish, and fowl and bacon are
q very useful and palatable dish. Cere-
ais enter largely into our diet and arc
of much value, because they supply food
or starch as well as muscle food. Pota-
toes provide little nutriment, but with
plenty of milk, which supplies the pre-
else ingredients they lack, good diet
is formed.
Sugar is vol worthy Of notice, and
tho child's love of it is perfectly
healthy instinct and should always DO
gratifed in reason. Fruits arc good
blood purifiers and should BIO considered
as essentials rather than Injuries. Beef
tea contains scarcely any nutriment
whatever and is almost purely stimu-
liant. A dog fed Oh beef tea starved to
death, while another fed Oh refuse meat
throvo. Tea, injurious if taken in ex-
cess, provides, if taken in moderation,
a most refreshing drink. Many scientists
recommend its use about two hours be-
fore our principal meal and without
food. Coffee is stimulant, unlike all
Others in fact, that it is followed by no
reaction. 1t stimulates the brain and is
called an intellectual drink. Cocoa de-
serves to be classed as food.-Pitts-

OLD ENGLISH LAWS.
Tho Unlimited Powers Which Father
Exercised Over His Offspring.

Tho Unlimited Powers Which Father
Exercised Over His Offspring.
In England less than 100 years ago
the husband had power to choose his
wife's associates, to separate her from
her relatives, to restrain her religious
and personal freedom, and if the need
could be shown even to chastise her
moderately, as though she were child.
What constituted sufficient cause for
corporal punishment was left for the
husband to prove and tho court to de-
eide, but SO universally was tho mastery
of man over his wife's body recognize
ed that trial for wife beating was al
most unheard of.
Under these old laws of England tho
father had power to dispose of his off
spring, by deed or legacy, until they
were 81 years of age, and the testament
tary guardian s right over the children
superseded that of the mother, who had
absolutely no legal control over them
and was entitled to nothing from them
save their reverence and respect. She
had no right even to their services, ex-
cept in the case of the mother of an
Legitimate child, who was entitled to
its control and custody. Upon marriage
the husband became entitled to the
wife's goods and chattels, to the rentals
and profits of her lands, to her earnings
and to the custody OF her person. In re-
turn he was bound only to supply her
with shelter, food, clothing and medi-
cine, which be could do out Of her per-
sonal earnings, or out of tho profits Of
her properties, should she be an hoiress:
If father died intestate, his personal
belongings were DIVIDED equally be-
tween his sons and daughters, but in
the case of real property a son, though
he be younger than all his sisters, was
the sole heir. In England less than a
century ago it was not unusual for a
man to sell his wife into servitude.

Tho TerrapIn Knew Him.

When the late Major Moses P. Handy
lived in Washington, he was frequently
attending dinners at Chamberlin's. AT
every dinner at all out Of the ordinary
it was Chamberlin's habit to pass
around the table alive the terrapin that
lit was assumed) the guests were to eat
later.
One night, as Major Handy told the
story, when the live terrapin were
brought in, as usual, be noticed, as he
thought, one of the terrapins wagging
his head at him. At the next banquet
the Same thing happened again, and at
the next one of the terrapin detached
himself from tho rest and, crawling
across the table to the majors plate,
rose on his hind legs, and, resting his
fore legs against convenient tumbler,
he bowed three times, solemnly; but
courteously, to the astonished and awe
struck guest.
Upon investigation it was discovered
that the terrapin had seen the major so
frequently at Cbamberlins festal board
that be recognized him as al old friend
and politely addressed him as such. Mr..
Chamberlin is said to have resented this
story as reflection on the freshness Of
his terrapin. City Journal.
