A Swim in the Dead Sea.

Every one has heard of the buoy
ancy of the water of the Dead Sea. 1t
is virtually impossible to sink in the
Dead Sea, and SO great is the quantity
of salt in the water that if you dip
your hand in and draw it out again,
you will Immediately see the salt crys-
tallizing in the sun. 1t is needless to
remark that an involuntary mouthful
of Dead Sea water is horrible expe-
rience. never likely to be forgotten by
the bather. However, if you don't stay
in the water too long, swim in the
Dead Sea is very extraordinary and
pleasurable experience. The shores, as
is well known, are strangely desolate,
and they are strewn with bits of wood
and branches of trees all crusted with
brine in the most curious manner, and
woe unto any one who goes into this
water having open cuts or scratches on
his body.

OLD LINCOLN ROME RESTORED.

Extensive repairs on the old home OF
Abraham Lincoln at Springfield, ILL.,.
have been completed. The 1900 appro-
priated by the last Legislature was spent
in strengthening the foundations and re-
storing those parts Of the building that
had begun to give way under the wear
and tear of rain and bad weather. Care
was taken not to make the slightest al
teration in the historic structure, as it is
the intention of the State to preserve it
in its original condition as long as 1t
stands.
The restoration Of this house has been
watched with anxious interest, and now
that the work is completed, visitors who
were friends of the great President de-
clare that it is just as they remember it
when Lincoln broke up housekeeping to
move to Washington. The house was
built in 1910 and was purchased by Mr..
Lincoln in 1874, two years after his mar
rage. He added an extra story to it and
furnished it simply. Here he lived for
almost seventeen years, and when he
turned his back upon it he went out to
take charge Of the affairs of the nation
at its most crucial time. 1t was Feb
ruary II, 1861, that he crossed its thresh-
old for the last time. In restoring the
old house the furniture that did service
when Mr.. Lincoln was a young attorneS
has been reupholstered and arranged as
it was when Mrs. Lincoln kept house in
the modest frame dwelling.
The Lincoln home is visited every year
by $4,000 persons, who pass with rever-
ent step from one room to another exam
lining the plain furniture, the books and
personal belongings that have gained
priceless value because they were the
property of the illustrious statesman
whose simple manhood, as we'll as his dis
tinguished services. endeared him to the
people of the United States.

l. The cost-of-living question is one that
comes up for discussion at intervals in
the majority Of well-regulated Ameri-
can families. All other expenditures
are SO closely related to it and so fire.
quently regulated by it that it may be
regarded as the cardinal question of
domestic life. The Woman's Educa7
tional and Industrial Union of Boston
has recently carried on an investigation
with the view of obtaining data which
would serve the purpose Of establish
ing basis upon which there could be
common understanding Of the prob
lens involved and eventually reason
able solution of them. The investiga-
ton resolved itself, Of course, into an
inquiry into household expenses and
the results, and the principal source of
information was the tabulated reports
of the Massachusetts, Bureau of Stats
tics. The schedule Of statistics of par
ticular moment was filled out by sew
enty families living in the vicinity of
Boston. From condensation of the
report of the inquiry the following in
lily Of two members was represented,
and one of seventeen, but in general
they ranged from three to twelve. The
time for which expenses were reported
covered nine months, and the items re-
ported upon were Q subsistence, (2)
fuel and lights, g. rent, a. taxes and
insurance, % servants and service,
e. furniture, fittings, and repairs. Only
two Of the families kept no servant. OF
the remained twenty-five employed one
servant, while Twenty-Five reported
two, thirteen three, and four families
reported four. One-half of the seventy
families owned their houses, and the
rents paid by the remainder ranged
from SIS a month to 1926. The total
expenses for the whole period of nine
monthe showed wide range-from
$55S for family of three to S., 412.66
for a family of ten. The average total
expense for all the families of five per-
sons was found to be 1,477.24. For six
persons it was $2,O5S94. The total
weekly cost of subsistence for families
Of different sizes ranged from $7.25 for
a family of two to $54.95 for family
of twelve. The average cost of sub
sistence per week per person is found
to be from $3.50 in families of eight
persons to $3.50 in families of twelve
The lowest rate of all was $1.29 a week
for each of the members of a house
hold consisting Of eight, including one
servant. In contrast with these was a
family of two, with two servants,
whose food cost $8.61 for each week in
nine months. The difference in the
size of the families, the difference in
the means at their disposal for supply
ing their various wants, render these
statistics worthless. They simply show
that seventy families have lived in sew
enty different ways, according to sew
enty different methods, depending prac-
tically upon seventy different kinds
and sizes of incomes.

Used to Shaving Corpses.

During trip through Ireland last

found myself in small village with no
razors. They had been packed in my
handbag, which / had left at the hotel
where had stayed the day before.
There was no barber shop in the place
and | was in quandary as to how /
might get shaved. The innkeeper told
m that there was a man in the village
who occasionally shaved people and /
determined to risk cut or two and
send for him. The amateur barber ar
rived with his razor, and after a little
hesitation he said to me:
"'Will you please, sir, lie down fat
on your back while / shave you, sir?''
Thinking that it was probably a Gus
tom Of the country, I stretched out COM
fortably on my back and nearly went
to sleep while the fellow shaved me, so
light was his touch. When he had fin
ished arose and said
II am curious to know why You
asked me to lie down to be shaved"
Because, sir was his ingenious re-
ply, I never before shaved live man,
