The Agricultural Department has is
sued bulletin on mosquitoes. 1t gives
full information concerning the various
breeds of mosquitoes that have to be
dealt with in this country; it explains
which kinds of mosquitoes bite the
hardest; it gives diagrams of their
drilling contrivances; it goes into
minute details concerning the number
of baby mosquitoes reasonably indus
trious mamma mosquito may become

or a year, and in fact it tells us all
about mosquitoes but one import
ant thing. The bulletin gives us no in

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 Educa-.
tional and Industrial Union of Boston
has recently carried on an investigations
with the view Of obtaining data which
would serve the purpose Of establish
ing basis upon which there could be-
a 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 Statis-
tics. The schedule OF statistics of par
ticular moment was Nlled out by sew
enty families living in the vicinity of
Boston. From a condensation Of the
report of the inquiry the following in
tereSting facts are obtained: One fam
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 O subsistence, e.
fuel and lights, (3) rent, a. taxes and
insurance, (5) 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-nine 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 $18 a month to $225. The total
expenses for the whole period Of nine
monthe showed wide range-from
1858 for family Of three to $5,412. sc
for a family of ten. The average total
expense for all the families Of five per-
sons was found to be 81 ,477.24. For six |
persons it was $2,O58.94. 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 SUBJ
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 week
for each Of the members Of house
hold consisting Of eight, including one
servant. In contrast with these was
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.

che cabinet, is SO. The young king and
his venerable counsellor face a situa-
ton which calls for the courage of
youth and the wisdom Of age. For sew
eral years the forces Of discomfort have
been increasing in numbers and act1v-
ity. Partnership in the Triple Alliance
has imposed heavy burdens upon Italy.
Taxation has been onerous; food has
been high. Two years ago there were
dangerous riots which required the use;
of troops to suppress. The Government
has tried to restrict the rights of public
assembly, at first by legislation, and
than by royal decree. 1t has tried to
prevent parliamentary obstruction by
giving the President of the Deputies
arbitrary powers Of suspension. But,
as often happens, these measures have
only intensified the evils which they;
were meant to check. In the parlia-,
ment which was in session last spring,
all business was blocked by violent
demonstrations similar to those which
paralyzed the Austrian Reichsrath.
Deputies howled, sang, played on mu-
sical instruments and beat their desks
for hours to prevent motions from be-
ing put, and the Government gave up.
the useless struggle and ordered cleo
tons for new parliament. The cleo
tions took place in June. They gave
the government majority in the,
Chamber Of Deputies; but they also
showed that the government was in
a minority on the popular vote. The
various opposition candidates polled,
altogether, nearly one hundred and
fifty thousand more votes than the min
isterial candidates. The Republicans
and Radicals gained heavily, and the
Socialists gained most Of all.

Cuban Convention.

Washington, Nov. II. - China was
pushed aside yesterday at the cabinet
discussion by other live questions
which are now being forced to the CEN
ter of the stage, is for example. the
Philippine Instruction, the Cuban
constitutional convention and the re-
cent elections in Porto Rico and the
delegate to congress. President Nc
Kinley is being kept informed of the
proceedings of the Cuban convention,
as he will be largely influenced In max
ing a recommendation to congress by
the spirit displayed by the Cuban dele
gates. 1t is not unlikely that the
president will simply recite what has
been done in observing the resolution
of congress granting Cuba complete
independence and place the response
bility upon the executive body to de-
termine what final disposition shall be
made of the Cuban question.
Orders have been forwarded to Gen.
Macarthur in the Philippines to wage
a vigorous campaign against preda-
tory guerrilla bands of insurgents in
order to ~extinguish the smoldering
fires of rebellion. Despite the absence
of public announcement at the war
department. there is a strong feeling
here that the Philippine insurrection
will shortly be a thing of the past.
Gen. MacArthur's orders are compre-
hensive and instruct him to send his
men into the regions and mountain
Businesses where the insurgent bands
flee for refuge, and from which they
emerge now and then to make some
cowardly attack on American troops.
American officers here think that as
soon as the result of the election be-
comes known throughout the Philip
pines. the resistance to the authority
of the United States will be overcome.
