One Of the subjects recently consid.
cred by the Massachusetts Bureau of
Labor is the comparative cost of food
cooked at home and that cooked out
side. Bread furnished by the baker,
for instance, costs about one cent a
pound less than that baked at home,
but on meat cooked at home there is
a saving Of about one-third. The saw
Ing is still greater on entire dinners
cooked at home. In one case 1t was
found that q family dinner cooked
In the home kitchen cost an average
OF sixteen cents for each person, but
Il similar dinner, when cooked out
side and sent in, cost twenty-five
cents for each person. The object OF
this investigation was to benefit fam
lilies living in cities, where, in late
years, facilities for getting outside
cooked meals have been abundantlp
provided.

eighty or a hundred and eighty years

looked toward the ground.
Patua was mending fishing-boat

his glance sought my hand, which I was

over his face, but evidently the power
OF the ring was not overestimated.
He held out his brown hand, upon the

I clasped his hand, taking care that

Still, he had good bread and cocoa,

I was eating. L remembered old
Lowai's words, that if the one-eyed

long Nimolau might be in making his

wise plan to take some food along,
for if Nimolau, the one-eyed, was very
long absent, would be hungry.
So I had my Chinese host make mo
