Cost of Living.
From Harper's Weekly.


1t seems to cost a great deal to live now
aGays. Most persons notice it, especially
persons who are hard put to it 10 find the
money to pay their bills. The atiSticians
report that commodities n general use cost,
on an average, about 10 per cent more than
they did year ago. The rise in the price
Of meat contributes a good deal to this ad-
vance, though breadstufs have been high
too. Articles of luxury like good clothes
and country houses have grown dearer in
proportion than most articles of necessity,
because the huge influx of money that the
country has sustained has made brisk
market for luXur es. Rents are higher;
houses cost more; servants get higher
wages; board is higher at summer hotels.
Another thing that counts for a gre2: dc al
is that in prosperous times like these the
incomes of very many people are increased
and their expenditures are prop0rtioIately
amplfied. They spend more money, live
mere luXuriously and raise the STANDARD of
living. The living expenses of any given
family are very much affected by the ex-
penses of other families of their acquaint-
ance, and the scale of living of other fam
iiies'' seems just now to have become IN
conveniently liberal. There is nothing that
we are reader to share than our econo-
mics. 1t is easier to economiZe when ii is
the fashion. Just now prodigdlity is so
conspiGGously prevalent that il has become
more or less epidemic.

ARCHDUKE FRANCIS FERDINAND
A Model Prince Who is to Rule Over
Irreconcilable Peoples.
From the London World.


OF the many distinguished strangers who
assembled here for the coronation. one Of
the most nteresting-personally the least
known, too, perhaps-is the Austrian EN-
perors representative, Franz Ferdinand
d Este. For he is at once the future soyer-
eign of a great empire and the hero of a
romance, the hope of an important politi-
cal party, and willing tool in the hands
of clever woman.
Sooner or later he will be called upon
unless the fates with their shears inter-
vene-to play a role of almost incompatible
difficulty. AS Emperor of Austria, King of
Hungary, and ruler of Bohemia Galizia
other states, he will have to hold the bal
ance even among some dozen rival nation
alities, each one with a taste for flying at
| the throat of its neighbOrs. He must spend
| his life-he has no choice in the matter If
| he be emperor-trying to do the impossible,
| trying to reconcile interests that clash, and
induce people who hate one another to
throw in their lot together Loyalty.
Among his subjects he will have Pan
Germans and Pan-Slavs, evangelicals of
the narroWest type and ultramontanes of
the most eXalte-men to whom the pope
is the abomination Of denominations and
men to whom he stands the emblem of
all that Is holy. He will have among them
too, republicans and absolutists, progress
sives and reactionaries, constitutionalists
anarchists and socialists; and on him will
fall the duty of keeping peace among the
| lot With such work before him. little
wonder he looks depressed sometimes and
| is more prone to sigh than laugh

A Defense Of Claret.
From the Lancet.


We learn that his majesty, the king, re-
ceived the offer from various wine mer-
chants and growers of the Bordeaux district
OF a thousand bottles of claret or more If
so desired. The bottles were not to bear
any names of firms or owners of vineyards
and the gift was simply intended to COM
memorate the coronation. 1t Is stated that
Lord Pembroke in his reply, regretted that
claret was not used in the hospitals Of this
country, but that all the same he thanked
the winegrowers who had made this gener-
Gus offer. 1t may be true that claret is not
used in British hospitals. but is there any
reason why it should not be-any reason so
cogent to cause this excellent gift horse
to be looked suspiciously in the face? Claret
by which we mean sound Bordeaux such as
this wine would have been, Is excellent
and wholesome drink and we think that i,
IS thousand pities. from every point of
vitw, that the generous and kindly thought
of the Bordeaux growers was not more ap-
preciated.

The position of affairs in Afghanis an can

mirable restraint and excellent judgment,

1t might be going too far to describe them
strained; a safer description will be to
call them merely uncertain. Just as it was
known long before the Stolietoff mission
and the outbreak of the Afghan war in
1878 that Snere Ali was in communicat ton
with the Russian authorities at Tashkent
