Family Expenditures.

The remaining classes of family eXpendi-
ture, 24.13 per cent Of all, consist Of cloth
ing, 14.04 per cent; fuel and lighting, 5.25
per cent; furniture and utensils, 3.42 per
cent, and tobacco. 1.42 per cent. For these
no retail prices covering a series of years
are available. but accepting as true OF
Wholesale and retail prices here, what this
investigation has found true in the case of
food, namely, that retail prices rise and
fall more slowly and in smaller degree than
wholesale prices, an examination of the
relative wholesale prices of these classes
of articles in bulletin No. 40, giving them
their proper weight according to family
consumption, leads to the conclusion that
the retail prices of these articles as a
whole in 1902 could have been but little, II
at all, above the level indicated by food
1t is apparently safe and conservative
conclusion, therefore, that the increase In
the cost of living, as whole, in 1902, when
compared with the year of lowest prices,
was not over 161 per cent the figure given
above as the increase in the cost of food
as shown by this investigation. This as
sumes, of course, always the purchase of
the same articles and the same quantities
in years of low prices. low wages and more
or less irregular employment. and in years
of higher prices. higher wages and steady
employment.

LIVING COMES HIGHER
BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS
SHOW INCREASE.
Food Has Risen in Price, While Wages
Have Not Proportionately Grown
During Past Decade.

A bulletin on the cost of living of work
ingmens families, issued by the Bureau of
Labor, shows that of 1851 families in thir-
ty-three states from whom information
was obtained the average income per fam
lily was $s27.19; average expenditure for all
purposes. $76s.54; average expenditure per
family, for food, $32S9O, and the average
size of family, 5.31 persons.
The last figure is seven-tenths above the
average of private families in the whole
country. as shown by the census of 1900.
The food expense is more than AN per cent
of the expenditure for all purposes.
An extended investigation covering the
years 1S9O-19O2 shows that the cost of food
reached it's highest in 1902, the average
then being 100 per cent above the average
for the decade 1S90-1S99, and an increase
of 16.1 per cent compared with 1896, the
year of lowest prices.
The First Investigation.
That part of the investigation which re-
lates to retail prices is the first extended
investigate that has been made into retail
prices in this country. All previous price
studies covering a period Of years have
dealt solely with the wholesale prices,
which, of course, do not represent accurate
ly the cost to the small consumer. In their
general trend retail prices follow the
wholesale prices but their fluctuations are
smaller and less rapid, and this is clearly
brought out In the full report. A COMPARE
son of the relative wholesale and retail
prices Simple average) of twenty-five SIM
liar articles or groups of articles of food,
covering the period 1890 to 1902, inclusive,
shows range of 49, per cent in wholesale
prices, but only 15.4 per cent in retail prices.
The average cost of food per family in
1890 was $3.50. In 1896, the year of low
est prices, it fell to 1896. 76 and in 1902
reached the highest point of the period,
being $34461, an increase, as has been
already stated, of 16.1 per cent over 1896, or
Of 1913 per cent when compared with the
average for the ten-year period 1890 to
1899. The increase in the cost Of living
as shown by the results of this investiga-
ton relates to food alone, representing AZ. "a
per cent of all family expenditures in the
1857 families furnishing information.
OF the remaining articles, constituting
certain ones are from the nature affected
only indirectly and in very slight degree
by any rise or fall in prices Such are
payments on account of principal and in
terest of mortgage, taxes, property and life
insurance, labor and other organization
fees, religion. charity, books and news
papers, amusements and vacations, intoxi-
eating liquors and sickness and death.
These together constituted 14.51 per cent
of the family expenditure in 1901 Of the
1861 families investigated. Miscellaneous
purposes, not reported, for which. from
their character, no prices are obtainable,
made up 5.s7 per cent, and rent. for which
also no prices for several years are avail
able. made I'D - a5 cent.

Passing BY.

Now it came to pass that when He
drew near to Jericho, a certain blind
man sat by the wayside begging. And
when he heard the multitude passing
by him, he asked what this meant.
And they told him Jesus Of Nazareth
was passing by"
Il hear thy voice above the din
OF shouting multitudes that press
Between me and Thy tender eyes,
Thy healing hand appraised to bless;
Lord, 1 am blind! Look, look this
way!
l sit anear the sun-dried pool,
Waiting for Thee the livelong day
And, oh, to me be merciful!
Lord, am blind! Not mine to know
What sight Of sky or earth may
mean,
Men tell me of the solemn stars
Sun, moon, that l have never seen.
Sinful, repining, gone astray-
Yet turn on me those brows of grace,
Lift up this darkening veil, 1 pray,
That may see Thy holy face.
The happy little children sing
Around me in the burning heat
OF noon, or when the shadows bring
Soft breezes to our dusty street.
All day their joy rang far and wide,
Fain would list to these anigh-
Jesus of Nazareth comes,' they cried,
The Lord is passing by
"'And wherefore make We praise and
song,
What hath He done to move We thus y
%, he hath raised the dead to life
With sweetest speech and marvellous,
And He hath made the deaf to hear,
The dumb to speak, the blind to see.
came, waited, long and sore,
o, Lord, be merciful to me-"
He heard. The pressing throng I'M
closed
A pathway to the wayside we'll;
Upon the poor shut lids His touch
And tender breathing gently fell.
o! glad blind beggar in the dust,
Who rising from thy lowly place,
Lift eyes of wonder, love and trust,
And gaze upon thy Savior's face!
* X *
Lord, am blind. Yet do Thou pause
A little while to mark my woe;
Weak is my plea, but family raised
Amid the crowds that come and go;
My heart, world-weary, turns at last
From deeps of sin with shuddering
cry
o, dear Lord, hear the prayer l pray,
And save me passing by!

The Worlds Inventors.

The Patent Office statisticians in
form us that Britons are the most in
vcntive of all foreigners; that for the
year 1901 the patents issued to British
inventors numbered 900. while the
Germans, in spite Of the advantages Of
cheaper drink and quieter surround
ings, come forward with only 74a in
ventions, says the Washington Times.
1t is granted, we believe. that the
Yankees are the leading inventors; and
naturally our cousins on the other side
