The Cost of Comfort

When the cost of comfort is balanced
against the desire for comfort, the following
figures may help the desire.
One FAN MOTOR, running at 1900 revo-
lutions per minute consumes 20 Watts. At
Is cents per 1000 Watts per hour, 20 Watts
per 10 hours costs &c. If 10 hours comfort
isn't worth &C. the desire for comfort is not
very great and further figures are useless
A business mans time is represented by
dollars. Discomfort decreases a mans abili-
ty to turn time int" money. The Fan Mo-
tor produces ComE therefore, it represents
to its users a valuable assist in the hot Sum-

LIBRARIANS OF OLD AGES
As an Armory to a Castle So Was the
Library to the Ancient
Monastery.

The librarian was sworn into
Office on the holy gospels, as be-
came one whose duty it is to fur
nish to those who have need the
flood" and weapons" of the soul
for Sc they used to call books.
Books are the nourishment of
the SOUL" says one abbot, speak
ing of the library of his convent;
and another says: GAS the ar
mory is to the castle, so the library
is to the monastery" The very
lame librarian, "armarius," de-
rived as it is from the press, cup
board or almeric in which the
books r kept, is precisely the
modern word Ginloner-as t..c al
moner serves from his cupboard
food and drink for the needy, SO
the librarian deals out books.
which are the food and drink of
the soul, says Harper's Magazine.
In the beginning the librarian
was, c%uriously enough as it sounds
at first, the precentor or choir
master, but the explanation of
this is, in fact, simple enough;
since the first books were the
service books kept in the apse-
cupboard in the church, the pre-
centor was naturally charged
with their care, and when the col
lection grew by the addition Of
other books he kept charge until
the growth made subdivision of
labor necessary.
The ordinary duties of librari-
ans are often laid down with great
minuteness in monastic rules;
they differ greatly in detail but
not much in essence from those of
the modern; he must take charge
of the books, keep and know I'M
der their separate titles" fire.
quently examine carefully to pre-
vent damage from damp, dust,
mice and "moth worms" and re
pair them when damaged. He
must lend books to the brethren,
enter such loan carefully in his
register, and e that a sufficient
deposit is left for it's return, or
proper bond given.

REYNOLDS AND HIS RIVAL.
Contrast Between the Two Artists
Difference Between Art and
Nature. T.

The contrast between these two
artists is almost the difference be-
tween art and nature, says st.
Nicholas. Reynolds was learned in
what other painters had done, and
had. reduced his own art to a sys-
TEN. GSlnsborough found out
almost everything for himself;
never lost the simple, natural way
of looking at things and people;
and painted not according to rule,
but at the dictates of what he felt.
Reynolds planned out his effects,
Gainsboroagh painted on the spur
of tie imp. ession which the sub
ject aroused. Reynolds art was
based on safe general principles;
Gairsborough's was the fresh and
spontaneous expression of his
temperament-depending, that is
to say, on feelings rather than on
calculation. His temperament,
or habit of mind, was dreamy and
poetic, gentle and retiring, includ~
ing a small range of experience.
Reynolds, on the other hand, was
a man Of the world and of business
capacity; intimate with Samuel,
johnson, Oliver Goldsmith and
other celebrities of the day.; a man
of knowledge and clever CONVERSE
tional power, whose pictures by
their variety prove his versatility.
Consequently when the Royal
academy was established, in 1769,
he was elected president by ac-
c%lanlation and was knighted BIZ
Geosge H.. an honor that has
eyer since been bestowed on the
holder of this office.
These two men yer at the head
of the group Of portrait painters
who,in the latter part Of the eight
eenth century and in the early
years of the succeeding one, added
luster to the new growth of.art in
England.

LANDS FISH WITH LASSO.>
Sturgeon Weighing 1o4 Pounds
, Fights for Over an Hour Before
j.. He Is Finally Caught.

Watertown, N. Y.-The most exciting
fish story, that is we'll authenticated,
heard so far this season, comes from
Massena, where Orville A. Babcock, a
famous fisherman of that section, had a
battle royal the other night with a mon
ster sturgeon. A few nights ago 0rville,
who was passing near the racks of one
of the Massena canal power houses, say
a sturgeon of gigantic proportions in the
foaming waters near the racks. Orville
took a rope, and, after a half hours trial,
surgeons tail.
Fol another half hour he fought to tire
the fish out, and finally, when it lay quiet
against the racks, he got down, rested
one knee on the girt of the gatehouse
wall, and, with his shoulder against the
racks, reached down into the water to
pull the sturgeon out. After hauling the
fish well up out of the water, he found
that he was unable to secure a hold low
er down on the Shiny monster. on &C
count of having to cling to the girt with
n hand. He got a firm grip with his
teeth on the tail of the fish, but the
denizen of the deep gave a flop and tore
loose, leaving a hunk of the tail between
Orville's jaws. After another 20 min
utes' wrestle, the moose was slipped over
the head of the fish, and Orville hauled
him out. He tipped the beam at. T04
pounds.

announcement of society affairs at

COST OF LIVING HIGH
PRICES OF ALL FOOD PRODUCTS
ARE INCREASING.
Bureau Of Labor Issues a Bulletin
Showing Increase in Recent
.Years-steady Climb,
Since 1900.

Washington.-Prices of fuel, cloth
are constantly increasing, according to
a bulletin just issued by the bureau
of labor, covering the period from 1890
to 1904. In the early '90s prices were
very high, but in the last four years
they have been steadily increasing, un-
til now they are relatively higher than
in 1892, just before the memorable
financial and commercial depression.
The period of lowest prices vas from
1894 to 1897.
The lowest price of beef was in
April, 1896, when the best choice vas
quoted at $685. to $4.25~p per hundred
pounds. The highest price was the lat
ter part of August, 1902, when the price
touched $3.50 to SO per hundred
pounds. Corn was lowest in 1886 and
highest in 1892.
In a table of comparison, in which
the average price for the years 1890
to 1899 is taken as the basis, 16 articles
of farm production, including sheep,
cattle, hay, hogs, hides and grains, are
enumerated. All except flax seed in
creased. over the average price from
1890 to 1899. The increase in prices in
1904 ranges from 7.8 per cent. on sheep
and 81 per cent. on cattle to 32.6 per
cent. on corn, 1878 per cent. On oats,
1873 per cent on wheat, and the top
increase of 96.2 per cent. o. New York
state hops.
The average increase in 1904 in the
wholesale price Of farm products over
/ the average for the years 1890 and 1899
is 1852 per cent OF So articles included
under the head of food it is shown
that the 1904 price Of all but IA articles
was higher than the average price of
the same from 1890 to 1899.
Seventy articles under the head Of
cloth and clothing show tnal rne k,er-
age price for 1904 was 9.8 per cent.
higher than the average from 1890 to
1899. The table o. fuel and lighting

MINIATURE JAP GARDENS.
Made in This Country and Used to
Decorate the Dinner Table for
American Society.

The little japanese gardens dis
played in the windows of florists
are made in this country, but by
Japanese artists.
"We import the dwarf plants
and trees used for the purpose
from JAPAN" said one dealer to a
New York Sun reporter. "The
gardens are constructed by Jap.
anese men here whom we employ
for the work.
Glow much are they? The ones
that you see here range from 50 to
$6. We have more expensive
ones. These are the Sc ones in
these round terracotta pots.
"Some people use them for jar
dinieres for the center of the din
ing table. The c~oloringi is rich and
good and the little gardens al
ways interest people,"
OnlyJapanese art could achieve
these wonderful miniature gar
dens, many of them not more than
eight inches across.
A perfect illusion of extensive
landscape is won by the clever
placing of the tiny dwarfed trees,
the artfultwists givento wee gray
eled paths, the carefully arranged
vistas.
The smallest gardens are, as a
rule, grown in little shallow por-
celain dishes of pretty design and
coloring. The larger gardens are
grown in shallow earthenware
pots, bowl shaped.
Flooded with bright sunshine
the gardens show off to the best
advantage.
II love mine in the sunset light"
says a woman who is SO devoted to
her garden that she has had a spe-
cial high stand made for it to rest
on in a bow window, where it may
catch an admirable all round light.
"The effect of the golden light
through the little old pine trees is
stunning, and orange streaks slip
over the little lawns in just the
way they do over real lawns.
"When dusk comes the garden
is delightful, SO dark and bosky
and cool. And in the moonlight! !
Well, you just ought to see the
moonlight on my garden, tighten.

Cuttlefsh Have Been Found with a
Reach Of Thirty-Eight Feet
Kill Victims.

Of all the big game of the deep
sea that have been taken by man
the cuttlefishes are the most dia-
bolical in shape and general ap
pearance. ! have handled and
measured one that was 3S feet in
len.th, a weird, spiderlike crea-
ture with two antennaelike arms
80 feet in length, says a writer in
Metropolitan Magazine. Speci-
mems of these animals have been
caught 20 feet in length, the cap
tors fighting them with an ak, cut
ting the arms which seized and
held the boat.
Off the coasts of California and
Alaska there is a big deep sea ally
of this ANIMAL big spiderlike
octopus-that haunts the deep
banks, preying upon the fishes
most esteemed by fishermen. tits
found off the Farralones on rock
bottom and at times the fishermen
haul in their lines thinking that
they have fouled a stone or rock,
so heavy is the weight, but when
the surface is reached long, livid
arms shoot above the water, seize
the boat and the men are forced to
fight with knives and hatchets the
weird, uncanny game that has a
radial spread of 80 feet, it's eight
sacker-lined arms being Is feet
in length and possessed of ex-
traordinary power. A specimen
taken off the island of San Gle
mente had a spread of about 20
feet and gave the boatman a hard
battle to sever it's flying arms.
Nothing more diabolical can be
conceived than this spiderIika
giant of the deep sea, living among
the reeks 600 to 1000 feet below
the surface. An individual of
moderate size which l kept alive
displayed the greatest pugnacity.
The moment I approached it
would literally hurl itself at my
arm, winding it's long tentacles
about it in a manner suggestive
of what a large individual might
do. Indeed, DR.. A. S. Packard,
professor of zoology at Brown uni
versity, says:
"An Indian woman at Victoria,
Vancouver island, in 1877, was
seized and drowned by an octopus.
probably Of this species, while
bathing On the shore. Smaller
specimens on coral reefs some
times seize collectors or natives,
and. fastening to them with their
relentless suckered arms, tire and
brighten to death the hapless vic
