"THE LEVEL OF EXPENSE"
New Phrase Meaning Much in
Practical Application.
PittsburR Gazette

EFacttcal AppIlcnNlOns
Pittsburg Gazette.
A new catch phrase has been coined
which should be as popular as 1.-THE simple
life" or the new thought" This phrase is
''the level OF expense" II represents
that keeping of ones expenditures of all
kinds in a correct ratio one to the other.
The woman who has ascertained her proper
level of expense will not be paying an in
ordinately high rent, as compared with her
income, merely for the sake of a good local
ity. She will not purchase a velvet gown
and sable furs, even though she has the
money to pay for them. because those
things do not accord with her house, her
furniture and her usual style of dress. She
has found a way to proportion her income
so that all she has and does may seem in
keeping. There is in this wisdom which
the student of domestic economy will do
we'll to ponder over.
One of the most usual inequalities to be
observed in the American home is that OF
clothes and the table. Many families will
strain a point to garb themselves in the
most extravagant of apparel. though they
will live on fare so meager that they would
not invite a friend to partake of It. Then,
on the other hand, there are people who
spend quantities Of money on imported gro
out looking positively shabby. Neither Of
these have found the proper level OF ex-
pense. There are those\ who love to be
known as lavish entertainers, and who ex-
tend a beautiful and costly hospitality
much more widely than is demanded Of
them by ordinary social custom, yet their
private table will be poor, often inadequate
to the real needs OF the appetite These
are follies which have no real excuse.
As for personal expenses, women must
plan for themselves how to make them pro-
portionately equal. The eternal fitness of
things plays a large part in helping us to
keep our own level of expense, since it will
tell us that fine lingerie and cheap ready
made suit are homogeneous, and also fine
dresses with cheap lingerie. The bill for
perfumes, powders, unguents and tonics
may be out of all proportion to other bills,
and must be reduced to that level OF eX-
! pense which the income makes for each of
us. The bargain counter is a serious tempter
! into extravaganza, since a fine article at a
| low price is something which few women
can resist, and afterward one finds It alto
gether unsuitable and out of place with
ones other belongings.
| II is not always easy TO find the level OF
expense, or, having found it. to keep It..
There are no rules no formula by which It
may be sought. To attain 1t successfully
one must do as told by the little girl at
| school, Just begin, and then stay begun"

THE BLAcK SEA SITUATION.

Reports regarding the Black sea stu
alton continue to be more or less Of the
nature Of rumor and consequently con
iicting but there Is sufficient that may
be regarded as Trustworthy to show that
it is a very serious situation, from which
the government is certain to experience
great deal Of trouble before order is
restored. The mutineers who seized
the most powerful battleship in the
Black sea squadron have been instru-
mental I'm arOusing a revolutionary spirit
throughout that region which appears to
have grown into formidable proportions
and is very likely to go on spreading.
1t strikingly demonstrates how general
is the popular hostility to the govern
ment and how easy it is to call it into
activity. A like spirit has been found
to exist throughout the naval force,
otherwise short work would undoubtedly
have been made with the mutineers. But
for the fear Of a general mutlny the
Potemkine might have been captured or
sunk within forty-eight hours after it
was turned into a pirate ship.
As the situation is now represented,
the naval force in the Black sea seems
to be practically lost to the car. while
there is open or incipient rebellion In a
dozen cities which is steadily extending.
It is indeed an ugly state Of affairs for
Nicholas and the bureaucrats upon
whom he has relied. What remains Of
autocratic authority lies in the army and
the church. Thus far the army has been
found reliable. though there have been
a few isolated signs to the contrary,
and as long as this continues to be the
case the car will be secure on his
throne, for a loyal army can keep him
there. As to the church there is no dan
ger of any impairment of its fealty to
the sovereign, who is the head of the
church as well as the state. If disloy-
atty should arise in the church then, in
deed, the throne would be in peril.
1t has been remarked that the Russian
government does not really need the
Black sea fleet at this time and can re-
main unuONeu Dy llS EeNOlL as loiE as
the army remains loyal The chief dan
ger from the Black sea incident lies in
its moral effect upon the army. The
church can be depended upon to exert
all Of its powerful influence to bind the
army to the throne, but there are ele-
ments in the army which it may not be
able to control. It's influence will be
confined to those who are Russians.
Those who are not are very liable to be
affected by the growing spirit of revolt.
The autocracy is confronted by condi-
lions that threaten it's existence as never
before. What IL will do to overcome
them remains to be seen. but obviously
the first essential thing is to make peace
with Japan, which would enable the gov
eminent to withdraw its armies from
the far east, and this should be promptly
followed by some real concession to the
people, not merely bare promises.

found to be involved in the Oregon land
frauds. Mr.. Hitchcock will not tell. He is

Senator Mitchell-he adopted that name
when It became convenient years ago
for John Nipple TO disappear-was the
valuable accomplice of a band OF land
pirates who sought to make their for
tunes by robbing the government Of the
United States, that is the people of
America. Just as many otherwise thor
oughly respectable persons regard evasion
Of the customs and internal revenue laws
as at least justihable, many others think
it no harm to rob the government of
land. Mr.. Hipple-Mitchell entered the
employ OF a party OF such lawbreakers
and aided their schemes by his professional
advice and offcial influence. He did II

violating the law and rendering himself

tolerant, not too inquisitive figurehead in
the Interior department Instead, he found
a quiet, thorough, stin-necked, honest
man, who remembered nothing except his
oath of ONCE when the prosecution OF
thieves, big or little, became necessary.
Nipple Mitchell must have been surprised
when he sounded the full depths Of Ethan
