Cost Of Living In Venice.
From the Pilgrim


The general impression Is that life In the
United States costs more than elsewhere.
Speaking generally. you could say that
rent in the city for good apartments costs
less than In Europe. Service also costs
less, while light and fuel cost much more.
Ihe cost OF food In Venice and in other
parts OF Italy as compared with the cost
OF FOOD with us may be summed up as fol-
lows: What with us are Injuries are
cheaper In Italy; what with us are neces-
stiles are dearer. Fillets of beef the best
cuts of roasts. sweetbreaGs, game. etc. ara
all cheaper: the poorer cuts of meat are
dearer. The best chops, for INSTANCE are
10 cents pound and the cheapest stew
meat OF mutton u or Is cents. Nor do
these figures tell the whole story, for the
meat is trimmed very much closer. to the
advantage Of the buyer Of the finer cuts.
The prices of fish vary more than with
u.s. and are much more f1uctuating Than
meat. The poorer Yenetians Of course, are
able to buy fish at a price much below that
which the foreigner must pay AS far az
our experience went, only the very best
poultry Is procurable in Venice; the tough
and venerable rooster never appears in the
market, and the fowls are ali dry picked,
and never kept on ice This poultry costs
. or cents less pound than poultry of
the corresponding grade at home But
there are no cheap meats such as corned
peer, or spare ribs. or pigs heads-dear to
liio pooE houStheepSf Oh new YORK or New
England. The consequence is that the Door
Venetian rarely eats meat at ALL Neither
does ne buy refined salt; the tax OF the
government Is SO high that he contents
himself with rock salt. Flour is dearer. 20
is cornmeal. coffee and tea, while sugar
costs 10 cents pound. The fruit supply of
Italy Is superb, but the making Of pre-
SERVES. either by the housekeepers or fac
tories, is rare on account OF the absurdly
high price OF sugar. Butter is 80 cents
pound. On the other hand fruit and veg
etables are cheap. There are in the mar
ket q great variety OF dried peas, beans
and ientils, which are nutritious and
which, you may be sure, the Venetian
knows how to use. In spite of the greater
cost of SO many foods IN Venice. you can
set as good table there as you would at
home for a smaller sum, and that you are
able to do SO Is because of the economical
hand-to-mouth way of marketing, the eco
nomical habits of your Italian cook, and
also that the average cook In the north OF
Italy Is far better cook than the average
cook at home
As to the other items IN our budget;
Maria Immaceolata Is well paid in Venice
with IS month You can get man cook
for $40 and an inside man for Sc. Venetian
families frequently pay their gondoliers
only 90 cents q day without food; an ex-
celtent seamstress may be had for 80 cents
a day and her meals.

But there is neither tho simplicity OF form
nor the breadth Of interest which our best

need not be. 1t may be az true Of q Jour-
nal as Of humanity that consistency Is a

sincerity Of criticism and less indulgence In

DO not let me conclude" added Mr.
Hall Caine, without saying that should
be sorry IL any criticisms OF mine on Amer

able impression Nowhere Is the English
man so much at home outside his own coun-
Try as when he travels In the United States;
nowhere SO sure OF an immediate and

The Story Of the Cranberry.
From Pearson,s Magazine.

The history OF the cranberry can be told
on bit OF parchment no larger than the
fruit itself. but to Judge It's interest by Its
length would be like ranking the berry's
Importance By Its weight. The cranberry,
to begin with the day OF its christening.
was so named because its sponsors fancied
that Its bud resembled a crane; and. in
truth, Just before the bud expands into the
perfect flower with stem. calyx and petals.
1t resembles the neck, head and bill OF that
dubbed CRANBERRY" popularized into cram
berry.
Like all families of importance in the
agricultural race the cranberry has an i'm
posing genealogy; ats European fofebears
belonged to the clan Of the Vaocinium oxy-
coccus; how long the American branch, Or
the macrocarpon, has been established here
nobody knows, but II began to attract at
tention about 100 years ago. Its acquafnt-
ance was first cultivated In the Cape Cod
region of Observation-Disclosures England has

About 6 Oper cent of the family are born

The Birds.

From the London Spectator.
The birds that come to us In spring, when
fieecy sunlit clouds are dropping yerdure
on the meadows and we tread on budding
flowers at every step We take, are like our
own particular familiar friends. No mere
visitors In our locality. they come to stay
with US. In our orchards and our woods
they are at home. and they know the open
ways among our garden trees Some of
them before now have known the shelter
or our roofs. and others the hospitable se-
curity of the Towering creeper around our
window-sills- So. whether they be old birds
returning year after year to the same
place, or only nestlings of season that
have winged long ocean voyages on the
Renaissance OF joyous youth. they come
with the happy certainty of welcome
guests They bring us news of clearer
skies and frightening days. There Is no
reticence with them from first to last We
arc admitted to an intimate CONFIDENTIAL
knowledge OF the Inner secrets of their prf-
yate lives. We watch the martins flying
as they work like brickiayers and slowly
raise their wall of mud. We note their
lcye-idyll as they cling together to the un-
finished home. and overhear the whispered
twitter In which they exchange their gentle
oaths of love.
We share with them the delightful cares
of furnishing, as they carry the feathers
to spread couch as soft as eiderdown;
and the joys OF parentage. when the dedg-
lings crowd to the open door preparing to
take flight. Or at the foot of the hedge-
row bank we may find the cradle OF the
.chifr-chan or the wilIow-wren; and under
meath its protecting hood, through the soft
notified shadow of trembling leaves and
grasses. discover Its secret treasure of
eggs or callow young. We listen to the
blackcap hidden amongst a wonder OF or
chard blossom more delfcately beautiful
than monday dream. We see the way OF
the little spotted dycatcher that perches
on our garden rail- and makes those rapid
brief excursions to catch his unwary prey.
To our sympathetic attention nothing Is
denied. The birds OF spring and summer
have nothing to withhold. Thsy speak to

The Cairo Of the Future.
nm tha rondon STANDARD

So popular is Cairo becoming. especially
during the winter months. that there is some
anxiety locally as to how Its accommodation
can be extended. Runnors have been spread
to the effect that European syndicate has
approached the ministry Of finance with q
view to the acquisition of large tract of
desert land west OF the Pyramids for build
ing purposes II the request were granted q
new down would rise almost under the
shadow of the Sphinx and the Pyramids.
and Egypt's capital would then extend to
the site of the ancient monuments.
Inquiry from those best qualified to know
however. ELECTED no confirmation OF suoh q
vandalistic suggestion. On the other hand,
the theory was decidedly negatiyed. Col.
Gordon, who lived for sixteen years in Cairo,
stated that such q thing would never come
to pass during Lord Cromers tenure of Of
fice. Il would be contrary to all desires OF
students of Egyptology. and the khedive
would never be likely TO support It. Should
Il be found necessary to extend the city, the
extension, said the colonel. would be toward
the site OF the old town and not on the
other side Of the river.
