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 us, and are much more huctuat- ing than meat. The poorer Venetians, of course. are able to buy fish at a price much below that which the for eigner must pay. As far as our experi- ence went, only the very best poultry is procurable in Venice; the tough and venerable rooster never appears in the market, and the fowls are all dry pick ed. and never kept on ice. This poultry costs three or four cents less a pound than poultry of the cores bonding grade at home. But there are no cheap meats, such as corned beef, or spare ribs, or pigs heads-dear to the poor housekeeper of New York or New England. The consequence is that the poor Venetian rarely eats meat at all. Neither does he buy re- fined salt; the tax of the government is so high that he contents himself with rock salt Flour is dearer, so is cornmeal, coffee and tea, while sugar costs 16 cents pound. The supply of Italy is superb, but the making of pre- serves, either by the housekeepers of factories, is rare on account of the ab- surdly high price of sugar. Butter is 30 cents @ pound. On the other hand, fruit and vegetables are cheap. There are in the market great variety of dried peas, beans and lentils, 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 a table there as you would at home for smaller sum, and that you are able to do so is because of the economical hand to mouth way of marketing, the economical habits of your Italian cook, and also that the average cook in the north of Italy is far better cook than average cook at home.
 As to the other items in our budget; Maria Immaceolata is well paid in Ven- ice with $5 month. You can get a man cook cook for $10, and an inside man for $6. Venetian families frequent ly pay their gondoliers only 50 cents a day without food; an excellent seam tress may be had for 30 cents a day and her meals.-Pilgrirn.

AN rEREsrTNG sITUArIoN.

The President omitted Ito say in his message what some people at one time expected he would say about the tariff, but some people are still thinking about it. So thirty-seven bills relating to the tariff have been introduced in the House alone. and nearly every one of them proposes more or less sweeping reductions in the existing Dingley rates. It is significant. also, that nine-tenths of these measures were presented by Republican members. A strong demand for revision of the present tariff sched- ules exists among Republican members of the House. Nothing has occurred to bring the sentiment to a head, but, on the contrary, all the influences have been in the direction of suppressing the feeling. But it is encountered every where, and the question is constantly being asked, How long can it be held in check?
 AS was the case two years ago, when the revisionists started revolt in the House, the anti-tariff men now are from the Middle-West. They come from Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin. They are not alone agri- culturists who seek markets for their surplus farm commodities, but are men who represent large and important manufacturing sections. And they are still talking about the possibility of having the existing rates shaved down by legislative act before the expira- tion of the present session.
 It is an interesting situation. But perhaps 1t can be solemnlya said that the time Is not yet ripe for a revision of the tariff.

COST OF LIVING IN VENICE.
 The general impression is that life in the United States costs more than else- where. Speaking generally, you could say that rents in the city for good apartments cost less in Europe. Service also costs less. while light and fuel cost much more. The cost of food in Venice and in other parts of Italy as compared with cost of food with us may be summed up as follows: What with us are luxuries are cheaper in Italy, what with us are necessities are dearer. FflIets of beef, the best cuts of roasts, sweetbreads, game, etc, are all cheaper, the poorer cuts of meat are dearer. The best chops for instance. are 15 cents pound. and the cheap est stew meat of mutton F or 13 cents. Nor do these figures tell the whole

4 FINE SHOK.

Life isn't all tame yet. That was worth seeing when the Princess of Wales went to the Bombay Hall, at- tended only by lady in waiting, to receive an address from Indian ladies. The small escort of native cavalry could scarcely keep the cheering crowds away from the wheels of the carriage. This was the first time that Indian ladies'" as body had ever taken part in any such ceremony. In the proceedings, there were Parsee, Hindu and Mohammedan rites to en- sure that all blessings should fall upon the princess and to guard her against the approach of any evil influences. Schoolgirls singing the national an- them and scattering flowers, added character to the scene on the steps where the Parsee and Hindu ceremo- nies were performed. At the entrance to the reception hall the Mohammedan ceremony was performed, which inclu- ded the tender of gold and silver coins, which were touched and remitted, the money being assigned for the benefit of the poor. The interior of the hall, brilliant with many colored lights blazing upon the rich kinkob decora- tions in pure gold and silver embroi- dery, furnished marvelously beauti- full Oriental spectacle. Ladies in efful- gent dresses distinctive of their nation- ality filled the open spaces between the rows of decorated pillars, while the Peacock Throne at the end of the room was resplendent in crimson and gold. The princess, on the throne, was famed by two ladies with large gold covered Indian fans. When she took her departure her enthusiastic enter tainers showered her with real pearls. Nothing of the kind has ever hap pened in India before.

Ernest Kreft of Philadelphia, who died recesntly in that city at the age of forty-two, was one of the foremost labor leaders in the country. For a time he was editor of a German news paper in Harrisburg, During his life he was chosen on nearly every irnpor- tant committee named to adjust labor disputes in his city, not only by the printers, but by painters, brewery workers, and unions of various sorts. He was respected by the employers as well as the workers. MT. Kreft was a socialist, and two years ago was can idate against Samuel Gompers for the presidency of the American Federation of Labor.

The Rev. Edward Lloyd Jones, of Manchester, England, is credited with having originated the phrase ''the Grand Old Man" as applied to MT. Gladstone. During the Irish agitation it became necessary that detectives should follow MT. Gladstone for the purpose of protection, and as the Lib eral leader lived at Hawarden, in Flint nhire, that county, then governed by Quarter Sessions, was asked to pay the bill. The magistrates, nearly all Tories in those days, objected, Whereupon MT. Lloyd Jones, who was then a min- ister at Rhyl, promptly called an indig- nation meeting. He asked a lawyer who was present to state whether, if the life of a common tramp was in peril, 1t was not the duty of the county to protect him. The lawyer said that un- doubtedly it was. "Then," shouted MT. Jones, If it is the duty of this county to protect the beggar at our doors. are we going to allow the precious life of that grand old man at Hawarden to go unprotected?" That meeting set tied the Quarter Sessions objections, and the title stuck.

Inquiry is to be made by the Illi- nois authorities to determine whether there is due thesstate treasury from the Illinois Central Railroad company a very large amount of money in back taxes. The railroad claims that it dis charges its obligations to the State in full when it pays per cent. of its gross receipts from its charter lines into the State treasury, and accordingly it has listed no other property with the au- aitor for taxation since 1859. It is now claimed that about ssS,OOO,OOO may be due to the State and that 1t was depriv- Cd of a share of it's gross receipts by the diverting of freight traffic over branch lines having only a traffic agree merIt with the Illinois Central.
