COST OF LIVING NOWADAYS.
Has 1t Como Down Since the Panic
of 1907 or NOt9

Has IT Como Down Since the Panic
of 1907 or NOt9
The London Economist figures a de-
cline In average cost of commodities
during the first four months of 1908
Of { per cent and a decline from the
high point Of last year to May Of 1912
per cent Bradstreet's index number
Of New York prices shows a fall here
Of 1924 per cent from the high level
of last year. Both agree that staple
prices are now the lowest III three
years.
But this conclusion is likely to be
disputed by any householder. His liv-
ing expenses have not decreased, ex-
cept through buying less; the average
citizen willssay it now costs more to
live than before the panic And he
Is right, If necessaries Of life alone
are considered. Bread and meat,
which enter first into actual daily cost
Of living, show in the one case an adj
vance Of just % per cent over March,
1907, and for the other a decline Of 2
per cent-this latter being in whole
sale prices, and probably not reaching
the consumer.
Bradstreet's figures show that
prices Of packed provisions are down
9 per cent from last year, fruits 30
per cent, and leather, textiles, drugs
coal and oil something like 10 per
cent But they do not reckon in the
price of canned vegetables, which, as
with flour, are higher, because Of the
bad growing weather Of 1907, or the
numerous preserves into whose compo-
sition enters sugar, which has ad-
vanced in price Instead, the Brad
streets table includes metals like
iron, tin and copper, which have fall
en- 80 to so per cent from a year ago,
but which cut an altogether minor fig
ure in current expenses.
The best sign Of future reduction
In cost of living is the promise of good
crops in 1908; the worst is the reviv-
ing tendency to speculate rise In
prices. The most perplexing consider
alton is, who got or Is getting the
benefit Of the fall In meat and cotton
goods at first hand? Not the consum-
er, apparently.

STUCK IN THE ASPHALT.

Secretary Taft's Experience OF
Newly Paved Street.
Certain anxious engineers Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia are seeking to ascer-
tain to whom they shall charge $269.87
worth Of asphalt In which Secretary
Taft foundered and from which be was
rescued with difficulty.
One evening recently the Secretary
and Arthur I. Yorys, Of Ohio, his cam
paign manager, dined at the New Will
lard with Senator Warner. At $50
the department carriage called for the
pair, and they started for the War De-
partment. Pat McQuade, driver OF
Secretaries of War for more than forty
years, was on the box.
The fast-trottlng bays whirled the
carriage around the White House ell
lipse and into 18th street on the west
side Of the State, War and Navy build
ing. Then their pace was almost In
stantly checked and McQuade came
near to being flung from his seat. AT
the same moment a squat man, with
a Hibernian accent and an inspiring
flow Of profanity, rushed out OF the
darkness, waving his arm.
"Git out av it! Git out av til" he
shrilled. Don't yez know It's wet
asphalt yer drivin' in?"
"Gwan; sure I've got the Secretary
Of War wild me-" retorted McQuade,
scornfully.
"Oi don't care If we've got the Prist-
dent Of the United States; git out av
It." insisted the Waterman.
Lets get out Of here, Vorys," said
Taft, after he had listened for mo-
ment to the argument between the
Waterman and the coachman. He
walked forward a pace and stuck.
Vorys, profting by the experience Of
his chief, perched for a moment on
the edge Of the carriage, like a bird
poised for flight, and then Jumped wide.
He nearly went down in the sticky
stuff, but righted himself quickly and
made for the sidewalk. Being much
lighter than Taft, he finally made solid
footing.
The street at this point Is wide, and
although the Secretary Of War was
making a valiant fight, he was get
ting begged worse and worse in the
morass. Vorys at last found board,
which he dragged to the curb and
thrust into the quagmire.
Then he walked upon it and lent the
Secretary a helping hand. 1t required
some work to get the Taft feet loose,
and at one time they discussed the adj
visibility Of cutting the Secretary's
shoelace and leaving the shoes, but
eventually the rescue was effected.

MEDIAEvAL PoMP FOR KAISER
Hera1ds, squires and Bedizened Pal

HeraIds, SQuires and Bedizened Pal
freys at 18th Century Ceremony.
Emperor William gratified his love
for the pomp and show Of feudal
times at the dedicating Of the restored
Hohen-Koenigsburg, one Of the most
ancient castles in lower Alsace, says
a New York World dispatch from
Strassburg. The restoration cost
$550,000.
The emperor and empress, accom-
panied by a brilliant suite, arrived
there from Vienna for the ceremony,
which was designed with elaborate re
gard for the customs of many centu-
ries ago, the castle dating back to the
thirteenth century.
1t passed into the possession Of the
emperor In 1899, and since then 1t has
been in process of restoration under
the direction Of Prof. Bodo Ebhardt,
the recognized authority on ancient
castles.
Other antiquarians find fault with
the restoration, claiming it does not
SSOON
in the days Of feudal splender. The
castle, however, experienced several
architectural changes In bygone centu-
ries. In 1862 it was partly destroyed
by the bishop Of StrassDurg. 1t was
restored, but in 1858 1t again suffered
when it was bombarded and burned
by the Swedes.
Wednesdays ceremony was most
brilliant. In front of the castle gates
a medieval tent was pitched from
which the emperor, the empress and
their guests watched the historical en-
try Of the brothers Won Sickingen
when the latter received the castle
from the imperial warden, or when
in other words, the castle passed from
imperial into private possession.
Trumpets sounded a fanfare, the
castle gates were opened, and from
the forest at the foot Of the hill came
herald, who recited a prologue. Then
a procession marched up the hill and
passed before the emperor into the
castleyard. The three brothers Won
Sickingen, on magnifcently caparison
ed palfreys, rode at the head, follow
ed by a squire bearing their standard
with blunderbuses, two-handed swords
and long pixies of the period, pieces OF
artillery from the thirty years war
forage carts, ammunition wagons
camp followers, squires and huntsmen
Extraordinary care had been taken
to reproduce exactly the uniforms and
accouterments Of medieval German
soldiery and many Of the weapons car
ried were originals from private col
leCtions.
After a banquet in the Hall Of the
Burg, at which the emperor presided
the procession reformed and marched
through the gayly decorated streets OF
Schlettstadt.

MEXICO CITY POLICE.
Street Lanterns that Keep Them
VigiIant at Night.

VigiIant at Night.
when l visited Mexico" said an
artist, ST found innumerable things of
interest, but that which gained my
notice particularly was the police sys-
TEN. In the City Of Mexico the police
at night are stationed at short inter
walls apart in the street. Each police
man has a lantern, which is placed on
a stand in the center of the street. It
is his duty to remain in easy striking
distance Of the lantern at all times,
so that he will be on hand in case Of
an emergency.
"Any person who is able to reach
the lamp and lift it from it's hook be-
fore the policeman interferes is entitled
TO a reward Of $780, Any policeman
who loses his lantern is subject to In
slant and dishonorable dismissal. This
is to insure constant vigilance on their
part and to require their presence at
4 certain point at all times. At first
regarded the thing as a joke, and !
tried to get possession Of the police
lantern. But then I found that l was
greatly mistaken. Not once, although
T exercised extreme caution, was
quick enough for the policeman oD
watch.

deavoring to obtain money on false

She turned and left them.
Left together, Mr.. Snider told Mr..
Cadgitt his opinion of him with what
politicians would call mo uncertain
voice" Mr.. Cadgitt, at loss for YER
bal retaliation, replied by a blow on
the Jaw. The ensuing fight was watch
ed by one or two urchins truant from
school: and from their reports it was
generally conceded in the village that
the battle of Inkerman itself could
have been nothing to it.

Rest Time to Smoke.

1e is quite certain that much may
be done to diminish the risk Of tobac-
co amblyopla by paying attention tc
certain points Of personal hygiene
says Hospital.
For instance, a rule should be made
never to smoke upon an empty stom-
ach. but as far as possible only after
meals. It is absolutely bad to smoke
before dinner, and equally bad to
smoke late at night to keep awake at
ones work.
1t should also be forbidden to chew
the cigar between the teeth, as many
smokers are wont to do.
