COST OF LIVING IN VENICE.
Luxuries Are Cheaper and Nccessf-
ties Dcsrer Than I'm United states.
The general IMPRESSION ia that life

Luxuries Are Cheaper and Necessi-
ties Dcsrer Than In United states.
The general impression is that life
In the United States costs more thar
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. The
cost of food in Venice apd In other
parts Of Italy as compared with the
cost OF food with us may be summed up
as follows: What with lis are luYuries
are necessities are dearer. Filets OF
beef, the best cuts OF roasts sweet
breads, game, etc, are 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 ~ or 13 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 us and are much more fiuctuat-
ing than meat The poorer Venetans
Of course, are able to buy fish at a
price much below that which the for
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 8 or cents less a pound than
poultry Of the corresponding grade al
home But there are no cheap meats
such as corned beef or spare ribs OF
pigs heads-dear to the poor house
keeper of New York or New England
The consequence is that the poor Vene
tian rarely eats meat at all.
Neither does he buy refined salt; thu
tax of the government is so high tina
no contents himself with rock salt
and tea, while sugar costs 10 cents ,
pound. The fruit supply of Italy II
superb. but the making OF preserves
either by the housekeepers or factories
Is rare on account Of the absurdly higi
price OF sugar Butter Is 30 cents
pound On the other hand, fruit ant
vegetables are cheap. There are in tn,
market a great variety Of dried peas
beans and lentlls, which are nutritiou
and which. you may be sure. the Vene
tian knows how to use
In spite OF the greater cost of 81
many foods in Venice you can set al
good table there as you would a
home for a smaller sum. and that 70,
are able to do so is because of thu
economical hand-to-mouth way of mar

. Tho C.u.. of Indian summer.


As the boys and girls all know, we
Usually have a season OF conlparatl'eiy
uiild, hazy weather some time In NO
vember, to which has been given the
name OF Indian summer. Familiar as
the phenomenon is, however, few people
know what causes 1t, chiefly, perhaps,
because they never tried to find out
Most Of the scientists attribute the
mildness OF the air at that time to
change in the condition Of the stinos-
phere, which Confines In the lower
strata the heat radiated from the
earth's surface This explanation is
not wholly satisfactory to a layman,
but 1t seems to be the best that sci
entists can do for us. The hazy con
dltion OF the air at that time is more
easily explained 1t is due to the de-
cay or the slow chemical combustion OF
leaves, grasses and other vegetable mat
ter under the combined action of frost
and the sun. As to the name, Indian
summer - several explanations have
been given of that, the most plausible
being that the early settlers called 1t so
because they believed that the smoky
appearance at that time was caused by
forest and prairie fires kindled by the
Indians. Some people think that the
name came from the fact that the In
dians took advantage Of that period
lay In their winter supply OF game.

"a single magpie in spring
Foul weather will bring"
Like many other familiar sayings
this is founded on a close observation
Of the habits of the birds. Their in
stinct tells them when a storm Is COM
ing, and one stays on the nest, to pro-
tect the eggs, or the young, If they have
been Matched, while the other goes off
in search of food. In good weather
both birds go on the search. Sea- gulls
fly to the land during a storm, not be-
cause they are afraid OF 1t, but be-
cause the fishes, on which they live,
principally, leave the surface of the
water while the storm lasts, and go
below. The gulls must have something
to eat, however, so they fly to the
land and feed on the worms and larvae
that the rain drives out of the ground.
Petrels, on the contrary, fly out over
the sea during storm, because they
feed on the insects that are to be found
in abundance about the spray Of the
waves.
