A Sailors christsninn.

The late Bishop Potter once in his
early days had occasion to oficiate al
q christening In q small fishing village
on the Massachusetts coast" says a
writer In the current issue Of Harper's
Weekly. 1.-THE proud father, a youne
fisherman. awkwardly holding his first
born daughter, was visibly embarrassed
under the scrutiny of the many ewes
In the congregation, and his nervous
ness was not decreased by the sudden
wailing of the infant as they stood at
the font.
"When the time for the baptism OF
the babe arrived, the bishop noticed
that the father was holding the child
50 that it's fat little legs pointed toward
the font.
Turn her this way he whispered
but the father was too Disconnected to
hear or understand.
Turn her feet around the bishop
whispered again; but still there was no
response. The situation was fast be-
coming critical. when an ancient
mariner in the back of the church came
to the rescue. Putting his weather
beaten hand to his mouth he roared
across the room: Head her up to the
wind, Jack!'"

Americas greatest Greek scholar, Is re-
ported TO have made an extraordinary
compact with scientists OF wealth,
whereby he has sold his head after
death for / 1000. Mr.. Tyler Is very
much disturbed over the suggestion OF

the report was circulated. and Profess
sor Tyler was asked for it's vertical
ton. He declined to make a direct
statement. but said that during his stu
dent days at Leipzig he believes he
made some such agreement. 4
It is because he Is reputed to have
the best shaped head In America. with
a most extraordinary brain develop

America are familiar with Professor
Tyler's head, and It is common knowl-

The Cost Of Living in New York.

mands h q living involves. Spending 60
cents for breakfast. going without lunch

that costs 30 cents and a dinner 90 cents
Is poverty. The boarding house life is
poverty; the lodging house life 10 some
thing worse, and the ordinary life in a

Sociologists claim that the lowest pos
sible yearly expense for q ~workingman

a normal standard of living, IA $3.50. The
statement was made recently by the New

mum rate OF rent on the East Side for
the barest decencies Is "a a month. Coal
costs from 10 to 10 cents a pail, q fabu-
lous price when estimated by the ton.
Yet between this poverty and the econ
omy" OF the small salaried employe who
Is compelled to adjust his earnings to
the demands OF his occupation there is
small difference. We live In New York
by the cost, rather than value of things.
An apple purchased on Fifth avenue costs
twice as much as the same apple bought
on Fourteenth street, The dollar bowery
shirt COSTS Twice as mucn on
This is the city where they pay the
price"
The ~self-Indulgent man who spends $500
a day has not saved his money out of
his wages. The woman who could not
manage her household for a season on
less than $4,000 Is not the daughter or
the wife OF a wage Garner Economical
beginners really have nc actual relation
to the existing problem of living in New
York.
What does It cost to live In New York?
