a house loaned for the purpose
Hank, instead of struggling with his fellows on
the outside stole pitchfork went inside the house
and speared the pies one by one from the second
story window. Then to rub in the defeat inflicted
upon the rest of the convention he sat on the sill
of the open window and slowly munched the pastry
delicacies, to the discontinue of several hundred
upturned hungry faces.
Several weeks before the session was called to
order Slothful Sam appeared an advance guard
of the army of the unwashed and prepared set
of rules, which were turned over to the meeting,
but were turned down by unanimous vote, the
members fearing they might infict punishment up
on themselves by voting for the proposed regula
tons.
Following were Sans proposals.
That months growth of beard be made the
maximum.
That special refrigerator be provided for
tanks.
That questionable touring anecdotes be punished
according to the veracity of the tales
That any member guilty of work be made to toll
and wash daily.
That hoboes found guilty of aiding in perpetual

That thorough tests, mental and physical be pro-

That beer be made the official drink of the order
That water be stunned with customary regular

President Weary Willie pointed that these rules
showed the deep thought of Slothful Sam. The
president ruled that man guilty of thinking should
be watched, for he might work So fearful lest there
should be joker concealed somewhere within the
resolutions, the convention turned them down fiat.

So that ended Slothful Sans great COUP He said
he thought he had a great idea, but he had not
figured that in nursing his plans he had infringed
upon of the most sacred traditions of his

Before members were allowed to enter the field
in which the convention was held thorough in

himself when he found the committee upon the

COST OF LIVING IN VENICE.

Luxurtes Are Cheaper and Necessi-
ties Dearer Than in United States.
The general impression Is that life
In the United States costs more than
elsewhere. Speaking generally, you
could say that rent In the city foI
good apartments costs less than 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 the
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. Fillets 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 Is cents
pound and the cheapest stew meat Of
mutton u or ID 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 fluctuat-
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 expert
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 3 or cents less a pound than
poultry Of the corresponding grade at
home. But there are no cheap meats,
such as corned beef or spare ribs or
pigs heads-dear to the poor house
keeper OF New York or New England
The consequence Is that the poor Vene,
tan rarely eats meat at all.
Neither does he buy refined SALT the
tax of the government Is so high that
he contents himself with rock salt

superb, but the making of preserves
either by the housekeepers or factories
Is rare on account OF the absurdly high
price Of sugar. Butter Is 80 cents q
pound. On the other hand, fruit and
vegetables are cheap. There are In the
market a great variety of dried peas
beans and lentils. which are nutritious
and which, you may be sure, the Vene-
tan knows how to use.
In spite Of the greater cost of SO

The Cause of Indian Summer.
~~~~N~~~~~N

AS the boys and girls all know, we
Usually have season OF comparatively
mild, haEy 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 It, chiefly, perhaps,
because they never tried to find out
Most Of the scientists attribute the
mildneSs Of the air at that time TO a
change in the condition of the atmos-
phere, which confines In the lower
strata the heat radlated 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 haLy con-
dition 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 it 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
dams took advantage Of that period
lay In their winter supply OF game.
