certainly increase large
ly. Lastly, the consump-
ton of fuel for domestic
purposes depends en-
tirely upon the extent
of the population; and
while the rate of future
growth may not be equal
to that of the past, there
is every reason to believe
that the population will
continue to gain indet-
nitely. So in all branches
the indications are that
the demand for fuel will
increase for a long time
to come, but will eventu-
ally reach a maximum.
After that the rate of in

mining and the intro
duction of more efficient
methods of utilization, it

realize that Notwithstanding all that has been said
about the rise in the price of living, nearly all
things considered representing the finer and
delicate enJoyments of existence a great
deal cheaper to-day than they twenty five
years ago. Most of the necessares of life, it must
be owned, have gone up; but few of them, and
practically all the Injuries have diminished in
cost by even greater proportion
There is flour, for example, the necessary of
which the staff of life" is made. Twenty-Five
years ago it cost nine dollars barrel To-day,
it may be had for six dollars and half Then,
there sugar. GRADUATED sugar in 1880 twelve
cents pound; the present price is five to six cents
Vegetables and other things put up in
lower IN price than quarter OF century ago by
They uXures of course at all events, they used
to be regarded. But the luxuries of yesterday
the necessaries of to-day, and canned foods
now SO inexpensive that even poor folks can have
them. Furthermore it should be remembered that
fresh vegetables during the greater part of the year
would be much higher if they did not have to
selected in the summer from the best obtainable,
of superior quality. At almost any season one
can buy better string beans in than at the
green grocers stall in the market.
Again, in reckoning cheapness, should
slider that the canned goods which plentiful
to-day to the housewife much waste by the
cook and not little cost of fuel. Fuel, of course,
always important item in the expense of house
keeping and the rise in the price of coal has been
considerable misfortune to people of moderate
means. 1t is only fair to acknowledge, however
that this item of increase in cities compensated for
to a large extent by gas which, utilized for
cooking purposes saves half the money formerly
spent the upkeep of the kitchen range.
Paradox in Furniture
nNE of the oldest and most paradoxical facts re-
~ lating this discussion is that furniture is de-
cdedly cheaper than used to be- though the of
wood has nearly doubled in the last twenty-five
years, and labor is much higher. In other words,
one can buy desk, table, bed set for
less money, though the materials of which
the articles are made are more expensive, and the
wages paid by the manufacturer have decidedly in
creased. Improved machinery makes the difference.
All kinds of carpets and other floor coverings are
much less expensive than they were quarter of
century ago. For one dollar and thirty-fve cents
yard one can buy to-day fine body Brussels which
would have cost two and half not long ago; or,
let us say, ordinary one for seventy-fve cents,
which would have been two dollars. This, however, is
the epoch of the rug. Where there were half
dozen rug makers in the United States twenty
years back, there are now hundreds. Every carpet
manufacturer in the country has put in rug looms,

some of the chief consumers of coal in this country
are the railroads, and railroad traffic will increase
and building will continue for many decades to
come. Steamships also consume large amount.
and doubtless the number of vessels will multiply
greatly in the future, and will demand constantly
increasing supply of fuel. General manufacturing
is certainly gaining steadily. 1t will continue to

will represent it, and consequently the true life of the
coal mining industry will be somewhere between the
estimate based present production alone and that
on a constantly increasing series.
If we accept the gradually lessenng ratios, it
seems possible that the production may continue to
increase to maximum of about fifteen thousand
million tons year by 1880, and then gradually

earnestly encouraged by physicians that they are
more hygienic than carpets, having less tendency
conceal and foster germs, especially when laid
on hardwood floors
Apartment houses which have multiplied to such
astonishing extent of late, have done a great
deal to make rugs popular, though undeniably the
circumstance that those of domestic manufacture
one-fourth cheaper than they used to be has
much to do with the matter. 1t should be added
that, might be expected, upholstery goods of all
kinds have followed the lead of carpets, and fully
twenty-five per cent cheaper than they were a
quarter OF a century ago Again, one can purchase
two handsome brass beds for not much more money
than would have cost in those days, and the
remark would apply to all sorts of other things
made of brass and copper. Practically everything in
this line has gone down at least thirty per cent in
1t is possible to-day to furnish dwelling from
top to bottom for not much more than two-thirds
the cost of twenty-five years ago and the furnish
ngs will be daintier and handsome. Take
chinaware for instance. 1t costs only half much
as it did then, for the prettily decorated kind,
though white is just about expensive as it
used to be. The decorated has come down in price
chiefly because of the substitution of the decaco-
mania method tor the old fashioned stencil and
hand painting Nowadays the pictures and designs
china, curiously enough, applied by the
process that employed by children genera
ton ago for play purposes; the decorations thus
put being either burnt in or else covered with
hard glaze, and thus rendered unaterable.
Silverware and Cut Glass
WITHIN the last fifteen years, sverware of the
per cent Forks and spoons that sold at dollar and
a half to dollar and seventy-fve ounce only so
short a time ago can be purchased to-day for a
dollar to dollar and quarter This is
due, of course to improved mechanical facilities for
production, many articles being struck with dies
that formerly had to be turned out laborious1y by
hand. In this way most silver toilet articles such
young women love to exhibit their dressing
tables, made; and one buy silver backed
hair brush hand mirror for half of what
things exactly equivalent would have cost dozen
years back.
1t is pretty much the way with cut glass
which has fallen in price at least twenty-five per
cent in the last ten years; owing mainly to the cir
cumstance that in many instances skilled workmen
in this line have started in business for them
selves, usually in couples, one man producing the
goods while his partner sells them from house to
house. The mechanical plant required being cheap
and simple these independent artisans able to
undersell the factories which eventually obliged
to meet the reduced price

much more remarkable AT thirty-tive cents dozen
