ly contribute to swell the savings OF
the nation.
Other writer's and Investigators are
quoted further ins opposition to the
Hill view, as follows:
The London Standard says: The
annual savings Of the nation are esti-
mated at about $1,000, 900 900 an
nually in the United States; the most
sanguine estimate puts it no higher
than about one-tenth of that amount
annually for Great Britain.
The National association" at Paris,
in report prepared as to the cost of
board to young man in any one Of
several countries, while studying, gives
the following figures:
Boarding in London and in other
large English cities, lunch and wash
ing not included, $3.50 per week; Ber-
lin, full board, washing not included,
$3.50 per month; France, excepting
Paris. where the cost is greater, about
s29 per month; Madrid $685.; Lisbon,
$685.; Rome, $685. Milan, 500 to
$50; Vienna, $4,000; st. Peters
! burg, $3.50 to SILL; Odessa, $5211;
Moscow, $36.67; New York City, $7.72
to 1886 per week; Mexico City, S42.50
per month.
So that the cost in New York, proba-
| bly, the most expensive city in the
| United States to live in, is as low, and
in many cases much lower, than in
any large foreign city, and even then,
this Paris statement is not any too far
vorable to New York
| J. w. Kelley, who has been studying
European conditions for two years
writes in the Boston Herald as follows:
| Americans can live far more cheaply
than can the English or the ermans
An income of 50 per day in .lis coun
try will give from 20 to 40 per cent
better living than the same income
would in any part of Western Europe
FIRST, in the way of more meats
second, greater variety and third
purer foods. Rents are lower in Amer
Iica. In fact, man earning 81 per day
cannot possibly find in Europe &C
commodations equal to those he would
be able to secure here.
Consul j. J. Britain of Prague
writes to the state department of the
advance in the cost of food in Austria
since 1907, of from 10 per cent fol
pork to so per cent for -four and 60 pei
cent for meal, adding:
For the better qualities even greater
advances have been made; almost ev
cry article entering into household ex
! penses has advanced in price.
/ Consul D. I. Murphy of ST. Gall
Switzerland, writes:
Not only have the necessities of life
risen greatly in price, but rents arr
excessively high, and wage workers
and small salaried people find it diff
cult satisfactorily to solve the problem
of comfortable existence.
The United States consul at Nan
i king, China, says that there rice cost
4 $50 per cent more than ten years age
and living in general costs vast dea
more.
!. The cost of living, this writer con
cludes, has not increased any more
nor as much, in the United States a
in free trade Britain Or in Canada, o
in other foreign countries. This il
spite of the fact that Americans liv
better as a rule than the people Of an,
other nation and naturally the averag
cost might be expected to be create
in this country.

Here is a true anecdote of Colonel
William r. Morrison, who recently
died at a good old age in his Illinois
home, after distinguished service in
the Civil war. then as a Democratic
congressman, and as civil service COM
missioner.
One winter he and Mrs. Morrison
were occupying suite Of rooms in one
of the Washington hotels and in the
middle Of the night, when a snow
storm was in progress. they We're
awakened by the news that the hotel
was on fire. Mrs. Morrison was great
ly excited, and Immediately sprang to
her feet and began to make frantic
endeavors to get to the ground, but
Mr.. Morrison, true to his every day
principle, admonished her to be calm.
Take your time" said he; dress
carefully, get together all your clothes
and Jewels, and there is no doubt we
will have no difficulty in getting down
safely either by the elevator or by
the stairs or through the firemen's eff
forts. 1t doesn't look like much Of a
fire to me-" Mrs. Morrison with great
difficulty restrained herself and pro.
ceeded as rapidly as possible to dress
and get ready. Mr.. Morrison also made
his preparations, but with greater de:
liberation. At length they were ready
and reached the ground without much
trouble.
There" said Colonel Morrison, you
see we are here safely and have not
been hurt in the least

This old maxim is especially true of

The Growth q Redwood.

Few people realize the rapidly Of
growth of the coast redwood trees of
California. Because some of the large
trees of this family are thousand years
or more in age, often attaining size
where they are larger than any other
tree, excepting the famous Big Trees,
redwood has the reputation of being a
very slow growing tree. AS matter
Of fact, redwood sprouts growing from
stumps of older trees are among the
most rapid growing Of our native trees.
To illustrate this point, the United
States forest service win exhibit at the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition in Sc
attic this summer, sections from Young
redwood sprout, together with explana-
tory diagrams showing its rate Of growth
in diameter, height and volume. This
tree. which was cut from the Dupont
Powder Works tract near Santa Cruz.
is over SO inches in circumference at
the stump, almost l25 feet in height,
and is only AZ years Of age. These di
mansions indicate a growth of over Il
inch in diameter per year, and an annual
growth Of almost 2 T-i0 feet in height.
Trees of an even more rapid growth
were seen in the Big river country bf
Mendocino county, California. where red
wood sprouts over 30 inches IN diameter
on the stump and l25 to 100 feet in
height, were found growing on land cut
over 40 to IS years ago. Redwood
sprouts thus rival i'll their rate OF growth
the much lauded eucalyptus.

Washington, April 6.--The supreme

the cases of the anthracite coal carrying
railroads, involving the constitutional
ity of the commodities clause Of the

the delay is due TO the necessity OF un.

that there may be such fundamental

to reach a conclusion.
