Good Breeding Changes But Littlo.

It is astonishing to see how little the
standard of good manners seems to
have changed since the Middle Ages.
The strenuous life and the higher
education have not altered our con-
ception of the laws of good breeding
even If they leave us little time for
the carrying out OF them, and the rules
of conduct upon which we have al
been brought up are in many respects
the same to-day as those propounded
in the manuals of etiquette of hun.
dreds of years ago.

COST OF LIVING
AT ITS HIGHEST
BradStreet'S Shows Upward
Advance Of Ninety Six
Commodities

NEW YORK Jan. 25.-Bradstreets ts
has compiled a record Of priees on 96
commodities that enter into daily and
direct consumption by the people, and
the result shows that the cost OF liv-
ing has now reached an absolutely high
record. exceeding even that OF March
/. 1907. when prices went soaring in
anticipation Of the panic which came
In the fall Of that year. The figures
for December I last were below the
previous high record of 1907. but tho
continuous skyward movement Of
prices in the last month OF 1903 had
established a new highwator mark by
January I.
The figures compiled by Bradstreets
are known as Index Numbers They
are based on actual wholesale quota
tions per pound for the commodities
IN question. which. to make them COM
prehensive. are averaged over a wide
area OF markets. When II Is said that
the index number for January /, 1910,
was s.23.1O. Il means that a man buy
ing az wholesale one pound each Of
the 96 commodities on that date would
have to pay that sum as a total NO
attempt Is made 10 compute retail
prices because Of the wide fluctuations.
The new number" surpasses the
previous high record Of March ], 1907,
Se,i29s by IL per cent. This ratio
also measures the advance that was
made on the 96 commodities in the
month OF December last At the same
time the present index number re-
fleets a gain Of 11.7 over January !,
1909 which means that the prices of
the 96 articles rose approximately 81
cents within years time. The low
est point for commodity prices for
which Bradstreet's have any record was
touched on July 1, 1885 when the index
number was s5.7O19 The latest figure
shows a gain OF more than 81 per cent
over this number indicating. of course
that for every dollar you spend then
for living expenses you are spending
si.61 cents now.
A Comparative Table.
The new index number mirrors ar
increase OF 1875 per cent. over the
comparatively low point reached or
June I. 1908. but It is only SO pei
cent. over January 1, 1907, also time
Of ascending prices as forerunners oi
the panic The gain over January 1
1908, is 10.s per cent. while the rise
over the same date in 1905 is 14.2 pei
cent. and increase of January, 1904
Is 1916 per cent.

SELECT COED LAYING STOCK
Use OF Trap Nests is Sure Way to

In keeping chickens much depends
on the breeding stock. There are sew.

what hens will produce eggs that will
hatch out good layers, but about the
safest way is to use eggs from hens
that are known to be hardy. The only

While the chickens from such eggs
are generally not so large at maturity
as those from older hens, they do not
appear to lack constitution or vigor
and there is no apparent reason why
they are not desirable for breeding
purposes
Pullets which begin laying first or
the ones that start when quite young
are generally the best breeders. 1t is
not the largest birds OF any particular
breed that are the best, but usually
the medium-slzed fowls. Early laying
is an indication of strong bird: by
using the eggs from such fowls, It will
not take long to produce strain of
layers that will fll the egg basket in
winter, as well as in the early spring

any wonder that the water supply for

time? In fact, water composes such a
