Food in fancy packages, instead OF
in bulk, is a contributing factor in the
much discussed high cost of living
problem. Mr.. Palmer, the Massachu-
sets commissioner of weights and
measures, has been Investigating the
question, and he finds, among other
things, that sliced bacon, for which
there is a large sale in jars at sixty
cents a pound, a be purchased in
bulk at twenty-five to thirty cents;
rolled oats in packages are seven and
a half a pound and in bulk three and
a half cents; cornmeal in packages
five and a half cents, in bulk two and
a half cents. Mr.. Palmer found that
rice partly cooked and sold in pack
ages found plenty of buyers at thirty
one and a half cents a pound, while
uncooked rice sold in bulk was OBJ.
tainable at eight cents a pound. Pur-
veyors of these staples fully appre-
ciate the value of fancy packages, but
their use is undoubtedly costing the
consumers a great many millions,
which might be saved without caus
ing any suffering or s~elf-denial.-

weather conditions. During the
three days of battle, July 1, 2 and 8,
1863, the warmest portion of the
year, the usual heat was much miti-
gated by light breezes, the u being
frequently yelled by clouds, yet no
rain fell until the afternoon of the
4th. Seventy-six degrees marked the
extreme heat the first day, eighty
one degrees the second, eighty-seven
degrees the third; the average for
the entire three days was seventy
seven degrees. The first days fight
was a triumph for the Confederates;
the second ended without securing to
them any decided advantage, al
though the fighting of that day was
a series of bravely desperate as
saults, which have written the names
of the Peach Orchard and the Wheat
field upon one of the bloddiest pages
of American history; the third day
closed leaving the Confederates re-
pulsed at every point, after which
they withdrew from the field and re-
tired the following day in good order.
The Federal loss during the three
days fight was 1854 killed and
wounded and 1855 missing (made
prisoners. Total, 23,O49. The Con-

DepeW on Paris.

Senator Depew, lamenting at a din
ner in Washington the recent flood,
said:
"How delightful Paris is! Almost
too delightful for study.
ga friend of mine sent his son to
Paris to study architecture at the
Ecole des Beaux Arts. Then the fol-
lowing June-in time for the Grand
Prix, you know = my friend went
over to Paris to see how his boy was
getting on.
1.-THE boy said he was getting on ia
mously. Father and son, after a de-
lightful luncheon under a tree at Ar
%menonville, went sightseeing.
GAS they drove in their taxicab
down a quiet, old-fashioned street
near the Seine the fathers interest
was excited by 4 fine, imposing build
ing, with a spacious courtyard full of
fragments of %statuary, fine old bits of
stone carving, casts and so on.

asked.

States. Six and one-half miles south
of Gettysburg, Pa, they crossed Ma
son and Dixon's line and stood on
Northern soil. The Union forces
started In pursuit on the 18th and
followed with energy on the Confed-
crate right flank, keeping well be-
tween Lees command and Washing
ton. A mountain range intersprsed
a screen between the two grand ar
mics.
Much misunderstanding exists
among the uninitiated visitors to the
| battlefield as to why Lee advanced
| from the north on Gettysburg, while
the Northern troops held a position
to the south of the invading army.
This is readily explained by the fact
that the Southerners had penetrated
| some thirty-seven miles beyond Get
tysburg, had occupied Carlisle and
| York, Pa, with Harrisburg, the cap
ital of the State, as their objective
| point. Alarmed for the safety of the
| Confederate capital in Virginia, and
| apprehensive that Hooker might in
tervene between himself and Rich
mond, Lee had turned backward with
orders to his corps commanders to
concentrate their forces at Gettys-
burg, then a peaceful farming viii
lage of 2100 souls, but thereafter to
be celebrated so long as history lasts
as ""The Waterloo of America" Here
the flood tide of the Rebellion reached
high-water mark. The decisive vic
tory of Meade cheered the Northern
hearts and nerved their arms for the
arduous campaign which eliminated
in the surrender of Lee at Appomat-
tax.

Little children, gravely marching
With your garlands gay,
Something bring beside the flowers
To these graves to-day.
Bring a love of truth and valor
And of brave deeds done,
Bring a tribute to all heroes
Underneath the sun.
Not alone to those who persisted
In the eager fight,
But to all who've lived and labored
Ever for the right.
To the patient, brave endurance
Of an unearned pain;
To the strife for truth and honor,
Earnest. though in vain.
Thus, with noble emulation,
High resolve and pure.
Shall you, hope of all our Nation,
Make her future sure.

The hospital and camp;
The stirring thrill of fife and drum;
The hurried onward tramp;
The silent bivouac meath the stars;
The night before the fight;
Forget the lonely picket line?
The bullets whistling flight?
Slow, shutting are the hating steps
That strive along the route;
And dim the eyes hat answer back
To comrades mastering out.
The roll is called. Who answers now?
On sick leave, or away?
On furloughs to the Better Land?

In the dream of northern poets,
The brave who in battle die
Fight on in the shadowy phalanx
In the fields of the upper sky;
And, as we read the sounding rhyme,
The reverent fancy hears
The ghostly ring of the viewless swords
And the clash of the spectral spears.
We think with imperious questionings
Of the brothers whom we have lost,
The flight of each valiant ghost.
The northern myth comes back to us,
And we feel through our sorrows night
That those young souls are striving still
Somewhere for truth and right.
