1t has been estimated that to re-
build the pyramid OF Cheops under
modern conditions an expenditure OF
100000, 600 would be necessary and
the labor of 10000 men for two years
required.
1t has been calculated that the work
really required the services of 100000
men for thirty years.
The pyramid occupies a space of
twelve and three-quarters acres, is 746
feet high and contains about 1896
600 cubic yards of stone and gran
ite.
The material alone represents an
item of $50 900, while the labor
would increase this amount TO Si2,-
100000. To this must be added s3,-
100000 for tools, transportation, and
similar items.
The pyramid is built on a solid rock
$50 feet deep. and to build founda-
tion of this character would add to

EAT CHOCOLATE WITH FRUIT
losai Food Combination According to
Writer Who Claims to Know
Whereof He Speaks.

Some silly things have recently
been said about chocolate, which have
attempted with some air of authority
to discount its value as an article Of
food, says the Lancet. Practical ex-
perience of course long ago decided
IN favor CT the view that chocolate is
a good sustaining food, and this find
Ing is not surprising, having regard to
the food substances which well-made
chocolate contains.
Chocolate has been employed for
its staying powers and its nutritive
properties with considerable success
in army maneuvers.
Chocolate can only do harm, in COM
mon with all good foods, when eaten
to excess. Chocolate contains from
II to about 60 per cent of sugar,
from 20 to As per cent of fat, from 4
to II per cent Of heterogeneous matter,
from 2 to per cent Of mineral mat
ter, and about OTIS per cent Of theo.
bromine. 1t is therefore sweetmeat,
food and stimulant.
Thus far the Lancet. Now comes
DR.. ]. Sim Wallace. an eminent Lon
don dentist, with a letter asserting
that chocolate does a vast amount OF
harm, especially to the teeth, by being
eaten be.weeR meals and before going
to bed. He says it should be eaten
toward the end Of meal and should
always be followed by fresh fruit

That Some Have Held,

AS the result of investigations car

ment Of labor among 1000 household
ers, it was found that the worker with
no family spends very nearly the same
sum weekly on food as the heads OF
families, but saves in rent, clothing
and other items, and at each week end
has a surplus of SO cents, says the
London Globe. Apparently he buys
more luxuries in the way of food
than his coworker, who has a family.
and his average expenditure on cloth
ing is also higher. The family man
pays 81 more rent a week, II cents
more on food, % cents on clothing and
CT cents on other items. His fuel
and light expenses, however, are rela.
lively lighter to the extent of %
cents per week. The worker, however,
has no surplus at the week end The
