The High Cost of Living a Paradox

To the Editor OF The Star:
l, as well as thousands more, would
like to know how the question on the
high cost of living is going to be solved,
when we have two factions on that ques-
ton pulling in opposite directions.
First. We have d faction who are de-
voting their time and efforts to the
laudable aim of reducing the high cost of
living by making inquiries along certain
lines. which is so well known to the pub
lie that it needs no discussion here.
Second. We have q faction, the suffra-
gette faction. who are strenuously adj
vocating that all working people should
work only eight hours a day. No matter
what their occupation is. eight hours
should he the limit of their labors. Now
let me analyze this question.
Well take the servant girl question
first. The servant commences her labors
about. we'll say. o'clock am. If she
worked only eight hours. she would be
through her work by 3 o'clock D. m. House
holders would then be obliged to engage
another staff of servants. And those who
are in position to give balls. receptions
dinners, etc. would be obliged to engage
"A third staff of servants. The million
aires might be able to indulge in that
luxury. but what about the great mass
of householders? Clearly that would be
a physical impossibiity, as their house
hold expenses would soar away out of
sight.
Now let us take the merchants The
same arguments would hold good The
clerks commence their daily labors about
1.'So to O'Clock am. That would bring
the end of their working hours to about
O'Clock pm. and as merchants do not
close their places of business earlier
than O'Clock. and great many much
later, they, too, would be compelled to
engage two sets of clerks-clearly another
physical impossibility even if the mer-
chants could indulge in that luxury: the
cost of merchandise would soar away up
in the clouds, and the consumer would
have to pay the piper, and the consumer
Is and has Tor long time been, payin,
the piper.
IL the suffragette faction is successful
In their efforts, what good will they do,
, and how will they benefit the working
classes?
That is the paradoxical question that |
am anxious to elucidate

"Hold-Up" Subject of Diplomacy.

a diplomatic protest to the Greek gov
"hold-up" of the Russion mail steamer
Chikhacheff on its last trip from Odessa
to Alexandria by the Greek Governor of
Rhodes The steamer was halted at
sea off the island of Tenedos by rife
shots from ID sloop load of armed Greeks
and the captain. on hating, was informed
that the Governor of Rhodes was
aboard and desired the latest newspapers.
The angry sailOrman refused the de-
mand in emphatic language, resumed his
VOYAGE and on his arrival at Smyrna re-
ported the facts to the Russian repre-
sentative at Athens.
The island of Rhodes was occupied by
the Italians during the Italo-Turkish war
and is still held by them, so the appear
ance of IL Greek governor is somewhat
premature.

chapter with the conversion of the mon

ploits. into a nunnery. The monks, his
adherents have been scattered among

C1assed as ACCIDENT"

1t was at the blessing of the waters in
January, 1905. that a charge of grape
shot was fired at the emperor and his
cortege from saluting cannon stationed
on the opposite side Of the river. A bag
of bullets was in some manner slipped
into the gun in front of the saluting
charge. and this particular gun of the
battery was turned around to bear on the
temporary chapel on the ice in WHICH
part of the ceremony takes place. After
an investigation the incident was official
~ declared to be an accident, due to a
charge having been left in the gun after
drill the day before, but no satisfactory
explanation of why the gun was aimed
AS it was has ever been given. To pre-
vent accidents this year the saluting bat
terry was placed on one of the islands of
the fortress. and The signal for the salute
was conveyed to it by a rocket.
Russian postage stamps have hereto

sary for the protection of the revenues

But the old order changes, and in spite
of protests from postmasters with old

post office will issue March new series
of stamps embellished with portraits of

ton with the celebration of the third
centenary of the accession of the Roman

are now owners of a greater part of the
land they formerly titled as paid laborers

of the estate, including the park around

About LOO acres pass to the peasants

Such an envoy represents the person of his

themselves to be on a footing of equality
with the emperor, felt they could not re-

TROOPS GUARD ITS COLD.

Every Night the Bank of England Ha5
 a Military Display.
 For l3O years a company of guards men In charge Of an officer marched every evening from the Chelsea or the Wellington barracks to the Bank of England. For the last few years, ow- Ing to the great increase of street traffic, the soldiers have gone by the underground railway, and nowadays the nightly guard Is drawn from tho troops stationed in the Tower of Lon don.
 If the visitor to London waits by the bank any evening at half past o'clock he will sec about thirty men in the charge of lieutenant and two ser geants marched up in parade dress with fixed bayoncts and loaded am munltlcn belts. These are the only troops that may march through the city of London with fixed bayonets.
 The men themselves like this duty. When they march back to quarters, about 2 o'clocl, in the morning, they may do as they please for the rest of the day, and they receive an extra shilling a day from the bank man ogers. Each man also has a pair of fine blankets wherein to wrap himself while he waits for bis turn to go on guard, and In winter big fires are light cd for them They have generous re- treatments provided for them, and fhc officer In command has a dinner for himself and two friends.
 In the daytime another curious sur ylvul of the past Is to be observed. AL though detectives guard all the doors, the old uniformed bcadles are also paid for the service. From the standpoint Of efficiency, these officials are very much in the way, but as long as tho Bank of England has been in existence tbc beadles havc pollced it COnse- qucntly tho bcadles are allowed to re. mOIn
 The custom of providing little gar rlson for the bank dates back to 17SO, when an attack was made upon the bank by mob during tho Gordon riots, pIcturcsQucly described in Bar naby Rudge" It is said that in the fight th0t cnsucd between the rioters and the clerks of the bank the latter melted their metal inkpots for am intuition after their supply of bullets had given out.-Youths Companion.
