steadily and surely at the rate of sixty to seventy-five per cent. A glance at the figures shows at once the big decrease from 1891 to 1915. In Alaska, where coal is brought from a great distance it is absurd to speak of the cost of electrictric- ity to use that bugaboo term "up here" in the face of the fact that lighting costs ten cents per kilowatt and cooking five cents. while through the entire Miss ississippi Valley the average cost is fifteen cents except in isolated cases and the average price of electricity through the entire United States is thirteen cents per killowatt.
 In the use of this wonderful agent, for general household purposes the saving to the householder is evident There is first the wage of a maid, her board and her room. The new range cooks vegetables and roasts meat and furnishes hot water while the new appliance watches that nothing burns; the vacuum cleaner applied twice a week to the rugs. mattresses and curtains obviates sweeping and the special assistant who comes in by the day and proves that the old-fashioned way of tearing up spring and fall is a proceeding belonging to the middle ages"
 By the aid of electricity the weary mother need not rise in the morning, she awakens and lat the head of her bed she touches a button and turns on the heat, she touches another and a bell awakes the children, a third and the eggs are cook ing and the oatmeal she put on the stove the night before is hot and palatable ready for the boys and girls to help them selves. After they have gone she rises and puts things to rights around the house and af- ter a leisurely making of her toilet she sits down to her sew ing and guides without physi- cal effort her machine which is run by the same invisible ser vice.
 It is electricity that allows the hitherto slave mother to join a club, read a new book, practice her long neglected mu- sic, and assists her in keeping pace with the steadily advanc- ing father. Some one has said that the electrical servant is al- ways ready, never sleeps, never tires, and never sulks when there is company.
 In the world of industry it is by far the greatest producing agent and in addition stands all ready to solve the marriage and divorce problem.
 If your wife is tired, naggy and cross, think about a new range for a Christmas present, it's cheaper than a divorce, and if the husband is ugly about the coal fires figure on some electric heaters. The amount of electricity used in Jmea the coming year will nearly measure exactly the divorce proceedings.

It was Bulwer Lytton, who wrote. approximately. one hum dred years ago a book which, in it's advertisement, was classed as "A quaint absurdity." The book is called "The Coming Race" and since the inception of the Chautaqua Association tt has been worked over time as a text book whenever the so-cali- ed Servant Question" has been discussed by that educational body.
 Lytton made the world smile when he evolved from his n- ner consciousness an essence he named Vrin. This indescribable something was a sort of sixth sense developed in the thumb of individuals and according to it's strength and the ability to use it, individuals were to work out not their own salvation, but their own convenience
 Fifty years later one Bellamy wrote Looking Backward, " and the whole world smiled when they read that We would be sitting in our drawing-room, stormy nights, listening to the greatest singers of the time, without going on dress parade to attend the opera. It was centuries before either of the above publications were printed, back in the days when the Uz- ziahs were Kings, that prophet Isiah told the people we would be rolling around the streets in chariots of fire. Truly that time has come.
 Tn the warerooms of the AL aska Electric Light 6 Power Company, the widest dreams of the dreamers are matenalized. The editor of the servant prob lem in the Ladies Home Journal has lost his job and the house wives of the United States have gone into the study of ap- piled electricity.
 Everyone We speak to admits the cleanliness and the conven- fence of the new electrical rang es equipped with an appliance which enables a working wo- man, a club woman. a society woman, to put her roast in the oven in the morning and come home to find it cooked to her exact liking in the evening, all attended to by the invisible housemaid Juice
 Many women in Juneau who look longingly into the windows where all the electrical devices are displayed turn aside and say. "Oh, yes We know, but it costs so much up here" Let us. see how much it costs. Seven cents for one horse power is the. astounding statement made by Manager Margrie, and for the benefit of those who have been a long time out of school, horse power is that power that will lift S8,OOO pounds one foot in one minute. Now in the last few years there have been tons upon tons of printers ink supply used in the argument of the high cost of living, but it is not gen. erally known that while every thing else went sSyward the cost of electricity has gone down
