HIGH Cost of Living in 1878.

The cost of living has so greatly in
creased that the average housekeeper
believes that never before did it take
SO much to keep the table supplied as
today. She is wrong. The letters
from Abigail Adams to her husband,
the second president Of the United
States, tell Of prices in 1778 that make
our food today appear cheap in COM
parison. She wrote that butchers
meat cost from 81 to So the pound.
Corn sold for SIS bushel, rye for $50,
potatoes $40 bushel and molasses at
SIP gallon. Flour cost $50 the hun
dred pounds and cider $40 barrel.
Butter sold for So a pound, cheese for
So, and sugar for So. The following
year, 1779, prices advanced still more.
Molasses brought $40 a gallon, sugar
81 pound and tea the same price
Plain boarding cost from $50 to $6C
a week. In 1880 butter sold for $12
a pound and tea went, up to $50. Poor
crops, scanty harvests and deprecated
value Of the currency were given as
the causes contributing to these high
prices.

Tit for Tat.

The subject of the Sunday sermon
at one of the uptown New York
churches was the duties Of the citi-
zen in time of war. The need Of con-
servation of all foodstuffs was en-
phasized, and among the persons who
gave ear was a small boy, replete in
Sunday finery. He sat with his grand
father, a stout, rather red-faced man,
who was obviously devoted to the
youngster "And at this time," said
the clergyman, in the course Of his
sermon, lit is the small sacrifice which
means so much to the good Of the
nation generally. There is a shortage
Of sugar. Well, let us eat less candy,
for instance.' The stout man nudged
his grandson. "It is time for sober,
clear-headed action on the part of all, y
continued the clergyman; "and when
there are so many war needs for al
cohol, why, for instance, should any
man now partake Of spirituous
liouors?" Then the small boy nudged
his grandfather.

Search for Oil in Britain.

Certain eminent American geolo'
gists, the house of commons was told
lately, hold. that it is well worth While
to spend a considerable sum Of money
in exploring for possible petroleum de-
posts in Great Britain, according to
a London correspondent. The speaker
a spokesman for the board of trade
added:
1T is impossible to exaggerate the
Importance Of finding oil in this couIl'
try. We cannot yet say that it is here
but it. is certainly worth looking for.

Loss, IN TRENCHES
Mortality Less Than in Any Of
the Previous Wars.
Physician Asserts That Disease Is So
Thoroughly Eliminated That
Sick Man Is Curiosity.

Readers with relatives and friends
ut the front should get considerable
comfort from study Of the mortality
statistics of the armies recently put
forward by a well-known physician,
London Tit-Bits states. While his fig
ures are not so favorable as those
given out from Paris indicating that
all Kinds of permanent losses-killed,
captured, missing and disabled aggre-
gate but 8 per cent per annum of the
effective forces engaged, they are nev-
ertheless distinctly encouraging.
He finds that about sixty men per
1000 are being killed and $50 wound
ed and that very large proportion Of
the latter return to the trenches. This,
naturally, is not to be compared with
the normal death rate in time of peace
of men of military age, which is but
eight per 1000; but it is vast i'm
provement upon the showing Of any
previous war. ..
For one thing, disease has been so
thoroughly eliminated that sick man
is curiosity. The soldier at the front
if he were at home. Everything he
cats and drinks and wears, almost
everything he touches, is subject to
the finest medical supervision Of which
science is capable, and if any particu-
larly persistent bacillus were to get
into his system in spite Of all precau-
tons, it would find him in such SUI
hot S+e h0
futile. The high commands have thor
oughly learned the lesson that it does
not pay to train man to be soldier
and then lose him from a cause that
is in the least degree preventable. r.
BY this same token, experience, both
in the protection of the soldier and
in the care of the wounded, is stead
progresses. Not only are new tactics
constantly being developed which re-
suit in loss exposure of the individual
soldier, but he is constantly being
better equipped with defensive ap-
paratus to minimize the effects of bull
let or shrapnel or gas attack. Finally,
from many classes Of wounds which
would have spelled probable death in
1914 and certain Gripping in 1915, re-
covery is now almost a matter Of
course.
The drafted man who goes as an Or
! binary soldier, taking his judgment
with him and leaving his excessive en-
thusiaSm behind, has every chance
of coming back, and in better physical
condition than when he left.

Concerninu the Tussoek Moth.

The New York state college Of for
estry at Syracuse has recently sent out
circular letter to chambers Of COM
merce throughout the state warning
against the ravages of the tussock
moth, which bid fair to be severe on
shade trees during the next growing
season. The egg masses, which are
white and conspicuous, may be seen
readily at the present time On the
bank Of elms particularly, and these
may be collected and destroyed or
daubed Will, creosote so that they VIII
not hatch. The college in its letter
has suggested that local shade tree OK
park commissions take the matter OF
destroying the egg masses in hand at
once and push it vigorously.
