But in the winter, when darkness came early, I was sorry that the children had to go to school with lessons unlearned, which they might. have learned if there had been lamplight by which to study them. Light cost us on an average of throe- quarters of a cent a. dayâ€"$2 75 for the year. Last winter, because of getting mv feet wet while wearing unmeuded shoes and sitting in a. cold room, I was taken down with pneumonia, and was sick for a fortnight.

THE JEWELLER, Total $460.75 You see, the very best we could do, we expended a little more than my hus- band's earnings. And his work was not interrupted by sickness. There was no doctor’s bill for any of us. The furni- ture we bought the first year after our marriage, before we had any children, is wearing out, but we have bought none to replace it. My husband spent not. a cent for tobacco or intoxicating drinks; he walked to his work every morning. even through the rain, with- cut. spending a cent for street car tick». ets; we have not been to church this year, for we will not occupy anybodv else’s pew, nor the pauper pew, and sit; like a bump on a leg when the contribu- tion plate is pushed under our noseS' we have not gone out on picnics or ex: cursions, nor attended any entertain- RAUE SUICIDE.

But I have a sister who is s not married. as it is the understand- ing that a married woman is very likely worked harder, or had less in the way of amusement and recreation in the course of a. year than we. Dividing $459 by 6 gives $76 50 as the average annual expense for each member of our familyâ€"less than 21c. a day. Our county board of supervisors allows our sherifl’ 25 cents a. day for feeding prisoners in our county jail ' and the same allowance is inddc foi‘ panpers in the county alms houSc. It. seems to me that it is as much as I ought to be required to do, to support our familyâ€"food, rent, clothinv, fuel everythingâ€"och less than is paidnout for food alone for paupers and criminals. Our house rent cannot be crowded down a cent; the landlord must have his pay, and that in advance. no matter what else may happen. Most of the other items of expense, as you see are already at their lowest limit.

My mother is useful about the house, I read in that maunzine of my sister’s that the average nfacturing establishments of the United States, according to the last census, were less than $450 per year My husband earned a little more than that. His wages were $1.50 a day. He fortu~ nutcly was in excellent health, and Work- ed every day except Sundays and holi- duysâ€"â€"306 daysâ€"and his income was $459. I had our oldest daughter. as practice in arithmetic, as a matter of business training, and to see to it that we did not run in debt, keep an extiet account of our expenditures. They were as follows : The sum total paid out. for food osmfle sum, to ,.,. ,, materials was $328. That wasa frnc p " p m‘“ u' “‘0 Pen all“ ink I borrowed from a neighbor. 1 find in that magazine‘of my sister’s the Statement, deduced from the census. reports and the bulletins of the Labor Bureau. that more than twelve millions of the citizens of the United States- men, women and children, the families of laborersâ€"are living on a less amount per day than we. But to come back to my own family. You will observe that $78 50 is the average annual expense of each of us now, when there is no ex- tra medical attendance on account of the advent of another child into the household. That would certainly mean more than 325 additional.

A pint cup of bread and milk for one of the children costs more than that. Our family occupies a three room house in the outskirts of the city. . Of course we are badly cramped for space. There must be a bed in each room. Fortunately we have not much other furniture We are always ina cluttered up condition,f'rom the fact that we have no cellar. I do not see how we eould get along with any smaller house. For this we pay $7 a monthâ€"$84 per year. Our clothing, including hats, shoes, everythingr for summer and winter, costs a total of $30; an average of not quite $4.50 each. I can not see how we‘could have got along for less. We have but one stove in the house-an old. broken concern that was second hand when we bought. it. In the winter my mother lies abed considerable of the time. to keep warm and give the rest of us a chance at the fire. I do not see how We could have been more economical than we Were in the use of fuel, but it cost us $16 during the year. Light costs us comparatively little.
