THE COST Or LIVING.

crease baa i been, but nearly every man who
supixrrts a i family will any. without besita-
tion, that lt costs more now than it did
twenty-five years ago. There la truth in the atatenient.
but perhaps It is not the whole truth, or the moat im­
portant part of it. Each man's ex[»rience has to do, of
course, with his own family ; and families have a way ot
beginning small and Increasing. Moreover. •• children
grow older It e«o«t» more to keep them.
A more accurate statement is that the actual mat of
tlw necessities, although greater now than a year or two
ago. ba« not materially increased since 1870, but that the
tastes and Ideal« of th« people have made the expenses
of the family greater.

R to capital puniahment, its effieary might
be more reasonsbly condemned after being
tried. It la notorious that very few mur­
derers are executed. In no civilized coun­
try ia murder so common or so seldom pun­
ished as In the United Ktatee. It ia not
unreasonable to infer that the shocking
prevalence of homicide in this country ia due to the very
slight danger the murderer runs of reaching the gal­
lows or the electric chair. Juries are merciful, courts
are technical, public sentiment ia Indulgent, and It la
notorious that murder is safer here than in any country
of Europe. May not this Immunity account for ita prev-
