ED. REPUBLICAN Dear Sir
Myself, with quite number of like
minded inquirers, have been watch
ing the campaign as conducted on the
side of our Democratic friends, with
the, las yet,) vain hope that some
solid arguments might be adduced
showing Why the Democratic party
tinder the lead of Hancock ought to

can party under Garfield. We don't
want froth and fury, we want solid
sense; this being lacking we propose
to vote as we shot; at the common
enemy.
Yours truly.

Hotel Bills in France.

ALL the big Partisan hotels give ;
sumptuous table dhote dinner fo1
about five shillings head, wine includ
ed, which is not dear; but they recour
themselves by heirextravagant charges
tor what is eaten in private rooms OF
ordered in the dining-room la carte
Thus plain breakfast of tea or coffee
and bread and butter served in a sit.
ting-room is charged forty cents for ono
! person; but if there be two persons the
charge is doubled, Ind a family of five
1 persons are made to pay two dollars,
which is absurd. Add eggs and bacon
to the feast and the bill reckons not fo1
the dish of these delicacies which is
actually consumed, but for :" five break
fasts of bacon and eggs, at eighty cents
per head''-tota. four dollars. In most
of the big hotels the charges for a
slphon of settler water is forty cents,
though its trade cost is no more than
three sous a glass; a glass of sherry is
charged thirty cents; four sandwiches,
! fifty cents; a pint bottle of beer, thirty
cents, and plate of biscuits, sixty
cents.
1t may be alleged that attendance
has to be included in these items; but
attendance, after having been amply
charged for in the bill, has again to be
paid under the form of tips to the ser
wants. Ii traveller, after settling his
weekly account, neglected to add five
franc piece for the waiter, he would find
himself condemned to a good deal of
exercise with his electric bell during the
ensuing seven days and get weak tea
and cold eggs for breakfast into the
bargain. There is an astute freemason-
ry among hotel servants, and if the
waiter be dissatisfied with particular
set of travellers, the porter and cham
bermald take care to make their dis
pleasure felt also. All of them expect
to be literally paid when traveller
leaves the hotel.
Now, consider what hotel company
really makes by charging attendance
for these persons who have to be paid
for by travellers twice and thrice over.
AS rule, one waiter, a chambermaid
and a porter are allowed for every
twelve rooms or sets of rooms on first
and second floor; and the charge for at
tendance on these floors being at the
rate of fifty cents a day, we have Sc a
day. or $3.50 month, for service. But
the wages of q hotel waiter are but S. a
month; those of a chaimbermaid So, and
Of a porter 81; and if to these sums one
adds $40 month for the keep of the
three servants, one finds that the hotel
clears more than 1928 monthly by the
single item of attendance. 1t was
thought step in the right direction
when some twenty years ago hotels
were induced to charge separately for
in order that travellers
might no longer be put to the trouble
Of giving tips; but nowadays tips and
the extortion for attendance flourish
amicably together hand in hand.--PaH

out the trial shows how farmers clubs

| but the trial shows how farmers clubs
and similar organizations can make
their monthly meetings interesting and
useful. Six samples of butter, five made
from sour cream, and one from sweet
: cream, and all from the best creameries
! in the neighborhood. were taken from
market-tubs about to be shipped to this
city; their marks were removed, and
they were submitted to experienced
members of the club The
President alone knew the makers of the
several samples of butter, and whether
they were made from sour or sweet
cream. On the question as to which was
the best sample of butter for present
use, the members of the club
(the President not voting) cast
twenty votes in favor of one
sample made from sour cream, and
only one was cast for the sample made
from sweet cream. The six Jumps of
butter were then put in separate kettles
in an ice-house for three weeks, and
then wrapped in cloths and kept in
milk-cellar for one week, at the end of
which time they were again presented
to the Club for opinions as to their last
ing qualities. The numbers by which
they had heretofore been known were
changed, so that the voters should be
able to give an unbiased Judgment, and
the result was thirteen votes for the
sample that had before headed the poll,
ten for another sample, and seven
for another, all made from sour cream.
The butter made from sweet cream did
not get a single vote. cit needed no
second taste or smell to show that its
keeping qualities were far inferior to
butter from sour cream.' The Presi-
dent, commenting on the result of the
test, says: " 1t also proves that the but
ter which is made with the most care
is not only best for the present, but for
future use, the three who received
the highest votes being known as the
three most careful butter-makers rep
resented.''
