1t was several years ago, and had driven
up to Judge Smiths road house, up IN the
region toward Jerome Park, with two
friends, to discuss a newspaper scheme
which we then had in mind. The drive
was a long one, and it was crisp Novem-
Der day. The horses were lively, and we
arrived with tremendous appetites. Judge
Smith, who has died, believe, from apop-
lexy, said he would send us his own waiter,
and advised us to let the man order our din
uer, AS he knew just what was in the kitchen,
and in what direction the cooks greatest
skill could be found. l remember we were
all three talking with some earnestness when
the door of the room was opened with
noiselessness and a dizziness which would
have done credit to sneak thief, aud Ut

zled white hair, clean-shaven face, snowy
linen and an air of great stealthiness crept

one never knew when he was in the room
and when out of it until his foxy old face
appeared over ones shoulder and dish or
knife was laid in place. We sat there for
three hours. The waiter had way of
reaching his long arms around from behind
ones chair and defly extracting plate
with such consummate skill that the diner
hardly knew when the plate was gone. He
approached more nearly than any other
man ever saw What is, after all, the ideal
of perfect service; a waiter who is invisible,
inaudible, omnipresent and intelligent.
There was not the slightest mistake made any
where in the dinner. Every stalk of celery
had been selected with extraordinary care
and packed in ice; the burgundy was
warmed and the champagne cooled to pre-
cisely the proper temperature; every oyster

was tall, dark-featured, and solemn man,
with very square shoulders. an exceedingly
erect carriage, and military air from his
boots up. He turned on his heel like
drill sergeant when he left the room, bowed

Der one day walking in the Avenue de
POpera with a lady who had been shopping
in the Louvre, and who was a bit fatigued.
She did not want to eat luncheon, as it was
about o'clock, and it would spoil her din
ner, but she said she felt as though she
could eat a chicken sandwich. We
went into Bignon's, which is
perhaps the most pretentious of the Pari-
sian restaurants, and found it deserted ex-
cept for the white-aproned attendants. AS
we entered, the head waiter made pro-
found bow, and five or six other walters
rushed ahead of us and stood in a pictur-
esque semi-circle around a corner table One
Of them hauled back chair for the lady :;
another got hasSock for her feet; a third
shook out napkin; forth fumbled with
the window blinds, while the head waiter
himself and another of his assistants rushed
off after the menu card. / told the man
shortly TO bring some chicken sandwiches,
and be communicated the order to an assist
ant. There was a great rushing around while
the head waiter talked to US with some ex-
ctement--we had both been there a good des |
and knew him well-about a winning which
his brother had just made at Monte Carlo
He could not understand what the lady
meant by eating at that hour of the day,
as he knew she dined at $50, and he was in
state Of almost painful solicitude for fear
she would spoil her appetite for dinner. He

watched them amusedly from the corner OF

There were six of them, including the head

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-President Cleve-

in Washington, and his steward is instructed
to treat the cooks and walters with lib

the white house have been credit to his
record as host.

irritation or satisfaction which the
average waiter can manage to
contribute TO his master is very great.
have noticed that the oldest travellers are
the one who fee the walters with the mos
Gberality. l have been particularly struck
with this among Frenchmen, who, in all
the smaller details of life, are masters of a
philosophy which throws the heavier En-
lslisb or German mind far in the shade 1t
IS no unusual thing to see a Frenchman IN
Paris, London or any of the continental
cities give a waiter tips that would startle
an American millionaire And Frenchmen
are not literally inclined in this fashion I'M
less there is a reason behind it all. Many
a time in the Cafe Anglais in Paris, when
foreigners of all sorts are bestowing tips of
from % to so cents upon the walters, with
faces of more or less beuevolence the Pari-
sian will pass the lackey plateful of coin
often averaging as high as 81 or So for a
single tip, where the luncheon has cost but
twice as much. Gratifying results follow
this. The foreigner is served in a slipshod
way and gets a corking big bill, the French
man has the best table, the best service, the
warmest corne of the room, and every
morsel Of the food is watched over with
Jealous care by the waiter and the chef
who usually has a snare in the formers am
ple fee. When the bill comes it is very
much less than that which would be given
to foreigner.
In passing, if may be permitted to give
a bit of advice, l would suggest that every
man who dimes in restaurants should care
fully count up his bill, no matter where he
is. 1t is perfectly good form, no matter if
ladies are present, for no man is obliged to
be swindled for the sake of keeping up ap-
pearances, and the number of swindling
bills which are paid in every restaurant in
the world is something astonishing. l could
detail instance after instance III the

York where over charges are made
with a regularity that nothing could explain
except the real cause.-the thIeving propen-
sity of the walters and cashiers.

OCTOBER, 1888.
PRACTICAL LETTERS TO TEACHERS.
BY W. s. B. MATHEWS.


r THINK best to open the October session with
the following letter just received, which ex-
plains itself, and will, no doubt, prove interest
ing TO other correspondents:
DEAR SIR-You viii remember In your reply
to me, In THE ErupE for June, advice to a
Hard Case" you requested me to let you know
how got on after following your advice.
Acting thereon, abandoned my old system
of practice for "Mason's Technics" and the
"Techntcon," and have spent one hour with
them, against two hours on reading and inter-
probation, each day this summer.
The two.hnger exercise Ia the elastic touch
has limbered up my fingers wonderfully, and
the fast form has produced the same effect on
my wrists while the accent and rythmic work
has fulfilled every purpose for which it was
written.
But wish, In particular, to acknowledge my
indebtedness TO the Tschnicon, for without Il /
do not believe / could have accomplished any
thing, owing TO the helpless condition Of my
hands before using IT, Ny confidence In THIS
invention, and my interest in the theories on
which II is founded Is unlimited. believe I
could write q whole volume In praise Of it.
You will remember wrote you that my trou-
BILE was caused by stiff muscles and Joints; the
Techpicon has proven this to be a mistake, and
taught me great many technical secrets, one
OF which Is the ability 10 use one muscle or set
OF muscles, while all others are kept at rest md
under control. The inability TO do this was the
obstruction TO my progress. This Ia but one OF
many advantages ! have gained through the
Technicon.
hereby express my gratitude for your advice
so kindly given. Yours respectfully,
r. B. TURNER, 81 Whitaker street, Agent.
