The Tipping Evil in Paris.

Tipping in Paris is occasionally carried to
such lengths that even the natives object,
and when u Frenchman objects to anything
he is as persistent, if not as noisy, as an Eng
lishman. think tipping reached its highest
point ut the production of l. File dc Nine.
Angot' at the Eden theatre. 1t was n great
performance, and the crush to get in was
proportionatcly strong. Judic and Granicr,
the rival queens Of opera boutre, had at last
been brought together i'll one cast, and the
production included mounted horses on the
stage and five or six hundred supernumeraries.
Enormous sulns We're paid i'll salaries, and
very considerable prices were charged for
the seats. 1t was on this account, perhaps,
that the ushers and serving women thought
| they were justified in raising their own ban-
ners. At all events, they made an onslaught
upon the people which raised the ire of the
most polished Frenchmen i'll the house.
My own experience is a fair example. 1

tered the house otherwise. Then | bought

hand. Then q programme man sold me q
highly colored satin card, which discovered
later on was minus the cast. Hence | had
to buy another programme from him.
Another woman who said she was a
door woman came along and crowded
past twelve or fifteen Frenchmcn
and said she wished to collect (,
few sous for some mysterious purpose OF
other. l lave not yet found out what il
was. Ipail, and so did the ~others-morc OF
less grulnblingly-when we were all dis
turbed by the appearance of still another ole
woman with q similar plea. This was toe
much, and there was a general and shril
chorus Of p~rotestations. Still the woman
held her ground with the most impudent ant
brazen manner, until the Frenchmen actually
caught hold of her and hustled her out of thu
place.
1t was the most insolent and impuden
strike that l had ever seen. 1t is common
enough over there. but the evil is so deel
rooted in general that there is no chance o
! eradicating it. People grulnble neverthe

The placard, "Women's Silk Culture Asso-

philanthropic rich women of Philadelphia
incorporated it to assist in affording a new
industry. They succeeded in obtaining from
congress $1,000 to help the thing on. The
association now furnishes mulberry trees free
of charge in numbers not less than twenty
five nor exceeding 100, to those intending to
begin cocoon raising. A queer thing about
mulberry trees is that no other insect feeds
upon them. They will thrive wherever corn
will.

The Triumph of vassar College.

Collegiate instruction for women in Amer
ica encountered the usual reception given to
all innovations. Vassar college and its stu
dents became the objects of many weak
jokes. The students were jibed at as women
who wanted to he men," as college women
have been jibed at elsewhere. The name
Vassar was carried everywhere. 1t became
typical, and still is. Other colleges have
risen, but Vassar remains the woman's col
lcge at which the small wit hurls his puny
darts. The ''Vassar girl" still stands for
the girl who goes to college, and about her
we hear all sorts of stories. more or less apoc-
ryphal. The new college encountered oppo,
sition from even good people; many had
! grave doubts; but the select few welcomed
it, and it went steadily on its way. 1t was
followed by Wellesley, Smith, Wells, and
Bryn Mawr, and the Harvard Annex" a.
it is called, also entered upon its successful
career.-Arthur Gilman in The Century.

sickcniuy specimen of humanity.

The degree of idiocy to which a young man
of low intelligence may attain, if his low in
tclligencc turns towards dress, was illus
tlated the other day Oh u New Yark and
New Haven train. He was about 81 years of
age, but of slight physique, and he was
adorcd by q large, fat and affectionate
woman, who called him BERTHE" The
makeup OF Bertie would have done credit to
a theatrical costumer. He ran to stripes.
He wore u striped collar, the band Of his hat
was white and blue bars, his cravat was Of
similar pattern, and so were his hose, his
handkerchief, and his shirt. His trousers
were black and white stripes, and the coat
blue and white.
1t would cause an immensely Of detail to
describe the different shades of the various
collection of stripes, but, altogether, it was
a very unusual and startling arrangement.
The young man wore his hair banged, and
spent most of his time in arranging his bang
with his bejeweled hand. He was a sicken-
ing specimen of mankind in one sense of
the word, but Il wonderful exhibition of what
may be accomplished by devotion to III.

Elevation of the Grocery Store.

Another effect of the evolution in our food
supply has been elevating the grocery store
to be one of tho most attractive of shops.
Formerly the grocer's stock consisted of q
few barrels of sugar, molasses and salt meat,
with the addition of coffee, tea II spices;
and neither in looks nor smell was the grocery
store an attractive place.
Now, the buyer is greeted with a bewilder-
ing variety of package goods, bearing at
~tractive labels, many Of which reach up into
the realms of art. Instead Of many different
kinds of goods weighed out in the Same
scale, each communicating the other, moro
or less, and requiring a largo force Of clerks,
some of whom might carelessly weigh or
measure too little or too much, the consumer
receives packages bearing the guarantee of
large establishments, tidily and correctly
packed, while the grocer is benefited by no
loss in weight, more perfect responsibility of
employees for stock, as a given number Of
packages cal be required or the money there
for, and an intelligent boy or girl can serve q
customer more quickly, correctly and salts
factorily with package goods than an adult
clerk could with goods which have TO be put
up ut the time. A larger volume of bushes:
can thus be handled with less help, and the
grocery store has become one of the brighteS
and most attractive in the list of Shops

The Storage of Lii

When the hereditary faculty for tho stor-

deaths of various kinds are causes of NOR

to the most adverse influences to the continu-
ance of life. beyond the average term of life.
The person gifted with this faculty of stor-
age may be of fragile and delicate build Of
body, may even be deformed of body, may
be of dull or of bright intellect, may be Of
clearly or uncleanly habit, may be placed in
what would seem the most unfavorable posi-,
ton in life, or may be literally in want and
will yet continue to live on so as to see the
whole of his or her more fortunate neighbors
fall; nay, may even be SO tired of the COLI
%tinuance of the monotony OF the everlasting by
recurring phenomena of life, as to be envious
of the fate of the dead who have found their
rest. The storage of life in those who possess
it in the most marked degree is, and belongs
to, continuance of the process of life, not to
the power of resisting Interruptions to it in
and during periods of strength and youthful
ness.-Dr. Benjamin Ward Richardson.

Is Excitement Necessarily Injurious to
Neutrality-suspicious. Evidence.
Whoever may have studied mans earthly
cnurc and tl!" causes which tend to lengtlIcn
or curtail it, will have scarcely failed to tlo-
ticc how contradictory is the evidence of
those wc naturally look to to explain them,
and that their evidence, even when they
agree, docs not always accord with what
would seem to he the facts, us they appear
around us. One authority says general ptN-
steal development is necessary to prulong
life, while another insists this is not rr-
quircd if tl.. days employment does not call
for physical cNcrtion.
DR.. Richardson, an eminent English au-
thority, whose remarks before tho Sanitary
institute of Great Britain on the storage of
life have been largely quoted, declares,
among many obvious though scarcely novel
propositions. that everything that quickens
tho action of the heart, any kind of excite
lnent, taxes and reduces tho storage of life.
If this were said of those naturally feeble,
or inh"riting disease, or even of those lead
ing scdentary lives, and living from day to
day without the invigorating benefits of
fresh air and exercise, it would seem Reasons
able, for one does not have to be Il >iiillful
physiologist to know that excitement affects
the nerves as we'll as the heart. But is tho
statement strictly true when referring, MS

ual dyspepsia. Having got them into this state
Of misery, lie made au easy capture of Them
When an invalid is badly run down by dys-
pepsia OF lung trouble or by any chronic disor-
der, the danger is of becoming so weak as to
despair Of recovery. This is more especially
the case where sufferers have tried one thing
and another in hope Of cure, but without sue
cess. A lady who for five years had been almost
hopeless, concluded as last resort to try Com
pound Oxygen. Her trouble had been chronic
irritation Of the bowels. She had been almost
entirely unable TO walk eating had been tor
ture. To these distresses had been added a
severe attack of rheumatism. After using
Compound Oxygen for three months she wrote
to express her gratitude for being brought out
Of her misery. She says, frequently met
