The Tyranny of Tips"

Fifteen years ago the clipping" Of
walters in hotels and restaurants was as
constant and practically inevitable re-
quirement almost unknown here. The
system came into vogue as somewhat
natural result of the large influx of for
eign waters and Of the acquisition OF
European ideas through the vast and still
increasing tide of summer travel. With
true American impetuosity and energy
we have carried on the practice Of ''tip-
ping" till it has now become nuisance
Of extremely e1acting and annoying pro-
portions. 1t Is impossible TO take meal
in restaurant, to stay In q hotel or to
enjoy the somewhat questionable luxury
OF berth in sleeping car without, in
addition to paying the large profits Of the
proprietors Of these institutions, giving
also q very considerable percentage in
the shape Of '.tips." The system is so
thoroughly organized that it is impossible
for the man who desires eny comfort to
avoid paying this customary hiackmal.
Without IT, he cannot even get the food
or TIE attention which is purported to Be
offered at high price. ANY regular
traveller VIII say that il i hopeless to Try
20 obtain more than one good or ven
served meal In hotel unless the waiter
is remembered The same experience
viii be encountered IN any Of the better
class resiaurants.-Julian Hsgrps 10 Ihs

He Resigned at Once.

A village newspaper, giving an ac-
count of lecture by a noted lecturer,
said briefly and indefinitely that it was
"a wonderful flow of language''-which
seems to have been the idea of the hearers
of a certain colored minister, mentioned
by an exchange, whose gifts were rather
superficial.
The length of the words he hurled at
his hearers was only limited by the
amount of oxygen he could take into his
lungs at one effort. This was all very
well for time, but the church did not
seem TO prosper, and by and by change
was decided upon and committee Of
one was appointed to ask for the wordy
minister's resignation.
When the errand had been stated, the
preacher Indignantly asked what the
congregation expected for nothing.
WAL, now, doan yo' see, we duzzent
expect''-

The resignation was handed in directly.

The Worlds Cotton Yield.

Though known from prehistoric times,
the use Of cotton for cloth did not become
general until after the first successful
American cultivation Of the fiber in 100.
n 1871 the worlds yield was 400, 900, 900
pounds, and that of the United States
1000. 600 pounds. Since then the Anne
rican development of the industry has
been stupendous. the present production
of the United States being six times as
great as that of the whole world century
ago, land its home consumption being equal
to the worlds product fifty years ago.
1t has been calculated that, with the APP
pliances of $780, the manufacture of the
worlds cotton in 1926 would have &C.
cupied about so, 900, 900 people, while it
would require 800, 100000 persons at the
present time.-Arkansaw Traveller.

Paris Real and Romantic.

81 never was so disappointed in my life as
in the working women of Paris" remarked
one lady-American, Of course. 81 had
heard so much about the taste of Paris, that
| thought even the shop girls and women in
the streets would show it in superior neatness
and style in their clothes; but they don't
look as nice as the working women we see at
home" Another lady said: Il am SO disap-
pointed; | always thought of Paris as q sort
OF glorifed city, where everything would be
found that was most beautiful. l have only
been here two days, it is true; but I have
been to the Bon Marche and the shops of the
Louvre, and was not tempted to buy in the
least Naturally, two days were not much
in which to discover the beauty of Paris, nor
see the shops of the Bon Marche and the
Louvre, the places in which TO find the costly
novelties that confer the prestige of supreme
fashion and taste upon a city.
There is, however, an immense difference
between the Paris of today and the Paris Of
even ten CT fifteen years ago. Then the
working woman had not begun to adopt the
prevailing style They had a neat and prac-
teal dress OF their own-not the peasant
dreSs-but simple in construction and free
from cheap trimming and attempts at ''drap-
cry" Now their dress is cut after paper pat
tern modes, is cheaply furbelowed and soon
looks shabby. The trim neatness and eccur-
acy of cut has given place to attempts at
finery, which cannot be renewed often
enough for cleanliness and which marks the
decline in taste, which has been neglected or
not cultivated in the right direction
There is now little of originality, for there
is no one to stimulate or pay for experiment
tai efforts such as are needed for the develop
ment OF original and beautiful ideas even in
dress The fiJ of the French dressmakcr is
still the best in the world; but it would cease
to be so if it were not for her Russian, Amer
lean, English aud German customers Jenny

FRENCH ANNEXATION.
Slight Trouble in the Seizure of the
Windward Group of the
Society Islands.

Want of space from a press of local
matter has prevented an earlier notice
of the contents of the Official Journal
of the French possessions in the Pacific,
the receipt of which has been acknow-
lodged to Mons. Bellaquet, Chancellor
of the French Legation here.
The journal consists of six small
pages monopoliZed by accounts of the
French annexation of the Windwarl
Group. 1t appears that the formalities
of raising the flag were unattended by
exciting incident on all the islands
seized with the exception of Huahine
Reports from the other islands are to
the effect that the natives had taken
submissively and even kindly to the
French occupation.
Unfortunately the acquisition of
Huahine island was not made without
loss of blood on both sides. Ensign
Denot was going ashore in charge of a
small landing party, when, apparently
through some misunderstanding, the
boat was fired upon as if from ambush.
The fire was returned from revolving
guns, and, in the ensuing brief but
sharp skirmish, Ensign Denot was
struck by ball with fatal effect, and
several natives in the bush were slain.
This was on March Dist.
Proceeding, the official account says
that the natives, having reflected on
the probable consequences of rash re-
sistance, made overtures of peace to
the French which were received in Il
conciliatory spirit. The natives hav-
ing begged to have the French flag
cOnfided to their keeping, with pro-
misses that they would sedulously pre-
serve and daily display it, they were
taken at their word and justified the
confidence reposed in them by hosting
the flag on the morning of the 22nd.
The French warship Decres weighed
anchor and left for Papeete at o'clock
p. m. of the 22nd. In reality, the re-
port states, the trouble had its origin
in internecnie rivalries, not from any
sentiment of hostility toward the
French. (The Gazette is indebted to
Mr.. Pierre Jones for assistance in Gull
ing the foregoing facts from the journal

Mr.. Jules Tavernier has a number Of
new pictures at his studio IN Spreck-

completed; others in various stages Of
advancement. The principal picture
in the lot shows the descent to the
Volcano at the first turn after leaving
the Volcano House. The crater Is
blazing in lurid splendor on the left;
on the right is the descent with the
road and trees beautifully exhibited.
The characterization is complete
throughout. The scene is in early
morning, the first rays Of the sun
illuminating Mauna Loa in the dis
lance. The sketch from which this
painting is made was taken about
seven months ago. The picture is Of
Mr.. Tavernier's best and viii be on
exhibition at King Bros art store.
Fort street, on Friday.
A second piece of work ON which the
artist is engaged and has about COM
pleted is a sunrise scene at Pearl River,

The third is a view of Diamond

There is also a sunset view of Dia-
mond Head, in which the landscape Is
yividly characterized, the sunset glow
suffusing the fleecy clouds giving
added beauty and life to the whole
scene.
