Where Tips Are Not Allowed.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune
Potter Palmer is one Of the few land
lords of the country who refuses to
allow anyone in his service to receive a
tip. A violation results in the dis
missal of the recipient.
"How came he to make this rule ?' /
asked of Mr.. Mezerve, a trotting- man,
who is posted.
lone day." he said, "Potter Palmer
was speeding his horse on the Lake
Shore drive when he became aware that
some one was trying to pass him. Mr..
Palmer touched up his horse with the
whip and the same did the man who
was behind. In a moment more the
latter passed Mr.. Palmer, and as be did
so Mr.. Palmer recognized him as his
head porter. The next day Mr.. Palm er
met the man and said to him:
John, that is a pretty good horse you
had on the drive yesterday. You
passed me and my horse is good one.
Where did you get your horse %
The porter, with glow of pride,
answered that the horse was his own.
"Mr. Palmer made no reply but be-
gan investigation. He found that this
man was accumulating wealth ON the
tips he received from guests at the
Palmer House. He found that all his
employees were doing like wise, and he at
once issued the order that any man in
his service who received tip was to be
discharged. You may fee waiter in
the dining room if you want to, but it
has to be done under cover. If the
head waiter sees it the underling goes.
This rule applies to the fellows at the
bootblack stand, which stand, like
everything else in the hotel, is run by
Potter Palmer. The money taken in at
that stand is turned in to the manager
every night, and is credited to the boot
black account. It is the only place I
know of where tipping is forbidden.

A Matter Of Microbes.

A Cincinnati doctor seems to have
traced the cause of rheumatism to
microbes, and the source of these he
declares to be vegetation, or such parts
of it as are decaying. There is always
about such plants as are usually kept in
houses, he says, ample decaying matter
to support these microbes, and in his
own case, he being long sufferer from
rheumatism, he says the disease ceased
to trouble him as soon as he removed
the flowers from the house.

The Photograph in Engineering.
F-om the Pittsburg Dispatch.


The question whether the practical
everyday utility of the photograph is
likely to prove, after all, of much i'm
portance has been very freely discussed
anu the result is decided difference
of opinion. There is no doubt. how
ever, that one of its latest applications,
though it may be confined to some
what restricted field, Is of great i'm
portance to the engineering world. It
is admitted that the life of an iron or
steel bridge cannot be definitely pro-
longed, and yet engineers do not pos
sess any completely satisfactory method
of determining the actual condition of
these structures, on the strength of
which SO m UGH depends. SO long as no
actual deformatio has taken place, the
iron may here or there be assuming a
crystalline condition, or may be serious
~ oxidized underneath the coating of
paint, and yet the extent of the evil can
easily remain undiscovered. IL is now
proposed to employ the photograph in
connection with microphone and
telephone to register the nature of the
vibrations of the bridge as whole or
in sections under a rolling load and to
preserve the record for comparison
with subsequent tests carried on at
regular intervals. TIE direct COMPARE

and an optical method is therefore en-

to secure long series of such records be-

good reason to believe that by this
means reliable indications OF change
in the molecular structure of the

Has the Business Instinct.
From the New YORK Tribune.

1NOW
Shrewdness in business shows itselfin
one way if not in another. There is a
young negsboy who never appears on
the street until about the time the
morning papers are coming out. He
drives hourishing trade around Print
ing House Square, and there is no
other seller of morning papers in that
neighborhood who can successfully
compete with him. He is quick, ener-
getic and obliging, but his success is
due to trick he has of learning mems
names. Just how be finds them out is
something of a mystery, but he learns

them and uses his knowledge to good
advantage. When man appears in
the street the boy, with several others,
rushes up to him. Now no matter how
little interest the man feels in any one
of them, when he hears a particular
one say, Morning paper, Mr.. B ?" he
seldom fails to buy his paper from the
one who knows his name Perhaps he
feels that he owes something to acquain-
lance ship; perhaps it is only vanity.

Faults Of Many Mothers.

American women of all classes are,
as rule, sinfully negligent of some of
the duties which pertain to health,
especially exercise in the open air.
The excuse that their many cares en-
gross them, and that they, in conse-
quence, have but little opportunity for
leaving their homes, is scarcely suffi.
cient. The number who actually can
not enjoy each day an hours outing
must be small, indeed, even among the
class forced to work the hardest. Not
only do many women fail in this respect
in their duty to themselves, but their
young children suffer in consequence
OF the same neglect From one weeks
end to another during the winter not Ia
few of them keep their little ones in
overheated rooms, if not huddled
around the kitchen stove, and the re-
suit is we find them, as spring ap-
proaches, weak, puny and ailing. In
such families colds, coughs, sore throats
and the like are common affections.
There is scarcely day during the
coolest season when even the baby can
not be safely taken out of doors. Moth
ers should understand that upon the
daily enjoyment of fresh and open air
depends, in great degree, the health

Gallatin TennesseaD.
The people of Goodlettsville have a
dog law of their own, and it is said
that it works like a charm. The
head of each family is allowed one
dog, and a tax of 81 on each dog and
50 each bitch is imposed on all above
that number. There were 1870
lambs sold and wool amounted to
$1,000. This dog law is a good thing.

Cancer.

is form of blood poison which is
not understood by the medical profess
sion as to its real nature and char
acter, but it is evidently hereditary
in its nature. 1t may accidentally
develop itself without any predis-

poison. The knife or caustic salves

remedies for it, but all honest practi-
