How Walters Make Change.

FROM the New York Graphic.
Il want you to notice the change GET. sajd
friend with whom a Graphic representative
was dining at the Hoffman House last night
III is sure to come about that no matter what
the size Of any bill, or the size Of the bank bill
send to the cashiers desk, my change will
come back in such shape that a quarter can be
put aside for the waiter" Handing up IS
note to pay bill of 80 even he received back
one - bill. a 50-cent piece and two quarters.
Now I'll show you something more. y said the
gentleman, as he ordered two pousse cafes and
two cigars, for which the bill was rs cents.
his waiter will not expect another quarter
on tins order, but he will bring back the change
SO that can give him 10 cents" Sure enough,
the change brought back was two lO-cent pieces
and nickel. The gentleman concluded his
exposition OF the tip system by saying: Now
that Is general all over New York The waiter
Is given barely starvation wages. with.the un-
derstanding that he can make il up in tins. In

Tobacco Smoke a Disinfectant.

W. Msttieu Williams. in the Gentleman's Magazine
The experiments of Y. Tassinari will rejoice
the hearts of many smokers. He cemented to-
gether by their wide mouths two glass tunnels
so as to form a cigar holder with large cham
Der in the middle. In this chamber was sus-
pended from loop Of platinum small piece
of linen. At one end of this cigar holder was a
plug of cotton wool acting as a smoke filter A
cigar was placed in the other end lighted and
smoked secundurn drtem, the mouth of the
smoker being attached to the fltering end. By
this arrangement the piece of linen was sur
rounded by dense cloud of tobacco smoke
At the end OF half an hour, during which three
and half to four grammes (about one-eighth
OF an Ounce) of tobacco was smoked, the cham
into test tube containing fluid gelatine in
which were planted colonies of seven
varieties of pathogenic microbia, includ-
ing those Of cholera, anthrax Chicken
cholera), and pneumonia. In every
instance there was a marked delay in the de-
velopment OF these colonies as compared with
what occurred in similar test-tubes charged
with the same, but not exposed to tobacco
smoke; the development of some was entirely
prevented by the smoke. The special constit-
uent of the smoke that has this effect is to be
the subject of further investigation. l venture
to suggest practical application. There is
little doubt that contagious diseases are in
these days frequently communicated by the
aid of railway carriages, especially first-class
carriages, seeing that their cushions and pad
ding supply nurseries for microbia, and that
invalids usually travel by first-class, even those
who would take third-class if in full health
Therefore, at times when dangerous infection
prevails, those who are liable to such infection
should select smoking carriages, the cloth lin
ings of which have. been subjected to treat
ment similar to that of the piece of linen sus-
pended in Signor Tassinari's experimental
smoking commitment

Campanini's i'll Fortune.

Worcester Spy's New York Letter
Poor Campanini is having bard time. When
one thinks of his remarkable career there is
scarcely a sadder spectacle than this great
singer, with money and voice both gone. Yet
he is an artist STILL and the most exacting critic
in New York gives him credit for knowing more
about his art than any other tenor before the
public. He Is so complete a master of every
trick and device of vocalism that with the
limited means at his command. he can effect
more than others can with more perfect equip
ment. He is proud. too. under adversity Two
weeks ago the Metropolitan opera company
having announced Faust" for an evening per-
Torrance, were in sore straits because AIyary
and the high-voiced Perotti were both
i'll. They offered the part 10 Gamma
mini, but he refused to sing for less
than $1,000, the same price that he used
to get in his palmy days. His financial difficult
ties have been long coming on. In 1883. on
returning to Italy after the usual winter season
of balmy success, he bought a great immortal
estate, with tenants, game preserves, horses.
dogs. and servants. This little matter of 5000
600 that it cost him was beneath consideration.
when he could make $4,000 a year. But. alas
his voice failed him. High living and abundant
champagne agreed less with his constitution
than with his appetite, and he was seized with
that unfortunate bronchial affection For two
years he did not sing a note, and the third
year he could sing only little. The next wear
he brought Verdis "Otello' to America and
lost 1000, and this years attempt to retrieve
his fortunes by another concert company has
cost him $4,000 or $1,000 more. Some Of his
friends money has gone with his own one man
alone being his creditor to the extent of a cool
$4,000.

Aiken and William Smith were great friends,
and the historian of the town narrates this in
stance of their mutual confidence:
Deacon Aiken bought yoke of oxen of Mr..
Smith, and not having the money on hand just
then, wrote his note for the amount.
''Well now" said Mr.. Smith, Il haven't any
desk to keep this in. Why won't you keep it
till call for it?'
So Deacon Aiken kept the note till he was
ready to pay it. Then he delivered it up, at
the same time paying it in full, and Mr.. Smith
took the note.
