English TIPS.

The complaint of the traveller against
the English system Of "tips" wakes
every year more bitter. It has become
impossible for persons of moderate
means TO visit at large establishments,
no matter upon what footing they stand
with the owners, because it costs so
much to fee the servants.
II came away from England without
going to see my sister" q gentleman
said, recently, @because I will not sub
init to the tipping. Her husband has
q big establishment, and it would make
all the servants think she had shabby
relatives for me to go there and not do
the conventional thing; and that I will
not submit to. When they were here
last year, they stayed with me three
weeks, and when they were going away
he wanted to fee the servants, and /
told him that that was m insult to me.

Why DR.. Hawkes. Declined.

& North Carolina probably never pro-
duced an ADLER preacher than DIR.
Francis i. Hawkes., who q quarter of a
century ago was pastor of Grace Episco-
pal Church, New York. Short, thick
set, swarthy, black eyed, and black
haired, he was q striking parsonage.
He was not only a great pulpit orator
but considered the best reader in the
New York Episcopacy. His rather lux
urious family deferred him from
accepting a bishopiic, which would
have been otherwise rendered. One
day a delegation from a Buffalo church
waited upon and invited him to accept
a passionate in that city.
"Well, gentlemen, other things being
satisfactory, the question Of acceptance
narrows down to q business matter"
said DR.. Hawkes.. "What salary do you
offer?"
DR.. Hawkes." said the spokesman,
"we recognize that you have q high re-
putation and are willing to be liberal.
Our recent pastor has received 81, 500,
but on account of your standing we
have decided to offer you 50, 5OO."
my good man" cried the Doctor,
gasping. "do You know what salary I
am receiving here?"
"No, sir"
Il get $4,000 and this parsonage,
and as / have an expensive family, I do
not see my way clear to accept your
offer"
The spokesman looked rather sheep
ish, but made another essay.
IF we had known that fact, sir, we
would undoubtedly have looked else
where but you should remember that
the work of the Lord must be done,
and as for providing for your family,
you know the story Of the ravens"
Now, my friends" responded the
clergyman, qnizzically, Il have made
the Bible my study ever since / was %.
/ have read it through carefully and
prayerfully overa hundred times. / re-
member the raven incident perfectly.
but nowhere can / find any reference to

A Lake OF Water Actually Suspended In
Mid-Air.

A Lake OF Water Actually Suspended In
Mid-Air.
The phenomena Of q cloudburst,
which can only occur in q tornado or
whirlwind, are not generally under
stood. The whirl in which it is is not
a very broad and shallow disk, but a
tall, columnar mass of rotating air,
similar to that in which the Atlantic
waterspout or the pillar-like dust
storm of India is generated. While
this travelling aerial pillar, perhaps q
few hundred yards in diameter, is
rapidly gyrating, the centrifugal force,
as Professor Farrell has shown, acts as
q barrier to prevent the flow Of ex-
ternal air from all sides into its inter
Tor, except at and neal the base OF the
pillar. There friction with the earth
retards the gyrations and allows the
air to rush in below and escape upward
through the flue-like interior as power
full ascending currents.
The phenomenon, however. will
not be attended by terrific
floods unless the atmosphere is
densely stored with water vapor,
as it was on Tuesday in the C~ayadutta
valley. When such is the case the vio-
lent ascending currents suddenly lift
the vapor above the level at which
they were previously floating and hurl
them aloft into rarified and cold re-
gions of the atmosphere, where their
vapor is instantly condensed into many
tons Of water. Could the water fall as
fast rs condensed it would be COMPARE
lively harmless. But the continuous
u%prushing currents support this mass
of water at the high level, and as their
W vast volumes of vapor rising are
condensed they add to the water al
ready accumulated thousands of feet
above the earth's surface-making, SO
to speak, q lake in high air.
As the whirlwind weakens or passes
from beneath this vast body of water,
which its ascending currents have gen.
Grated and upheld in the upper story
of the atmosphere, the aqueous mass,
no longer supported, drops with ever
increasing g~ravitational force to the
earth. In eve cloud bursts the wa
ter does not fall as rain, but in sheets
and streams, sometimes unbroken for
many seconds. The cloud burst of
1889 at Hollidaysburg, Pa, e~xcavated
many holes in the ground, varying
from twenty-five to thirty feet in dia-
meter, and from three to six feet deep.
In a similar, but milder storm, which
visited Boulogne last May, assures
were cut in the ground eight feet deep
and openings made large enough to en-
gulf a horse and cart.-New York
