Folklore and FoIk-Cure

Some Of the scientists who make a
specially of folklore have lately been
making inquiries about the malady
which the country people called spring
fever. 1t is genuine maladY, though
more disagreeable than serious. Yet
it should be taken note of. While the
scientists are inquiring about the tone Of
the malady. those who are suffering the
lassitude. nervousness and melanchOlIa,
that are its symptoms, should run the
disease out Of their systems by means Of
more subtle scientist and fOlk-cui est--S.
S. S. This is particularly necessary,
since spring fever leaves the system in
such a condition that it succumbs
readily % diseases that are more dam
gerOus and less easily controlled. S.S.S.
is a preventive as well as a remedy.

ing public would unitedly oppose it.
but there are always enough willing to
submit to the eXaction to compel others
TO follow their example. A few wears
ago leading hotel in Chicago sought
to break up the tipping system by pub
licly forbidding it and ordering the re-
turn of all tips to the proprietor, but
the effort was unsuccessful, and
passed into ''innocuous desuetude.n
The practice has become so well estab-
llShed at some summer resort hotels that
well understood tariff of tips is in use,
and no waiter will deigD to receive ANY,
thing less. The man who is unwilling
to be mulcted must have courage enough
to withstand battery of contemptuous
looks from all the walters in the vicinity,
who seem to have entered into a league
to bulldoze reluctant tippers.
LII the system is to continue it should
be regulated and made public. Pro-
prietors should be asked to display a
card giving the tariff for tips in their
hotels, and reading something like this:
"For conducting a guest up the main
aisle of the dining room, 81 to the head
waiter; for service at table, 25 cents TO
the waiter; for handing hat or shawl
10 cents to the hat-rack man; for brush
ing, 5 cents to the hall boy three times a
day; for the postage stamp seller,
double prices for stamps, ETC." The
public would then know what eXaetiOns
it must submit to and could make its
calculations accordingly.

A MONKEY SUBSTITUTED.

How the "Clampers' Goat Mis-
behaved HimseIfat an Initiation.

''See that man over there?" said Clerk
Rucker, of the Palace, pointing to a
well-dressed young man sitting in one
of the easy chairs. "That is W. #.
Ellis Jr., one of the wealthiest men in
MarysVlle. He is down here to buy a
monkey"
''To buy what?"
"a monkey; one of those ring-tailed
fellows"
The reporter sauntered over to Mr..
Ellis, and, dropping into chair beside
him, said
What DO you want with monkey,
Mr.. Ellis?"
"Eh-what's that? Who told you l
wanted monkey? Got one to sell?"
moo; but.what sort of monkey do
you want?"
''Well, I'il tell you the TRUTH" said
Mr.. Ellis. 1--WE bought my monkey,
and he is now Cn the way to Marysville.
Lest you should imagine that l intend
going into the organ-grinding business
with monkey attachment, l guess
I'd better tell you the whole thing.
You see. Pm president of the

order has been in serious trouble. You
understand the Campers were organ

tiatlng new members. lthas been hard
on the new members, but for that very
reason the 'Clampers' have grown rap
idly, numerically speaking. Every fell
low initiated, as soon as he got well
enough to hobble around, sought out
some other fellow to initiate so he could
get even. Until recently a very large,
strong and healthy goat has been one
of the principal features of the initiatory
ceremonies. The other night the goat
got mad, and, instead of venting his
anger upon the candidate, he turned
upon the members, d-well-well," -
softly rubbing his arms and back, 81
guess We'll draw the veil over the close
of that session. The candidate has been
laughing ever since. He was the only
one who escaped unhurt. and, of course,
we can't afford to run any more risks OF
that sort. So we amended the consti-
tuition and bylaws. and In future the
monkey bought to-day will fill the po-
sition heretofore occupied by the goat
with the 'Clampers.

WHO HE WAS.

At Smiths hotel. at Bankers Reef he regis
tered one day
A dapper little fellow in suit OF natty gray.
He came among us with smile suayity
itself,
And with an air of freedom that betrayed the
man of pelf.
He had two trunks. and said he really thought
of bringing more,
And ell the time wondered where I'd seen
the chap before.
Bis spotless suits, of flannel and the necktes
he displayed
Raised Jumps of envy in our Threats and left
us half dismayed.
He had some dozen russell shoes, and hats
for every hour,
And sought by these imposing arts to get
within his power
The summer girls who hung around near
Bankers Reef and shore,
And all the time wondered where I'd seen
the chap before.
One day he played at tennis and his blazers
gorgeous hue
Came up before my vision in an object that 1
knew.
Ny office in the city's street rose up before
my eye;
saw three stripes of color that were on
pole near by,
And then ceased to wonder where I'd met
that chap before;
He was the little barber in the basement shop
next door.

WATERS AND TIPS.
Suggestions for Abating a Custom

Suggestions for Abating a Custom
That Is Becoming a Nuisance.
Philadelphia Press.
The Boston hotel and restaurant wait
eTs have formed themselves into an
alliance for the purpose eff redressing
their alleged grievances. They have
drawn up a schedule of the wages
that walters of different classes are to
receive, the hours they are to work, the
rules they will submit to, and the paw
they must get for Oyerwork. Regular
walters in hotels are to receive $50
mouth, be on duty not more than ten
hours out of the twenty-four, and be
allowed three meals day. These terms
appear reasonable, as waiting in the
dining room of a large hotel is trying
work, and deserves fair compensation
and not too long hours.
But while the walters are taking these
measures to protect themselves, they
ought not to forget to protect long-suf-
fering public as well. If, while de-
handing fair wages for themselves, they
were to decide to abolish the tipping
system, they would have the sympathy
of the public III attaining their own
object. Tipping has grown to be such an
abuse that it threatens to cure itself by
its very magnitude. From being a graf
uity it has come to be considered all OBJ
legation, and there are few travellers,
especially in the summer, regardful of
their own comfort. who have the cour-
age to resist the imposition. 1t begins
the day man leaves his home for his
vacation tour, and never stops until the
door of his own house closes behind him
again.
The chief annoyance in connection
with the matter is that the Upper knows
he is paying twice for the same service
lis, in fact. being robbed and is only
getting Indifferent service in the bar
gain. There is some excuse for the
practice in the old countries, where
wages are extremely low and the
gifts from guests are often the
only income hotel walters have.
Then the service a moderate gratuity

nent is far greater than a much larger
one will command In this country. A
waiter In one of the best restaurants in
London considers himself fortunate if
he receives gift of sixpence--equal
to u cents in our money-for serving a
full dinner, and a hotel porter will
carry two large satchels and a wrap np
several flights of stairs and feel fully
compensated if he gets threepence. A
gift of less than twice or three times
that sum might be accepted by waiter
or porter here, but in such manner as

are the seeds of the poIpus fluscimus, a

up?' 'MeissOnier asked. with chuckle

disclosed to view small bed with three

New York Commercial Advertiser
A Commercial Advertiser reporter
dropped into furnishing and clothing
store on Nassau street the other day,
and saw one of the statesmen busily en-
gagged with well-dressed, portly old
gentleman of benign expression, who
held boy, ragged and unclean, by the
hand.
A few moments later that urchin was
taken into dressing room, from which
he soon appeared clad from head to foot
in clothes such as he had probably
never dared hope to ever possess. Hats
and shoes, necktie and handkerchiefs.
completed the present to the little fell
low, who was also given underwear
enough to last SIX months.
The old man and the lad he had be-
friended disappeared and the reporter
asked for little information.
Why" said the salesman, SIT is the
delight of that man to clothe ragged
street arabs. l suppose he comes in
here or goes into some other store down
town two or three times a week with a
poor boy in tow, who is soon transformed
into decent-looking lad.
''lt's his hobby, and good one, too,
think. Don't you? He can afford it.
and | believe the solid enjoyment ne
gets out of his pet way of getting rid of
some of the surplus money is much
greater than the pleasure many a rich
man tinds Ia his yacht or his horse.''
