Has Its Good Points.

In some villages in Japan robbers are
tried and convicted by ballot. When
ever a robbery Is committed the ruler of
the hamlet summons the entire male
population and requests them to write
on a slip of paper the name of the per-
son they suspect as having committed
the crime. The one receiving the largest
number of ballots is declared duly
selected" and is accordingly hanged. This
system, like all others, has its peculiar
advantages. 1t insures the punishment
of somebody for every robbery commit
ted. whereas under the system in vogue
in most civilized countries in nine eases
out of ten no punishment is inflicted on
anybody for the crime. OF course they
may not elect the guilty person. but
dispose of some other character equally
a bad. There is much in the system to
commend it to other nations.-Pomona

Strange fancies have taken hold of
some men regarding the manner in which
their bodies We're to be disposed of after
death and the ceremonies to be observed
ut their funerals.
The great Emperor Charles V had the
curious idea of celebrating his own fu-
neral. Shortly beforehis death be caused
. tomb to be made in the chapel of the
monastery of Estremadura, to which he
had retired after his a~bdication, and on
its completion he was carried to it as
though dead. Placed in a coffin and ac-
c~ompanied by procession, he was borne
along, while chants Were sung, prayers
said and tears shed. After the solemn
farce was over he was left alone in the
chapel, where he remained a short time
before rising out of the cofin.-Londop

Patriotic DAUGHTER.

A young lady, the daughter OF a west
ern farmer, whose heart over1owed with
patriotism, quietly left her comfortable
home, cut off her beautiful hair, donned
male attire. enlisted in a company and
went directly to the seat Of war.
During the home life she had been the
milkmaid, and her kind treatment of the
bovine tribe Of the farm had made her 4
special favorite. But one Of the lacteal
tribe was her special favorite and whose
reciprocal love at meeting vas always
demonstrated. When mustered out OF
service. she returned to her p~aternal
home. her habiliments being those of the
heroes Of the war, and politely requested
permission as a stranger for entertain
ment over night. which was readily
granted by the kind host to a returning
soldier.
On the following morning she arose,
and still regarded by the entire family
as a perfect stranger she proceeded in
her soldier garb to her old milking quar-
tiers, and she had not entered the gate
way till she was at once recognized by
her pet COW, which proceeded to meet
her and greet her with all demonstra.
lions of a loving animal to a dear friend.
Then the soldier returned TO the house

nizing powers Of a COW it was hArd work
to persuade them that she was really

nests, shark fins, plain morels, vegeta.

The Shell of tlae Pearl Oyster.

Very few people are aware that tbs
pearl oyster is not in any way like the
oysters which we eat. It is of IN en-.
tirely different species, and as a matter
of fact the shells Of the so called pearl
oysters are of far more value to those
engaged in pearl fishing than the pearls.
There are extensive pearl fisheries in the
gulf of California, and some of the finest
pearls have been taken from those wa
tiers. In 1881 one pearl-a black one
was sold for $40, 200, and every year since
that time many pearls have been taken
from the beds in the California gulf val
ued at over s.. 500 each. But such finds
are very rare, and as a rule the pearls
which are brought up are of very little
value. The shells, however, are very
valuable. Most of them are shipped te
Europe, where they are manufactured
into ornaments, knife handles, buttons
and the hundreds Of other articles fol
which mother of pearl is used.-Har

sensible Points About 1tps.

Sensible Points About Tips.
The greatest abuse of the tipping sys
tenn in New York is in the fees to jani
tors and other servants connected with
apartment houses. It has become a III
tom almost too strong to ignore in some
apartment houses to pay the j%anitor, bell
boy, elevator boy, etc., certain amounts
every month or fortnight-this withou:
any regard to whether the servant has
rendered any particular service OF not.
The result Of this indiscriminate tipping
Is quite natural-you get no particular
service.
Not few tenants Of apartment houses
have had an experience with ~janitors
which makes blackmail preferable to the
risk Of the repetition Of these expert
ences. As in the case Of walters, there
are a good many annoyances to which
tenants may be subjected which cannot
be cured with a club and which do not
even form a substantial basis Of COM
plant. And they are not less aggravat.
ing because you can't get away from
them or resent them. But to simply pay
a man Unfortunately just because he
is there is a plan which releases him from
any obligation whatsoever.
make it a rule and can recommend
It after some experience to pay with
reasonable liberality for any special
service-that is, any service above and
outside of that which the man is en-
ployed to render to every tenant in com.
mon. And I never tip such men OF gen.
eral principles-that is, indiscriminately.
If an understanding to that effect is es.
taolishel at once upon going into a new
fat, you will avoid all the ills to which
others are subjected and have at call
those who are not only ready and will
ing, but eager to serve you. Begin at
nee to compensate literally every per-
son about the place who renders you
special services and pay nobody else d
cent. Follow this rule, and You will III
variably get excellent service and plenty
of attention. This rule will work equally
well with the waiter if you are a regular
customer.-New York Herald.
