sTEAMeoATlNG ON THE OHIO.
1t Was at tie Height of Its Prosperity
Half Century Ago.


1t was from 1910 to 1866 that steam
boating was at its height Fortunes
were made in those years by men who
owned and ran boats. There were lots
OF steamers on the river then. The en-
bryo industries of that period depended
on the river entirely. for railroads had
only been proposed-not built. About
100 steamboats, were built at Pittsburg
annually to run on the Ohio and Missis-
sippi rivers. This city was noted for
the trim crafts it placed on the water, as
some of the biggest and best running
steamers were built at the headwaters of
the Ohio.
The boats of the early steamboating
days were all side wheelers. 1t was not
until late that the advent Of the stern
wheel boats occurred, and when 1t did
they were not looked upon with favor
by the deniZens of the side wheel crafts.
The rivermen regarded them as an in
ferior kind of boat, on whose decks 1t
was beneath the dignity Of a first class
steamboatman TO tread.
The packets We're Of good size and
stoutly built. They were not supplied
with swinging stages and steam cap
STAINS, and their engines were OF sure but
not so graceful movement as engines
now, and electric lights for steamboats,
were not even dreamed Of. But they
served their purpose in making big mon
ey for their owners.
There was but one organized packet
company running boats down the 1lyer
from Pittsburg. 1t was the old PittSburS
and Cincinnati Packet line, and it owned
about % steamboats,, some of which left
the Pittsburg wharf daily. Among them
were the Buckeye State, the Hibernia,
Pittsburg, Crystal Palace and Pennsyl-
vania. These boats We're all stoutly
built and especially adapted for fast
running. The laws relating TO racing
were not 50 stringent then as now, and
exciting contests Of speed on the river
occurred daily.
One Of the swiftcst Of the packets was
the PENNSYLVANIA. She was the largest
of the Cincinnati boats and made some
splendid records on the Ohio. She was
2lO feet long and 81 feet beam. Another
fast steamer was the Allegheny. She was
not so large as the Pennsylvania. but
was almost as speedy. Some Of these old
Cincinnati Packet line boats were sunk,
a few burned, and the others wore out IN
the river service.
Besides the Cincinnati company pack
cts there were several steamers, most of
them owned by Pittsburgers, which ran
down the river and which had no reSu-
lar trades, but made trips whenever and
wherever there was occasion for their
services. They were chiefly to st. Louis
and New Orleans, the trip to the last
named point being completed in about
20 DAYS. There were Il few boats run
ming up the Monongahela and Allegheny
rivers. Brownsville was rs far up as
the slackwater improvements extended
on the Monongahela, and Franklin was
the head Of navigation on the Allegheny.

W ny Not?

Apropos of Marion Crawford's remark
about our mustachcd buffers, that they
amused him after the shorn ones of Eng
land, why won't somebody say that our
butlers-our American butlers-wear
mustaches, and we, when abroad, find
it amusing to see the English buffers
smooth shaven. and wonder why their
masters do not insist that their mouths
be covered. Will the time ever come
when we will dare to be Americans:
There are great lessons to be learned
from the older nations Of the world,
great models to be studied and wisdom
to be got from the experience which Is
the accretion of centuries, concerning
which the taste of one cultivated com
munity is as good As that of any other.

How the System of Tipping Has Degener-
ated In Many Eating Houses.

HOW tie System VI iiPPihS tAo' DN6N"N@-
ated In Many Eating Houses.
Complaints of the tipping system, or
rather want of system, are growing more
and more common. 1t is the opinion of
those who are in the habit of getting
their meals here and there and patroniz-
ing the cafes about town that insolence
among walters has visibly increased.
Everybody who knows anything about
New York knows what that means-an
exceedingly disagreeable state of affairs.
The evil is worse in proportion to the
Responsibility of the place" says a man
about town. I'm other words, the more
expensive the meal the more liberal the
tip. and the more insulting the walters
if it does not come up to their ideas of
what the amount of the tip should be-"
have been making some personal in
vestigations in this line myself and I'M
hesitatingly indorse the above opinion.
l have found that in every instance the
waiter expected a tip whether he had
served we'll or not, and that this expecta-
ton is made so badly apparent that the
attention of everybody in the vicinity is
called to the fact to bear unwilling wit
ness as to the extent of your liberality.
Also that too small tip will subject
you to more pronounced insult that none
at all; that any effort to correct abuse
of this character by reporting the serv-
ant is more likely to multiply your bad
treatment than to reduce 1t.
If the executive clerk or proprietor
does not recognize in you valuable Gus
toner Of the place, the chances are two
to one you will be received with more
contempt than you got at the hands Of
the waiter. No one man in 500 thus of
Tended ever complains-he simply doesn't
go back. Most city men and travellers
are not easily offended by walters. Fa-
miliar with the ways Of the waiter, they
either pay up or ignore the intended Of
Tense. 1t is the sensitive man WHO'S the
more readily blackmailed, or who, re-
sisting the levy, feels more keeniy the
insolence of the mental.
In my experiments, conducted at SIX
different respectable restaurants found
that the poorest walters, the men who
gave the poorest service, We're the most
offensive. At one place where, at the
suggestion of a friend interested in this
class of human nature, we went back to
the same waiter on the LcNt day, there
was such visible reluctance to serve
US that we We're compelled to call the
head waiter before we could get any
thing to eat. AS my rule is to reward
servant proportionately for extra service
and attention, and as some of these men
rendered this service and got nothing,
cherish no hard feelings against them
for the look of cold disappointment with
which they greeted our departure. In
discriminate tipping has made tipping
useless practically, so far as good service
is concerned. 1t has become merely so
much blackmail, and the poorest service
demands and receives the same reward
earned by and cheerfully paid the best.
Men are awful towards and would rather
be robbed outright than thought mean,
even by waiter.-New York Herald.

The Best Language For TeIephoninc.

The French language, it appears, is
better adapted to the purpose of the tele-
phone than the English. 1t is stated that
the large number of sibilant or hiss syl-
tables in English renders it less easy
and accurate means Of communication.
Some English words are especially diff
cult of transmission by telephone. The
word soldier is cited as one Of these.
Proper names frequently occur in the
midst of an otherwise perfectly audible
and intelligent conversation which the
ear cannot possibly catch. These must
be spelled out, involving delay.-Elec-
tricitY.

\ Book Brought Down From Heaven.

According to Mohammedan belief, the
first copy of the Koran, or Alboran,
their sacred book, was brought down
from the highest to the lowest heaven
by Gabriel on the mysterious night Of
Al Khade in the month Of Ramadan.
This wonderful book, written III heaven
and bound in satin, jewels and gold, was
communicated to Mohammed at differ
ent times during period of % years.
This was done, according to Moham-
medan belief, either by Gabriel in hu-
man shape or by God himself. When
Gabriel acted as translator and coumu-
nicator, he did so with 4 great sound Of
music and bells" God appeared either
yelled or unveiled during Mohammcd's
waking hours or during dreams at
night. st. Louis Republic.

Sterling signifies money from the le-

term originated as follows: 1t is a cor
ruption of Easterling-a person from

Europe, and therefore from the east in
geographical relation TO England. The
