Ho Explains Why the Vessel Sank So
Rapidly.
An interview was had with Lord George
Hamilton, frat lord OF the admiralty, TO
ascertain HIS views as to the disaster. He
said that without a doubt the Camper
downs ram had cut away the plating on
the Victoria, outside of several of her
transverse bulkheads Had this not been
the case the bulkheads could have been
closed and the water kept in one, or at
most two compartments, and the vessel
would still have foated. But with the
plating torn of or cut away outside of
several Of the bulkheads the inflow of
water would have been enormous, and
there would have been no time. even If IL
wocld have availed anything to close the
bulkheads
Lord Hamilton further said he thought

have entered the ship in solid mass, and
thus entering on one side caused the yes

The She'll of the Pearl Oyster.

Very few people are aware that the
pearl oyster is not in any way like the
oysters which we eat. It is of an 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, 900, and every year since
that time many pearls have been taken
from the beds in the California gulf val
ued at over 81. 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 to
Europe, where they are manufactured
into ornaments, knife handles, buttons
and the hundreds of other articles for
which mother of pearl is used.-Har-

"For several years L had been troubled with

sleeplessness; 1t was almost impossible at any

A Patriotic Dau~ltsr.

A young lady, the daughter Of a west
ern farmer, whose heart overiowed with
patriotism, quietly left her comfortable
home, cut OF 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
special favorite. But one'of the tactical
tribe was her special favorite and whose
reciprocal love at meeting was ALWAYS
demonstrated. When mustered out Of
service, she returned to her paternal
home, her habiliments being those of the
heroes of the war, and politely requested
permission Is 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 l meet
her and greet her with all demonstra-
lions of a loving animal to a dear friend.
Then the soldier returned to the house
hold, and instead of possessing the recog-
nizing powers of a cowit was hard work
to persuade them that she was really
their daughter.-COr. Pittsburg CON-

BLAcKMAIL IN RESTAURANTS.
How the System of Tipping Has Degenel
ated In MANY Eating Houses.

How the System of Tipping Has Degener-
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
IT 1t does mo- come up to their ideas Of
what the amount of the tip should be-"
L have been making some personal in
designations In this line myself and un-
hesltatlngly indorse the above opinion.
/ have found that in every instance the
waiter expected a tip whether he had
served well 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 libprality.
Also that too small a tip will subject
you to more pronounced insult that mona
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 it.
If the executive clerk or proprietor
does not recognize in you q valuable Gus
TONER of the place, the chances are two
to n you will be received with more
contempt than you got at the hands Of
the waiter. No one man III 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 keenly the
insolence Of the mental.

vas such a visible reluctance to serve
US that We We're compelled to call the
head waiter before we could get any

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

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. 1t has become a Gus
tom almost too strong to ignore in some
apartment houses to pay the janitor, bell
boy, elevator boy, etc, certain amounts
every month or fortnight-this without
any regard to whether the servant has
rendered any particular service or not.
The result of this indiscriminate tipping
is quite natural-you get no particular
service.
Not a 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 q 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.
l make it d 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 mel on gen
eral principles-that is, indiscriminately.
If al understanding to hat effect is es-
tablished at once upon going into a new
fiat, 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
once 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 in
variably get excellent serviceand plenty
of attention. This rule will work equally
well with the waiter if you are a regular
customer.-New York Herald.

Rare American Coins,

Coin collectors have long appreciated
the difficulty of making a complete col
lection of American specimens. The
United States coinage Of 1898 is very rare
and a dollar Of the year 1894 has often
sold for as much as 500. A 1886 half
cent is SC rare as to sell readily for S15,
and a half dollar of the same year is
worth 60 times its original value. While
the half cent of 1904 is common enough,
all the other coins of that year are rare,
the dollar Of that particular date being
the rarest of all American coins. Only
eight are known to exist out of the
1850 that We're coined. The lowest
price that one Of these now changes
hands for is S800.-London News.
