TIC PRACTICE of Tipping.

"The practice Of tipping is growing
steadily in this country" said an OBJ
server. "Persons who ten or twenty
years ago ne 2r expected tips at all do
expect them now, and persons who once
never thought Of giving give now as a
matter of course. And yet it is not at
all probable that tipping will ever be-
come as widespread here as it is in some
foreign countries. The spirit of personal
independence which leads every man
here to think himself as good as any
body else is against it. There are some
branches of work of q public and semi
public nature in which those engaged
abroad willingly accept tips, while men
similarly employed in this country
would resent them. In some branches
of work custom does not appear to be so
well defined.
"In London, for instance, many stran-
gers who sit upon the box seat of an
omnibus, and who ask the driver for in
formation about the buildings and points
of interest on the way, offer him tip,
and he accepts it cheerfully ard as a
matter of course. A visitor in New York
who rode upon the box seat Of two of the
Fifth avenue stages offered willingly
and courteously tip, One accepted il
in the spirit in which it was offered, but
not with the offhand manner that would
have characterized the London driver
The other, with perfect civility, but witt
unmistakable decision, declined it,

When we purchase few grains Of quinine
at the druggists TO break a cold, cure a
headache, reduce a fever or to prevent an
attack of malaria, the great value Of the
drug is rarely realized and appreciated. No
drug has been in such universal demand
and use as quinine II has. a beneficial ef-
feet ON scores OF diseases, and three-quar-
tiers of the prescriptions put up contain
more or lcss Of quinino. IL is used for a
tonic and fever cure. Thousands Of peo-
pie rush to it on the first symptom OF dis
ease. There has recently been an under
production Of the cinchona tree, from which
quinine comes, and It is estimated that In
1891 there was more quininc consumed than
was produced
1t is, moreover, predicted that the con
sumption will continue to increase ON the
production until the price OF it goes up, a
it did many years ago. The medical pro
fession claim that n great deal more Of tn,
drug isused than is really needed, and 4
will require only slight advance in th,
price to stop it. Formerly there was bis
profit in growing the cinchona trees, but o
late years the drug has been so cheap tha
planters have neglected their work. Al
increase in its price would not cause th'
planting of new groves, for planters eoul,
never hopefor the old prices and profts.-

least engendered distaste for them, as
might be expected. Glove in cottage"

never could fully comprehend the bliss
therein contained. Life was to me q
battlefield, and as such | loved it, aad
my interesting relations with certain
young lady in the great city yonder gave
point, purpose to the fight.
Like most students | had before this
oftentimes been sorely concerned about
my future station in life, and generally
the prospect was decidedly dark. Then |
would fling my lexicon in a distant cor
ner, and in the language of the old
dramatist Otway howl most piteously:

Now this was gone, and no more re-
peated Otway, unless it was that pas
sage a little after that;

Hanging is Postponed.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky, Dec 26.-Bob
Harper, the negro who has been in Jail
here for a week as the assailant Of Miss
Kate Anderson. some time since, has
been identified by her. Great excite
ment prevails, and the mob that sew
.eral times tried to hang him, again
last night demanded him of the jailer.
Miss Anderson requested that the
negro be not lynched, as eachrecurring
Christmas would be an awful memory
to her, and the request was so stated to
the mob by citiz9ns who preferred to
see the law take its course.
The mob appointed a committee 30
decide the matter, agreeing to abide
by its ruling. The question of lynch
ing him was discussed and it was voted
to hang him to-day. Three voted to
hang him Christmas day.
The men then quietly dispersed, hav-
ing agreed to re-assemble today at a
time not given out.

HAMBURG, Germany, Dec. % The

that the warm weather will herald the
approach of another season of epidemic
grows in strength daily.
The list Of new cases and deaths is
small, but it betokens that the disease
is only quiescant and needs only favor
able conditions to again ravage the
city. The report for yesterday shows
two new patients removed to the hos
pital and one death.
Every precautjon has been taken to
check the disease, but it is feared that
the seeds Of death s0wed last summer
will yield a fruitful harvest in the
spring.

HARD TIMES FOR THE CHICAGO
PACKERS.
Receipts of Hogs have Fallen of, and
5000 Men are out of Work.


CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 25.-The packing
house business has reached q dullness
not ~paralleled for many years. Five
and the plants of the big packers have
been working at less than half their
capacity since December LIST. This
state of affairs is brought about by the
unusual shortage in hog receipts. I'm
less the supply is speedily increased
further reductions in the operating
forces will be made necessary.
Statistics for November show q short
age in hog receipts of 1 $40 600, as
compared with November, 1891. Chi
cago for the same period this year
packed 1900 600 hogs, against lao, 600
last year. Leading packers admit that
there does not seem to be any chance
for immediate relief, and some of them
go so far as to assert that no relief can
come until next springs supply of hogs
is marketed.
Usually at this time of the year the
packing houses r running at their
full capacity, but now the remarkable
scarcity of hogs and the big prices
asked for the stock in the market
makes the packing work decidedly eX-
pensive. Robert StrahOrn, who has
been in the business for over thirty
years and is amply qualified by expert
ence to speak on the matter, said:
"Heavy spring rains have played a
prominent part in the situation. Wet
weather killed off the pigs that would
be marketable now. Then the low
prices of the product early in the
spring made farmers careless, and in
stead of keeping their hogs as they
usually do until the holidays, they fat
tened them on corn early and sent them
to the market. There is and will be a
demand for fresh pork here and a de-
mand from Europe for picked meats
which takes all the receipts, leaving
little for packers to put in their own
cellars"
Another packer said that while prices
for hogs had advanced to almost double
that of a year ago prices for provisions
have not kept pace with the advance
in hogs, conse quently the season has
not been a profitable n for the pack
ers. No change for the better is eX-
pected for several months.
