How Professor Blackie Apoiogized.

Professor Blackie was lecturing to IA
new class, with whose personnel he was
imperfectly acquainted. A student rose
to read paragraph, his book in his left
hand. Sir" Numbered Blackie, "hold
your book in your right hand!"-and as
the student would have spoken-''No
words, sir! Your right hand, 1 say!'
The student held up his right arm, end
ing piteously at the wrist. "Sir, haze
nae right hand" he said. Before Blackie
could open his lips there arose a storm
of Kisses, and by it his voice was over
borne. Then the professor left his place
and went down to the student he had
unwittingly hurt and put his arm around
the lads shoulders and drew him close.
and the lad leaned against his breast.
My boy said Blackie-hc spoke very
softly, yet not so softly but that every
word was audible in the hush that had
fallen on the classroom boy, you'll
forgive me that L was overrough? 1 did
not know-I did not known He turned
to the students, and with a look and tone
that came straight from his heart he
said, "And let me say to you ALL 1 am
rejoiced to be shown l am teaching a
class of gentlemen" Scottish lads can
cheer as well as hiss, and that Blackie
learned.-San Francisco Argonaut.

\ Slightly Changed Joke.

The difficulty experienced by foreigners
in grasping the point of an American joke
was amazingly shown few nights ago ut
one of the scashore resorts One of the gem
tlemen OF party perpetrated the old story
of the ancient knight who suddenly ex-
pcrienced Il pain and then asked if any one
could tell him what time of day it was
when this fearful incident bcfell his knight
ship. The answer, "In the middle of the
knight" WAS immensely enjoyed by a
French girl present, who soon after tried to
work off the same conundrum to n new
conner.
She proceeded with the preliminaries of
the story with great deal of difficulty and
required some outside assistance.
Now" she said, wat time you say it
was?"
II really can't imagine" said the new
conner.

He, not being able to deny the fact, mere

How the System of Tipping Has Degcncr-

How the System of Tipping Has DcGcncr-
atcd 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 tho 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.
1.-THE evil is worse in proportion to the
responsibility of the place." SAYS IL man
about town. I'm other words, tho more
expensive the meal the moro 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.
have found that in every instance the
waiter expected 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 it.
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-hes 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 OF ignore the intended Of
Tense. 1t is the sensitive man who is the
more readily blackmailed, or who, re-
slsting the levy, feels more llcenly the
insolenco of the mental.
In my experiments, conducted at s;,;
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 friend interested in this
class OF human nature, we went back to
the same waiter on the next day, there
was such Il visible reluctance to serve
us that we were compelled to call the
head waiter before we could get any
thing to eat. AS my rule is to reward Il
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.
