Tho Practice of Tipping.

"The practice of tipping is growing
steadily in this country" said an OBJ
server. persons who ten or twenty
years ago never expected tips at all do
expect them now, and persons who once
never thought of giving give now as q
matter Of course. And yet it is notsat
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
we'll 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 and as a
matter Of course. A visitor in New York
who rode upon theb box seat of two of the
Fifth avenue stages offered willingly
and courteously tip. One accepted it
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 with
unmistakable decision, declined it,

Remarkable Luck.

In Gold H;il, New, in 1877 one of the
mining bosses-T0le by name-had trouble
with some of the laborers in his mine. Ono
night three of them attacked him in q bar
room. Two of them pinned him down,
while third stood over him with a revolv-
er: The muzzle almost touched his stom-
ach. Once, twice, thrice, a fourth and q

The Vanilla Bean.

A Portland wholesale firm recently
received the largest consignment Of
vanilla beans that ever came into the
state of Maine: It Is worth 412, 600,
though its bulk would occupy but six
teen cubic feet. Imagine q tin box eight
cen inches wide and seven inches deep
and filled with bundles of long, slim,
black bean pods. Imagine that quantity
Of vegetables worth nearly ESQ, and you
will have some idea Of the value Of the
vanilla bean. The consignment consists
OF twenty eight Of these tin boxes.
This bean 10 90 valuable because Il
grows in but very few sections Of the
earth's surface. and Is difficult of culture
because 1t is . parasite Of certain trees.
These particular beans came from Nex-

the justice ageed rot 20 tell q word of the
affair, but, while he has kept his word,
dame rumor, backed By facts. has been
steadily at work.
Johnston Is q rancher. 81 years old, tall,
with thin features. and from appearances
not iady's man. He has considerable
property. however, aud in the language of
the day knows pretty girl when he meets
her. No one will dispute that he showed
good taste in making love 20 Clara Clark,
who has both pretty features and an at
tractive form. Nevertheless since July II,
the eyentful day mentioned in the war
rant, Johnston has not appeared TO hasten
toward the altar of Hymen. Miss Clark
thought he needed coaxing. so she got .
marriage license last Saturday, and after
waiting in vain until Wednesday. swore
out q warrant in Justice Caldwell's court
charging seduction. Constable Terry
King went 10 Woodinville and after . tor
tuous trip through mud and over winding
trails. found Johnston building Q new
house. King read the warrant and John
ston. who took things cooliy. replied:
Have you eaten dinnerf Ii not, sit
down."
King was hungry after his journey, so
the invitation Was acceptable, but he was
not prepared for the next remark.
WELL" said job nston, az have got one
horse, but we can't both ride. Throw up
n coin to see who will be the man."
King would not accept this proposition.
and after Johnston was mounted they
started for the station.
"Did she get a marriage iicensef" said
Johnston. in calm, thoughtful manner.
YES" replied King.

The constable bowed his head BY way OF

When they reached the Justices Office
the bride was waiting. She received her
recFeant lover with open arms, tears and
kisses. He in turn did not seem averse to
the caresses and after q few whispered
words walked into the private office,
where the nuptial knot was tied in the
presence of Judge Roger s. Greene and
Constable Terry King. Before the couple
left Miss Clark. now Mrs. Johnston. told
Justice Caldwell that she fairly worshipped
