There has been talk from time to time
Of the clubs Of New York taking the re-
form in hand and setting the example of
giving no tips, but they have done moth
ing The average man takes the line of
least resistance, hates to be considered
mean and falls in with the social habits of
his environment. It is useless to look for
action on the part of receivers Of tips,
though in reality they suffer pecuniarily
by the custom. Moreover, they are hurt

being gratuity Ia form, reduces them
from the position Of self-respecting, wage

Too Much Lingo.

The Chicago Times is a iingoist from
a long distance to the rear. Says it ::
''Brazil thinks she needs a monarchy, but
she doesn't. What she is really suffer-
ing for is a protectorate under the stars
and stripes No more mOnarchies are
wanted on this side of the world and il
is the duty of the United States govern
ment to see that none are reconstructed
or esta blished." This is all very fine
talk but does the Times happen to know
that. up to date. the United States has
not even been able to protect its minister
in Brazil enough to permit him to send
dispatches homel She has quite enough
on her hands now to attend to her own

RAIN IN JAPAN.
How the Natives Try to Bring the
Showers Down.

During the summer season in Japan
drOughts are very frequent, and the rice
fields, before so beautiful, presenting as
they do all the different shades of green
imaginable, gradually lose their brilliancy
of color, turn yellow and parched, and
threaten the total destruction of the crop.
Not only does the rice suffer, but the
wells dry up and necessitate the carrying
of water from long distances. So a
drought in Japan is, indeed, a great
calamity
After waiting and hoping in vain for a
downfall of rain, the people turn en- masse
to evoke the power of their deities TO send
them the saving showers. A procession is
formed of perhaps POO men, all nearly
naked, who, carrying straw emblems
representing the sur with rain pouring
from it, and with long streamers having
prayers written on them flying in the
wind, proceed to the nearest river or bay,
where the whole company wade into the
water until they are Waist-deep and sur
rounding the embiems pray aloud and
throw water on the image with both
hands.
After doing this several times the pro
cesSion is reformed, when it proceeds to
the temple to pray again. This ceremony
is repeated several times, and should the
rain come in abundance prayers are Of
fered in thanksgiving; should it be only a
shower they blame themselves for not
having prayed fervently enough, and con
tinue their devotions until downpour
takes place.
Another form of devotion for the same
purpose takes place at nightfall, when
long boat is filed with men and padded
swiftly across the harbor, accompanying
the prayers by the regular beatings of
tom-toms and gongs. Sometimes at night,
away down the bay, may be heard the
weird sound of the tom-toms and the
voices of the men, gradually growing
louder and louder as the boat approaches,
each man bending to his paddle in reg
ular time as it passes US swiftly and grad
ually disappears in the darkness, and is
soon lost to sight and hearing.

Tracing Ones Ancestry.

A conversation among a group Of people
the other day all of whom were Of good
New England families, brought out some
curious admissions, says the Boston
Transcript. Only one Of the party could
trace his descent, in the line of mothers,
farther than TO his grandmother, though
several could trace IL very much farther
in the paternal line and even in what
they called the maternal line, =" which
meant of course the mothers fathers
family. All present could tell the
maiden name Of their mother s
mother, but only one could tell the
maiden name Of her mother OF course,
many In New England among those gen
ealogically careful people who can tell
you the names OF all their sixteen great
t-grandfathers aud grandmothers
can do this, but these are comparatively
few, and those who cannot carry back
the line Of mothers more than three gen
eratious include the representatives Of
some Of the most aristocratic families in
New England whose line Of paternal
descent is unbroken 70 the settlement
ami beyond.
