WHERE FRENCH TIPS GO.


Into Those OF the Employers
A learned foreign numismatist has
just revealed to Parisians fact of
which most of them were certainly ig-
norant. 1t appears that at least in one
of the celebrated museums in Paris the
few sous given to the attendants at the
cloak rooms for taking care of an UNI
brella or coat do not go to the serv-
ants attached to the establishment, but
go to swell the budget of the institu-
ton.
This savant was the other day just
leaving the museum on the left bank
of the Seine, where he had greatly ad-
mired the admira BILE collection of
old coins, when he fumbled in his
pocket to find few sous to give to the
attendant who kept his umbrella. He
had drawn four sous from his pocket,
and was about to hand them over to
the attendant, along with the ticket
for the umbrella, when superbly
dressed usher told him in rather mys-
terious voice to put the money back
into his pocket He did SO, and was
rather astonished when he claimed his
umbrella to find that the attendant did
hold his hand out for the tip.
Being determined to ascertain the
cause of th.s extraordinary conduct in
city where gratuities have to be Civ
en- for everything, the foreign savant
went up to the official who had advised
him to keep his money and asked him
to explain the mystery.
The gorgeously Crossed usher de-
clared: "Well, yes, sir; it is true and
my colleagues do not care to receive
money from visitors. You see, we are
not allowed to keep it, and it only
gives us trouble. We have to put it
into the till, take it out again, count
it and make packets of it. 1t gives us
indefinite bother. 1t has to go to swell
the treasure of the museum, and only
serves to increase the number of Curl
osities you have just seen. Things
have been going on SO for the last nine
years"
The numismatist, who had never be-
fore had a gIatuity refused in Paris,
declares that he will place the four
sous he intended to give to the cloak
room attendant in his collection as the
rarest of coins he possesses. Boston

ACCORDING to the reports just issued
in London by the government board of
trade, it would appear that the safest
place where man can be is in an ex-
press train on an English railroad; for
not single passenger, of all the AGO.

first six months of this year was killed
while travelling in the train.

Half hiding the windows of the room
hung soft, fleece curtains, A low
seated rocking chair stood motionlcss
awaiting to keep time to soft lullabies.
The glass in the dresser leaned for
ward rejecting half turned glove,a
bit of veil, piece of needlework. The
presence of woman filled the room.
Beside the couch stood little bed
covered with white spread tucked
closely in all round. A pillow plump
and white rested at the head Quietly
the mother stepped about the room, as
I she feared to wakcn someone Sleep
ing in the little couch. Coming closer
she leaned over and smoothed the pill
low softly and tucked the cover closer.
Then she bent over the couch and
laid her head upon the little pillow,
then her eyes filed with tears. For
over a year the little bed had been
empty Of the precious form that once
rested there, the only one the great
God had given her; but mothers love
still lowered about the little couch.
She saw again the little face that once
slumbered there, the little hand so
plump that so often had rested outside
the cover, and over the pillow fell
again the soft brown hair. The soft
light of evening, the calm OF twilight,
seemed like benediction to her sor-
row; and as she rose, her face calm,
peaceful, but full of holy love and
resignation, silently she prayed: Il
thank Thee, oh, Heavenly, Father, that
Thou gavest her to me even for SO short
a time,and Thou willlove and tcnderly
care for her until | come. Chicago

No doubt you think you have, but
well wager dime or so he did not

swore occasionally, and no man can be
truly good who swears occasionally.
Health, nerve tranquility and morality
are apt to go hand in hand. Painful
spasmodic diseases like rheumatism and
neuralgia ruin the temper, make one
morose, peevish and rebellious. This is
sad fact, but it is none the less true.
