THE LAW ABOUT TIPPING.
What B Visit to an English House Vii
 Cost Guest.

What n Visit to an English House Will
 Cost a Guest.
 Let mo attempt to throw ray of light into this cavern of dark ness and try to suggest what are the sums generally given by knowing people in England under vari- ous circumstances. To begin with, let us take the simplest casc-that of an unmar- ried man who stops from Sunday till Monday in the house of a friend who keeps only parlor maid or singlo mansorvant. Here half crown should be quite enough for tho servant. In tho case of a married couple, the lady, if without maid, adds half Q crown for the housemaid. The coachman, if there is one, must have his shilling after driving you to tho station. If the visitor stops for week, he should make his donation shillings. He should allow, that is, about sixpence night and sixpence over as a sort of ground tax.
 We como next to the case of Saturday to Monday in more elaborate establishment --i. G., where a butler and a footman arc kept Here the Saturday to Monday guest must distinguish. If tho footman looks after him, the footman should have half Q crown, and the butler also half a crown, in consideration of the fact that tho butler will probably order your. fly for you and look out for your trains. If, however, the footman is kept in the background al together and the butler valets you, the butler takes the whole 5 shillings. If you stop for a longer time-say week-these sums should be raised to or shillings in each case
 If tho visitor brings man of his own, the tip to tho footman, of course, disap- pears, but that to the butler usually re- mains. When tho roally great establish ments are reached, different rules prevail. The ordinary bachelor guest need perhaps only trouble himself about the special foot man told off to wait on him. Unless the butler is an old friend or has to be asked to do something out of tho way there is no cause to tip him. National Review.

NOT THE SAME GIRL.
But She "Was Glad" Time Hadn't Had, 3T Any Changes In Her.

Any Changes In Her.
 Tho following anecdoto has both com ieal and pathetic side. What a long time 50 years is in tho lifo of a human bcinsi And how far apart, how unlike in tastes, feelings, opinions and habits men and women can become who in childhood slept under tho same roof, attended the same school and dreamed of nothing but of be ing friends forever! gentleman whose "courtly manners were mentioned in all the newspapers when he tlied few years after this incident fancied in his old age that he wished to sec his boyhood friends and most of all the fair young girl whose love long years before he almcst, but not quite had dared to ask.
 He forgot country manners and called at half past 1 in tho forenoon. He was asked to walk right out into the kitch- en, as there was no fire anywhere else.
 His early admiration stood before him in worn calico dress, no collar and a wido and not faultlessly clean apron. Her half combed grizzly hair was tucked under a rusty black lace cap trimmed with faded purplo ribbon. Sho had no teeth, and huge pair of silver bowed speotacles were pushed up on her brown, wrinkled fore head.
 Fifty-two years beforo they had parted Wltn d KISS, ana ne DaQ been intending to meet her with ono, and thus bridge the chasm of years, but he changed his mind when through his gold bowed glasses he took in tho picture before him.
 Wiping her hands on her apron, she gayo him a hearty handshake and bade him ''sit right down, adding that they were killing hogs and trying up lard, but if he would 'stay to dinner she would have ia fire put in the front room 'i
 Of course he declined tho invitation, and for his own comfort as well as for his convenience he determined to make his call short. Still he must sry something complimentary before leaving, but what could he say?
 Just then the lard boiled over, and with shrill cry to her daughter to "come quick the woman jumped up and caught hold of the kettle. The sinoke and per fume were in themselves far from agreed ble, but they were grateful to the caller as they gave him chance for the desired compliment.
 Your step has lost-none of it's elasticity since the evening we sauntered together along the banks of the R, " he said, while this"-holdir 2 out bis gold headed cane --''is needed to support mine'
 Yes, " answered the woman, "I'm as spry as a kitten, and have thought ever since you've been here that I was glad enough time hadn't changed mo as it has you. "-Youth's Companion.

A Roserreo COMMUNITY.
An English Parliamentary Election as It
 Was In tho Olden Times.

At the time of which write borough elections were carried on with those char acteristics which have been graphically described by Dickens in his familiar &C., count of the election in the little 'sborough of Eatanswill' as we'll as by MT. Samuel Warren in tho return of Sir Tittlebat Tit tlemouse by tho worthy and independent electors of Yatton.
 In the Ludlow election there were three candidates ono Henry Give, or Warm ing Pan Clive," as he was called, being put forward by the Give family to keep tho place "warm' for younger member not yet of age "Warming Pan Give" was a perfectly unknown individual, but ho camo before tho people of Ludlow with all tho best qualities and characteristics of a country gentleman, and with-what was of more consequence to tho free and inde- pendent electors of this ancient borough purse full of money supplied for election contingencies by Earl Fowls of Fowls cas- tlo and tho Hon. Mir. Give of oakly park. Tho second Tory candidate was Lord Will liam Paulet, younger son of the Earl of Winchester, Lord Paulet WIS unknown to tho electors of Ludlow. He was deaf In tho left ear and had the unenviable repu- tation of being kleptomaniac. His only 
 Ludlow people was the fact that lie was friend of tho Gives and had been sent to secure their vote by tke Tory committee of the Carlton club Their opponent was strong Whig, Colonel Salway, whose fam ilywere highly respected townspeople, and who wGs himself colonel in the British army.
 In those days olectioncering candidates adoDted certain ColOrS-fOr Give scarlet and purple, crimson for Paulet, sky blue and yellow for Salway. Every draper and mercer in tho town, according to his party, was commissioned to supply, freo of charge, any number of roscttcs at tho ex- ponse of tho candidate, and during the contest there was not man, woman, child or baby of the 1000 individuals who constituted tho town and borough of Lud low who did net display tho colors of their respective party.-Evan Stanton in Home and Country.

Grateful.

In Mrs. Olive Thornes Miller's volume, "Our Home Pets,'' is told story of q dear collie dog and his gratitude The dog, it appears, was great pet in the family of a colonial soldier and was particularly noted for his antipathy to Indians, whom he de- lighted to track.
 On one campaign against the French the dog insisted on accompanying his mas ter, although his feet were in terrible condition from having been frozen the previous winter During the fight, which ended in the famous Braddock defeat, the dog was ever beside his master, but when it was over they became separated, and the soldier concluding that his pet had been killed, went home without him.
 Some weeks later, however, the dog ap- peared in his old home, separated from the battlefield by many miles of thick forest. He was tired and worn, but over his sore feet were fastened neat moccasins, show ing that he had been among Indians, who had been kind to him. Moreover, he soon proved that he had changed his mind about his former foe, for neither bribes nor threats could ever again induce him to track aD Indian.

Netting Malay Tapirs.

Colonel Charles B. Hicks has arrived in this city after spending two years in the orient. The colonel has been hunting tigers and wild boars with the rajah of Jadpour, and has also been pursuing ta- pirs in tho Malay peninsula He said:
 ''In starting out after tapirs we take a flat bottomed boat, with bamboo house on it, lights in the stern and equipped with a crew If natives. Thus provided the hunter sails up the river. Now, there is leaf of peculiar tree in Malay, which, if burned, emits an odor which can be smelled for miles and miles. The smell draws the tapirs. So no tapir hunter omits to keep a supply of these leaves.
 "We were supplied withnets, and when. evor tapir was caught in net we had lively time The tapir would founder and fight It took the best skill of the natives to hold him till he could be lowed to land and secured. However, tho natives such as we employed had had so much experi- ence that they managed the work we'll.

COOKS AND THEIR DRINKS.
Why the Boss of the Kitchen Goes on an
 Occasional Spree.

Occasional Spree.
 "You ask if she is a drinking woman, ma'amS" said the proprietor of a restau- rant to lady who had inquired about the character of cook. "Why, yes, to be sure she has her sprees but she always sobers up>cnoueh to do her work we'll I gave her a recommendation as a first class cook, and didn't think it necessary to say anything about her drinking, for they nearly all drink. They need it to keep themselves up, because they swallow so much hot air. We give them spirits on principle, and other houses do the same"
 Various reasons have been given for the intemperance of this class. It is said to be due to the tasting of sauces etc., favored with spirits, to the lack of appetite which the constant sight and odor of cooking produce, and the consequent necessity for stimulants to give strength to continue work, or to the exhaustion of the system by the high temperature, which produces a craving for spirits Whatever the cause, it is pitiable to know that many contract habits that blight their lives and entail a miserable old age.
 Women who cook for small families and whose work is not exhaustng are not specially prone to tho excessive use of stimulants. Tho trouble is with those who in hotels, restaurants, large board ing houses, etc., are in the kitchen and over the stove from morning to night Undoubtedly there are temperate women among these, but many are incorporate.

A Double Catch.

A farmer named Sam Jones set trap for fox in clearing in Seabury Settle ment, N. Y, and when he went to see if he had caught anything he found that the trap was gone, notwithstanding 1t had been secured by chain and heavy sta pie driven into log. The chain had been broken off, and fox tracks led away, leav- ing q tolerably plain trail in the dead leaves. The trail Jones followed until he reached small opening some dozens of rods away, where on the moss lay his fox, dead and holding fast by the throat with its jaws dead eagle. The eagle in sailing over the woods had spied the fox in the trap and had swooped down upon it, but tho fox, although crippled by the trap, had made q gallant fight and had killed his assailant while yielding up his own life = I-- z.
