Sailors Drop From the Main Royal

The accident, as related BY those on

anchored off Chic Ledge. Capt. Herstegle
had been obligedto come to anchor because
OF the dense fog. While waiting for ia

thus his life was saved.
Those who observed the man In his fall

INCREASING EVIL OF TIPS.

A Few Years Ago They Were within
the Bounds of Reason.
A decade ago, even, tips" were seldom
bestowed in thiscountry outside OF domestic
service, and even with servants q visitor
felt no obligation to remember any but
those who had rendered him personal at
tenton. A dollar was considered an amply
sufficient douceur. says the New York
Tribune. Now however, 1t has become a
most serious tax In every direction, while
in private houses it has grown to be such
a heavy obligation. especially In an up-to-
date fashionable household, that poor
young men are actually obliged to refuse
invitations On account of the outlay neces-
sary to visit in a friends house. A few
days stay necessitates an expenditure
almost equal TO o hotel bill for that period
of time.
This Is obviously wrong and hardly hos
pitable, and fashionable people should do
something to put an end to an unwritten
law which must seriously Inconvenience
many of their guests. 1t Is hard to know
just how this evil could be checked,
as host is not supposed to be aware that
the perquisites Of his servants, which are
often more tuan the wages ne gives tnem,
are what keeps them in q good humor
with an influx OF visitors, and that his
guests are really paying for his hospitality.
1t is an unpleasant idea ,one would suppose,
To the entertainer. but this is what 1t ac-
tually amounts to. The only way to correct
this state of things would be 10 engage Ser
wants with the distinct understanding that
no tips should be received, and that the enl-
ployer only should pay for services to his
guests. With liberal wages this could easily
be arranged, and the new order of things
would certainly be great relief to visitor
and visited.
1t is NO doubt true that some wealthy
people, used to lavish expenditure and
not possessing R.uch sense of the value OF
money, make life in some directions hard
for those who have equal refinement but
less money. The summer resident who,
through careIessness or ignorance or
thoughtIess Bberality, pays for local service
of any kind more than the market value,
and really more than it Is worth raises
inevitably the tariff for those employers
who haven't money thus to throw away.

"IT's ENGLISH You KNOW"
And the Anglo-daniac Has Taken to
Wearing Rubbers.

And the Anglo-Maniac Has Taken to
Wearing Rubbers.
The young American who has SO long
considered it necessary-in order to be
quite Enghsh-to go about on rainy
days without rubbers, soaking his feet
aud cutting off his useful life in its early
bloom, can now put on rubbers when 1t
rains, and be comfortable a nd dry, and live
to a green and hearty old age, for it has
come TO be quite English to wear rubbers
The change is comparatively recent
Sle. The rubber overshOe, as every one
doubtless knows, is an America tnstitu-
tiou, and the Euglishman requires long
time to get used 10 American institutions
1t took him eight long years to get used
toprttipg General before the name OF George
Washington. The English, being rub
berless, have from time immemorial worn
thick, heavy shoes, aud relied upon their
thickness to keep their feet dry; and the
more they have been impressed with the
desirability of dry feet the thicker aud
heavier have become their shoes. mans
shoe would have sole an inch thick and
q womau's shoe would be nearly as heavy.
Now, these shoes, very thick OF sole, aud
with uppers like the hide OF a rhiuoceros,
Gid very well out-of-doors in bad weather,
but when they were worn in the house, as,
of course, they had to be-iu the office,
in the parlor, in the dining room-they
were uncomfortable, ungainly and hideous.
aud as much out OF place as an alderman
in a prayer meeting.
Undoubtedly the ELs lishman would have
gone on another hundred years wearing
these misshapen shoes, which made the hu-
man feet look more like a quarter OF beef,
had 1t not been for the fact that couple
of years ago they had a genuine New Eng
land winter in old England, with snow and
sno " and snow. and the Englishman's shoe,
not withstanding its thickness and weight,
proved Inadequate for the emergency, for
the feet inside would get wet. Then some
thrifty Engiishman-or more likely some
Yankee-imported into England American
arctics, calling them American snow
shoes" The women saw the advantage Of
them right away, and proceeded to wear
them, and the men folio wed suit That was
the opening wedge. Then the lighter rub
bers, which all sensible and serious minded
Americans have worn from their youth up,
were exported TO the mother country, and
suddenly 1t da wncd upon the Enghshman
like great inspiration thatft Was not neces-
saryfor him to wear the same weight of shoe
outdoors and indoors, TO be taken off when
he entered dra wing room and left in the
hall. So their thick shoes have been grad
ually getting thinner and more like the
American pattern, and when there comes
stormy day they are learning to put on rub
bers-just as We do.
Therefore, young Americans with an An
glo-maniac bent will now no longer be COM
PEELED to go about in the rainy weather with
wet feet, to the great detriment of their
health and 10 the general distress of the COM |
munity. They can don their "galoshes"
whenever it becomes overcast, knowing |
that all the swells on Piccadilly are doing |
the same.
