TIPS IN ENGLAND.

Gamekeepers ScOrn Anything Less Than
Fiyc-POnnd Note.
A retired Anglo Indian officer has
published his notions on the subject of
tips" Thackerays Col. Newcome, it
wild be remembered, made a sort Of
royal progress through England on his
return from Il long sojourn in the east,
rewarding postboys with gold and max
ing walters happy with handfuls Of
silver, says the London Daily News.
This reminds the Anglo Indian officer
that there are no tippers SO hardened
and profuse as Anglo-indian tippers. 1t
is SO novel for them to be waited on by
white faces that they feel inclined to
reward the most trifiing service. They
arc, moreover. pleased to be at home
again. and touched with the civilitv
they meet with in their journeyings to
and fro their hands are everlastinply ir
their pockets.
The retired Indian officer does not
object to tips in the abstract, but he
enters protest against the giving of
gold to any domestic in house where
Que has been staying. 1t spoils the
market and is unfair to those with
slender purses. Five shillings, he con-
sidcrs. is sufficient reward for a little
extra trouble. This is very well, but
what about the gamekeepers-a large

POLAR BEAR AND WALRUS.
Strange Association Existing between the
Two Animals.


Two Animals.
Old vOyagers in Behring sea tell of
strange association betw cen the wal
rus and the polar bear. The walrus
furnishes the principal foood of this
great carnivOre. which is his deadliest
zoe. in fact. yet to see them together.
as they frequently are encountered,
one might think they were boon COM
',aniOns Living upon the field ice-will
often be seen patches" of walrus con-
tanning from thirty to fifty, and with
each of these groups will be found the
polar bear. They all are apparently
resting together in the happiest sort of
unity. Occasionally IA walrus fiops into
the water and sinks leisurely into the
depths. while others will be seen
emerging theTefrom and climbing up
on the ice.
The bear becomes hungry and de-
.cidcs he will dine with the walrus that
day. He rises to his launches and sways
himself heavily upon all Tours. After
q yawn and a stretch he saunters to the
nearest walrus and swings his power
full paw in a crushing blow on it's
head. instantly killing the animal. He
then proceeds leisurely to make IA COM
fOrta BILE dinner off the unfortunate OBJ
jet of his selection. This perform
ance. apparently, does not startle the
others. They continue to bask un-
disturbed. seemingly Indifferent to the
fate of their comradc and awaiting
their turn like stoics. The female wal
rus with young. however. does not toll
crate the presence of the bear. She
regards him with merited suspicion,
and promptly takes to the water with
her offspring on his appearance.

Mr.. SLUOGE, THE MEDIUM.
The Poet Browning Detected an Imposi-
tj0n ON Hts Wife.

ton on Ills Wues
Mr.. Frederick Greenwood. in his per-
sonal recollections. written for the
Realm" tells the following story:
Every body who lives with books has
heard that Robert Browning's 'Sludge,
the Medium reflected upon Home, and
most people have also heard that the
celebrated creature succeeded in bring
ing Mrs. Browning under his influence
completely. But the trick that unde-
ceived her 1--WE must SUPPOSE is not so
well known. 1t may have got into
print. but. if so. /. for one. have never
seen it, and tell the story as it was told
by Browning himself. Home had been
about the BrOwnings good deal, knew
many people known to them; was. in
his tea-party way, an agreeable sort of
person; and there were seances here
and seances there; and said the poet,
casting vague look about the room to
express his bewilderment, Il don't know
how it was. | did my best, but little
by little he gained her over to believ-
ing in him; how much to my distress,
imagine After awhile Home found a
yet more excellent way of working on
the poor lady's mind. She had lost {.
little child by death, and, her own
wishes running out to embrace the
promise. he began to hint that some day
he would bring the little ones spirit
into her presence. But he was slow in
performing this promise-naturally for,
otherwise, he would have lost the adj
vantage of an excited expectation,
often stimulated and as often baffled
At last an evening was named when
the mothers yearning should be
satisfied. In the customary way, light
was shut out of the room when the
three sat down. and the usual rap
pings and questionings and invoca
tions went on for time. and then
then the child's spirit was to ap-
pear And, sure enough, there did
arise above the edge of the table some
thing that was whittier than the dark,
that seemed to have motion Of its
own and the luminOusness of living
thing. and that might veritably be
what poor Mrs. Browning fancied it.
But. conscious of her trembling state of
mind, her husband was in another
guess sort of passion. i suddenly
sprang up, dashed my arm across the
table, and took hold of-what do you
think? The ScOundrel'S obscene foot
naked! The flaming anger in which
Browning finished the story-after so
many years, toO-left no doubt about
what happened next to the celebrated
medium-Home. He was instantly and
literally kicked out of the house; his
shoe and stocking after him, no doubt. ="

There lives in a certain small town a

his salary does not begin to cover liter

the conglomeration of dresses, cloaks
and hats which are sent her, though
the result is somewhat tragic. How

nobly by the children. and if the dresses
and clothes and.trousers were insists

anything about it. Last summer. how
