TIP. GABLE r. Il.

Great Expectations.

Little as there is to be said for the system of tips" in general, it is at least a comfort to know, as one does in Europe, how much is expected. In this country, where the practice of tipping" is becoming more and more common, there seems to be absolutely nothing, except the size of ones pocket book, by which to regulate such expen- ditures.
 A Chicago physician dropped into a restaurant on his way home from a lease" not long ago, and ordered a modest luncheon. When he had finish ed eating, he called to the girl who had been waiting upon him, and asked for his check. She handed him one for 60 cents, and he gave her dollar.
 Five minutes passed, and the wait ress did not appear with the change The Doctor was in hurry and grew a little impatient. Another five minutes and still no change. Five minutes more, and his time being money, the Doctor concluded to give up the change and go.
 At the door of the restaurant he was stopped by the proprietor.
 Excuse me-but you have not paid your check"
 ''I have paid it."
 Excuse me am sure you have not"
 ''I paid that girl" said the indignant physician, ''and after wasting fifteen minutes waiting for my change I am going away without it."
 The proprietor summoned the wait reSs.
 Didn't pay you dollar for my O. cent check, and don't you owe me 40 cents" demanded the Doctor.
 The waitress opened her eyes.
 My she said, you pay for your check at the desk! supposed that dol. lar was a tip"

EnYied Editor.

John Black, for many years editor of the London Morning Chronicle, prid- ed himself on being a judge of men. His pride was justified by the fact that he secured the services of many very able contributors. Mir. Black was noted for his independence and con- tented spirit, both of which are H. frustrated by the following story:
 MT. Black was in the habit of calling on Lord Melbourne, then at the head of the government, who one day said to him in his abrupt way: "Mr. Black, you are the only person who comes to see me who forgets who I am. You forget that 1 am Prime Minister"
 Black was stammering out an apol- ogy, when Lord Melbourne continued: You never ask me for anything, and wish you would"
 ''I am truly obliged to you," answer. ed Black, but don't want anything. am editor of the Morning Chronicle, I like business, and I live happily on my income"
 'Then, sir, envy your' exclaimed the premier, "and you are the only man I ever did envy"

Amusements of Europeans.

A writer in Cassell's Magazine tells what are the hobbies or amusements of some of EurOpe's great men. Mir. Bal four indulges in golf, bicycles, and philosophy, and he once played Ham let. Lord Salisbury studies science and tries experiments with test tube. MT. Chamberlain raises orchids. MT. Gladstone, of course, used to chop trees. but now reads Greek when he feels the need of rest. Prince Bismarck drinks beer, smokes and reads Du Boisgoby. The Prince of Wales is fond of bowling. The Duke of Devonshire, Sir John Millais, Andrew Lang and William Black are expert fishermen, while MT. Toole finds something funny to do or say almost every hour of the day. Once he sent a package of choco- late to little boy who sat in 8 stage box and was disturbing him with his astOnishingly loud laughter. The attan- dant delivered the packet, With Mr. Toole's compliments, and would the young gentleman who laughed so heartily kindly eat these during the performancew

Tine DeIineascnne.

Lieut.. Col. P. Neville has invented an instrument for military and topo- graphical surveying called the delinea- scope. This consists of a small port able camera having lens with a fixed focus. The lens is directed downward and has beneath it a mirror inclined at an angle of 45 degrees to the axes of the lens. This throws a picture of the landscape with right ani left re- versed on. the tracing paper on a hori- zontal object glass. By using focusing glass the main features of the land scape are traced on the paper, which is then reversed on a card ruled in squares similar to those in the note book into which the sketch is to be copied and recorded. The details can then be added by eye and the more

Mozart the Prodigy.

In one of the peaceful arts, we have the astonishing example of the Aus trian musician and composer, Mozart. This lad was what we call a prodigy. He was the son of the band-master to the Archbishop of the city of Salzburg. At four years of age-and you will ad- nit that is truly young played the violin with the greatest ease, with an expression really wonderful. He also composed those old-fashioned dances, so quaint and sweet, called minuets, besides other simple pieces. At even, he made tour of Europe, giving con- certs, playing before kings and queens, and surprising the whole musical world. Then, when he was about twelve, he began to write operas, and so originally and delightful were these that he may be said to have founded a school or manner of writing musical compositions of a dramatic nature. After having done the work of two lifetimes he died at the early age of thirty y-nine-St. Nicholas.

antiouitv of Precious Stones

Gems were not cut until the six teenth or seventeenth century, being used in the rough before that period / AS early as 2,400 years before Christ precious stones were used as orna- ments, and more gems were cut dur ing the Roman empire than during any other period. Later Venice and Genoa became the great gem markets of she world, and upon the discovery of the new world, its supply was called upon to furnish the old world. The prehis- toric races of the new world made great use of pearls, and some of the finest seen are yet to be found in the con- tinent discovered by Columbus. India was the first country to produce dia- monds, the finest precious stones, and at one time as many as 5000 men were employed in the GOlconda mines. 1t has always been a remarkable fact that the so-called conservatism of the world in the matter of diamonds condemns new diamond fields and their products Amsterdam represents about one-third of the trade in diamonds.

"Good for One Crave"

On a 'grab-bag" might be inscribed Tt is the unexpected that happens A Bangor pastor invited all the people to contribute something to the mann moth ''grab-bag" of the parish fair.
 On the second evening of the fair a respectable citizen, imbued with the spirit of doing good in the church, paid the fee and grabbed. A crowd collect ed about him, all anxious to see what he had drawn, and his surprise may be easily imagined when he found he had a note with the following inscrip- ton:
 Good for one grave, dug any time during the ensuing year. John Spader."
 The village grave-digger had put in his gift with the rest, and the respect able citizen had chanced upon an un- usual bargain.

The Coo1 SunnIy.

According to the estimates of the President of the Reading Railroad, MT. Harris, the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania originally contained 14,- 453, 100000 tons of coal, of which 2,592, 100000 tons have already been mined, leaving Il, ,921 ,O0O, 900 tons yet untouch- ed. At the rate of 45,O0O,OOO tons year this would last 265 years, but as about half of the remaining supply would probably be unavailable for mining, the fields may be practically exhausted in 130 years. MT. William Griffith esti- mates that the coal supply in the Wyo- ming district of Pennsylvania will last for f1fty-two years longer.

JUST ONE YEAR OLD.

Just one short year ago he came, Our little son, God bless himl A heaven-sent treasure he is ours, To care for and caress him, No matter if the days be drear, Our hearts he never fails to cheer. When to my work 1 go away l stoOp and softly kiss him; And through the long, long hours of day l sadly, sadly miss him; Until at last, at set of sun l go to him when work is done. With outstretched arms and winning
 smile,
 He coos a loving greeting; Iris hard to tell which one of us Is happiest at our meeting, This joyous frolicsOme young elf, His loving mamma, or myself. His dimpled arms around my neck Cling close in soft caresses; While 'gainst my bronzed and bearded
 cheek,
 His dewy lips he presses. Oh, little loveI Oh, baby mine! You closely round my heart-strings twine. God grant that in the years to come He ne'er may know a sorrow; May peace and happiness be his, With every coming morrow, And may Thine everlasting arn, Protect and keep him safe from harm. Oh, baby mine, when years have flown, And l am old and hoary, When you to mans estate have grown, And strong in manhood's glory, Oh, never may our hearts grow cold, Dear baby boy, just one year old.

The War on Moths.

According to the Scientific American the only effective way to protect furs and clothing against the rayages Jf moths is by keeping the moth-millers from laying their eggs in the goods. Moths dislike the smell of camphor, cedar, tobacco, etc., "but if the eggs are really laid the grub will pursue it's de- structive work without paying any at tention to the odors, and would do so were the smell many times more pun gent" It is said that furriers have no other secret for keeping furs than this, Viz.: they wrap the furs tight in paper, and carefully paste the ends so that no openings remain for insects to get through; and once month, at least, they examine the goods, beat and air them, and then carefully reseal them in paper.

REvErLLE ON SAIPsoARD,
The BugIe Calls Ali Hands to Lash
 Up the Hs smmocks.

 1 Let us spend a day on board of 6 man-of-war and see how this is done ! Let us suppose that she is in port. We l take our place on the deck very early | in the morning The heavens are bright with stars, and about us masts and rig ] ging, smokestacks and ventilatorS, rise up in shadowy outlines, while the big 1 guns loom. ill-defined and ghostlike. In l the gangway sentinels are pacing; on the bridge a quartermaster keeps his 1 lookout; and back and forth on the quarterback paces an officer, alone. By the light of a lantern he presently con- suits a book for the morning orders" which have teen written by the execu- tive officer the night before; and then he directs the quartermaster to call the boatswain's mate, the hammOck-stow- CTS, the master-at-arms, and the bugler. Then passes a period of ten minutes, during which a few shadowy figures appear on deck, and take their stand beside the long trough-like places in the ships bulwarks known as the ham, mock-nettings, opening them up and preparing them for the reception of the hammocks. Then, at the time as- signed in the morning orders, the off, cer of the deck gives his first routine order: Sound the reveille! Call all handsp
 At once there ring out in the hitherto silent ship those merry bugle notes known to all of us. To them have been fitted the words:
 1 can't get 'em up;
 l can't get 'em up;
 l can't get 'em up in the morning.
 l can't get 'em up;
 l can't get lem up;
 can't get 'em up at all!

 But the majors the worst of allI

 1 can't get lem up;
 can't get 'em up in the morning.
 I can't get 'em up;
 l can't get 'em up;
 l can't get 'em up at all!
 The last note is followed by the shrill whistle of boatswain's mate and the prolonged, hoarse cry: "A-a-a-ll ha-a- ndsw
 Then on the decks below you can hear the master-at-arms rushing from ham, mock to hammock, giving the slug gards slap and a shake, and repeated ly crying:
 "Heave out; heave out and lash up" Run below and watch the feet and legs dangling from the swinging ham, mocks; see the sailors drop from them to the deck, like bats from the limbs of trees, then neatly fold their blankets, roll them up with the mattress in the hammocks, and pass around the latter seven times a rope-lashing, until each resembles huge sausage. Then, un- them from the hooks over head, they carry them hastily on deck | to the nettings; for in ten minutes after | that bugle-call of reveille every ham, mock must be slowed away, and any one who comes later with his hammock | is reported for punishment by the off, | cer of the deck to the captain.-St. | Nicholas.

Bird Music.

In NIT. Nehrling's treatise on North American birds, now being published in successive parts, he calls attention to a singular arrangement of bird songs, kind of daily musical program. which nature seems to have fixed. The robin, he says, opens the music from the earliest daybreak, singing in a seri- ouS and solemn strain but the bobo- link, with it's cheerful and rollicking notes, does not begin until sunrise. when the robin has almost ceased. The morning program thus proceeds from grave to gay. In the evening, accord ing to MT. Nehrling, this order is re- versed, ''and after the comedy is con- cluded nature lulls us to repose by the mellow notes of the vesper sparrow and the pensive and still more melo- dious strains of the solitary thrush"

A HeadIirht Signal.

A new Idea in headlight signaling has been brought out by H. J. Davis, of Pueblo, Col. Instead of using the simple curtain to darken the. light when the train is in siding to clear, he en- ploys 8 shade that shows a red head light when the train is on siding, but not in to clear, and blue headlight when they are in to clear.

Mr.. M. j. Murphy arrived in town to-
day, in advance of the Chauncey Olcott
company. To most Of the Celtic portion
of our population, M. Murphy's name
is household word. he having achieved
considerable reputation in the lecture
field and in journalism as a lecturer and
writer on Irish subjects. For some time
past he has been associated with the
Hon. John F. Finerty, of Chicago. in
giving joint lectures on Irish history and
music. Mr.. Murphy is very enthusiast
tic over the merit Of Chauncey Olcott.
for whose appearance here next week
he ia now making arrangements. He
claims that Chauncey Olcott is the first
Irish comedian since the days of the
famous John Collins, who is capable of
being thoroughly refined and graceful,
interpreting the character OF an Irish
man with all his native gentility in.
stead Of the stable boy type so gener.
ally portrayed as specimens Of Irish
manhood. Being a man OF extensive
musical education and experience, Mr..
Murphy'e opinion means something
when he says that Mr.. Olcott is the only
