it in his report of last February. His

London, May 3t,-Governor Wahis, Of
Congo Free state, has a column letter
IN The Times controvertlng the state
ments recently made by Missionary
Siobloms. In this city, at public meet
ing at Exeter Hall, where the subject
Of western African Christian missions
was under consideration. He admits
the truth OF many Of the charges, such
as the mutilations and the severing Of
hands by the soldiers, which. he says,
is a native custom extremely difficult
to eradicate. He admits that an at
tack was made on the village Of Man
dakavagigs, and that many cruelties
were practiced there. But he declares
that all these offenses have either been
punished or are being investigated. The
letter is, on the whole less denial of
the ofenses imputed by the mission
aries than a justification Of the Congo
administration.

The question Of Tipping" seems
small enough in detail, but rather i'm

dinner time she was Joined by her hus-
band, who always handed the servitor

The latter sum seemed to evenly fill
the mans idea Of what was due him,
and his THANK you, sir.' was bland
and gracious, but the lady's modest
quarters always found their grave in
the black waistcoat pocket, with no ex-
preston Of gratitude from the recipi-
ent's face, which wore n meaning lock,
as of one who says, women are mean,

thing by man, but one as to put up
with EN-"
1t is only in reckless, good natured
America that optional fees are so much
larger than they ought to be. A dollar,
which is common enough sum for a
man to give at dinner in n fashionable
restaurant, would make French wait
er stare, although he would have the
presence of mind to pocket it quickly.
In Paris there is an unwritten scale
which apportions 8 per cent on the
amount of customers bill rs n tip

costs 90 would, on settling his bill. add
~ cents for the attendant
1t is time we had either a legal or in
FORMAL rule governing tips in this coun-
try, and 1t is to be hoped that some rich
persons will help on the reform.
1t will never be done by those whose

the tax, for it is one Of the errors of the
