An unthinking youth with legs shaped
like darning needle and back bumped

He glanced at the machine of the elderly

the word:

THE TIPPING EVIL

Lewis Morris iddings, writing in Serb
ner's on Tho Art Of Travel" declares
that the tipping evil is worse in America
than in Europe He says:
Rarely in hotels, at home or abroad,
does one get much attention for more than
a day or two without feeling or letting it
be known that fees may be expected finally
for proper service. This is the sad result
Of lavish giving In days gone by on the
part Of Americans, who did not know first
what to offer and desired that the servants
should not think them mean. The evil
probably never will be reformed. All that
the traveller can do now is to insist on
excellent attention, and then give what
seems proper, utterly regardless OF the re-
ciEient's opinion. If one really cares for
what is thought, peace OF mind on q
journey or in the hotel is not for him.
The poorest service In the hotels is given
by the women servants, and therefore the
housekeeper may often be sent for to
note neglect in cleanliness.
This may require fee, too (about
francs but the service thereafter is likely
to he sullen; so that finally. when the
situation is not to be borne without loss OF
temper one wisely concludes that the hotel
is not OF his kind, and he goes elsewhere.
1t is worth while to compliant once to the
manager if matters are wrong; but if that
effects no reform one had better move on,
because il will be evident that the manage
meut does not care whether he sta ysor goes.
The European landloard and especially the
lapdlady, is a callous creature, who smiles
and smiles, and is a villain still.
'Yet the evil OF fleeing is worse at home
1t is hardly possible to make anything go
in an American hotel in the Eastern States

large sum. But are not fees expected in

The Republican Policy.

1t appears that Mr. smalIey. formerly

correspondent OF the London Times. has

and the Presidents conversation, as ap-
pears further, impressed Mr.. snialley with

Improving Americanism.

In some and important respects the
apparent policy OF the State Department
is more American and satisfactory than.
II was feared, might have been the case.
Willingness TO join in and help to accom-
| plish the strong national desire TO annex
the Hawaiian Islands, is one Of the indica-
tions that we like. Taking the initiative
in connection with submission OF the sup
pressed truth about the troubles and out
RACES in Cuba is another Now, we shall
hope TO see Secretary Sherman equally
American in assisting his old political
opponent. Senator Morgan, in denouncing
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. We are as
sured that he is strongly in favor of an
American canal across Nicaragua. That
is excellent. So that the canal is made
an assured and national fact, he is not
likely to find anything but support and
good wishes from Americans OF all parties
Oh that score.
Secretary Sherman's exact position ON
the arbitration question is not so plain,
and as far as reported, not quite as
satisfactory. He is right on one point,
however. No treaty Of arbitration or any
thing else should be ratified which would
destroy, limit or affect the treaty-making
preFogative of the United States Senate.
The Senate viii take care of that feature
beyond doubt, but it would do we'll to 70
a step farther and certainly amend the
British measure so that its terms or it's
power shall not include questions and diff
trine, or in connection with the Nicaragua
canal. We cannot help believing that the
greater part of Lord Saiisbury's interestin
the measure was not included in his de-
sire to bind US in just those directions, as
wen asinconnection with boundarydisputes
around Alasks. The widespread suspicion
to that effect in this country should be
allayed by specific exceptions and amend
ments.
Otherwise, OF course, we want peace
and arbitration with Great Britain and
everybody always until we get mad enough
about something to fight, and then to
Texas with all such restraining papers
Any other view would simply write US
down as a homeless and toothiess nation.

How Mr.. Wellington Did 1t.

Senator Wellington, of Maryland. has
been telling one of the New York papers
how he happened to make his way TO the
Senate. He attributes his success to three
causes; first, his positive bel ief in the ex-
istence Of a Republican majority in Mary
land; second, his determination TO have
the Republican vote regist cred and counted.
and third. his frankness with regard to ms
desire to Toe United States Senator. Mr..
Wellington points out that these tasks
We're not easy. The opposition was under
the leadership of the most adroit political
general in the Union, but all of these
antagonistic forces were overcome and
what had been striven for by Maryland
Republicans for thirty years was OBJ
tanned.
Mr. Wellington concludes that hard
wolH is a secret of all success. though no
htAc.l success, after ali, can be obtained
only through the favor OF the people them
selves Possibly Mr.. Wellington exag-
gerates little the standing of MFR. German
when he calls him the most adroit politi-
cal general in the United States, but there
lie no harm in his jollying his own capacity
In that way nor in his fine good-humored
compliment to the people of Maryland.

IL is not to be expected that anything
which newspaper can say can possibly
influence Mr.. Reed and his House Of
Representatives, or possibly Mr.. Hobart
and his Senate. But we beg to call the
attention Of the national lawmakers TO
the fact that the Postoffice Department
lately asked for an appropriation of $780,
600 for the decent entertainment of the
guests of the United States from all over
the world to the approaching qulnquennial
meeting of the International Postal Union,
soon TO be held in Washington. This amount
was cut down to $50, 900, and that item
stands in the deficiency bill. May it not
be increased, so that the invitation OF this
Govern ment to the representatives of
foreign governments may be shown to have
been extended in good faith? Or, If that
is asking too much, may not the $4,000
be allowed? That would enable the Post
office authorities to do something in the
way of hospitality.

TO CLEAN LACES

Nothing is more destructive to laces than
careless washing. Where the lace is rare
or ex pensive. OF course, 1t is always the
better plan to turn it over to trustworthy
establishment, that makes a speciality OF
cleaning and repairing such articles. but
with the less expensive iaces the clean
ing can as well be done at home. 1t is
not difficult nor tedious task. but one
requiring care and the use of proper ma
terials.
Real lace and delicate silk laces are easily
cleaned by the use Of benzine, gasoline or
naphtha But as these articles are infIam-
mable it is better to use them in a room
where there is no fire. Basic the lace
smoothly on piece of thin muslin, being
careful to leave a good margin or the mus
lin on all sides Of the lace. Put the gaso-
line in a bowl and douse the lace and mus
lin ND and downin it rapidly. IL the gaso-
line becomes dirty put the lace into another
vessel and pour fresh gasoline over 1t. Dip
IL up and down, being careful To keep the
lace on the under side until it is perfectly
clean. Then stretch the cloth, with the
lace upper most, on a clean table and Sc
cure it with afe W tacks or pins. This should
be placed In room where no dust will fall
on it and allowed to remain all day, for,
while it will dry in a short time, a days
airing will be necessary to be rid of the
odor II the gasoline that has been used
is set aside for u few thours the cirt will
all settle tn the bottom, and the clear gas
oline can be poured off and used again to
wash silk, kid gloves or anything that
cannot be washed in water.
Yet another way is to sew thel lace care
fully on a bottle or seme such article Cow
cred for the purpose and soak ii in hotsoap-
