The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-04-03

With all our national faults. and doubt
less their name is legion. there are certain
American characteristics that are I'M
Questioned. No one, says the New York
Tribune. has a word TO say against Amerl-
can hospitality. 1t is only just to say
that our countrymen are eminently what
is called "free-handed." They give free
". and take a pleasure in giving. and it
Is for that reason that people who make
q habit of entertaining should endeavor
10 correct a social evil that is greatly on
the increase. Tipping servants is .becom-
ing more and more of a tax, and the
amount which these pampered individu-
ais expect and morally extract in the way
OF perquisities is becoming every year a
greater infection upon visitors who can
i'll afford the outlay. 1t is odd that the
men and women who are in the habit of
entertaining do not appear to take cog
nizance of this unwritten law that gov
ems their households. Surely, they are
supposed 10 pay their servants literally
enough to cover extra service TO guests,
and it cannot be pleasant for them to feel
that their hospitality is impaired by the
silent, but nevertheless understood extor-
ton of their menials.''
1T costs as much to stay a few weeks
in smart house in Newport as to stop
at a hotel is frequent complaint made
by impecunious young men, and yet this
abuse of their hospitality continues to be
tolerated by the heads of the household,
who must know perfectly well that it ex-
lists.
Il managed capitally at my rich broth
er-in-laws last summer said an inge-
MUS youth, with grin. "I simply did
not dare to leave without giving Fanny's
posse of 1lunkeys each a douceur for the
credit OF. Fan herself, to say nothing of
the family. 1 had only money enough to
get back to town with, and at first 1 was
stumped Then bright idea struck me-
l borrowed $50 of my brother in-law, and
distributed it grandy among his people.
Pay it back. OF course 1 shant. L do
not consider it moral obligation in the
least. If Kept house like that I would
smash every mothers son that took a
dollar from any friend whom / chose to
have stop with me- There is no reason
why private houses should not be run like
clubs, and every servant instructed that
he or she must refuse gratuities on the
pain of dismissal 1t would. be a great re-
lief to guests, and certainly ought to be
more satisfactory to their entertainers"
Don't cross your legs! Not only is it
pad form, but 1t is one of the worst things
III the world for a man or woman. 1t is
particularly injurious for women, says the
Journal of Health, to sit with one leg
swung over the knee of the other.
Many have often wondered how in the
word they have contracted a splitting
headache, or why their feet get so cold at
times. These two troubles and a score of
others are due solely in many cases to the
common habit of seeking comfort by cross
ing the legs
Cold feet, varicose veins headache, ulcers
ana countless other troubles from the i'm
proper circulation of the blood in the lower
hmbs are caused by the pernicious habit of
crossing the legs
II you cross your right leg over the left
Knee you will notice that the whole weight
OF the suspended right leg is sustained by
me left knee, which places all of the pres
sure against that under part of your right
leg between the calf and the kneecap Now,
any school text book on physiology will
snow that Just in the very spot where all
the pressure is placed there is large num-
Der Of large veins, nerves and arteries.
Inc mere fact of putting undue pressure
against this spot in either leg has the eff
iect of crowding all these tissues together,
ana the circulation of the life-glving fluid
rs materially interfered with. OF course,
the absence of plentiful supply of blood
TO the legs and feet cause them TO become
so susceptible to the cold air that the least
graft causes the feet to become annoy
ingly cold.
There was kodak cir says the Wasl-
lhgton Post, who haunted the Arlington

nope of getting a picture of his royal
highness She came upon him one day
JUST as he was mounting bis bicycle for

camera in his face and snapped it excited

thought it an Internal machine, for he
rode off as fast as he could 60 The cam

put at any rate she discovered that she
rad no picture of the Prince, and she was
IN despair. She waited about the door till
'ne young man returned She was not
Nersed IN the etiquette of addressing roy
aIty, but she was in desperate earnestness.

you please stand still just a minute and
let me snap at you? do so want picture

Prince, wait just a minute"
AND in the minute which followed the
camera recorded the likeness of a real live

his face.
