Tips to Noblenen's Servants.

TtpO TO NOO1enG0'0 Se3V0nt0s
In old times to dine with a nobleman
cost more in tips to the servants than
a club dinner. James Payne relates
that Lord Poor, awen-named Irish peer,
excused himself from dining with the
duke of Ormund upon the ground that
he could not afford it "1f you viii,
give me the guinea have to pay your
cook (fancyD will come as often as
you choose to ask me-" which was ac-
cordingly done. The duke, however,
had not the pluck to stop the practice.
Lord Taafe, a general officer in the Aus
TRAN service, did what he could. He al
ways attended his guests to the door;
when they put their hands into their
pockets he said: mo, if you do give it.
give it to me, for it was who paid for
your dinner" To Sir Timothy Waldo
must be given the credit of putting an
end to the monstrous practice. After
dinner with the duke of Newcastle, he
put a crown into the cooks hand. 1t
was rejected. II do not take silver, sir. ''
Every good, and do not give gold"
This courageous nejoinder caught on. .
and the day of walls to cooks was over

From Russia comes o story of a wom-
an who is making the shades of Claud
Duval and his peers tremble for their
laurels. We have had female brigands
and desperadoes. The head of the most
feared and most murderous tribe Of
italian banditti to-day is woman, and
there have been others like her; but
here is a celebrity of another sort. On
the opera bouffe stage one might ex-
pect to see her, but in real life she Is
almost too good to be true.
Her name is Barbara Daneria, and
by profession she is highwayman.
The English vocabulary doesn't pro-
vide any better title for her, since the
makers of the language didn't foresee
her advent, so highwayman we must
call her, regardless of rules of gender.
If, as purists insist, woman writer il
an author and not an authoress. and
a woman poet shouldn't be called poet
ess, why shouldn't woman Claud Du-
val be call a highwayman? Her pro-
fession comes under the head of the
fine arts.
Barbara is oil that we have loved in
the notorious Claude. She is dashing
and beautiful. She rides like centaur.
She can scallop the edge of a tiny Prus.

gives with open hand to the poor. She
delights in audacious ruses aud has q
keen sense of humor and of dramatic
effect. Up to date she hasn't danced
minuets ON the surf in the moonlight
with any of her victims. and she can't,
with good effect, offer handsome

THE MODEL MERCHANT.

He studies well the laws which govern traf-
f1c lines and trade,
He knows the tastes and business needs Of
men Of every grade,
His thoughts are wide enough to put trade
girdles round the earth,
And versatile enough to give new ideas
place or birth:
With honor as his pilot, thrift for his truest
guide,
He is the merchant prince, our country's
noblest prop and pride.
Keen-sighted. he can gaze ahead with tel
escopic view,
Yet see with microscopic glance what dull
lards never knew,
Fields Of commercial vastness with broad
sweep and purpose scan
To place each wide perspective In his COM
prehensive plan;
The nations of the earth pay tribute to his
piercing glance,
And thus he prospers spite of hates or hos
tile circumstance.
His white-winged fleets fly like huge birds
on many a distant sea,
He discounts causes yet to come and prog
ress yet to be,
He turns to profit and success the sunshine
or the gales
And in forecasting dividends his Judgment
never fails:
No witches nonsense gives him light. un-
warped by false pretense
He coins his thought and acumen in dol
lars and in sense.
Not selfishness the base on which the model
merchant stands.
But concentration Of the wealth and gifts
Of many lands,
That he may give employ and homes to
toilers by the score,
And for his home and native land do ever
more and more;
In helpful generosity to share his rapid
gains
With those less fortunate foredoomed to
poverty and PAINS
Thus stands he strong a bulwark for his ma
tons power and pride,
A man whose thoughts, good works and
words are generous and wide;
Who thrifty in helping self helps too his
fellow man,
And with his wealth accomplishes all faith
and foresight can:
The merchant may not awe the world as
ruler of the state,
But strong in character and life he may be
truly great.

Mike looked at him ruefully, and
tried hard to talk, and for awhile he
succeeded; but he was broad awake
now, and the excess of his sympathy
was too great burden for silence to
bear. He was persuaded that Darcie
needed only another chance, and some
good advice how to use it, in order to
be happy.
81 think the trouble was We talked
too much, Darcie," he resumed as gen.

Darcie flung off the blanket from
his face. and turned his eyes beseech-
ingly on Mike. Cant you leave off?"
he implored. His lips quivered, his face
was deathly white in the yellow candle
light, and points of fine perspirati
stood out upon his forehead. Mike felt
like swearing great oaths as he looked
at his Little Darcie," who was worth,
in his opinion, all the girls that ever
twisted braid" But what he said was:
"rm fair ashamed av We! Ye look,

course she'd say she couldn't go. It is
time now for the men to do something,
if there are any men left in this das-
tardly mine. Do you know what the
old man has done?" and the fiery little
doctor exploded again over the "cow-
ardly telegram" which he said was ga
disgrace to the mine and to every man
connected with it." The doctor refused
to set down that action of Mr.. Bing-
hams to the score of humanity or con-
Germ for the company's property, which
shows how loss Of reputation in several
ways may destroy a mans credit in the
few ways remaining and rob him of the
last charitable doubt.

that he may be in danger. Any help that
you could give him in this awful time
would be, am sure, only due him from
us, at the mine where he received his
injuries"
The doctor replied briskly, but
evasively, and was careful to see that
his note went straight to its destina-
ton; for, from the appearance of Miss
Bingham's missive. he judged that it
had been tempered with.
