THE ORIGIN OF TIPS.

The word is old in the language. at
least, of slang. meaning a gift or loan

ripper give me your hand); "tip me

wink Cor a "gleg?') these are all
of common parlance, and have been so
at any rate since an earlier date than
1875, when some of them, as we'll as
some others, were recorded by Crosse in
his Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar
Tongue" DR.. Johnson gives, ITO tip
to give; a low cant term. Dryden" A
tip meant also "a draught," or Gas
we should now say "a drink" also re-
corded by Grose. This may very prob
ably have come from another source

YAVAPAI RAILROADS
Narrow Gauge Lines for Ore Hauling
in Big Bug District.

There is a report in circulation re-
garding the building of a system of
narrow gauge ore railways in the Big
Bug district, the Gold Exploiting COM
pany of America now mining eXtens-
lively in this county, being the promo
tiers of the plan. says the Prescott
Courier AS near as can be learned the
main line will run from Huron up the
Big Bug valley to the head of Turkey
creek, with branches to Lynx creek,
by way of Eugene gulch. The McCabe
branch will take in all the mines in
Chaparral gulch. This prospect will
be watched with great interest as it
will mean the opening up Of hundreds
of mines that are kept closed on ac-
count of the lack of transportation ia
cilities. Such a system of narrow
gauge railways will be a great success
and will pay from the first few miles,
as the present amount paid by mines to
freight ore aggregates an enormous
sum. The Lone Pine mine, alone, paid
out since August. enough to pay in
terest on a five miles branch. The Me
Cabe, Little Jessie, the Rebel, Henri

a tunnel in Is feet on the vein. There
is also an 1S-foot shaft on this mine

be formed to work these mines, which
would require a concentrating plant for
the proper treatment OF the ore. The

which both Louis and Victor Bona

Victoria at Windsor. In spite of his
birth he has been unable to secure adj
mission, honorary or otherwise, to a

Pierre Lott" the French author and
academician, is staying at the present
moment at Berlin, where, it is to be
hoped, he will avoid the eccentricities
which rendered him so supremacy ridi-
culous at the court of Bucharest. 1t
may be remembered that on the invi-
tation of the poet queen of Roumania,
he spent a week as her guest at the
palace. He reached the palace about
an hour before dinner, and Queen Eliz-
abeth sent one of her gentlemen or
ladies in waiting to welcome him in her
name. and to tell him that she looked
forward to the pleasure of seeing him
at dinner. It was likewise intimated
to him that her majesty trusted that
he had brought some of his so pictur
esque and quaint costumes with him,
Lott" having mania for having him
self photographed iE all sorts of fan
tastic garbs. chiefly those of the heroes
of his books.
Lott took this last part of the royal
message as a hint, and to the amaze
ment of everybody, appeared in the re-
ception room just before dinner was
announced in the startling raiment Of
an Egyptian Pharaoh. Even the queen
was just a trifie disconnected when she
entered, and it was only with the ut
most difficulty that the people at table
and the servants maintained their
gravity throughout the repast.-Mar
quise de Fontenoy in Washington Post.

between these animals, when they happen to
be temporarily associated, is not that sup

themselves the trouble of saying so, for every
