THE TIP QUESTION. nsr-

What n Man Must Give in order to
Get Good Service.
what ought young fellow to give
in tips?" said young clubman to
whom this important question had been
propounded by a New York Tribune
man. "Why, do not know what other
chaps give, but make it a rule to take
S25 in bills Of different denominations
for a weeks visit to a Newport house,
and $40 for a Friday to Mondays out
ing. To the man who Wallets me for a
week / give IS. Five dollars to the
coachman, S. to the butler, and S5 to
the hOusemaid who attends to my
room; the other IS goes in 81 tips to
grooms, footmen, etc. For the shorter
visit ! give SO to the valet and 81
apiece to the Others"
That is too much for me" remarked
one OF his hearers, an impecunious
young man of business. II get through

Of an over Sundays invitation. It is
rather hard on the rest of us for you
rich fellows to put up the scale to such
high figures. You should leave that to
the married men--of course, their stan
dard is higher-but we poor bachelors
should be let off easy"
Luckily for us women, we are never
expected to tip as literally as men,
either at a hotel or a private house,
said a young woman, taking part in the
discussion.
Fortunate for the poor devils that
they don't expect it," interpolated her
brother with a grin, for they would
never get it-women are always SO
mean."
Il give" continued his sister, scorn-
ing to notice his remark, "S6 for a week
-S2 to the lady's maid, 80 to the house
maid in charge of my room. and 81
apiece to the butler and coachman
That is what most Of my friends give
and / think it is quite sufficient"
At restaurants the rule for a tip is
ten per cent. Of the order, so it is very
easy to do what is expected Only WON.

why the sly u. niue.

The explanation of the blue color OF
the sky, as given by A. II. Thiessen, is
that as the observer looks into space
his line is intercepted by multitude Of
particles of dust floating in the air.
The reason these particles appear to
be blue is that they reflect to the eye
the blue rays against which they form
an effective barrier, while the red or
coarser-Waved rays pass on. That the
dust reflects back only the blue rays is
due to their microscopic size. The finer
the dust, the purer is the blue which is
reflected or scattered The bluest skies,
therefore, are seen IN places where the
dust particles are smallest; the blue Of
the sky. as viewed from the tops Of
mountains, is deeper and purer than
that seen from a lower altitude. This
l is due to the fact that the air is very
/ rare at great heights and can only sus-
tain the finer particles of dust, while
the coarser particles abound i'm the low
er levels. The intensity of the blue
sky for which italy is noted is not
\ owing to the existence Of finer dust
than in northrn countries, but to the
elcl that in the northern latitudes, in
consequence of the greater GOODNESS of
the air, the vapor more readily con-
denses uIea the dust particles. These
particles thus become larger and less
effective in turning back the blue rays
alone. II follows that other rays are
reflected and a grayish effect is pro-
duced. When the sky forms a back
ground for white cumulus clouds, n
appears to be bluer by the contrast than
1t otherwise would. and after a shower,
when the lower stratum of air is wash
ed of its coarse dust particles, the re-
suit is a deeper and paler blue. The
reason the reds are prominent at sun
set is that then the dust particles are
between the sun and the observer, and
The blues are reflected away from him,
while the reds pass unobstructed to his
