MISTAKEN TIPPING.
Americans Abroad Frequently Pay Too
 Much for Services

An American recently arrived in London from d southern city. and be- Ing in haste 10 continue his journey to Paris. hired a eabman to take him on one Of his errands. Handing the man two shilling piece. he directed him to a certain number in New Bond street. After seating himself in the cab, the passenger waited for several minutes, expecting the horse to start. At last he left the cab and found the driver on the box inspeetin the coin. which was double the us-al fare. What is the matter29 asked the in- dignant traveller. This seems to be very small coin for so long a distance, was the surly response The Ameri- can smiled grimly and remarked that the eabman could drive him at once to Scotland Yard. As this is the head quarters of the police. the driver per ceived that the American was not man eo be s#iHdled F ii drive you to New Bond street. he remarked promptly. 43f goa will get ins sir Walt a moment said the American. T want EoH To look me over carefully, Now tel me. he continued what 1t was in my appearance that led you 10 think me aH idiot Was t my hat or my collar ee tAe cut of my overcoat? have already paid you double fare for the distance I have asked you 10 go, but TH give you as much more if you will fell =What there k in n.y. gen eral makeup Chat encouraged you to believe that I could be fool enough to allow you to cheat me" The cabman by this time looked sheepish and un- comfortable T took you for an Am erican, sir" he said, and thought could work another shilling out of you. Here is one of the shillings you gave me and I am ready to drlvf you to New Bond street" The American had made two mistakes. He ought not to have paid double fare. and he ought not to have paid in advance. By violating Ihe ordinary rules observed by people who hire London cabs, he encouraged the cabman to swindle him. The most judicious course for traveter in a foreign country is to learn the customs of the people in 1t, and not throw away money by overpaying eabmen and tip ping servants too generously.-Yo Youths Companion

 Last spring disorders took place at eastel Gandolfo, a village on the AL san hills. provoked by peasants agl- atiRg for bread or for land on which n cultivate grain.

They were given three years ease of the land on condition that hey should cultivate it with maize OF wheat, and that one-third of the crops hould belong to Prince Barberini and he other two-thirds to the peasants che first harvest of maize has now teen reaped, and the results are most neouraging. The value of the crop fs calculated at 6,300 lire. and third. lquaI to about 80 pounds. goes into he pockets of Prince BarberInf.

Violet Retired In Favor of Bluets and
 Yellow.

Violet Retired In Favor of Bluets and
 Yellow.
 Within the last month some modid- cations have been made in the order assigned to eoIors, says the Millinery Trade Review. Violet has retired quite into the background, with the excep- sion of a reddish violet, one Of the clematis shades. And deep blue has come forward, new tints bordering on lavender. but more especially bluet. hut not the most brilliant dye. But the most important change is the great favor shown for beige almond, brown, maize, blue and golden yellow evil denced chiefly in the choice of straws and jules of these shades. Light blues and hydrangea tints maintain their old position, and the same may be said of rose pinks and reds, showing particu- larly in floral trimmings, though pink and red straws are still in fair demand. A deal of green appears in the decora- tton, mostly in the shape of leaves, and green straws are looking up. Light gray is still in favor, both for morning and dressy hats, trimming and straw being often of the same shade. If a color is chosen for the decoration. blue Is considered most applicable. There is certainly a larger demand for black straws than there was earlier in ths season, and black enters into the orna- mentation of much of the very newest millinery-black lace. black velvet bows. and also flowers with black vel vet or black gauge petals and natural. eolored stamens.

For instance. the com mon brown bear is so fond Of the fumes of tobacco that # you blow smoke through the bars of its cage it will. with evident delight, push for ward and rub it's back and head against the iron bars over which the smoke passes. This is invariabe. Not long ago I blew through a hollow stick pinch of snuff into the nose of a sleeping lion. The brute shortly af- ter awoke, sat up straight sneezed violently and then lay down to sleep very contentedIy again. All goats, deer.

,oex MAPLE THANKED sHA0. Maine Recipe That Is Far Ahead of inc
 Chesapeake Idea.

Chesapeake A1ea'
 The man who discovered that a green rock maple slab was far ahead oI tn7 green ash plank used along Chesa- 6eake bay for cooking planked shad IS State Senator Henry P. Sharp of Mon Hcel1o. The secret was revealed by ac- eident. Years ago. when he was woods foreman, he had great trouoie in finding cant dog handles that Woalo not bend. Ash and oak made eAeel- lent handles. but as soon as they bS- came wet the men who piled the logs bent them into fantastic shapes. Alter ten years of trial with all kinds or wood Mr. Sharp learned that rock ma pie was the only material that Wooio remain stiff after it was water-soaKeu' As result of this every cant dog now has rock maple handle. TWO years ago thIs spring Senator sharp went down the river and bought dozen sAad fresh from the Weifs. on his way home he stopped at 0rono to visit the cant dog factory and have planked shad for dinner. As no green ash could be had for the plankingt a fresh aud sapDy slab was sawed oil from the cz-t dog stock at the miIi and 10 this the shad was begged. after which it was upholstered with thin strips of fat salt pork and placed upon Che coals to cook. The heat of the fire started the maple sap in the siaD and made it stzzIe about the sbad. and by the ttHo the fish was cooked 1t was surrounded with crystal wall ot maple sugar. Men who helped eas the first shad ever cooked in maple syrup say it was something to remember for a lifetime. They finished the entire fish in short order, and then cooked an other and another, using fresh slab every time. Then they went and told their friends about the wonderful dish. At present no one thinks about using white ash when green rock maple can be procured for cooking shad. The men who are fond of planked shad cooked by the Sharp process are about to give the senator a dinner at Ban gor hotel in order to convince him how thoroughly they appreciate his discovery York Sun.

 Amid the fiseouragements which the recent revolution in Picking has occa- stoned to those concerned in Ghina's welfare-for the movement in question is manifestly anti-reform. anti-foreign, and consequently antj-Christian- there are many signs that such oppe- sition can not radically hinder this country's enlightenment. Such a sign is the progress of the Y. M. c. A. move ment among Chinese youths. which is assuming considerable importance, es- peeially in connection with mission schools.
