Break Up tho Practice.
1t was stated recently by several Of
f1cials of railway companies having ter
mini in the metropolis that the ques-
ton of the tipping of porters had been
engaging the attention of the respect
i've general managers, says the Lon
don Times. The subject was one which
bristled with difficulties, inasmuch rs
the travelling public encouraged, rather
than discouraged, the practice. In the
rules and regulations for the observ-
ance of the staff of each Of the railway
companies there was a clause specially
directed to the question of the accept
ance Of tips, which provided that any
servant detected receiving gratuities of
any kind was liable to instant dismis-
sal. Unfortunately, passengers were
not aware of the existence Of
| such regulation or totally ignored It.
| If the public would only report cases
| of incivility on the part Of porters on
| occasions when tips were not forth
coming, the railway companies would
| he in position to deal more effective
ly with the question. The companies
desired it to be known that the direc-
tors did not, as had been suggested by
the men, take into consideration the
amount porter was likely to receive
in tips when fixing the wage of an en-
ploye. The wages paid to the men were
| commensurate with the services rem
dered to the companies. The manag-
ers were, of course, we'll aware that at
many Of the larger stations a porter
could easily earn, in the nature Of
tips, on an average at least fl per

ment VIII Be Impossible.
To sum up, we find that Holland has
succeeded in Java, where thepopulation
is composed of Malayans and forced
labor has been enacted; that she has
failed in Surinam, where the popula-
tion is largely negro, and where no
compulsion has been used; that Eng
land has failed wherever the popula-
ton is composed Of negroes and has at
tanned moderate degree Of success
only where East Indian laborers form
considerable proportion Of the pop
ulation and a contract labor system is
in force; finally, that wherever, in
these colonies which have been dealt
with. any considerable industries exist
The East Indian indentured immigrant
is found doing the work, says w. AL
LEVINE ireland in the Atlantic Monthly.
ANY attempt to govern the tropical
possessions of the United States on
democratic principles is doomed to GER
tain failure 1t has been clearly shown
that without forced labor, or at least
some form of indentured labor, large
industries cannot be developed in
tropical colonies. The system under
which this country might hope to
achieve success with her tropical pos
sessions is one which the United States
is not likely to adopt. 1t is the sys-
TEN advocated by Froude for the ISL
and of Dominica-surely the most
beautiful of all tropical Islands: Find
a Raiah Brooke If you can, or Mr..
Smith of Scilly. Send him out

knight of La Mancha gave Sancho-to
fear God and do his duty. Put him
On his mettle. Promise him the praise
Of all good men if he does well; and
If he calls to his help intelligent per-
sons who understand the cultivation Of
soils and the management of men, in
half a score years Dominica would be
The brightest gem Of the Antilles.
The leading of the wise few, the will

Two weeks later the camp boss was
killed by a fallen limb. The following
spring the logs were hung up for want
of water and while they were lying on
the shore waiting for rains a forest fire
swept through the woods, burning the
logs and the camp where the men had
worked. This autumn a party of
Frenchmen who had been hunting deer
stopped at Bo Peeps grave and were
surprised to find that the yellow birch
which covered his remains had sprout-
ed from the stump, sending up three
shoots which had interlaced SO as to
form a cross about ten feet tall. When
they saw that the last of the dead
mans predictions had been fulfilled
they came out and circulated the story
all over eastern Maine, since which
time the grave has been visited by
scores OF French Canadians, all OF
whom believe that a miracle has been
wrought above the dead.

1t is said that Indian fishermen have
an ingenious way of training the otter.
They catch the small cub and put a
collar round the throat. The little
creature, finding itself unable for days
together to swallow anything it catch

believes for the rest of it's life that an
otter can only swallow such food as
it receives direct from it's masters

The Smallest Island in the World.

Rockall is, perhaps, the smallest
island in the world. 1t is situated in
the Atlantic over 300 miles west of
Scotland, and is a mere rock about 60
feet high and 225 feet round, arising
from a reef of sand. The rock is bssalt
and granite, very magnetic. 1t is
haunted by seabirds, and the mackerel
Of the surrounding seas are very fine.
OF course, it was never inhabited, and
is very seldom visited, owing to the
difficulty of landing on it.

Beaupre died in November, 1894. His
body was sewed up in new blankets
and carried to rocky point above
Grindstone, where the bearers placed It
under the roots OF great yellow birch
tree which had lately been overturned
in a gale. When the remains had been
duly disposed in the stony opening one
of the men chopped off the fallen tree
trunk with an axe, allowing the stump
to fly back, thus filling the hole and
burying the body under tons of eratb.

An Idea as to Its PURITY may Be De-
rived by Using Smoke OF Peppermint.
Once a year is quite often enough to
have the plumbing tested for the es-
cape of sewer gas. There are two
methods of doing this-the pepper
mint test and smoke test. The latter
is regarded as the most absolute,
though both are used. When such
test is made the regular escapes for
the water are plugged up and smoke
Is pumped into the pipes from the roof.
For this purpose there is special
machine which combines a furnace and
a force pump In this little furnace
are put old rags or discarded Christ
mas trees, or anything which will make
9 fine smadge. AS soon as these are
in good smoking condition the smudge
is forced down into the pipes and
tour Of examination is made. II the
smoke escapes at any point 1t can be
detected at once The peppermint test
is made from the roof also. The es-
capes are plugged up and then about
q pint of peppermint oil is poured in
the roof pipe, followed by a bucket of
hot water. The odor of the pepper
mint is SO penetrating that 1t will
quickly escape at any defective spot.
But the man who handles the pepper
mint has to stay on the roof until the
examination is complete or the whole
house will be permeated with the odor.

He has his own ideas of strengthening

adoption of this policy has seriously
interfered with the Martin leadership.
1t means the coming to the front of
men like Durham, who believe in the
recognition of all elements of the Re

larity not merely through the distri-
button of patronage, but by their
straightforward and manly actions in
dealing with men who take an interest
in the welfare of the Republican or

tion will, by the policy adopted in
making appointments, deprive Martin
OF the power OF electing delegates to
the Republican state convention in
