they assert, cannot be stated, and it is
a matter Of indifference. for they have,
unuuestionabiy, the best of the argument.
Walters and employees in hotels in Lon
don are very poorly paid. and are ex-
pected TO make up their necessary diving
expenses out of their tips. Now they de-
mand that the tipping system be abolish
ed altogether and that their wages be
raised. They assert that the system de-
grades their calling, and that it en-
harnesses a large portion of the public
whose pocke-book is not commensurate
with the desire TO live up to the Gus
tom.
1t would be well if just such a move
ment could be started in the cites of the
United States in nearly all of which the
tipping system has become, perhaps,
more of an evil than 1t is in European
countries. 1t is true that in most Eu-
ropean countries the waiter demands his
tip while in America he usually assumes
an attitude of expectancy and does moth
ing more than look sour if he does not
get it. At the same time il is also true
that the average tip in America is far
larger and more out of proportion 20 the
service rendered than is the case in the
countries Of the old world. In France
for instance, a waiter is satisfied with
two sous for a simple service; in America
the smallest tip is five cents, and so it
Increases in proportion. In American cities
sometimes the amount OF the tip is 50 or
All of this is an outrage upon the Ameri-
can public, especially that portion of 1t
whose real ability extends only to paying
for the service sought. The average Sa-
MAMMALIAN who takes two weeks trip
in the summer to some Northern resort
may easily calculate upon spending any
where from So to $40 on tips alone during
that time And the only service received
for it is that for which he has already
paid full price, together with a smile in
stead of a frown from the porter, the bell
boy and the waiter.
The American public should see to the
adjustment of the custom through their
dsapproval of it. If 1t cannot be abolish
ed altogether, at the start, the size of the
fee should be made more in keeping with
the service rendered and the amount of
the bill to be paid

OvER-zEALoUs MISSIONARIES.

Statements are appearing in the public
prints which seen to justify the conclu-
sion that some of the missionaries whose
field Of labor is in China are over zeal
Gus. They are saying that the Boxer
movement was the best thing that could
have happened for the cause Of Chris
tianity in China, because the Powers will
not accept any settlement of the attacks
on their ministers in Pebin which does
not include the most ample provision for
the protection of the missionaries while
pursuing their work of Outstanding the
people. Their position is that in future the
Chinese will be afraid to make any op-
position to missionaries, and that the
missionaries will be free to adopt any
methods they please in carrying on their
work
No doubt the Powers will undertake to
enlarge the liberty which missionaries
have heretofore had, and will insist upon
their having greater privileges ana the
most complete protection, but will the
placing of hard conditions on the Chinese
assist in fitting them for receiving the
mistake to undertake to force the Chris
tian religion upon them?
1t is suspected that more than one of
the Powers have used the missionaries
as means for acquiring territory. They
have not cared for the success of the
missions so much as for the material ad-
vantages to be gained by means of them.
No doubt these same Powers will insist
upon concessions to missionaries in the
settlement with China that will have a
tendency to irritate the Chinese, and thus
open tie way for further territorial de-
mands.
Missionary work must of course. go on
ia China. but it ought to be conducted
along lines of the least resistance The
Chinese ought to be led to accept the
Christian religion because it is the best
religion, and not because Of the armies
and navies behind it. 1t seems to us that
those missionaries who are rejoicing that
TIE Boxer outbreak has brought about an
exhibition of the power of the Christian
nations that will make the Chinese afraid
to show any resistance to the propaga-
ton of the Christian faith in their coun-
try are making a great mistake They are
lacking in the kind of spirit that Chris
tian workers should have

Tho tiremen at Tenth and Arch streets,
Camden, are mystified al the sudden re-
appearance of a large bullfrog, weighing
two pounds, that was kept and petted by
them for several months, says the Phila-
delphia Telegraph. The frog was kept
in a large aquarium, in which sunfish and
carp We're also kept. but because scientific
men told the firemen that the presence
of the "rena esculenta" caused the stagna-
ton of the wafer and consequent death
of the fish, the firemen decided to kill the
frog. Whether the frog, by mental teleg
raphy, became cognizant of his approach
ing execution or not is not known, but in
less than fifteen minutes after his fate
was decided the frog disappeared and
was found in a water trough three blocks
distant. There the firemen fed him with
crumbs until about month ago, when he
again disappeared, and was supposed to
have been killed by boys.
Yesterday he reappeared. While the
firemen were polishing their harness they
heard a cultural "Ker-wuh! Ker-wuh"
and observed the frog hopping from the
gutter toward the frehouse. He seemed
to recognize his former friends, jumped
rectly into the aquarium. The fish, in
stead of being scared at the intruder, man
ifested their delight by swimming near
and disporting themselves close to him.
Where the frog was during the inter
vening four weeks is a mystery, as is his
recollection of his former friends.

LABOR NEEDED IN COTTON Fields.

According to reports from Southern
Georgia a very considerable percentage
Of the cotton crop of that section is likely
10 be lost because of the inability OF the
farmers to get sufficient labor to pick it.
The wages offered are high, but not as
high as are paid by the lumbermen ana
turpentine operators.
In all of the towns of the state there
are many unemployed colored men and
women who could make good wages IN
the cotton field. Why do not the cotton
farmers make an effort to get this unem-
ployed labor? II is true there would be
some inconvenience in handling 1t on ac-
count of the lack of sleeping and eating
accommodations near the cotton farms,
HIT II is probable that this difficulty could
be overcome
During the peach season hundreds of
Iaborers go from the towns to the peach
orchards and assist in gathering the
peach crop. In the wheat section of the
northwest thousands of persons go from
the towns and assist in the harvesting.
In this city there are, it Is safe to say,
a thousand unemployed colored men and
women who could make good wages in
picking cotton from now until the picking
season is over. Not all of them would
accept an offer to so TO the country to
pick cotton but 1t is probable that very
many of them would. Some of them
might turn out to be comparatively
worthless in the cotton field, but, out of
the number obtained it is probable that
several hundred might be secured who
would render good service. If efforts were
made in each of the towns a supply of
labor might be obtained that would be of
very great assistance in saving the
crop
The cotton farmers are having a pretty
hard time of it this year, The rains and
the drought have cut the crop short and
ii is almost impossible to get sufficient
hands to save what there is of it. The
only satisfactory thing in connection with
the crop is the price of cotton. The price
is good, and II the crop were only a good
one the cotton farmers this year would
feel rich.

knocks Himself Ont.

One of the latest attractions in China
town is a man known as 'BiH," who
makes punching bag of himself for the
benefit Of sightseers. says the New York
Sun.
Bill first made his appearance there
about two months ago. He had been
with a vaudeville show, but he said luck
was against him and he went to the diff
ferent resorts in Chinatown and did a
couple of turns nightly, such as buck
dancing and singing. The profits did
not amount TO much and Bill decided 10
shake the place. He reappeared a couple
OF weeks ago, saying that he had a new
sketch which would take the people by
surprise.
On the following Saturday when the
largest one of the resorts was well filled
Bill announced that he was ready to 80
ahead, and asked that the floor be cleared
SO that he could have plenty of room. His
request was granted. Bill took his stand
and said that his new sketch was a cor
rect imitation of the McGovern-Erne fight
and after short speech he wound up by
asking the spectators to kindly refrain
from passing any remarks. Bill is a talk
er and owing to this fact the people pad
great attention to what he was saying.
He then placed two chairs in opposite
corners for the supposed fighters to sit
on. Next the referee was introduced and
the fighters were called to the center for
Instructions Bill being fighters, referee
and everything else. Then the mock bat
tie began.
From the start 20 the finish of the first
round Bill hammered himself in the face.
head and abdomen. The second round
was pretty near the same as the first,
only Bill was working a little harder
and he went to his corner looking much
the worse from his own punches. His
face was beginning to puff. Before COM
ing up for the third and last round Bill
made it known that he would represent
Erne and that his heavy smashes were
/ supposed to be delivered by McGovern.
Bill got at himself and smashed away
until he was reeling around the floor. He
went down for the second time with blood
coming from his nose He staggered to
his feet, as Erne did, only to go to the
floor again after hitting himself a hard
blow in the face. He lay there long
enough for the supposed referee to count
nun out. After Bill got through and mad
nxed himself up he went around with
the hat and received enough money, as
he said later 10 pay for a weeks board.
OF late he mas been going through his
mock battle only once a week, as he is
afraid the people will get tired of it ana
he hasn't been able to think of anything
new.

ABOLISH TIPPING,

The custom of tipping the walters and
employees in hotels and restaurants, sleep
ing cars and other places of a public
character has reached the point of ex-
IRENE aggravation. Every now and then
it is the object of denunciation, but 1t
continues, usually with the connivauce
