The Head walters rips.

One of the most expensive reStau-
rants in New York Is conducted, so far
as its observing patrons can tell, on a
unique system Of tips. The head wait
er of the room devoted to the use Of
the men guests makes it point to be-
come acquainted with them, find out
their names and becomes genial in the
half respectful, half presuming way
that so frequently passes for good ma
ture among employees Of the kind in
this country. Naturally he receives
liberal fees from his clientele, which is
made UP of rich men able to pay high
prices for the extra service they re-
ceive.
When there is no financial response
of this kind to the walters advances,
his cordially diminishes. The walters
under him do, with unusual willing
ness, the head walters bidding. They
are evidently Indifferent as to their
own success In the matter of fees. 1t
is only the good will of the head waiter
that appears to be the goal of all their
efforts.
Such unselfshness astonishes regular
patrons of the restaurant and one in
particular undertook to discover the
reason of this attitude Of the walters
toward their chief. He learned after
awhile that the tips the head waiter
received were large enough to enable
him to give the walters part of his
earnings for attending with particular
care to his patrons, who, as a rule, con-
fine their contributions to the head
waiter. The guests who fail to take
advantage Of the head walters over
lures to friendliness are not likely to
fare well in that restaurant, where the
walters, certain Of a fee from the man
over them, are Indifferent to the guests
not included among the list of his pa
trons.-New York Sun.

A Fomoua London Tovern.

The Mermaid was the name of ia
nous London tavern frequented by
noted literary men and actors during
the reign of Queen Elizabeth All the
wit and talent of the time assembled
there for convivial enjoyment. Au-
thors have made it the scene of great
mind combats between such men as
Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Beaumont,
Fletcher, Selden, Carew, Dome and
others of reyerential memory. 1t was
the gathering place of the celebrated
Mermaid club, the origin of which is
ascribed to Sir Walter Raleigh The
Mermaid tavern was located in Bread
street and was handily reached from
three thoroughfares, so that it has been
often referred to in various ways The
Mermaid in Bread street, the Mermaid
in Friday street and the Mermaid in
Cheap street We're however, all one
and the same. 1t was the nearest to
Bread street. The Mermaid was de-

Were other Mermaid taverns, one in
Cheapside and another in Cornhill, but
they had no such associations as clung

SILK In Lyons.

The manufacture of silk has for sew

Of Lyons, France. The Romans es-
tablished works there in the third cen
fury A. d. for the manufacture of
cloth of gold and silver, but every yes
tige of these was swept away by north

try was taken there from Italy and
Spain and the Levant about the year
1466 under the fostering care of Louis
XII. He imported machinery and weav-
ers with the expressed purpose of di.
minishing the stream of gold then flow
ing into foreign countries. 1t is re-
corded that five aunes Of silk at that
time cost from 800 to 400 francs or

four times its present value.
