PlRTERS AND STEWARDS

Controller Tracewell Decides Fees
Paid 10 Them Are Necessary
Travelling Expenses.

The government through a decision
of the controller of the treasury, again
recognizes the existence and neces-
sity OF the tipping" evIl by authoriz-
ing the payment OF fees TO stewards
OF steamship vessels by officers and
employees OF the United States. For
many years the controller of the
treasury has practically put a pre-
MUM on the demands of sleeping car
pOrters by directing the payment Of
reasonable tips to them. There is no
longer a question about the expense
account OF a government employee when
II includes tips TO porters unless the
amount paid is considered unreason-
able. Exactly what is reasonable
has not been decided. except, posi-
bly,, as the experience OF the auditing
officer or the custom of his Office tells
him. Some government employees are
more liberal than others in their ex-
peuditure OF government money when
they come in contact with porters,
but unless the amount paid appears
exorbitant it is generally allowed
In the decision just rendered the
controller decides that an army officer
travelling between here and Porto Ri
co or return is justified in paying fees
10 the steward Of the vessel. In the
case considered Captain Irvine paid
s. TO the steward Of q vessel when he
was coming from San Juan TO New
York. Col. q. W Baird of the War
Department inquired whether he was
authorized 10 pay this. The control
Ter says he is. and says that such fees
are regarded as part OF the actual ex-
penses OF a person.
The only exception was made In a
recent decision. An officer of the
navy on his way to the Philippines in
a government transport charged the
government with S. in fees TO stew.

that this was unauthorized. He de-
cides that on a vessel owned. Offered

THE COOKBOOK.

A cup of butter means sixteen table
spoons. When we measure butter In a
cup. we measure it packed solid.
One cup Of sauce means one cup OF
LIQUID. regardless Of the amount OF
thickenlng and butter that you use.
A novel and dainty way OF cooking
little new onions is to boil them and
serve them on toast, similar to aspara-
gus.
Stir all sauces with a wooden spoon
until they thicken and begin to leave
the sides Of the pan. Add favoring es-
sences after taking the pot from the
fire.
After boiling a ham let it cool In the
water in which It was cooked. This
helps TO make 1t more tasty, moist and
tender. The same rule applies to tongue
or eorned beef.
Sardines broiled in chafng dish are
nice for Sunday night suppers. Use
Just enough Of the oil in the box TO
cover the bottom Of the dish and Keep
the fish from sticking. When they are
Drowned on both sides, sprinkle hber-
ally with lemon juice and serve hot.

proportion for beauty. She herself was
Of generous-one may say unwieldy-
size, and her manner was supercilious
and lofty. She was trying to demon
strate the relative sizes Of the limbs as
they really ought to be.
"For example," said she, twice
round my thumb'-she held 1t up
"once round my wrist; twice round my
wrist, once round my neck; twice
round my neck, once round my waist. "
Here she paused, and a shrill voice
from the audience exclaimed:

How old Spiders Live.

Old spiders, which have neither web
nor the materials to make one, often
nunt about to find out the webs of 9TH
er spiders, younger and weaker than
themselves, with whom they venture
battle. The invader generally succeeds,
and the younger spider Is driven out to
make a new web, and the old spider re-
mains In possession until a stronger
spider invades the web and drives 1t
out. When thus dispossessed, the spi-
der seldom ventures another attack, but
tries to subsist upon the few insects
that may fall accidentally into Its
clutches and eventually dies Of hunger
