There was a time when returning
tourists kicked vigorously over the
European system of tips for any and
all services. They kick no more. Tips
are just as often demanded here as
abroad and are great deal larger. You
get shaved, you dine, you take cab,
you have your coat brushed, you ask
even question and there you area
dime or quarter or more.

ORIGINAL Idea About A,naraeu,.

Original Idea About Asparagus.
A consensus of opinion in regard to
cutting asparagus, MS noted In Nee
hans Monthly, seems to be that from
the first starting of the plant in spring
the weaker shoots should not be cut,
but left to produce the LEAKAGE SO neces-
sary for the production of strong roots.
One gardener makes the novel sugges-
ton that the very best success in get
ting tirst-class asparagus is to select
the plants all Of one sex. His plan has
been to set 1-year-old plants in bed
rather closely together and mark the
berry-bearing or female plants for the
permanent bed. These, he says. have
always borne strong shoots far superior
to the beds of the usually mixed sexes.

The recreation journey of President
Mckinley is the most magnificent trip
ever undertaken by railroad in the Uni

peror or king eyer made as splendid a
tour through his dominions as that
which the President is enjoying among
his American fellow-citizens. He will
see more people and more acres of ter
ritory than any potentate or conqueror
except Alexander the Great ever saw
before.
President Mckinley will be received
everywhere with gay and festive vel
come that will not be us noisy as con-
tinuous Fourth of July, and will be far
more agreeable on that account. He
will traverse twenty-five States, and
his route is $4,000 miles in length. He
is accompanied by working force of
his cabinet, and he will be in constant
communication by telegraph with
Washington. He will transact all pub.
lie business on his route. His train will.
actually be the national capital on
wheels running at an average rate of
thirty-five miles an hour.

stituted of himself and family, several
Washington officials, dozen private
guests and twenty attendants. includ.
ing stenographers, typewriters and tel
egraphic operators. A great number of
press reporters and other followers are
accommodated on the train. The COM
missary department is luxuriously pro-
vided and is managed by skillful en-
ployes, including complement of
cooks and walters.
The cars are seven in number and are
fitted up in style superior to anything
of the kind ever before seen. at Is
understood" says trustworthy nc.
count Of the affair, "that the President
expressed desire to pay all the ex-
renses of the trip" But the railroad
companies which furnished the palatial
cars would not listen to the suggestion.
To n private party the actual expense
of the cars and trackage would be
$29,sS0. The commissary stores and
service for the trip would bring the cost
up to at least $4,000, years salary
for the President. Probably he did not

paying the bill.

1t is a great comfort for hogs and
may be made most useful to rid them
of lice and scaly skin If put up as
follows: Drive n stout stick three
inches in diameter in suitable place,
leaving twenty inches above ground:
staple a rope four inches from earth's
surface to the stake and coil 1t closely
till 1t reaches three inches from the top
of the stake; staple it tightly. Pour
coal oil or crude petroleum on 1t until
1t Is well saturated with 1t, and the
hogs or slfoats will fight for the first
and last rub on it. Pour more oil on
occasionally as needed. This will kill
all lice and nits and remove scales that
are so unsightly upon the hogs. 1t has
been tried and works well.-Twentieth
