waters who Get Most Tins,

Walters who receive the most tips,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean, are usu-
ally those who have everlasting and
Job-lilie patience, those who do not
easily take an insult, who ever have n
pleasant smile for their patrons, who
try earnestly to please them ard are
always ready to accommodate every
one. A waiter should never place him
self in n position of expectancy in the
matter Of receiving n tip and should
avoid approaching Il guest if he sees
him in the act of drawing change from
his pocket. a waiter should never pose
as an object Of pity with view to Sc
curing n tip. If he deserves tip, he
should let the guest feel within himself
that he deserves it, and if the guest
wishes to give him tip he will usually
manage to catch the walters attention
or leave the tip beside the plate. Should
the waiter receive tip previous to
waiting on the guest. he should leave
it lying on the table and then do his
level best to earn it.

A witty Reply.


Whenever the United States supreme
court, OH hearing the argument of
counsel for plaintiff in error, is entirely
satisfied that he has no case, the chief
Justice is apt to say to counsel for de-
PENDANT in error that the court does not
care to hear further argument. At one
time Hon. Matthew Carpenter from
Wisconsin was counsel for plaintiff in
error and opened the case. Before he
was through the court was satisfied
that there was nothing in it, and so
when he had concluded and counsel
for defendant in error arose Chief JUS
tice Waite said, 1.-THE court does not
care to hear any further argument"
Counsel was little deaf and. al
though noticing that the chief justice
spoke, did not hear what he had said
and. turning to Mr.. Carpenter. who
sat beside him, asked what had been

Bunsen has explained the periodical
eruption Of geysers in such a satisfac-
tory manner that doubt Is no longer
possible. A cavern filed with water lies
deep in the earth under the geyser. and
the water in this cavern is heated by
the earth's internal heat far above 212
degrees, since there is heavy hydro.
static pressure upon 1t arising from the
weight of water in the passage or nat.
ural standpipe that leads from the sub.
terranean chamber to the surface OF
the earth.
After time the temperature Of the
water below rises, so that steam is Civ.
en- off in spite Of the pressure, and the
column in the exit tube is gradually
forced upward. The release of pressure
and the disturbance of the water then
cause the contents of the subterranean
chamber to flash hto steam and expel
the contents of the exit pipe violently.
These eruptions may also be provoked
by throwing stones or clods of turf into
the basin of the geyser. The water In
the cavern below is disturbed by this
means.

What is the earliest instance of the
occurrence of the word tomato in any
European language? The first have
in my notebook is the reference to
"Americanorum tumatle," made by
Guillandinus in his de Papyro," q
commentary on parts of Pliny, 1872,
page 90. Later page 9D he says, DE
nique tumatle ex Themistitan, recen-
tiores fere pomum aureum, ct pomum
amoris nuncupant," showing that both
the Aztec name tomatl and the popular
.love apple" were already in use. ''The-
mistitan," I may add, is probably a
misprint for Thenustitan-i. e., TIE
nochtitlan, a synonym for Mexico
