MsANEsT MAN IN NEW YORK.
And How He Grappled with the "Tip"
ping" System.


ping" System.
The meanest man in New York is
not New Yorker. He is Chicagoan
But he boasts of his title, and this is
now he defended it little while ago:
He came here on two weeks bust
ness trip and stopped at well-known
family hotel not far from Union
square.
Going up to the head waiter on the
day of his arrival, he held before that
functionary's amazed eyes a $40 bill.
Tearing it slowly in half, he gave half
Of it to the man and put the other
half carefully in his own pocket.
II hate to be bothered tipping every
body" said the meanest man, $50 I'll
make deal with you. I want you to
see l get the best possible service
while I'm here and that every en-
ploye treats me like a prince. Then
If I'm satisfied with my treatment I'll
give you the other half of this 500
bill the day / leave. You can paste
the halves together and have per-
fectly good bill. Then you can pay the
other employees such tips as you think
are coming to them and pocket the
rest of the $40 for yourself"
The CLEAN in the head walters eyes
showed just how much out of that $50
would get past him if he once got the
two halves pasted together.
For the remainder of the two weeks
the meanest mans stay at that hotel
boys, chambermaids and porters fell
over each other to do his bidding, and
over all beamed the head walters
tender, watchful eye.
Whenever the meanest man entered
the dining-room you would have
thought King Edward had dropped in
for plate of ham and.
Well, at the end of the two weeks the
meanest man left. And as he was de-
parting he thus addressed the expect
ant waiter:
you've treated me fine"
"Yessahr'
you've won that $40 all right, I'll
right"
"Yessah! Thank
"But you aren't going to get it,
Silent, incredulous horror.
THAT half BILL" went on the mean
est man, lis worth nothing to you
without the other half. Nothing at all.
Say, I'll give you this Canadian ten
cent piece for the other half
And the deal actually went through.

Dogs Smell Death.

There's an old superstition that a
bowling dog in front Of the house Of
an i'll person portends death. One
prominent physician believes absolute
ly in it. The physician has a wonder
fully acute sense Of smell. Frequent
ly he says, he can foretell the coming
of death within forty-eight hours of
patients demise. Within two days Of
death, he says, a peculiar earthly odor
becomes noticeable about person
about to die. He tells Of one case
where he became aware of the peculiar
odor while talking to an apparently
healthy man. That night the man
dropped dead of heart disease. The
physician is far from attributing the
peculiar manifestation to other than
physiological reasons. His own sense
Of smell is abnormally acute.

NESTING HABITS OF BIRDS.
CuriCsities of Natural History Told
by English Naturalist.

CuriCsities of Natural History Told
by English Naturalist.
Why do all those birds which pair
for life always return to their old nest
ing places? This is one of those curl
osities of natural history which no one
has yet explained satisfactorily, says
the London Sporting News. British
wild birds are divided in to three
classes SO far as matrimonial arrange.
ments are concerned. Those which
become partners for life form much
the smallest of these three classes and
there are several Of them whose con.
stancy to their spouses is open to
grave doubt. Then there are those
birds which marry in the spring and
remain constant to each other so long
as their young are dependent upon
them. When these young have gone
ents separate and do not mate again
the next year. They have had enough
of each others society and prefer the
charm of novelty. Three fourths of the
wild birds belong to this class, who
make promiscuous marriages every
spring. Then there are the Brigham
Youngs of the bird world, as repre-
sented by the house sparrow, who
keeps up various branch establish
ments in addition to the ancestral
home. This polygamous class is a
small one, but it is more numerous
than the casual observer would sup
pose.
According to tradition wild birds
pair on Feb: list. Valentines day.
Starlings are always among the earli-
est to start housekeeping. Hedge spar
rows and wrens have been paired
equally early and many fiirtations
among house sparrows began with the
first week Of February.

1t is a popular fallacy with young
America that the salesman, clerk and
bookkeeper occupy higher place in the
social scheme than the farmer or me-
chanic. One of the deplora BILE conse-
Quences is seen whenever a merchant
or manufacturer advertises for help pf
this kind and the applicants turn out
by scores and hun reds to get the place
ready to work at almost any price. 1t
would be found on investigation that
most Of these had come up from the
country and smaller towns to accept
positions" attracted by the promise Of
easy life at large salaries in the CITY,
Nine in ten have no special training or
ability, and If thrown out of place are
as helpless as babies. The salaries
which looked so large from the country
prove in the stress of city life to be
mere pittances. Friendships, even &C.
Quaintances, are impossible. At best
the life is slavery, at worst it is star
walton.

A Sketch.

He was heartbroken, and wept bit
terly as he gazed at the tiny corpse.
1t seemed that nothing could console
him.
His great frame shook with grief I'M
comfortable.
The policeman touched him on the
arm. He started.
"Never mind" said the policeman;
don't weep-don't weep! Maybe you
will run over a fullgrown nan at the
next corner!"
The chauffeur smiled through his
tears, with renewed hore, and silently
pressed in gratitude the hand of his
kind comforter.-P altimore News.

Marriage in Turkey.

The dowry of Turkish bride is
fixed by custom at about $17O, which
amount, for polite reasons, is seldom
departed from, even by the rich. The
wedding day is invariably Thursday,
and the customary wedding festivities
begin on Monday and last four days.
They are carried on by men and wom-
en- separately, and each day is distin-
guished by a different ceremony. No
spoons or forks or wines are used at

A Harvard student Of exceptional
physical vigor, as he and his friends be-
lieved, was stricken in 1883 with COM
plete paralysis of the legs. He took up
his studies at home, worked under reg
ular rules and examinations, and in
1883 gained his degree as of the class
Of 1884. Then, although frequently int
terrupted by illness, he undertook to
compete for prize offered by learned
society. The task occupied him two
years. Unanimously the committee
awarded the prize to his manuscript
but he died before their judgment was
made known. That seems sad con-
clusion. Yet many story of success"
lacks the uplifting and inspiring quail
ity of this simple, brave, pathetic tale.

International trade touches as many
diverse and interesting articles as an
"old curiosity shop handles. One of
the latest and most curious items is
cato -nine-tails. A Maine man lately
shipped two hundred barrels to Lon
DON Last year he sent four hundred
and fifty barrels. 1t is odd that there
should be little demand in the United
States for an article which grows SO
commonly here, while in London there
is a constantly widening market. The
downy floss of the head Of the cat
tail is used for filing high priced sofa
pillows and cushions.
