How the Waiter Lost Tip.

At one of the Kansas City hotels
where the colored walters give espe-
cially good service, but always expect
adequate remuneration for the same
from the guests, waiter was espe-
cially officious the other day in serv-
ing a man from whom he expected a
liberal tip. When the meal had been
served and he was standing off at one
side, eagerly looking for an oppOrtu-
nifty to be of service, he said to the
guest:
Didn't yo' have brothah heah last
week, sah?"
NO" said the one addressed, 81 be-
lieve not"
well" continued the walter, "theh
was a gem'man heah at nah table
what looked ve'y much like you, and
he was so we'll pleased with the serv-
ice that he gave me so cents when he
left"
The guest had by this time finished
his meal, and as he arose he said to
the eXpectant servitor:,
Come to think of it, Sam, that was
my brother that was here, and l guess
he paid you for the whole family. He
may be back again in week or two. "

| WORLDS FAIR FAR BEYOND EXPECTATIONS s
Verdict of New York Writer Who Spent Week at the s
s Exposition at ST. Louis July.

The Worlds Fair at st. Louis is
now in the midst of its splendid sea-
son. Colossal, complete, cosmopoli-
tan, 1t commands the attention of the
world as no other enterprise of the
present year. From all nations there
are pilgrims coming to this shrine,
and from all our states and territories
there is a constantly growing throng
OF visitors. United States Senators,
Governors Of States, men eminent in
science, art and letters-all express
unqualified admiration for the Exposi-
lion and free acquiescence in the Oft
repeated statement that this is by far
the greatest and best universal expo
sition ever held.
During July well-known magazine
and newspaper writer from New York,
Mr.. Addison Steele, spent week at
the Worlds Fair, inspecting the
grounds, buildings and various attrac-
tions as thoroughly as was possible in
that limited period. Returning home,
Mr.. Steele published in Brooklyn
Life the following appreciative COM
ments on the Exposition:

expected much of the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition, for l had kept in
touch with the making of it from it's

ticular it is far beyond my expecta-
tons. The biggest and best it was

arrangement of this group looked stiff
and unsatisfying. Far from that, it is
quite as remarkable in its way as the
famous Court Of Honor of the Colum-

even more notable, for instead of two
grand vistas it offers dozen. The
main vista is, of course, the one look

browning feature is the great Louisi-

the Grand Basin to the Cascade Gar

Witted Newspaper Man.

Representative Brownlow of Ten

country paper during campaign
times and was printing lighting"
language every week. One day, just
after the paper was out, a big man,
armed with club, walked into the
sarctum and fiercely inquired if the
editor was in. The frightened Brown
low had wit enough to answer that he
was not, but that he would go out
and hunt him up. He started for the
street and at the foot of the stairs
met another irate fellow, who asked

low, "he's up there at his desk just

On one of Mark Twain's later trips
down the Mississippi he travelled in

house and essayed the role of green
horn. The man at the wheel loaded

his best to store it away for future
use. Just as he had decided to move
away in order to dictate an outline

abruptly: Here, Mr.. Clemens, you

Why Birds Live Long.

Why do birds live so much longer
than mammals, which are often hun
dred times their size? Possibly, among
other things, because they have beaks
instead of teeth. All carnivorous
beasts become weak and liable to star
walton, as their teeth drop out or
break Neither are the herbivorous
animals in much better case. Old
horses would probably die of starva-
ton IL wild, for their. teeth would fail
them; indeed, in some stony countries
old horses have TO be killed because
their teeth are worn away by cropping
grass close to the rock. Rodents con-
stantly die from injuries to teeth. But
a birds beak neither wears out nor
drops off, and as it constantly swal-
lows fresh grit TO aid in grinding food
in the gizzard that needs no repairing
either.

In the Grand Parade.

The parade left the corner of Dart
mouth street and Commonwealth ave-
nue. at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning,
and the first halt called was at Beacon
street, opposite Joy street, so that
the formation of the line could be
perfected before passing in review.
The march then continued until the
corner of fremont and Boylston
streets was reached, when a second
authorized halt was made to allow the
commander-in-chief and his staff to
dismount and take their places in the
reviewing stand on Boylston street.
Each of these stops were about ten
minutes long.
There were more than $4,000 men
III the line. In the parade OF 1890,
the last held in Boston, the route was
Az miles long, and from the time the
march began until the COMMANDMENTS
chief mounted his reviewing stand
