DIVIDING THE TIPS.
The Method That Is Followed In
Some london Restaurants.

Some London Restaurants.
Tipping has bean reduced to a very
fine system in some English hotels and
restaurants. Il was sitting at meat
with the manager of one of the well
known London restaurants says a
writer I am short sighted and I'M
Observant,' l said, and as l never
know one waiter from another I'm al
ways uneasy lest I've tipped the wrong
one The manager laughed. Fritz,
bring the book, he said. The book
was opened upon the table and dis
closed columns and rows of figures OPP
Dosite the names of walters. Between
lhem the manager and Fritz explained
the system.
every penny given in tips was cast
into a common fund in charge of a
waiter elected by his fellows. At the
end of the week the sum was distrib-
uted. Three classes were arranged by
the manager, according to efficiency,
and the shares were in corresponding
proportions, SO that the junior who
hovers with the sauce is by no means
equally rewarded with the expert who
can advise in the matter of wine.
"Waiters keep jealous eye on their
fellows, and the man suspected of
socketing tip finds his position I'M
tenable. The system is good for the
public, since it diminishes the unpleas-
ing personality of charitable action.
It is good, too, for the walters, since
that record of the weekly gratuities
showed that the best walters made
about $1,000 a-year in tips"

THE BRIDES PORTION.
At One Time 1t Was Stated In the
Wedding announcement.


1t was common custom in the
eighteenth century, especially during
the reign of George H., to insert no.
tees of marriage stating the brides
portion in contemporary periodicals
and newspapers both in England and
Scotland
Almost every number Of the Gentle
mans Magazine at that time contain
ed several of these records, of which
the following, in 1871, is a specimen:
Married, the Revd. Mr. Roger Wanna,
of York, about twenty-six year of age,
to a Lincolnshire lady, upwards of
eighty, with whom he is to have IS
900 in money, f300 per annum, and a
coach and four, during life only"
Sometimes the notice merely de-
scribes the bride as lady with a
''good portion" or a .'genteel fortune"
One of the latest notices was in Aris'
Birmingham Gazette, July IA, 1900,
which recorded the marriage of Mr..
Canning, undersecretary of state, to
Miss Scott, with 100000 fortune."-

FRUIT MYSTERIES.
The Banana Is Seedlcss, Though No
body Knows Why.

The Banana Is Seedless, Though No
body Knows Why.
The banana is seedless, or nearly SO,
and has been for centuries, though
nobody knows why. 1t is propagated
by suckers and possibly had no seeds
when it was first found in its wild
state The banana is modified berry.
Cutting the fruit through the middle
you will sometimes see few little
brown spots, which are the rudimen-
tary seeds. Occasionally the banana
does actually produce a few seeds.
The pineapple is seedless, being prop
agated likewise from suckers and from
slips. The eggplant, which is fruit,
botanically speaking, is occasionally
seedless. This plant is able to pro-
duce developed fruit whether the bios
lists are endeavoring at the same time
to rid fruit plants of thorns. Some
oranges and lemons are very thorny-
for example, the high priced King
orange, which is the best of the man
darins. The first trees were brought
to the United States from Cochin Chi
ma. In Florida it's thorniness has been
reduced by selecting buds from the
branches with the fewest thorns.
Thorns are Objectionable because they
puncture the oranges and lemons
when the branches are blown about
by the wind Efforts are being made
to get rid of the thorns on raspberry
and blackberry plants simply for con-
venience in picking the fruit. The
thorns are meant by nature to protect
the plant from animals. Cultivators
select those plants which happen to
be thornless or nearly so.

YOUR MORNING DRAM.
Let 1t Be a Glass of Water and En-

Let 1t Be a Glass of Water and En-
joy an Inside Bath.
Drink a glass of water when you get
out of bed in the morning. Never mind
the size of the glass. Let the water
be cold if you will. Some people pre-
scribe hot water, but that isn't neces-
sary. You may have washed your face
already and relished the experience.
You may have taken a cold plunge into
the tub and delighted in the shock and
it's reaction. The brisk use of the tooth
brush has left your mouth clean and
the breath sweet. But you are dirty
still.
Drink a glass of cold water and en-
joy the sensation of being clean inside.
All that is luxurious in the cold bath
cleansing the outside is artificial. That
which should prompt the glass of wa
ter after sleeping is natural.
Drink a glass Of cold water in the
name of cleanliness. 1t becomes one
of the shortest and easiest of toilet
duties. 1t is swallowed in a second,
and in five minutes it has passed from
the stomach, taking with it the clog
ging secretions of the alimentary
tracts. 1t has left behind the stimulus
that goes with cold water, and, by fill
ing the arterial system to the normal, it
puts spur to the circulation that has
grown sluggish in the night.-Chicago

Observers are struck with the CANA

in the future. This is essentially a
modern development and stands to the
credit of the fathers Of the present

HOBO STEW.
A Culinary Triumph, That Is Dear to
the Tramp.

the Tramp.
The professional hobo generally trav-
els and operates alone, but if upon ar
irving at some large town or city he
/ happens to meet other congenial men,
bers of his profession a pooling of in
! terests is sometimes undertaken, ho-
DO camp set up, and the town is sys-
| telnatically worked. The spot or
camp usually chosen is in the outskirts
on some wooded tract not too far from
the railroad. Here the profits are di-
vided and tie different territories al
| Iotted. At nightfall all congregate to
| this point with the spoils and supplies,
and over the .shobo stew" incidents of
| the day are discussed. Hobo stew is
| a triumph of culinary art that these
gentry have particular weakness for.
A large iron pot is purchased, begged
or stolen and half filled with water.
Into this are thrown pieces of beef,
pork, chicken from some robbed hen
rooSt), bread, potatoes, carrots, ONIONS
and, in fact, everything edible that has
been or can be secured. When the sa-
worry mess is sufficiently boiled it is
eaten with much gusto by the tramp.
| These camps are never kept in exist
ence long, however, because the hobo
realizes that the danger of detection
and roundup is an ever present one
when a large number remain long to-
gether in any one camp. Professional
tramps, like the birds, have regular mi
gratory seasons. From April to Sep
TENDER this tide of immigration is to-
ward the northern and eastern states
and the region of the middle west.

Liked Wooden ships.

Admiral Farragut was a very old
fashioned sailor, with strong preju-
dice in favor of wooden ships" says
Captain F. s. Hill in his Twenty
Years at Sea-" The admiral had gain
ed his victories in such ships and de-
clared himself ''too old a dog to learn
new tricks" In the Mobile fights his
flagship was the wooden ship Hart
ford, though he was urged to take the
new ironclad Tecumseh. 1t was a note
worthy coincidence that the Tecumseh
was the only vessel lost in the battle.
She was sunk by torpedo and went
down With her captain and more than
