The average workman has too vivid al
imagination to work unconcernedly 200
or 800 feet above hard pavements He
thinks always about falling, and the
thought IS like a rolling snow ball-it

theory of any easy victory for the attacking

the Russians are no better than the Chinese IN

on them. The experts. who possess some knowl-

the Russians have strengthened their fortress
materially since the hostilities began. and that
the Japanese have before tFem one OF the hard~

the most effective policy would be 70 lay siege
or 10 attempt to take the place by storm. some
officers evade direct choice Of methods oy say
ing that the quickest results can be obtained by

might be adopted and advantage taken or any
opposition presenting ITSELF for attack Perhaps
this Is what was done with such poor success

TIE TAX OF TIPPING

In the last quarter century the custom Of giv-
ing "tps" has become amazingly prevalent
among Americans, especially in the large cities,
although it was practically unknown in any part
Of the United States before the Civil War This
practice adds heavily TO the cost of living
among those who take many of their meals at
restaurants. Then the men In barber shops. the
drivers OF hired vehicles of all kinds. the bar.
keepers as well as the walters, and many others,
including even the bootblacks, expect gratuities
In addition TO the regular payments for their
services Fortunately, tipping" is kept out of
the high class clubs Of New-York and ii is re-
lief to the members that they are free from this
burdensome imp0st

practice. THE Warwick Advertiser saws that
