sent her instead of jewels and curlos.
There were tables, chairs, corner cup

Dividing tho Tips.

Tipping has been reduced to very
fine system in some English hotels and
restaurants. II 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 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 op-
posite the names of walters. Between
them the manager and Fritz explained
the system.
Every penny given in tips was cast
into 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.
Waters keep Jealous eye on their
fellows, and the man suspected of
pocketing tip finds his position un-
tenable. The system is good for the
public, since 1t dimlnishes the unpleas-
ant personality of charitable action.
1t is good, too, for the walters, since
that record of the weekly gratuities
showed that the best walters made
about $1,000 year in tips"

EARL BEAuCHAMP. colony. The an
tipodeans, who have much less respect
for hereditary titles than English folk,
did not take very kindly to him. 1t
was long supposed that he would
never marry, because, according to ira
ditions, n curse had been laid on the
family. 1t was directed against the
eldest son of an eldest son. and de-
clared that such an one would never
inherit the wealth of the family be-
cause it had been derived from the
spoils of the church. The Earl is an
eldest son, but in 1902 he decided to
risk the curse, so far as any future
heir might be involved, by marrying
Lady Lettice Grosvenor, a daughter of
the late Earl Grosnevor and sister of
the second Duke of Westminster. 1t
was what is called brilliant match.
In his younger days he was regarded
as the dude Of the peerage, and is
still considered the best dressed man
in the House Of Lords.

duce any crop, but one, Of Ice and

ments conducted by the United States
Department of Agriculture, it is
known that it has not less than 3d.
10000 acres of tillable land, which
will be worth about $40 an acre when
fully brought under cultivation, add
ing to the value of the country $780,
100000, or 1900 times what 1t cost
us to buy the country thirty-seven
years ago.
The reiteratlon Of that purchase
price In tables Of comparison is good
thing. 1t shows what a harvest we
have with the expenditure of hand
full of seed. In 1908 the fish catch Of
all sorts was worth over $9.OOO,OOO,
and the amount Of gold produced near
ly $11.OOO,OOO. Compare those two
items alone with the original price Of
Stewards ice box" yet thirty-seven
years ago had anyone asserted that
it would produce anything having an
annual value of $4,000 they would
have been dubbed crazy. And the

A resume of the facts as they are to-
day is sufficient to make the story i'm
pressive and to show that the future
Of Alaska has only begun.
In 1867 1t imported nothing from
and exported nothing to the United
States. In 1903 1t bought from the
people of the United States $9,266, 504
worth of all kinds of merchandise and
sent US $21, 167, 7S7 worth Of gold, cop
per, tin, silver, fish, furs, fertilizers,
wool and numerous other products Of
the country. In other words, in one
year alone 1t paid back to us nearly
100000 more than the government
paid for the territory in 1867, and
added to the actual wealth of the
United States during the same period
approximately three times the amount
Of the original purchase price. When
the acquisition was made 1t was felt
that we had paid $7,2OO,OOO more than
the territory was worth; to-day its
mineral wealth is unknown, but has
been conservatively estimated by fair
ly competent authorities at 100000
600, n realization In one item alone Of
considerably more than 1000 per cent

than $50, 900, or over 1000 per cent
more than we paid for the entire terri

It Is Deep and Lasting, but, as a Rule,
Not OutspOken.
Public demonstration of affection Is
most repugnant to the good taste Of
the japanese, and 1t Is the absence of
this which is SO generally mistaken
for lack Of genuine feeling. recall
one man who was SO devoted to his
mother Though doubt whether he
could ever have been said to have
talked about" herr that when she
died, while he was abroad, his depres-
sion was so profound that my hus-
band watched him with anxiety lest
he should commit suicide. The stoical
training may render more unsympa-
thetic coarse nature, but repression
to the refined soul brings an exquisite
capacity for pain scarcely conceivable
by those who are free to give utter
ance to every emotion.
Another man said to ME, II rarely
speak of my mother, for foreigner
does not understand that a Japanese
mother may be just as dear to her son
as his to him and by the Japanese it
is not expected that one should utter
ones deepest feeling" That same
son tainted with grief when his moth
er died and when consciousness re-
turned rose to make light of little
dizziness" without reference to Its
cause. To this day, whenever he goes
from home, he carries with him his
mothers letters, mounted on beauti-
full roll of ivory and brocade. and on
the anniversary of her passing beyond
his mortal ken quietly devotes por-
ton of the day to meditation and spe-
cial thought Of her. Even to his wife
despite the closest bond of love, he
says not, This is the day of my moth
er's death."-Outlook.

LLOYD c. GRlscoM. can minister, Lloyd
G. Grlscom, during this period. The
japanese are n sensitive people and a
little less of wisdom and tact and the
good offices of America might come
with less acceptance than they have
thus far. Nothing could exceed the
kind feeling existing in Japan to-day
toward the United States, and this
feeling has been greatly enhanced by
the American minister.
Mr.. Griscom Is one of the youngest
men holding such an important posi-
ton under our government. He sue
ceeded the late Col. Alfred e. Buck,
who died early in 1903. He represent
ed our government in Persia before
going to Japan, and was also before
that charge d'affaires in Constantine
pie. In both places he distinguished
himself by his efforts to secure full
recognition of the rights of Americans
without friction or unpleasantness.
American interests have never been
cared for in japan with more dignity
and safety. and Mr.. Griscom holds
not only the constantly growing re-
spect and admiration of the resident
Americans and travellers through
Japan, whom he always receives with
rare grace and cordially, but he
commands the esteem and regard of
the diplomatic corps and the japanese
government.
