Whnt a DInln1nnt Is.

The London Pail Mall Gazette dis
cusses the word "diplomatist," inter-
preting 1t as zone with q double duty
and double rcsponsbilty"-to his
own country and the country that re-
ceivcs him. The evolution of ''dplo-
matist" from the Greek verb for ito
double" is very curious. "Diplomn." a
doubling, was specialized as Il folded
paper and particularly In Roman times
nm Official passport or license. Thus
diplomatic science" down to the end
OF the eighteenth century meant the
science of manuscripts and documents,
which explains modern writer's
strange remark that there Is not a
shadow OF diplomatic doubt thrown
over the integrity of the .third gospel"
DIR. Mnrray's Dictionary assigns the
translation TO the modern meaning to
Leibntz's "CodcX Juris Centrum Dip
lomaticus" documentary code of inter
national law and the title Of similar
French work. diplomatic" came to
be considered as meaning "interna-
tionai documentary" and then the
documentary" dropped out.

a good illustration of the quick wit
of woman appears In the following
incident of the old coaching days Of the

not deserve his reward. The coach
WAS OH It's way over Il lonely road and
carried among its passengers Il lady
going to join her husband and n man
travelling by himself.

cOntided the lone traveller to the lady.
and feel very uneasy Would you

we are held UP they are less likely to

The lady consented and hid the roll
of bills. Toward evening the Shout of
"Throw up your hnnds" brought the
coach to stan1still. and four men,
masked and OH horseback, demanded
at the point Of the pistol That MI money
should be Immediately given up. The
lone traveller passed over all his re.
manning cash. consisting Of II few dol
lars. and WAS congrutulating himself
OH his escape when, to his horror, he
heard the lady say:
81 have thousand dollars here, but
suppose l must give it up" And
without further hesitation she handed
over the precious pile of grecnbaclis.

ADVICE AS TO TIPS.

1nerc recently has been widespread
discussion of the tipping habit, pro
vokcd by law recently passed in one
OF the Western States. The esteem
ed New York Sun has hecn drawn into
the matter by the receipt of the fol.
lowing letter:
TO the Editor of The Sun: Sr-Will
you treat this question of tipping cdi-
torinlly ANA say What. in your opinion,
is a fair tin to Il waiter un Il check for
"a cents, one for $l.50 and one for 81?
t. S.
Spring Lake, N j., June {.
Wherempon our New York contcmpo-
Iary lays down the law rs follows:
This letter invites us To enter into Il
discussion which ought not To arise in
this country.
There is no fair tip" a tip is purely
gratnity. and there Is no law of
.morals. propricty or usngc governing
to give Il waiter is fair" and il is
also fair" if he gives no tip. There
is no sort of obligation Of dccency or
custom as to the matter, ut least in
this democratic country
The Sun goes on 10 tell of the all.
surd system Of cXtortion hat has
grown up along this line in England
AMI of American freedom from the
evil until Il comparatively recent date
The time was. it says. when any Am.
erican world have resented as an in.
suit the offer Of a tip in return for
mere civiliy or for requisite service
If there are to he tips at all. the Sun
recommends the rule of making them
something like 10 per cent of The bill.
IA tip of Il dime for meal costing Il
dollar or thcrcabontS. or Of q quarter
for Il dinner mp TO ST. is ample" says
the Sun, and il winds mp with The in
Junction Don't be bullozcd by the

While the system of feeling every.
one who performs trivial service,
even when such service is paid for in
other directions. has not hecnmc So
general in this country MS In Europe,
there are times when ii is difficult for
the ordinary mortal. who does not in.
dnlge in tips, to secure consideration
AT the hands Of those who arc chasing
fees rather than performing their
duties with imparlialiiy. We believe
the Sun has hit upon the proper soll-
ton of the whole problem. The man
who cannot afford To pay tip should
not allow himself to he bulldOzcd by
the waiter, and he who feels inclined
To give small fee should not allow

THE GREAT ICE AGE.
How its PnSsinE Left Its Record In
Gruvels and Rocks.


Sor~e 10000 or more years ago the
conditions Which had brought about
the great ice age where beginning to
change. The elevated land begun to
sink. and higher temperature slowly
followed. The long winter was gradu-
ally drawing to Il close. and the great
Springtime of the world WAS beginning
TO hasten It's influence upon an Ice COW
cred land. Tons, rather mountains, of
Ice began To melt, and the water filed
the river valleys to Overlooking. Gray
81, sand ana mud were borne along by
these raging waters and deposited
wherever the conditions were favora-
BILE. Ice rats covered the surface Of
the food, bearing rocks and powders
from more northern lands
All rivers which had glacial sources
were greatly influenced by the final
melting. AS the southern part of the
ice sheet rested over northern Penn
sylvania, the Delaware and the Sus-
puchanna were typical rivers of the
age The rocks and gravcls which line
their hunks show how well they have
kept the record. In the Delnwa val
ley brick clay and gravel are laid out
In beautiful terraces. especially ut
StrOudsburg and the Water Cap. Here
the waters rose some 300 feet, and an
artificial dam is supposed to have
formed the river into II broad lake
The Indians. 1t is said, have Il curious
Legend about this Hood. They tell us
that the "Mnsics' were the first race
which dwclt here, and the region round
about they call "NIinisink." meaning
that the waters are gone"-a vague
remembrance perhaps of the postgla-
Gal foods.
