russians and sunflOwer seed.

From Lesle's Weekly.
A French physician, DR.. Marcou, states
that one of the first things which struck
his on his arrival in Russia was the enor-
nous quantity of sun-fiower seeds con
stunned In that country. The seeds, which
are oleagnous and have an agreeable
taste, are constantly chewed by the peo-
pie The outer husk is detached with
the teeth and spat out. These husks are
then scattered about on pavements and
garden walks, in railway carriages, tram
way cars and cabs, and on the floors of
restaurants and private rooms. On days
of public festivlty the ground everywhere
is covered with them as thickly as the
streets of Paris are strewn with confetti
during the carnival. At every street cor
ner brisk trade is done in the seeds by
old women A striking proof of this pas
sion-for it is nothing less-of the Rus
sian peasant is the fact that the Czarina
could think of nothing that would be more
welcome to the soldiers In Manchuria, and
she is said to have spent $3.50 in satisfying
their craving for sunfower seeds. AS the
seeds are very cheap, that sum represents
an enormous consignment.

the experience thus far met with, we are
told that his judgment has been war;

deserves well at the hands of the Amer
lean people who wish to see the theatre
exalted. No other two players in the
country can so thoroughly meet the re-
quirements of the Shakespearean and
classic drama. u. II. Sothern and Julia
Marlowe have every quality essential
and as Romeo and Juliet" they certainly
offer treat such as this generation is
not likely to enjoy again for long time.
1t is evident that this is the feeling on
the part of the theatre patrons, for al
ready, we are told, the Libraries are in
state of siege, and all those who can find
the time are searching for records OF
those Shakespearean heroes and heroines.
The company in support of these CO.
stars selected by Mr.. Frohman from his
large corps is adequate to meet the crit
ical test that they will have to undergo,
while we are assured that the scenic in
vestiture and accessories are most sump-
tuous. Already the inquiries at the box
office are so numerous as to give assur-
ance of a capacity house.

The sale of seats has been very large

charged in New York for the best seats

All the musicians in the audience will

from the music the drama as a scenic
production would draw a great crowd at

Parsifal, being the browning work of

home, and bided her time. IL soon
came her time to entertain the club and
furnish the prize. She gave the parrot
as the BOBBY prize, too. From that
time on the parrott became the BOBBY
prize, and made the rounds Of most of
the homes Of the women. Finally the
woman who originated the idea won the

A LAW AGAINST Tips.

II seems that in WISCONSIN a bill
intended as preventive Of "rake of"
inadvertently contains clause which
makes it unlawful to give "tip" to
a waiter or porter.
As an anti-rake-off measure the bill
was innocuous enough TO excite little
interest. But as an anti.tipping meas
ure IL has started a cyclone Of disap-
prevail Yet an attempt to amend it
has failed. The legislature "stands
pat" and hereafter in Wisconsin any
man who gives "tip" or takes one
will be subject TO a severe penalty.
Religious freedom in Russia makes
strong appeal to the worlds humanita-
rians, but freedom from the tipping
practice in Wisconsin touches the
American heart more tenderly still.
II is the little impositions and in.
justices from which we suffer most.
The magma eharta was a mighty step
towards human liberty, but il still left
us slaves TO the hotel waiter and the
Pullman porter.
II the waiter does not get the sum he
expects he can make II so disagreeable
that the unfortunate guest will give ii
the next time in self-defense. In many
European cities the walters get no
wages, but are required to pay some
thing for the privilege of waiting on
the guests from which he extracts his
pay. In this country it is likely that
the hotels get their walters cheaper be.
cause Of the tips, or, in other words,
the guest must pay for his meals at
such rate AS will include rent, service,
etc, and in addition must help in this
way to pay the wages Of the wafer, but
to the landlord.
The system has driven the walters
more and more into the attitude Of
sturdy beggars or highwaymen, and it
is becoming more and more intolerable
as nuisance to the guests The tip
is no longer regarded as a gratuity.
It is demanded as a right, and few
walters take the trouble to thank the
giver. If he does not give at all he
viii soon be sorry.
Wisconsin has made a great advance
in human rights. Here's hoping that
the legislators Of other states may
throw or the thralldom of the walters
and make freedom from "tips" uni.
versal.
