Tipping in England.
From the London Telegraph.


= "a Would-be Guest" has written the fol-
lowing letter on the Tipping" nuisance N
England: "Apropos Of tipping one of the
banes of modern society," utterly preventing
the would-be guest of moderate means par
taking of hospitality (Which would be en-
joyable and beneflciaD, can relate what
friend told lne-that when staying with
certain noble lord some years ego for
shooting he offered Ell to the keeper for
two days sport. which was al, once refused
by him, saying he only accepted paper"
My friend told his host, who thanked him
for letting him know, and saia he had long
suspected such to be the case and he
would put stop to it, which, he promptly
did, and instituted the custom of handing
box around for contributions, custom
which, believe, prevails in most country
houses now. I have heard also of box
being placed in the hall for the other SER
wants. If q whole army of hosts and hos
tesses and guests would rise in revolt
against this system CT blackmah (for black

have the great pleasure of accepting their
friends hospitality with q mind at ease

Better Drunk Than Eaten.

From the London Globe.
A story with moral comes from Uganda.
A lion, thinking it about time to lunch,
seized white man and bit him. His teeth
went through bottle of whisky which the
man was carrying in his pocket and this
gave him such shock that he turned tail.
The moral Is obvious. Do not he a tee
totaler. If the man had been teetotaler
he would have been eaten. 1t is better to
be drunk than eaten.

probably one of the most interesting. It's

azine cover design: two or three poetic
landscape compositions; fair interpreta-
ton of Remembrance, a single clever
illustrative character study and a fresh,
colorful picture, painted in oils, of a flower

is a cropping toward something definite, evil

there is tendency to over-finish q disin-

fewest words, either with pen or brush is
the art of a master, but even a beginner
may strive in that direction.

In every art school the portrait class Is
proverbially the weakest, but a surprising
number of good canvases stand to the
credit Of the Corcoran portrait class this
season. The draped life class too, has
made amazing progress and shows work
far beyond any previously produced in the
school The still life class in oils also
stands admirably and contributes some ex
ceedingly satisfactory and important can
vases. among which are to be noted as
peculiarly pleasing a study of a copper tea
kettle, brown jar IL which have been
placed branches of ripe persimmons, a fruit
study and daintily rendered bowl of mas
turtiuns.
