TIPS IN JAPAN.

There the Innkeeper Is Not Forgot
ten When Guest Goes Away.
IF you hotelkeepers should ever be
told Of the Japanese method Of tipping,
why we would all have to take to the
woods" said a far eastern traveller, in
the New Orleans Picayune. I'm a Jap
anese hotel you give the proprietor the
biggest tip of all when leaving and
grade the other tips accordingly.
When your bill is handed to you it
is customary to wrap up in a separate
piece of paper an amount approximate
ing about one-fifth of the whole account
and give that to the worthy innkeeper,
together with the regular amount re-
CURED Of you by his account, which you
indorse in the folded bill. Then you
wrap up smaller sums in smaller pieces
of paper and parcel these Christmas
packages out among the servants who
have waited on you.
This tip to the boniface is called
chodal, or tea money, and the Japanese
explain it's usage after this manner Of
reasoning:
"All hotel charges in Japan are forced
by law to be very low, so that even the
very poor man who finds himself on
the road of nights can get food and
shelter for nominal sum. The rich
man has to pay no more than the beg
gar.
"Since the hotel man could not make
a living If this order Of things were al
lowed to exist, without some saving
grace, some recompense must be made
to the hotelkeeper for his enforced gen
crosby. Therefore, 1t is argued, if a
guest can well afford to give the host
something more than he asks he not
only provides for those less fortunate
than himself, but he tends himself
against the evil day when he may have
to ask a beggar's board and bed. 1t is
not charity to the innkeeper, but mere
ly wise provision against possible hard
times.
But If man whom the worthy host
believes to be able to afford a generous
chodal leaves the hotel without paying
the same, woe betide him should he
ever return to that hostelry again. He
will get last chance at the communal
bathtub, will get the most drafty room
in the house, and in a hundred ways
be made to feel that he is the most mis-
cradle of men,"

Africa. A northeast passage was first
looked for, and then n passage by way
of the northwest Although the explor'
ers encountered floating ice they do not
appear to have started out with the
same respect for the frozen barrier
they subsequently admitted.
About the middle of the sixteenth
century Edward VI. sent out Sir Hugh
Willoughby to find northeast passage.
It appears to have reached Nova Zem-
bla, and was subsequently lost. Forty
years later Barentz reached II deg,
named the great sea he discovered
Spitzbergen, had some exciting expert
ences, but failed to find an open pass
age across the North Pole. Henry Hud-
son tried to find the passage between
Spitzbergen and Nova Zembla, which
would lead across the Pole, but, al
though he failed, he was the first ex-
plorer to get into the Sos of north lati-
tude. He reached 81 deg. north in
1907, and 900 years were to pass before
Parry surpassed this record, when, in
1927, the English navigator reached 50
deg. 45 min.
The quest of the Pole is of compare
lively recent origin, If the early at
tempts to effect northwest passage
are not put in that category. Barentz,
Willoughby. Chancellor and Hudson
were the first to discover the difficulty

TerrOrs of the Arctic.
TO Peary the Far North has few ter
rors, yet even he is willing to admit
the terrors are there. Hunger and
starvation" he says, "have played an
important part in many Arctic expedi-
lions, yet it should be remembered that
they have played an equally prominent
part in expeditions in what are consld-
cred more favored regions. Careless
ness or mismanagement, or inexperl-
ence, or carelessly considered taking
of chances, may make them a serious
menace anywhere in the world. In
regard to hunger, as in regard to dark
ness, how many Of my readers know
what real hunger is? l do not mean
the hunger of the man who has slowly
starved to death inactive until he Is
semi conscious and life Is but the faint
est spark. Such hunger 1 have never
known.
What I do mean is the hunger
which man feels who has for weeks
been working to his limit in the biting
air of the Arctic regions, on half ra-
tons or less, till he is only gaunt ma
chine Of bones and sinews; the hun
ger Of a man whose heart and lungs
and muscles are working overtime,
whose stomach is thin as a sheet Of
paper, but whose blood is still red and
hot, and every drop Of it calling for
meat.
THAT is the hunger which leads
man to jump on bear or musk OK that
he has just killed, lift the skin with his
knife, and fill up on the delicious raw,
warm meat, without waiting for the
useless luxuries of fire or salt. The
hunger which, when a dog dies in har-
ness, makes a man stand off the other
dogs, till he himself has eaten"
He is just as Indifferent to the In
tense cold which seems to freeze the
very air, when tempered steel and sea-
soned oak and hickory become brittle,
soft iron becomes as hard as steel, mo-
lasses and lard are cut with Ratchet,
petroleum turns white and grows thick
like ice cream, and ones breath turns
instantly to ice."
In spite Of the sufferings Of cold,
hunger and fatigue which beset the
seeker Of the northern apex of the
earth, Peary has proved that properly
organized expedition composed Of the
right sort Of men may safely reach
high ATTITUDES. and perhaps even the
North Pole itself.

"The North Pole" said Commander
Robert e. Peary before starting on his
latest expedition, "is the last great
geographical prize which the world has
to offer to adventurous man; the priza
for which the best men of the strong
est, most enlightened, most adventur-
Gus nations of the earth have been
struggling unsuccessfuliy for nearly
four centuries; the trophy which the
grandest nation of them all would be
proud to win"
Peary's hopes of the prize are found
ed upon his extraordinary knowledge
of the Arctics. He spent the greater
part Of ten years in his reconnaissance
of the Great Ice Cap Of Greenland.
Having conquered this immense Arctic
Sahara, he turned his thoughts toward
the attainment Of the North Pole in
1897.
