A bill making 1t misdemeanor to
fee any waiter, servant or porter con-
nected with any hotel, restaurant,
lunchroom or public service corpora
ton is to be introduced in the Mary
land legislature. The measure is not
to be a one-sided statute, however
but will provide punishment alike for
him who proffers the tip. 1t can safe
~ be predicted that should such a
foolish law be enacted 1t Will remain
a dead letter and soon be utterly for
gotten. However disagreeable the
tipping practice may be to some peo-
ple-and there is no doubt that 1t has
come to be something Of nuisance
1t is certainly not crime, and the
criminal courts can employ their time

there is a superabundance, than by

in the Department of Antioquia at an
expense, so far, of more than 100000
pesos.
Surgeon General Wyman of the
United States Marine Hospital Service
has selected an area approximately
mile square as the leper settlement on
the island OF Molokai as the site of
the hospital for lepers authorized at
the last session of Congress. This
hospital is declared by the act to be
for the treatment of such lepers as
may be legally committed to it by the
Territory of Hawaii. and for the sci
entific study of the disease. If this
purpose is carried out. there will be,
for the first time in the forty years
history of segregation in the Hawaiian
Islands, continuity of study of the
disease from a scientific standpoint
The life in the settlement is that of
the ordinary Hawaiian community.
The lepers live in cottages provided
for them by the Board of Health,
which has charge of the settlement
They are provided with rations of poi,
fish, meat and tea.-New York Tribune.

miserable hut in corner of the ceme-

walls are of discarded bits of sheet
iron obtained from structures built by
French canal workers, which have
since tumbled down. 1t has no floor
and is bare of furniture. The China
man cooks the food which is brought
to him over the open fire, and sleeps
on pile of dirty mating. A few feet
