An Anti.Tippina Law.

England has now an anti-tlppng
law whict the courts seem disposed
to enforce. 1t is known as an act
for the prevention of corruption. and
is based on the theory that a person
who gives money to the employee Of
another to do that which he is not
hired to do, is guilty of bribery. The
first case under the new law was
tried last month, when the Lancashire
& Yorkshire Railroad Co. sued a
clothier's clerk In Manchester for
bribing one of it's carriers by giving
to him I'm one case a shilling and in
another Sd, for carrying parcels to
customers. The facts were admitted,
and the only defense offered was that
1t was the common practice to give
tips" In this way The magistrate
decided that the law was passed to
stop this practice, and imposed fine
of al and ordinary costs upon the
clerk, besides special costs of n lit
tie more than e1. 1t does not yet
appear whether the court will hold
that the law applies TO tipping In res

Wants Nurses In Navy.

Surgeon General Rixey is preparing
to make strong appeal to Congress
mt It's next session to correct a
lamentable deficiency I'm the medical
branch of the naval service. The
surgeon general points out that the
American navy Is without single
trained nurse. No matter how severe
the illness of the officers and sailors

received In the line of duty, the
American bluejacket must rely for
his care In time OF trouble upon a
hospital steward and an apprentice.
In ordinary times the ships sur
geons are often taxed to care proper
ly for the normal number of sick and
injured aboard ship. When there ia
an epidemic of feaver or measles
(the latter often serious malady
among male adults), such as occurred
not long ago on the battleship Con-
necticut, 1t has been found impossible
to give the invalids the necessary
scientific and careful nursing required
by their illness.
