Parks as Money Makers.

To the statistics showing the value of
park lands to Il city or town an inter
eSting addition has been made, says
the Architectural Record. 1t is a COM
munication sent to each member of
the general council of Louisville by
General John b. Castleman, who is
president of the park board. He quotes
a former city assessor as stating some
years ago after careful investigation
that park development had added 500
DOC, 900 to the taxable values. Accept
ing the present rate of assessment
$1.SG). General Castleman finds that
the income to the city from this in
crease is $4,000 a year. In ten years
it comes to $780, 600, and in the same
period the total outlay for parks was
S2,O70,625.S3. Thus the municipality
realized in addition to the property it
received and the pleasure given to cit
liens a net cash profit over all expendi-
lures of $1,G00,000, a big thing for a
city the size of Louisville to get in ten
years and a result that may properly
encourage park expenditures elsewhere.

"Tippino" In Europe.

According to immemorial usage, Eu-
ropean servants are entitled to tips as
an assured part of their income. At
the hotels the theory is that the land
lord furnishes a guest a private room
and the use of the public rooms, heat
and light, food and dishes, but not
mental service. For convenience he
keeps at hand a corps of servants who
will respond to the guests summons,
but at his expense. In old times trav-
elers were attended by their own serv-
ants to wait on them. The modern
custom echoes the ancient. The trav-
eler no longer carries with him q ret
lnue Of servants, because he can hire
temporarily those of the landlord. The
customary fees are the payment. To
avoid fleeing is really to cheat the serv-
ants, who need all they can get, heav-
en- knows. A chambermaid at the best
hotels receives as wages only about 50
a month. Tipping servants IN America
Is a regrettable imitation of the Euro
pean custom without its resting on the
reasonable bnsis of the foreign institu-
tions.-Travel Magazine.
