Tips Paid to Walters.

Do you know that the American
people give over 100000 a year in
tips?
This estimate, astounding as 1t may
seem, is probably too low. Think o.
presenting s13,71S a day in tips for
services that you have already paid
for. Take pencil and paper and figure
it out-the result Is surely startling.
The Pullman car porter Is the chief
Of the tip grafters. There are 5000
Of them in the United States, and the
one who does not collect a dollar a
day would be considered useless. The
company pays them low salaries with
the expectation that they will make
1t up from the travelling public. The
5000 porters must take in at least
10000 a day, and that would be 3d..
100000 a year.
Figure out the walters profits.
Several years ago a waiter in one
of the large New York restaurants
brought suit for $4,000 because he
had been so badly injured that he
could no longer serve customers. He
testified that good waiter in New
York would average $40 day. Les.
ser lights would fall much below this,
but taking the thousands of good, bad
and Indifferent the country over, it Is
easy to show that they get $4,000, 900
year.

To be well set dining table needs
a centerpiecc of some sort, whether
1t be flowers, fruit or simply dish
Of bonbons Nor is It necessary to
have the table look attractive only
when there are guests. In spite OF
all the hurry and hustle with which
Americans ara credited, they are be-
ginning to appreciate the value of nice
table appointments and look upon a
prettily decorated table as conducive
to a good appetite. And there is no
doubt that this is really so; many

the center. The whole atmosphere of
the dining room is affected by 1t.
AS a matter of fact 1t is not such
an expensive matter to have cen
terpiece for the table even in winter,
for even then there is usually fruit and
1t is most effective to have basket
or fancy dish of apples and oranges
on the table Most people in these
fruit-loving days keep supply on
hand, and as a table ornament a bas-
ket of highly polished apples is not
to be despised
Some people object to forced
blooms because they think 1t ssoils
the pleasure in natural blooms when
their. season comes, but there Is al
ways an easily distiuguishable differ
ence between dollhouse and outdoor
flowers which makes the latter all the
more welcome when they come.
Where the party at table is small
1t Is never well to have high center
piece of flowers. Conversation around
the corner of large bunch of flowers
is stited and uncomfortable. Where
the party Is large 1t does not make so
much difference, because there are
other people to talk to besides those
directly opposite.
White lilacs are perhaps the most
delicately beautiful flowers of the ad-
vance season for table decorations.
They are very graceful when massed
in a large bowl or in tall vase, and
they light very well indeed, being
most effective as a background for
handsome silver and cut glass. Their
odor, while fragrant, Is so subtle that
It adds to, rather than detracts from
their enjoyment in close room.

German Turkey Stuffinq.

An old recipe for stuffing turkey Is
as follows: Take stale white bread
slice it very thin and pour as much
boiling milk over 1t as will soften 1t;
the dryer It is the better; cover 1t
close; cut small onion very fine and
boil 1t in butter until 1t is soft; then
beat five eggs, leaving out two whites,
and stir them into the hot butter and
onion until they are little hardened;
mash the bread very fine and mix all
together with pepper, salt and little
parsley chopped fine; put this mixture
into the turkey with a spoon; the
quantity is for a small turkey.
The allowance of eggs seems large

Care of Umbrellas.

1t is at the joints that umbrellas
break first, and it is scarcely surpris-
ing, for they are never oiled, and yet
are expected to work smoothly and
respond easily to the most sudden act
of opening.
Most people after using an umbrel.
la on a wet day, even II they do care
fully dry 1t, regard any further proc
ess as needless; but there are other
means of lengthening their term of
usefulness.
To preserve an umbrella and obtain
the best possible use out of 1t, the
joints should be carefully oiled with
parafiin or kerosene oil, to clean OFF
any possible rust, just as in the case
of bicycle, and then be touched"
with lubricating oil to make them
work easily. Thus cared for, the
framework will last In excellent order

ly after they have been worn. Let
the bodice of a dress hang over the
back of a chair for at least half an
hour before putting 1t away. The
oldest clothes can be kept fresh and
odorless IL they are kept in this
way.
Children should be taught to turn
their stockings inside out and to hang
them over the back of chair on go
ing to bed. All body linen should be
hung over the back of chair at
night, so air can circulate freely
through 1t. The neat little packs of
clothes, folded up and put one on top
of the other, which our grandmothers
delighted in, were extremely unhy-
gienic.
In Baking
Pies with an upper osRst, by pinning
a piece Of white cloth about one and
one-half inches wide, wet In cold
water, around the pie after IL is, ready
for the oven, you will prevent the
juice from running out. Bend the
pin over and water the edge of the
plate and fasten the cloth tightly
around the pie.
Leather Goods
Never should be kept in a place that
is extremely dry, as the heat will
cause the leather to crack; nor in
damp places that will make it moldy.

White Paint.
The best way to clean white paint
is to take soft flannel cloth, dip 1t
In warm water, wiring out and then
dip in a saucer Of clean bran. The
friction of the bran will remove any
stain without injuring the paint.
When Washing
Sateen, or any cotton material with

will have a gloss when ironed.

is, that the law did not create a special
