Tipping the Cook.

In old times to dine with nobleman cost more In tips to the servants than . club dinner. Lord Poor, we'll nanl- cd Irish peer, excused himself from dining with the Duke of Ormond upon the ground that he could not afford It. "If you will give me the guinea l have to pay your cook, will come as often as you choose to ask me"-which was accordingly done. The duke, however, had not the pluck to stop the tipping practice Lord Taafe, q general officer in the Austrian service, did what he could He always attended his guests to the door. When they put their hands into their pockets he said: No If you do give it. give it to me, for it was l who paid for your dinner" To Sir Timothy Waldo must be given the credit of putting an end to the monstrous practice. After dinner with the Duke of Newcastle he put crown into the cooks hand. It was rejected. "I do not take silver, sir" 'Nery good. And l do not give gold This cou- rageous rejoinder caught on,' and the day of vails to cooks was over.- St. James Gazette.

TO PAVE MARTIN
 AVENUE WITH BRICK
Property Owners on That Street Re. etween Olive and State Streets. Will Form Improvement Dis.
 trict to Carry Out Work.

A large number of the property owners of Martin avenue between State and Olive streets have prepar- ed a petition, which will come up at the City Council meeting tonight, ask ing that a paving district be formed to pave that avenue between those two streets, and it has been learned that they want the street paved with vitrified brick win a concrete base. These property owners had at first planned to form a private paving dis trict, so as to save the expense of having the improvement district form ed, but owing to certain hindrances, they decided that the best way to do it would be to form an improvement district in the regular way.
 This aetition will come up before the council meeting tonight, and if it is granted, the commissioners and assessors will probably be appointed at the next meeting of the council. Most of the arrangements have all ready been made and it is thought that the contract for the paving will be let during the first part of next month.
 When the other paving districts have been formed as rule, the city has made a donation to them, but in this case no donation will be asked. One reason for this is that the district is so small, only five blocks. The city could not afford to appropriate anything, and the other reason is that the city has already done a great deal of work there, in the way of grading and improving the street. The proper ty owners told the city authorities that if they would grade the street, they would pave it.
 The interested parties have made inyestigations as to the cost and feas- ibility of asphalting the street, but have been told that the machines with which the work was done could not De brought here for so small an amount of work without excessive charges. It is very probable now that the street vi1, he paved with yitrifed brick.

In his two years Of speculation through

his losses in the neighborhood of $500
