TIP SYSTEM IN GERMANY.

The tip nuisance in private houses
is described by Jean Huret in Paris
newspaper. He says that the holdu0
system for the benefit of house selE-
ants and coachmen is shameless.
it isn't the expense ne cares about
nor even the annoyance of having to
search your pockets every time you
make your exit from house, no.
yet the modification you feel II you
forget the tip; what overwhelms biz
with surprise is the coarseness of the
practice. How would a Frenchmau
feel. he asks. if he found his guests
distributing small change to his serv-
ants?
Huret relates what he says is a
typical instance OF the abuse Il
took place under his own eyes in
Hamburg.

took lady who had been lunching
at their house to her home in their
victoria As she alighted she fun

EXECUTION IN INDIA.

Pow a Sentence Of Death Was Car
ried Out on Streets of Hyderabad
The decision as to whether the muir
derer should be executed or impris-
oned for life was, says the Civii ana
Military Gazette, ia describinb an eA
ecution at Hyderabad Of a Pathan
who had shot his brotherinlaw. as is
usual, left to the murdered man s
relatives, and his wife. the sister OF
the murderer, voted for death.
On the day of the execution there
appeared in the streets a band OF
sweepers armed with leafy twigs, fol
lowed by a squad OF the city Arab
police with fixed bayonets. Then
came the criminal, dressed in new
white garments. with new halter
around his neck and new ropes at
taehed TO his arms. The ends of
these ropes were held by policemen.
The oro,nary thing is for the con
demned man TO walk, but In this case
he was SO overcome that he had to
be conveyed in a jutka.
On arriving at the fatal spot the
murderer WAS made 10 alight and
kneel down. while the policemen
handed over charge of the cords to
the executloner's attendants, one OF
whom, sewing the end OF the halter,
stood in front of the feIon. while 9th

behind. The executioner, bandishing

ard for ice-cream.

For the first time in the history OF
this county, quite proportion of the
ieecream and hot weather drinks
win be watched over by the United
States government. This fact has
already trickled into the minds OF
manufacturers. who are making many
inquiries of the federal bureau of
chemistry department Oh agriculture.
1t is rather peculiar that icecream
questions should be passed upon IN
Washington. as the federal law
touches only articles of interstate
commerce. But the passage of this
law has developed the fact that ice
cream plays quite a part in commerce
between the states, and ii likewise
develops that fact that this interstate
commerce icecream has to be boil
stored up with gelatine. None Of it
happily is used In this place. All we
use here is homemade.
1t is expected with regard TO this
gelatine question that the manufac-
turers are bothered, They don't at

icecream as containing gelatine, for
in popular opinion, they think. such a
label will give their product black
eye But they are asserting to the
agricultural department with much
earnestness that they absolutely must
use gelatine. They assert that ice
cream which is shipped some distance
will not keep in good condition IN
less II contains gelatine, which gives
il body The limit of life of icecream
which does not contain gelatine is
placed by these manufacturers at
twenty-four hours.
The same old questions have arisen
with reference to the use Of ice
cream powders Manufacturers want
to know what sort of label must be
placed ON their cream if they use any
manufactured powder The ruling OF
the federal experts is that the manu-
facturers of the cream must place
on their cream if they use any man

Sir John writes: The first fact to
be noted is that murder. as might be
expected, is . crime of men. Murder
means murder by men in a great ma
jority of cases. Out of 532 sentenced
to death since 1886, 4SS were men.
The figures are more remarkable be-
cause as regards women they include
cases of child murder, to which they
are, of course, much more prone than
men The proportion of persons ex-
ecuted to those sentenced is also
much higher in r1en.
The next noticeable point. which Is
rarely mentioned, is that great ma
ior!ty of the persons murdered are
women. They are as three to one.
Murder means to a very great extent
the numbering of women by men. 1t
is a curious fact, ca the other hand.
that the number of men killed by
manslaughter exceeds women by two
to one"
A great majority of the murders are
committed by persons between the
ages of q and 40, that is, during the
period of greatest physical yigor. This
fact is Illustrated by the following
table showing the ages of persons con
victed of murder from 1886 to 1905:

seemed to take il as matter Il
Course. The couple drove on with
him TO his hotel.
He confesses that he had not the
courage of the day. He gave the
.coachman no tip, Literally he did not
dare ii .nflict such an outrage on the
pleasant people who had shown him
many attentions. But later he was
told that he had made a big mistake:
that he had failed to do the chic
thing.

The only parallel he knows TO ii is
in some country places in the north
of France, where he has seen guests
slip pieces of money under their
plates at the close of a dinner party
to be found by the servants who
waited on them.
In German houses where large en-
tertaining is done the servants braNl

upon their product the formula Of the
powder which they use. The under
standing of the experts here is that
icecFeam powders commonly consist
of gelatine, together with other ma
terials, the use of which makes the
ieecream expand very materially,
thereby increasing to thu manufae-
turer the income from a given amount
of material For instance. it is un-
derstood. an iceeream powder which
does NOT expand eight gallons of raw
material into close to ten gallons of
.icecroam isn't of much account.
The agricultural department has
fixed a standard for icecream. It
must contain sugar and cream, with
or without natural fiavoring, and must
contain IA per cent by weight. of but
ter fat. For fruit or nut icecream.
. per cent of butter fat is counted
sufficient.
All bottles of carbonated drinks en-
tering into interstate trade must
henceforth bear labels. The custom
has been to label only the crates. The
bottle labels during the coming hot
weather must indicate the fact, #
artificial coloring or artificial fiayoring
is used. This ruling will, it is said,
hit many carbonated drinks, as it is
quite customary with manufacturers
to use artificial flavoring, and then by
adding artificial coloring try to make
the product look as If natural flavor
had been used.
