Tact,
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

The application of tact in ones inter-
course with others is essential if one is
to enjoy peace of mind or Astounding
success. The use of tact does not imply
insincerity, compromise with honor, the
playing of a part or any form of diplo-
macy which involves deception. Many a
good cause has been hurt by an INTACT
fui method of presentation. There is a
time and place for everything. Mis-
guided zeal in exploitation has impaired
or ruined hopeful enterprises. 1t is the
impression of the inexperienced that
| energy and ability are the only keys to
success. Some have the illusion that
mere enthusiasm in mission will insure
its prosperity. The value of enthusiasm
is not to be gainsaid The men Of one
idea have wrought nightly. Every ad-
vance has had it's origin in the concep-
ton and restless activity of some indi-
vidual who pursued his object as if it
were the greatest thing in the world
No one ever accomplished much with
out absorbing enthusiasm, or earnestness,
tempered by reason" Emerson re-
peats the plainest truism that every i'm
portant movement is the triumph of that
kind of enthusiasm. Nothing is so con-
tagious as enthusiasm. 1t is the real
allegory of the tales of Orpheus; it moves
stones, it charms brutes. Enthusiasm is
the genius of sincerity, and truth accom-
plishes no victories without it, But it

singular perversity of language en-
thusiasm appears as one of the COM
handing virtues, while the term ZEN

probrious meaning, and is applied to one

in popular acceptance is a well-meaning
but tactless person, who is likely to in
jure his cause by venturing too near the
perilous edge of boredom. 1t must be an
impregnable cause that can be subjected
to such peril without some injury
Tact. or an adaptable manner. is capt.
tai for the merchant, and it lies at the
foundation of all prosperity. 1t smoothes
the way to official preferment. 1t is re-
lated of Wilkes, reputed to be one of
the homeliest men of his time. that he
boastfully declared, I'm winning the
graces of lady therefis not more than
three days difference between me and
the handsomest man in England" Tact
individually plays its part in affairs of the
heart.

and the banks loss to the subtreasury

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Those who take an interest in the gen
eral stock market were of the opinion
that a slight change for the better was
observable today in the conditions that
have prevailed. 1t is also thought that
in the course of the next week or ten
days that there will be q move made
back toward the usual situation in other
cities.
There is one feature that is attracting
attention. and that is the evident interest
on the. part of those who apparently have
the ready cash to know whether the pen
dulum in stock prices has swung down
to the lowest level that will be reached
at this period of depression in values.
1t is probable that men who have
money to invest and who. in fact. some
months ago turned their assets into cash
with the view of buying cheaper later on.
are the greatest pessimists to be found
on the market situation They are thor
oughly convinced that liquidation is not
yet over and that prices are going to be
much lower. and that 1t will take a year
or so to recover from the business de-
preston.
At the same time they are not unwilling
to acknowledge that they are only bid
ing their time to buy while things are
cheap. in order to be able to sell when
the market goes higher There Is also be-
lief that in a short time comparatively
the banks will have so much money that
they won't know what to do with it.
Under these circumstances 1t Is thought
the recovery, which will be going on in
the world of business. will not require a
long time.
Owing to the fact that Sweet & Co..

& Co. of this city. has'e discontinued
their wire" business. Hibbs & Co. have
arranged with Post & Flagg to have the
use of their wire.

England and the Opium War.

From Success Magazine.
1t Is difficult to get an admission even
today from a thorough-going British
trader that opium had anything to do
with the war of 1S4O-43. He is likely to
insist either that the war was caused by
the refusal of Chinese officials to admit
English representatives on terms of
equality. or that 1t was caused by 1.-The
stopping of trade" There was, indeed,
touch Of the naively oriental in the atti-
tude of China. To the Chinese official
mind. China was the greatest of nations,
occupying something like five-sixths of
the huge fat disc called the world. Eng
land, Holland. Spain. France, Portugal
and Japan were small islands crowded
In between the edges of China and the
rim Of the disc. That these small ma
lions should wish to trade with the mid
die kingdom" and to bring tribute to the
son of heaven. was not unnatural. But
that the son of heaven must admit them

lions Of their quaint orientalism, they
boil down to the simple principle that
China recognized no law of earth or
foreign traders. foreign ministers or for
eign religions If she preferred to live by
herself and mind her own business That
China has minded her own business and
does mind her own business is, l think,
indisputable.
The notions which animated the British
were equally simple. Stripped of their
quaint occidental shell of religion and re-
spectability and theories of personal lib
erty, they seem to boil down to about
this-that China was a great undeveloped
market and therefore the trading nations
had right to trade with her willy nilIy,
and any effective attempt to stop this
trade was. in some vague way. an in
fringement of their rights as trading ma

A CHAPTER ON TIPS.
The "Whos" and "Whens" Of the
Practice


To know when and how to tip" has
become part Of the social education Of
every girl and woman.
An inexperienced person is apt to give
too much rather than to give too little,
and this is demoralizing for the servants.
In restaurants the scale Is said to be 10
per cent Of whatever the check may be.
but this is not a hard and fast rule and
should be taken with notifications.
II the check is under s.. 10 per cent
is good system for gauging the waters
tip; that Is to say, 10 cents for 81, and
20 or % cents for 81. This is quite enough
to pay for the service necessary for a
simple meal.
For a check between s. and S. Is or
IS cents is usually enough. but here COM
mon sense must be used. If a luncheon
has been served to- only two persons the
waiter is not entitled to as much as
though four were waited upon. and the
fee is regulated accordingly. 1t always
pays to tip good waiter more literally
than one who is not especially attentive.
indifferent service in restaurant should
mean no tip. 1t may be difficult to walk
away from table without leaving any
thing for the waiter. but, on the other
hand, if he has not given good service to
tip Is paying for what one has not re-
ceived. If any money is given it should
never uc lcSS IMAM ~ cents, even IOF the
most simple luncheon served to one per-
son. Women who put down cents for a
waiter might better keep 1t for car fare.
1t is inadequate.
When it comes to feeling servants in a
private house 1t is almost impossible to
lay down scale. 1t depends much upon
the house, the servants. and also what
they do to receive special tips.
l. one Is simply spending money in a
quiet and unpretentious home where no
personal service is given, l think % cents
Is enough to give the waitress. If, how
ever she has brought hot water to the
room and has shown herself thoughtful
and attentive. 80 cents is none too much.
This. be it understood, is for one person
alone
To tip the cook is not necessary unless
one has been staying some time in the
mouse and for one reason or another has
seen the cook. She is a servant with
Wnom guests are supposed not to come in
contact. and do not as a rule. but If one
has been staying a week it is kind
thing to send cook a remembrance when
leaving.
A dollar to a maid after a visit of a
week Is none too much but If she has not
given personal service 80 cents may be
sufficient. 1t should always be remem-
bered however that when the domestic
staff Is limited fees from guests make
servants more willing to do the extra
work required and simplify things for
the housekeeper
1t Is quite customary to tip coachmen
When sending away carriage that has
been hired. This amount may range from
10 to 80 cents. according to the length of
time one has been out.

heavyweight Kitchen Folks.
From the Indianapolis Star.

from the Indianapolls Star.
1T will do you more good to smell food
that is being cooked than 1t will to eat
1t after 1t is cooked was the astound-
ing statement made by local restaurant
man.
THAT is the reason why so many pro.
fessional cooks are heavyweights. You
never saw any one who became a Chef
and stayed at 1t any length of time but
became fleshy. Cooks never eat to any
great extent. except to taste the food at
times while 1t Is being cooked in order
to see II it is done. 1t is the odor of the
food in the kettles that makes them fat
1.-THE same will apply in the case OF
the housewife. Continuous work in the
kitchen makes fleshy women and healthy
women. Cooking is the healthiest occu-
patton in the world"
