TRAVELLING WITHOUT TIPS.
German Hotel Keeper Puts His The
 ory Into Practice.

German Hotel Keeper Puts His The
 ory Into Practice.
 Herr Grauer, wealthy German ho- tel proprietor, has carried out an ex- pertinent with amusing results on the tipping custom, says the London Mall. He had a theory that all hotel em. ployes should be paid living wage, and that tipping should be abolished in hotels
 So he started, accompanied by his wife and daughter (the Lausanne core spondent writes) on three weeks tour of the chief German and Swiss hotels, | determined not to spend a sou on tips, in order to test his opinions.
 One weeks experience of the conse- quences was enough for his wife and daughter, who returned home disap- pointed and indignant with Herr Grau- CT for the discomfort and insults to which he had led them. Mysterious hieroglyphlcs and secret | signs-known only to hotel employees announced the arrival of the Grauers- tue uOll-llpptlS ut lLC faliOAS iS7 sorts they visited. The result was al ways the same-nobody seemed to want them.
 At the stations they were told thal the particular hotel where they wished to stay was full the hotel omnibus was merely waiting for a few old ell ents to depart" When they insisted on entering the omnibus there was nobody to carry their luggage, and railway porters had to be employed and paid. Arriving at the hotel. their heavy bag gage was unceremoniously thrown on the ground and the boxes were dam. aged.
 The maid took half an hour to an- swer the bell, and the hot water, when It did arrive, was cold. At table d'hote the Grauers were always served with the last portion. The concierge did not know" of any interesting trips in the neighborhood, and was gen erally busy" when they descended to the hall. Complaints to the manager were futile.
 Herr Grauer, who persevered with his three weeks tour to its unpleasant end, sums up his experiences as h. cluding the following:
 Lost three trains; luggage unable to be found.
 Had four pairs of boots, two being new, ruined cause unknown"
 Two suits of clothes, one dress, three blouses mysteriously contracted ink stains.
 Herr Grauer now believes that tip ping Is a necessary evil, with a still long life.

HOW MEXICAN DISHES ARE MADE
Chile Pepper and Garlic Enter Large
 Iy Into old spanish Recipes.

In the preparation of nearly all Mexican or Spanish dishes the chief l ingredient is the indispensable chile pepper, says the Denver Times. This pepper cah be obtained at nearly all large grocery stores. However, there is chile powder preparation which Is almost as good as the pepper, much less difficult to use and not so expen- siye. The peppers are dried when l bought Before they can be used they must be boiled in water for ten min utes. The skin and seeds then may be easily removed, for only the inside pulp is used. Mexicans flavor their sauces and meats with a garlic, but an onion may be substituted when there Is an objection to the garlic flavor. Here are some of the most noted Mexican dishes, with genuine recipes for their preparation:
 Prepare any fish suitable for baking in the usual manner and stuff 1t with potato dressing, seasoned with a small amount of garlic. When the fish is nearly cooked. pour over 1t sauce made of two cups of chopped ripe to- matoes. a tablespoonful of butter, salt to taste, and the pulp of two chile peppers.
 Melt a tablespoonful of butter In a chafing dish. When well heated add a tablespoonful of Mexican pepper pulp, half tablespoonful of mustard and little salt To this add half pound of cheese cut in small pieces. When the cheese Is melted stir in slowly three or four tablespoonfuls of milk, and then add one beaten egg. The mixture should be stirred constantly while cooking. When sufficiently thickened. serve on small squares of toasted bread.
 Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan or chafng dish. Chop fine the meat of two or three tomatoes and a green pepper and season with a half spoonful of salt and the pulp of one chile pepper. Place this in the frying pan or chaflng dish and add two beat en eggs; fry until the eggs are solid and serve while hot
 Two pounds of raw beef chopped fine, one small onion or clove or garlic chopped fine, two tomatoes strained, tablespoonful of chile powder or chile pepper pulp. Fry the meat, tomatoes and chopped onion or garlic with two tablespoonfuls of suet until cooked through. Then place in stew ket- tie with about a quart of water and boil one-half hour. To this may be added a pint of Mexican beans which have been soaked over night and boil ed very tender. Salt to taste. Mexi- cans do not cook the chile con carne and beans together. but serve them usually in the same dish. American

Is directly responsible for the prejudice even grown people feel for their fathers second wife.
 Cinderella" Is the most popular and widely known of the "stepmother stories. It has done incalculable harm by implanting false views In the child mind, yet its charms are so great it will never be barred from the nursery. Stepmothers are a much-maligned race. It is too much to expect every stepmother to be an angel. That would be as ridiculous as to expect eyery no ther to be ideal, every daughter sweet and unselfish and devoted to her par slts.
 No matter how harsh and cruel and short-sighted a mother may be, she never incurs the public condemnation meted out so generously to the woman who attempts to mother another wom- ans children.
 Surely the most difficult vocation in life Is to be a wise, careful, strong stepmother, Nothing but a great love could lead a woman to put herself in such an anomalous position. She must be wise to comprehend instincts and emotions the child itself does not un- derstand; careful not to infringe It's rights in the slightest degree; strong enough to live her own life and take her own place in the household without cringing to anyone, even the first wife's relatives.
 The mother who speaks disparagingly of stepmothers before her children makes a great mistake. The children l for whom she would sacrifice life Itself If necessary may come under step mothers rule at some future time.
 Visits to "grandma's' frequently un- do all the patient stepmother has ac- complished toward winning the little stepdaughter's affection. She returns moody, disrespectful and inclined to pout Here Is where the stepmother, if she be a woman of good judgment, will wield the "big stick" and forbid visits to people who persist in poisoning the chlld's mind.
 Of course, the neighbors will con- demn her, and all the dead mothers l family, to the distant third cousins, will unite in forming an anvil chorus, nut they would do that in any case.
 The woman who brings up family of children not her own. without rob- bng them of their fathers affection or real estate, and without causing per manent arrangements, has accom- pished life work of which she may be proud. She need not fear the gos- sips Such stepmother Is home mis- sionary in the fullest meaning of the yord.eCincinnati Post.

 Put a cupful of dried rice Into a hot frying pan containing a table spoonful of olive oil. Roast the rice until well brown, but not scorched. Add to this four or five finely chopped tomatoes, a little salt and two table spoonfuls of Mexican or chile pepper pulp. Pour in a cupful of boiling wa ter and let simmer until the rice is soft,

Short Suggestions.

To cover the pan In which fish Is cooking will make the flesh soft.
 All lard to fry fritters and doughnuts must be very, very hot before putting n the batter.
 Black lead mixed with vinegar will be found to give a specially good polish to the kitchen stove.
 Rub over new tinware with lard aId thoroughly heat it in the oven before using 1t, for thus it is protected from rust.
 If, when using lemon for favoring, you need only half one, put the other half on a plate and cover with d glass 1 tumber. This excludes the air and pre- vents it from drying up or getting moldy.
 When cleaning knives add a little carbonate of soda to the bathbrick on the board, for then they will polish much quicker.
 A neglected grate, or one which has been red hot, should be rubbed over with cut raw potato before it is black leaded. The result will be a brilliant polish.
 Ink stains on silver or plated articles may be removed with a paste made of chloride of lime and water. This should be left on for little while and then washed off in warm water.

1t looks now as II a thorny
path confronts the postal saw
ings bank bill. When Senator
Carter secured a special order to
take up this measure it is said
he had pledges Of sufficient votes
to'pass the bill in the senate. The
situation seems to have changed
and at present it is doubtful
whether Senator Carter can rally
anywhere near the required
number. In fact, it is stated
that he will fall short a dozen
votes on the Republican side.
This change of front has been
brought about by Investigations
conducted abroad by members Of
the National Monetary Com.
mission, who reported adversely
to the establishment of postal
savings banks.
Several members are now on
record in favor of the govern
ment keeping out of the bank
business rather than engaging in
this new policy.
Chairman Aldrich is ready tC
take a positive stand against the
passage of the bill and will have
the support Of a large number
Of senators because of the OPP,
position of small banker:
throughout the country. The
position is taken that these small
banks in many instances woulC
be driven out of business by the
postal banks, and in view Of the
strong opposition arising the
prospect is that no vote will bC
obtained on the postal saving:
bank bill at any day in the i'm
mediate future.

The one feature Of the Christ
mastide that cannot be overdone
is the giving Of comfort to the
needy. Sometimes it appears
that the custom of exchanging
gifts has its questionable side,
in the increasing demands upon
slender purses and the cultiva-
ton of a spirit of mendicancy in
servitors. These matters, how
ever, regulate themselves, and
probably little harm is done by
the swelling of the spirit Of gen.
crosby at this holy time. But
the relief Of the poor and un-
fortunate is blessed work that
can never work injury to him
who gives.

One of the most noticeable
things among the unemployed is
the rapidity with which they
age. The more delicately adjust
ed a piece of machinery is, the
quicker it rusts out and goes to
ruin when not running.
When the mind is not health
fully employed and constantly
exercised it ruins itself very
quickly. There are many in
stances in history where great
men, when deprived Of liberty,
when their employment was
taken away from them, very
quickly went to pieces. They
were unable to sustain the
shock.
Statistics show that great men,
tai workers are, as a rule, long
lived. Activity is conducive to
longevity.
There is nothing like having
plenty Of work, something to
look forward to constantly,
something to plan for, think for,
live for. There is nothing more
fatal to growth and normal liv-
ing than the monotony which
comes from mental inaction,
nothing more fatal to growth
than stagnation.
There are a great many semi
invalids in this country today
who could probably be cured by
the right kind of work, menta
or physical, because they are in
