SCALE FOR TIPPING
Walters Considering Plan to Regulate
Fee on Orders Below and
Above rs Cents.

Berlin.-The Berlin Waters asso-
citation Is considering a proposal to fix
q scale for tipping. All orders under
Is cents are to be tipped at the rate
of. IL per cent. orders for more than
Is cents at the rate Of ten per cent.
This proposal 3 being discussed edi.
torially. and every one agrees that the
tipping system Is carried to oppressive
lengths. either through the unwilling.
ness Of q part OF the public, to appear
unartistic. and through the shrinking
Of the other half from getting into ,un.
pleasant controversies with servants
over q mark or two. The National
Zeitung sees no hope for the public
except to endure.
Various Incidents are related Of
walters assailing- customers in brutal
language for giving small tips, and in
some instances, they have created
scenes by throwing the tips across the
room, and humiliating the Upper.
The suggestion has been made tina,
the police regulate the whole ques
ton.

PASSING OF THE TRAPPER.
Settlers Are Encroaching Upon Him
Even In Hudson Bay Country.
J the Kenuebec Journal

from the hen0eBec Journal.
The forward march of civilization has
reached the wilds of the Canadian north
and trappers report that their business
is rapidly becoming Improbable on ac-
count of the frequency of the settlements
That state of affairs is to be expected.
and the wonder is that the situation has
not become more acute long ago. 1t is
remarkable that the business has con-
tinued profitable.
History has repeated itself in this as
I'm all other things. The advance guard
or civilization was years behind a class
or hardy trappers who earned their live
lihood In the solitude of the forests by
taking animals for their furs AS civili-
cation advanced the number of trappers
became larger and the amount of game
diminished, until there was no longer Il
profit to be had from the business.
II began with Maine and Massachusetts,
and continued to the westward until the
United States was no longer tenable for
the trapper. The Hudson Bay Company
preserved the frozen north of Canada
for half century after the United
States had ceased to be a profitable
hunting ground but the onward march
of the railroads and the ever restless
wave Of homeseekers have at last ad-
vanced to the very outposts Of the Hud-
son bay territory. Gold and wheat have
been the lodestones. and the trapping
business suffers.
Where will we get our furs in the
future? We will raise them. Fur farm
ing, skull farming, cat farming and the
hundred and one other kinds of animal
raising will take the place of the trap
per and his gun. Other fur-bearing ami
mails will soon be taught to eat out
OF the hand of man just as the domestic
animals of the farm have been doing
for centuries. Man will simply enlarge
his control of the lower animals. en-
large his control over the fur-bearing as
well as the food-bearing animals.

LONDON STIR OVER A PICTURE
PROTEST AGAINST PROPOSED
PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION.
Charge That Somebody Is Working
for Big Profit on a Hol-
bein Canvas,

LONDON. May S.-A lively campaign
has been started by section of the press
against the suggested public subscription
for the purchase of Holbein's Chris
tiana of Denmark" which the Duke of
Norfolk has just sold to an art dealer.
with an option that the nation NAV pur-
chase 1t within month.
Well known artists and exnerts are
warmly denouncing certain letters which
have appeared in the newspapers "as an
attempt 10 exploit public sentimentality
TO further cool and calculating business
proposition
Inc consensus of opinion seems to be
that the picture Is not worth anything
like the S3JO,OOO demanded for 1t. This
sum, which is about double the highest
figure previously paid for any Holbefn.
apparently represents a profit of $4,000
for some one, as the Duke of Norfolk sold
the canvas for $3O5. ZOO.
Similar Tactics Several Years Aeo.
The storm Of Controversy which RACED
several years ago when the public was
induced to subscribe $225,OOO for the pur-
chase of the Velasquez Venus and
Cupid by the report that the picture
was In danger of being taken out Of the
country. has been revived, as exactly the
same tactics are being pursued in the
present instance
we are now familiar with that mys-
terious anonymous American millionaire
who is waiting to snap up these national
treasures" writes one critic. when the
public was induced to purchase the We
lasquez Venus doubling Thomases made
effort discover /,

present occasion the public appears un-
likely to take much hand in the deal
