To Legalize Tipping.

While ~praiseworthy attempts are
being made in London to minimize the
tipping system, a movement has been
started in Berlin to make the custom
compulsory. The cafe walters in the
kaiser's capital have formed them
selves into a union with the object of
legalizing tipping. They have drawn
up a scale of tips and passed resolu-
lions to enforce it. If the order a GUS
toner gives in a restaurant amounts to
three shillings he will be expected to
tip the waiter to the tune of IL per
cent. If the order is over three shil-
lings the "kellner" will be content
with a tip of 10 per cent. In the lar
ger restaurants the waiter will be sat
isfied with a modest 8 per cent. tip
if the bill amounts to G5. The restau-
rant keepers protest against this tariff
of tips, which they consider will inter-
fere with their business, but the wait
ers refuse to give way.-The Throne.

AS a Japanese Sees us.

In talking to a Japanese of high
standing and culture who was in this
country on governmental business the
impression we make upon an oriental
was finally extracted.
After evading a long time and pay
ing compliments, commenting
on our energy and commercial enter
prise, he finally confessed that the
two most striking characteristics
seemed to him to be bad manners and
bad taste.
No one remains long in our land
without learning that our bad man
ners are but the result of overfilling
the hours with activity and that they
hide a generosity, a real kindness of
heart, that it would be difficult to du-
plicate elsewhere in the world; but
the bad taste is undoubtedly here

Wreaths of Roses.

DR.. Frederick A. Cook wore a wreath
Of roses during his triumphal entry
into New York harbor. The young
Brooklyn woman who presented him
with it meant we'll enough, but, strict
ly speaking, the rose wreath is not tri-
umphal in significance. Roman gen.
tlemen used to wear it only on con-
vivial occasions. 1t was a descend
ant of the original wooden fllet, tied
tightly around the head, with a view
to mitigating the effect of intoxica-
ton. AS luxury grew, mere wool
seemed paltry, and all sorts of flow
ers which had the reputation of be-
ing anti-intoxicants were substituted,
roses being esteemed the choicest.
But it was an offense punishable with
Imprisonment to be seen in the street
with the wreath of roses on.

REMARKABLE LIFE OF CRIME
Spanish Bandit Has Record It
Would Indeed Be Hard to
Eclipse.

The boldest and most dangerous of
Spanish bandits, Jose Tisaira, has
been captured at Algeciras. The his
tory OF this criminal is remarkable.
Twenty years ago he killed a priest at
Palau and burnt the corpse. For this
he was condemned to death, but was
pardoned while on his way to execu-
ton. He was transported to the
prison at Ceuta, but soon effected his
escape. Then for some time he lived
among the Moors, but so numerous
were his de%predations that he was
forced to fly. Shortly after he fell
into the hands of the Spanish authori-
Ties, but succeeded in escaping a sec
ond time, though in so doing he was
severely wounded. His next step was
to 1ngratiate himself with the Moor
ish bandit Valiente, but his desperate
robberies and crimes eclipsed those
OF that bloodthirsty ruffian. Valiente
eca jealous Of Tisaira, and sent
him to Tangier, where he engaged
himself to an agriculturist in a large
way. Soon the bandit had %plundered
" ouCu Oil SAI6uI IudI
the latter denounced him to the au-
thorities, and he had to take refuge
in flight. Tisaira's next scene of op-
erations was Guadalajara, where he
met a former dissolute companion.
The two quarreled, and Tisaira killed
his old friend with a couple of revol-
yer shots. The police arrested him
and were conveying him to Madrid by
train when he jumped from the car
riage, and badly injured himself in
the fall. He managed, however, to
break his chains and drag himself to
Corona. After this recovery he be-
gan a series Of robberies-in n case
raiding a tax Office and getting away
with $15, 0O0-but he again fell into
the hands of the police. He was
taken to Ceuta, but last July he
made his fourth escape.

MEAT EATING AFFEcTs SHOES;
How the Spread of Vegetarianism
May Considerably Boost the
Price Of Footwear.

There are six really big shoe fac
tories in the United States. These
turned out 1000, 900 pairs of shoes
last year. Shoes to the value of $10,-
100000 were sent aboard, and the re-
mainder, valued at $4,000 900, were
used in this country. Although the
trade in rubbers increases every year,
only $4,000, 900 was spent for such
things last year.
We are told that the preaching of
vegetarianism interiors greatly with
the shoe business. Last year Germans
took a notion to eat less meat and, &C
cording to the Bookkeeper, the shoe
kaiser were in despair. 1t is neces-
sary to sell a great deal of meat in
order that hides may be obtained
without loss
This is another instance of the need
of cooperation between manufacture
ers of all kinds. Unless Swift and
Armour and the other packers are
able to sell their goods the factories
in the east must do with less leather.
When the factories are forced to get
along with less leather the world must
get along with fewer shoes, and must
also pay a higher price for those it
does buy.
1t is interesting to know that the
foreign shoe trade is constantly in.
creasing. American statesmen are en-.
tering Darkest Africa and inducing the
natives to court bunions and corns by
departing from their good custom OF
going barefoot.

OIL LAKE IN MEXICAN GULF
Believed to Be Fed from Deposits
That Feed the Oil Fields Of
Texas.

Reports from ship captains entering
Galveston tell of a great and grow
ing lake out in the gulf which is evil
IDENTIFY fed from oil deposits feeding
the oil fields of Texas. While it is
known this oil lake, situated about 100
miles southeast of Galveston, has ex-
listed for several years, it is only re-
Gently that it has begun to spread out
and is now reported to be more than
n mile in diameter, while another
ship captain said the surface of the
water was covered with bubbling oil
as far as their eyes could see.
The latest report is from Capt. Net
terton of the British steamship Come
dian, just in from Liverpool. He re-
ports the oil bubbling from three dis
tinct jets in the gulf and says the oil
deposit is thickening and spreading
at a rapid rate. At this point the
gulf is 5,400 feet, or owe a mile deep,
and a tremendous pressure is required
to force this heavy oil through this
then shoot it out in three streams.
A survey of the chart of the Gull
and the oil fields shows that the lake
in the Gulf is in a direct line with
the strata of oil from which the east
Texas fields are supplied.
Whether the recent hurricane
ploughing through the Gulf, has pune
tured the oil strata, or whether the
release of this immense quantity OF
| oil is due to a subterranean earth
quake or disruption is not known
| Some experts incline to the opinion
that a terrific explosion in the bed Of
the Gulf is responsible for this tap
ping of the oil in the bowels of the
earth.

New InsuIator.

(, A substitute for gutta percha, eb-

sulators has been invented by DR.
Bakeland, president of the American
Electro-Chemical society, from which
it takes the name "bakelite." 1t is pro.
duced through the condensation of for.
maldehyde and phenol. 1t is said to be
an electric insulator of the first rank,
insoluble in all ordinary dissolvents
and not melting at high temperatures.
In chemical constitution 1t closely re-

A Spell of Bad Weather.

A more depressing weather forecast
than that offered by Prof. Bruckner of
Vienna it is impossible to imagine. Ac-
cording to him we need hope for
nothing much until 1920, so we might
as we'll be prepared for the worst.
His theory is that there is only a
good spell of weather once in 16 years.
That being over we get a correspond
ing period when low temperatures,
cold winds, heavy rains and other me-
neurological horrors prevail. During
the 16 years every year varies a lit
tie in character, but summing them up
it will be found that most + good
or bad, as the case may be.-Lady's
