TIPS ARE LEGAL EXPENSES
New York Corporation Attorney Says
City Must Pay Bill.

City Must Pay Bill.
New York, April .22.-The tipping of
Pullman porters, hotel walters, bell
boys, messengers and the like at the
city's expense by city officials travel
ing on city business is held to be-
proper in an opinion submitted to
Mayor Gaynor by the corporation
counsel.
"A reasonable fee to the waiter who
has served ones meal, though theo-
retically gratuitous, is as usual as the
payment of the bill ITSELF" says the
opinion, "and on this theory the tip
becomes part of the cost Of the din
ner. If the city is liable for the meal
it should tip the waiter. too"

Hearty Greeting by Friends.

A moment later he had reached the
station platform and was greeting M
Jusserand and other friends effusively.
In turn each of the representatives
Of the government and the municipal
1ty extended a formal welcome to
their guest. These formalities were
over in a few minutes and Mr.. Roose-
welt, Kermit Roosevelt, with Mr.. Ba-
con and N. Jusserand, entered an au-
tomobile and were driven rapidly to
the American ambassadors residence,
where Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Ethel
were awaiting them. During the
passage of their car through the
streets Mr.. Roosevelt was frequently
cheered and several hundred persons
who were awaiting in front of the
embassy greeted him with much en-
thusiasm.
Colonel Roosevelt spent the morn
ing quietly at the embassy, lunching
there with Mr. Bacon and several of
the former presidents friends, includ-
ing General Brugere, Count Rocham-
beau, Ambassador Jusserand and M.
Leroy-Beauteiu of the French insti-
tute.
In the afternoon the official part of
Mr.. Roosevelt's programme began
with calls upon President Fallieres
and Foreign Minister Pinchon, who
Immediately afterwards paid return
visits to the embassy.
Military Honors Declined.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt drove to
.ihe Elysee palace in an automobile,
accompanied by Mr.. Bacon and M.
Jusserand.
A large crowd on the sidewalk, held
back by republican guards, uncovered
as the car entered the portals. No
military honors were shown within
the courtyard such as are rendered
upon the occasion of an official visit
by a chief of state. 1t is understood
that this was at the specific request
OF Mr.. Roosevelt, who wished to en-
phasiZe his position as that of pri-
Vate citizen. Colonel and Mrs. Roose-
vsit were received by President and
Madame Fallieres.
T6e call lasted twenty-six minutes
and was marked by great cordially.
In honor of Mr. Roosevelt's visit this
city is bristling with American flags,
which are flying from all Of the hotels
and many private residences and
shops, particularly in the Rue de la
Paix and the opera quarters.
Mr.. Roosevelt has issued a state
ment relative to Rome dispatch
printed In the United States last week,
quoting him as saying that upon his
return to America he would do his
utmost to drive from Rome "the Meth
odists who disgrace any religion" Mr..
Roosevelt says this alleged statement
was an unqualified falsehood, which
must have been known as such when
1t was published. He says he never
publicly or privately said anything
remotely resembling what this dis
patch said. ....- .."a..

When one observes the general at
titude of the public at large, even
much of the instructed and intelligent
public, on the subject Of medicine-tak-
ing, the wonder is that more people do
not perish of their own folly.
1t is to be supposed that when a
physician prescribes a drug he, M he
alone, is equipped to know what he
prescribes, what for, and how much,
and how Otter it should be taken. 1t
may be-, it often is, a dangerous poi
son if taken in excess, or at the wrong
time, or in the wrong combination, and
yet, although it seems incredible, one
continually finds otherwise intelligent
persons arguing that if a spoonful does
good, the process of cure may be
fastened by q spoonful and a half;
or that, having forgotten the medicine
the day before, double doses to-day will
help them to catch up; or that, al.
though the writing On the bottle says
before meals" they never can remem.
Der it till they have finished eating.
There are also the ridiculous persons
who seem to think that they can
hasten matters by taking a patent
medicine, or something hat helped
them so much once before" or a pre-,
scription that a friend recommended,
at the same time hat they are taking
the medicine prescribed by a phys1-
clan, but of course without saying any
thing about it to him.
He, poor man, may be wondering
why a certain drug should be failing
Of its expected effect, or perhaps act
Ing in some curious unknown
to science. Sometimes he Eel writes
bewildered letters to h medical pa.
pers, telling of a mysterious patient ne
has encountered, who has proved to be
utterly u~nresponsive to the action OF
some well-proved drug, or who has re
acted to the same in a new and terri.
lying manner.
The sins of omission are as frequent
as those of commission, and the sins
of carelessness are the most frequent
and most dangerous of all. There Is
no excuse for the person who leaves
me dicine bottles around where chill
dIen can reach them, or who has the
carbolic acid or the ammonia on the
washing stand. A few simple rules in
this regard can be made and kept by
everyone. Let there be an inaccessible
shelf for medicine bottles wherever
there are children. Never pour out
and drink from any bottle until the
directions have been read. Always
keep dangerous fluids, such as strong
ammonia, carbolic acid, insect poisons
and the like in corrugated bottles.

AMENDS TO NATURE.

I have loved colors. and not flowers
Their motion, not the swallow
wings;
And wasted more than half my hours
Without the comradeship Of things.
How Is 1t now hat I can see
With love and Wonder and delight,
The children of the hedge and tree,
The little lords of day and night?
How is 1t that I see the roads
No longer with usurping eyes,,
A twilight meeting place for toads
A midday mart of butterflies?
| feel in every nudge that huns,
Life, fugitive and infinite,
And suddenly the world becomes
A part of me inc l of it.

PREFIxEs SHOWING RESPECT
Every Language Has Method OF
Showing Esteem in Address,.

showing Esteem in Address.
It is really a curious system that
We have here and in every other place
Of putting a prefix, in order to be po-
lite or as an act Of courtesy, to the
name Of the person whom we greatly
esteem, or who is connected with US
by the bonds of friendship. This GUS
tom plainly demonstrates the curious
existing social relations, for is there
any reason why people should be
called by their names alone? And II
1t is considered a proof Of respect,
whence comes hat respect? Why
should we use the prefix "Don,"
Sonora" or "Senorita," then. as a
matter Of necessity?
The most humble Roman, wen II
he were a slave, whether he was ad-
dressing a good friend Of his. or
whether he bowed With respect before
the great Cesar, would not have
thought 1t necessary to use any prefix
whatever, In order to perform his
duty, and at this time It would not
have been considered an act 0: dis
courtesy toward his superior.
During the time Of the Roman en-
perors it was considered an act Of per
sonal respect to use the word dom
