that the ladies who have seen them

Whom the Tip Helps.

Did you ever wonder why sleeping
car companions tolerate tipping?
There's reason. 1t was disclosed
the other day, In lawsuit in New
York court in which a sleeping.car
porter was forced to testify as to tho
wages paid him. He declared that the
company employing him paid him only
$50 a month, and that the tips he col
lected amounted to about SIS month
on the average. In other words, the
sleeping car company pays its EN-.
ploycs only one-fourtt of their wages
and compels tho travelling public to
pay the other three.fourths. When
you tip the porter; remember thas you
are not really tipping him, but the
sleeplng-car company. Every time
you tip the porter you are adding to
the size of the, company's dividends,
already swellcd beyond a reasonable
return upon the actual capital invest
cd. II the sleeping-car companies en-
ploy 10000 portcrs and the public
pays $500 of the annual wages of each.
IT is contributing annually 100000
to the companies, in itself enough to
pay per cent. on s15o.UOO,OcO. 10 =ay
nothing on the profit the companies
collect in their high prices for sleep
ing-car accommodations. If the com
panies made no other profit, the tips
It forces from the public would be
enough. Tripping is outrageous, but
save your indignation for the compa-
MES behind the porter and do not
vent 1t all on him. Your tips SO to the
companies and they. count on them as
part, of their profits.-Haverhill Ga.

Large Ships Here to Stay.

Popular Mechanics.
Notwithstanding the beneficial CT
fccts which many receive from a sea
voyage, making the slow boats de.
sirable for that reason. there is no
doubt that the passenger steamer from
this time on will be the large, fast
boat. The IMMUNITY from rolling and
pitching, which is scarcely noticed
on a chip like the "Mauretania,"
where tho 20,OOO-ton or less vessel
would experience rough passage, put
a positive premium on tho big boats.
Then, aside from these passengers
who are naturally poor sailors, are
tho constantly increasing numbers
who cross once or more year on
business, and TO whom time and com.
fort are essential features. For tray.
el, the big ship will eventually super.
scde the smaller one, as fast US they
are retired, although tho cost in
weight and fuel consumption makes
it unlikely that any substantial low.
ering of speed is to be expected.

lAlIFoNso AND The VATICAN.

The religious turmoil in Spain is
not a struggle between Protestants
and Catholics but fight to divorce
the church and state. Nearly the
whole OF the population OF Spain is
Catholic but millions are not satisfied
J with conditions and are, in revolt
4 against the domination of the church
in political affairs and the expense to
the people Of maintaining by taxation
the clergy and providing costly places
Of worship.
The politico-religious condition of
Spain is thus summarized in the
statesman's Yearbook:
.The national Church of Spain is
the Roman Catholic, and the whole
population Of the kingdom adhere to
that faith, except about 10000, Pro-
testants tabout 10000, Jews (about
5000 Rationalists, etc. Within the
Peninsula, apart from Portugal, there
are 8 metropolitan secs and Al suf-
iragan secs, the chief being Toleda,
whose archbishop bears likewise the
title Of Patriarch oflthe West Indies.
Z The Constitution requires the nation
to support the clergy and the build
ings, etc, of the church, and for this
purpose the State expends annually
about 100000 pesctas (SS,2OO,OOO).
The relation between the Church and
the State, and tho position OF the re.

The number of religious orders in

for men and 1855 are for women. or
those for men, 294 are devoted to edu,

The total number OF monks is about
