European Hotels.

Most American travellers on their
first trips on the continent of Europe
are astounded when upon the day Of
their departure from a hotel they are
presented with their bill by the head
waiter instead of by the landlord or
by his chief clerk. But it is the Gus
tom, and this important individual is
thus assured of his tip. But they fret
and fume inwardly as they think of
all the other servants to be tipped
and usually end by giving each one
about three times what he expects.
There are two ways Of avoiding this
worry if they only knew In small no.

day for each person for service and
when going away divide it according
ly among those who have served you.
In larger hotels a more satisfactory
way is to take 10 per cent Of the hotel
bill. whatever it is, add it. to the
amount of the bill and request the
head waiter to divide it among the
servants. Thus is the tipping ques-
ton very much simplifed.-New York

Genesis of the Playhouse.

Thespis in $50 B. c. acted his plays
in a wagon. In 400 B. c., during the
time of Aeschylus. creator of drama.
the performances took place upon tenn
porary wooden scaffolds, one of which,
having collapsed during a representa-
ton, the Athenians were induced tor
build the great theater of Dionysius,
calling it the Lenalon. which was the
first permanent stone structure of it's
kind. 1t required 100 years to erect it.
There was no scenery. but he scene
was decorated so as to represent the
locality in which the action was going
on. Roofess was his structure. but
around the building were porticoes, to
which the people retreated during rain
storms. Sometimes awnings were used
to ward off the suns heat. 1nvari-
ably the actors were males, who wore
masks with mouthpieces. answering
the purpose of speaking trumpets.
Owing to the vastness of the theater
metal vases were placed under the
seats to serve as refectors of sound.
Performances began in the morning
and usually lasted twelve hours.-New

Hanoed and Buried and Lived.

1t is not given to many men to be
hanged and buried and yet be able to
tell the tale. but such was the expert
ence of one John Bartendale. who was
executed at York in 1884 for felony.
After his body had hung for nearly
an hour it was buried. A gentleman
passing by the grave. which had not
been filed up. thought he saw the
earth move. and with the help of his
servant be disinterred the convict. who
was still alive. 1t was the custom in
those days to bury suicides and exc
cuted criminals without any coffin.
The man was carefully treated and
entirely recovered. He became hos

lived a most exemplary life When
