ROYALTIES TIPS AR LARGE

When a man begins to grumble at
the tipping habit in New York, says
the Times, he should thank his stars
he does not belong to the nobility.
The sums paid out by royalty In tip
ping servants while on visit would
support several families for a year.
For instance, the late King Edwards
tipping bills ran into the thousands
each year. He made 1t a point that
when visiting friend, even for few
hours, never to leave without be-
slowing notes among the servants. 1t
is said that when he visited for the
weekend he seldom left less than
$1,000 to be distributed as tips.
When the king went to a shooting
party each beaten received SIS and the
head keeper $25 or more, according
to the duration of the visit. The
kaiser is said to be the most liberal
Upper among royalty of Europe. 1t
is said that every servant in a house
which he visits is sure to be remem-
bered. The day before visit comes
to an end secretary hands the chief
steward an envelope containing tho
amount to be distributed, and he
makes sure each servant receives his
allotted share. Even the employees

No Increase in Workers.

Jefferson City.--A delegation repre-
senting wholesale dealers and manu-
facturers of harness and saddlery and
retail dealers throughout the state has
filed a protest with penitentiary in
spectors against any increase in the
number of convicts to be worked by
saddlery company in the Missouri
prison.
This company began the manufac-
ture of harness in the prison some
years ago with a contract calling for
the employment of IL men. That
number has been increased to 4S and
the company now is asking to make
another contract calling for 100.
Objection to the proposed increase,
the delegation told the board, was
based on the injustice that would be
done to one of the most important in
dustries in Missouri If big harness
factory were permitted to be estab-
lished in the prison.
Convict.made harness and saddles,
they said, were marketed through the
mail-order houses and it was a COM
petition that could not be met by the
outside manufacturers and retail
dealers.
They asked the board not to con-
tract with the company for an in
crease of men.

To Take over jefferson city Line.

JefferLon City.--An important deal
will be consummated when the Mcs
Kinley interurban system takes over
the property and franchises of the
Jefferson City Bridge and Transit
company.
The deal has been pending several
months, but its completion was do
layed to permit the local company to
amend it's charter so 1t can build and
operate trolley lines In Galloway,
Boone and other counties north of the
river.
The property of the Jefferson City
Bridge and Transit company includes
the highway and trolley bridge across
the Missouri river, valued at more
than quarter Of a million dollars; a
trolley line three miles in length, con-
Meeting jefferson City with the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas and the Chi
cago & Alton railways north of the
river, and several miles Of street rail-
way in operation in Jefferson City.
The franchises involved are increas.
ing steadily in value.
The first move of the syndicate, 1t
is said, will be the extension of the
jefferson City trolley line to both Co.
lumbia and Mexico.
Plans for these extensions have
been approved by the public service
commission. The Mckinley syndicate
acquired the Jefferson City light and
heating plant some time ago.

Why Japs Are Understood.

Every one is eager to add to his
fund of information concerning the
Japanese, and there are not many lay
men who can tell why the Japs are
understood. Japanese surgeons have
made measurements Of their army,
which show that the smallness of the
stature is due entirely to the almost
dwarfed condition of the legs. This
'is no doubt due to the fact that from
childhood the Japanese practices an
unnatural way of sitting upon the legs.
When a Japanese child is old enough
to sit upon the floor his legs are bent
under him. This in time dwarfs the
growth of the limbs. Actual deform-
ity is less common among the peas
ants than among students, merchants
and others of sedentary habits. There
is no doubt the coming Japanse, who
are rapidly acquiring Occidental Gus
toms, will change this habit of sitting
upon the feet.

MISSOURI I've Stock Holds own.

Jefferson City.--Live stock to the
value of S12S,207,197 was marketed
during the year 1912 by the ia coun.
ties CT Missouri, according to advance
information from the 1913 Red Book
OF the bureau of labor statistics.
To give a more definite idea OF what
the shipments consisted Of, there
were 1,197,6 32 head of cattle and
calves, valued at S55,3S1 500; 3,525,192
head of hogs, valued at $44,064, 800;
156,690 head of horses and mules, val
ued at $19,5s6,250; 1,2O1,75o head Of
sheep and lambs, valued at SS,402, 250;
1911 head of goats, valued at $780,.
1877, and 500 jacks and stations, val
ued at $656,00O
Every county of Missouri made
shipments of live stock. The figures
do not include live stock sold locally
and slaughtered. II is figured that
two-fifths of the cattle and hogs of
the counties were shipped out and
onefifth sold locally, leaving two
fifths remaining on the farms.
A scarcity of cattle caused falling
off in the quantity shipped, the year
1912 compared with 1911. There was,
however, a gain in the number of
horses and mules marketed. There
was also a gain In the quantity of
sheep and goats marketed over 1911.
1t took 102,365 freight cars to haul
this vast array of live stock TO .the
market
Buchanan county carried off the
honor of having shipped the most cat
tie to market, the amount being 65.-
S72 head. Clinton county comes next
with 1921 head and Newton third
with 32,320. In the shipment of hogs
Nodaway county led with 1856
head. Cass county came second with
12S,S25 head and Bates county third
with 92,454. Schuyler county shipped
out 1858 head OF sheep and Clay
county 41,395 head. Shelby county led
in the shipment of goats, sending 1000
head to market. Monroe county was
second with 1910 and Howell county
third with LIPS. Newton county mar
keted $50 head of jacks and stations,
Boone 40 and Pettis 49, Schuyler
shipped out $3.50 head of horses and
mules, Holt county 1929. Green, Bu-
chanan, Pettis and Audrain shipped
over 1900 head of horses and mules
each.
