ROYALTIES TIPS ARE LARGE
Crowned Heads Expend Large Sums
for G~ratultles to Those Who
Have Served Them.

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 a visit would
support several families for a year.
For instance, the late King Edwards
tipping bills ran into the thousands
each year. He made it a point that
when visiting a friend. even for a 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 S. 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 a visit comes
to an end a secretary hands the chief
steward an envelope containing the
amount to be distributed and he
makes sure each servant receives his
allotted share. Even the employees
of the stable r remembered.

Agricultural Fact.

Poisons excreted by past crops and
left behind in the soil to depress the
growth of succeeding crops of the
same kind have been reported, and be-
lieved in, by agricultural experts.
Their theory is disproved by work con.
Quoted at the great Rothamsted exper-
imental station in England, and pre-
scented in the transactions of the Royal
society of London by Alfred D. Hall,
F. r. S., and his assistants, Winifred
E. Brenchley and Lillian Marion I'm

THRIFTY CITIES OF ENGLAND
Municipalities Make Use Of Natural
Advantages, and Thereby Taxes
Are Lessened.

Glasgow sets a splendid example
Of thrift and enterprise to her sister
cities and towns Of Great Britain.
She does not even scorn to collect
end sell her waste paper and to traf-
lie 4 scrap iron, thus adding many
Huldreds a year to her exchequer.
Her cleansing department does bust
ness with half the. counties Of Scot
land. She owns nearly 1000 railway
wagons, and does a wide range OF
business, from bog-reciaiming to mar
ket gardening and butchers work.
Manchester takes a good second
place with an annual profit of, rough
ly, 100000. She does an excellent
trade in soap, oil and tallow, and 9TH
er allied goods of her W manufac-
ture, and employs about 1000 men In
making mortar on a large scale; her
cleansing department is the largest In
the kingdom, and she makes all kinds
Of implements, wagons, brushes and
machines, while she has converted
hundreds Of acres of marshland into
an agricultural paradise.
Halifax makes a substantial profit,
to the relief of the rates, from a large
quarry which supplies the stone for
the paving of her streets; and Mac
clesfield Is the owner Of two such quar-
ries.
Leeds makes such goodly profits
from her municipal water, gas and
tramways that her highway rate is
but half what 1t would be otherwise;
while she has spent more than two
million pounds in practically rebuild
ing the whole Of the central part OF
the city.
Southfield Is the fortunate owner
Of a pier whose tolls. amounting to
$4,000 and more a year, pay her ed
vocational bill; and Yarmouth not only
has a similar incorporating pier, but
she earns a good income from her in
exhaustible supplies Of mud, i~nvalua-
BILE for making Roman cement, and
from her mines of single, which Is
in large demand by water companies
for fltering purposes.

Washington. Jan. 26.-Although the

up at the approaching extra session

cong, essioaal committees are rapidly
pushing their preliminary work to !
noint Nhsre recommendations can be

laid before him for the early work OF
his administration.
Work on tariff bills will soon De

the same commit, Will push It's in
yestigation. this week in other
branches OF the currency question in
the effort to secure comparative sug-
gestions for currency reform,
Senate and house leaders do not
yet know what legislation if any, in
addition to the work Of the tariff
revision, will be taken up at the eX-
ira session: Several who have talked
with Gov. Wilson express the conf
dent belief that the currency question
and the question of liberating the
Philippines will be included in the
new presidents scheme Of action for
his first congressional session.
it is the general opinion in demo-
cratic circles in Washington that
President Wilson will at least not
"foreclosa" congress against acting
on everything but the tariff in spec
ial session. A majority of the dem
ocrats in the senate expect little leg
islation outside the tariff to be taken
up, but they believe President Wilson
in calling the extra session will not
specifically limit its work.
WeuN Postpone Currency Legislation
An effort is under way by some
democratic senators to postpone ac-
tion in the currency matter until the
next regular session and it is expected
a movement will be promoted to secure
an extension of the present Aldr1ch
Vreeland emergency currency law for
at least a year, so that an emergency
measure will still be at hand in case
of industrial or financial disturbances
Under this plan no attempt will be
made to legislate on currency reforms
until next winter.
Factional Appointments Fight.
The full extent OF the fight be-
tween the Republican and Democratic
factions in the senate over President
Taftis appointments is expected to
develop this week. A Republican
caucus, the first of the session will
probably be held in the early part of
the week.
The house will devote l;s fine tbs
week to the consideration Of appro-
priation bills and by the end os the
week it is expected that several oiG
supply measures will be ready for the
consideration of the senate.
