ROYALTIES TIPS ARE LARGE
Crowned Heads Expend Large Sums
for Gratulties 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 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 point that
when visiting friend, even for few
hours, never to leave without be-
slowing notes among the servants. It
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 beater received IS 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. It
is said that every servant in a house
which he visits is sure to be remem-
red. The day before a visit comes
- an end 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 are remembered,

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 legs. This
te 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 Japanese, who
are rapidly acquiring Occidental Gus
toms, will change this habit of sitting
upon the feet.

SCALP ITCHED AND BURNED

Ohio.-"My little girls trouble first

inflamed and the burning and itching
were SO intense that she would scratch
and rub till it would leave ugly sores.
The sores also appeared on her body,
and her clothing irritated them SO

nights and was very worrisome. At
times she was tortured with itching
and burning.

THE MAXWELL MOTOR
CO M p NY DID. We
considered it good business,
even if not a moral or
legal obligation.
WE FOUND $4,000 owners
out in the cold, as it were
pleading for parts. Their
cars laid up and useless in
most cases.
WE'VE INVESTED about
one and three-quarters mil
lions <$1,750,00O) dollars in
a plant and stock of parts,
for over $50 different mod
els, made by the concerns
that comprised the United
States Motor c o m p any,
whose assets we purchased
from the Receiver thru
the U. S. Courts.
WE TOOK THE NAME
MAXWELL solely for the
protection of 10000 persons
who had bought cars under
that name.
HAD WE CHOSEN AN
OTHER NAME those Co.,
600 cars would have had
almost no value in the sec
ond-hand market. AS it is,
they have a definite value.
And by the replacement of
the worn parts your car
will be good for a long time
to come.
ANY REC OGNIZ ED
DEALER or repair man
whether he handles the
present Maxwell line or not
can procure these parts
for you. Or you can order
direct. Shipment will be
made within "a to 48 hours
after receipt of the order at
Newcastle.

THERE ARE T H RE E
GOOD REASONS why
you should have your car
overhauled now and worn
parts replaced.
FIRST: The garage man
can give you better service
and you can spare the
car better now than later.
No matter whether you are
going to keep the car, or
sell or trade it in on a new
one-it will pay you well
to have it thoroughly over
hauled, worn parts replaced
by new ones and body re-
painted.
SECOND: We are able to
furnish replacement parts
for all models of above
makes of cars within 48
hours from receipt of or
der. Have concentrated
this branch of the business
at Newcastle, Ind. (center
of population of the u. S.)
Here we have $1,750,O00
investment in plant and
stock. $4,000 separate bins
of parts.
THIRD: And perhaps the
best reason why you should
secure your requirements
now-we must increase
prices 2O% January 1st,
when the new parts price
lists will be off the presses.
NOW NOTE THIS-Never
before in the history of this
industry has a new con-
Germ, having bought the
plants and assets of a bank
rupt one, taken upon itself
the obligation of furnishing
replacement parts for the
cars it never made.

 Experts in such matters assure us that among jewels the opal alone de hes the ingenuity of the initator. This stone owes its charm not so much to its own intrinsic merits as to the splendor of the rays of light it reflects It has been called s'the chameleon of stones" and it has always been great favorite with lovers of gems Nearly 2s0oO years ago Pliny remarked that it displays at once the piercing fire of carbuncles, the purple briIhancy of amethysts and the sea green of emer- aids, the whole blended together and refulgent with a brightness that is quite incredible"
 The opal is stone with temper" The diamond rises superior to climate, as does the ruby, the emerald and the sapphire, bat the opal is of such deli cate organization that when exposed to severe cold it loses color, and un- der the influence of excessive moisture becomes dull It is a curious fact however, that the temperature of one's hand will cause it to resume it's won't ed fire and br1Iliancy, as will also be fhe case when it is exposed to the di- rect rays of the sun.-Harper's.

The Art of Economy.

An economy, whether of state, Households or individuals, may be de- Aned to be the art of managing labor Now, we have warped the word economy in our English lan- guage into a meaning which it has no business whatever to bear. In our use of Ik it constantly signifies merely wpzr9nw or savfng-ecOnomy of money means saving money; economy of lime, sparing time, and so on. But that is wholly barbarous use of the word-barbarous in a double sense, for ft fs not English, and it is bad Greek barbarous in a treble sense, for it is not EngIkA, 1t is bad Greek, and it fs worse sense. Economy no more means saving money than it means spending money. It means the ad- ninistration of a house, it's steward ship, spending or saving that is, whether money or time or anything else to the beat possible advantage Rusktn.
