ANTi.TrPPlNG LEGISLATION.

The Wisconsin Legislature has
passed stringent anti-tipping bill
It applies to employees in nearly
all public places and makes the re-
ceiving Of tips a criminal offence.
It also penalties the employers Of
underpaid servants. ~ 49,.
Kentucky is enforcing law which
makes it crime to- give or receive
a tip. Bills patterned after. the
Kentucky statute are now pending
in both houses of the Iowa Legisla-
ture, and will probably pass in some
form before, the close of the present
session. I'll " ...
Tipping tends to debase labor; and
if for no other reason, it should
be outlawed on that account.

High Tribute Paid
Southern Soldiers,

The New York Sun relates the
following as sample of the gal
la ntry and courtesy of the Con-

In the latter part of June, 1868,
when the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia was in Pennsylvania, its
commander in-chief, Gen. h.
Z. Lee, at Cham bersburg, in his
historic proclamation, among
other things, said:
Any officer or private in the
Army of Northern Virginia who
insults woman or destro S
property will be shot,.
A few days before the battle
of Gettysburg my grandmother
was walking outside of York on
the pike leading from that town
10 Gettysburg. 1t was a bea uti-
full Sunday morning, and she
stood beside the roadway gazing
out over the daisied fields, wlitr
suddenly she was reused from
her reverie by the clatter of
hoofs upon the pike. Turning
around she belleld bat a short
distance from her General Jolr
u. Gordon and his staff at til.
head o. their brigade, which wa
part of Farly's division o.

State Superintendent of Schools
Asks For An Increased Ap-
preparation of $4,000, 1000.

Mr.. Stearns, the State Superin-
tendent of Schools has asked for an
increased appropriation for the pub
lie schools of Virginia of So, 000,0 600,
one-half to be paid by the State
and one-half by the Counties. but
all to be paid by the people.
There has been an increased cost
of the public schools from year to
year. There is an impression, we
are not prepared to say whether il
is correct, that the Improvement OF
the schools has not been in proper
ton to the increased cost. The
people base their opinions upon thi:
subject by the conduct of the
schools, in their immediate neigh
borhoods.
In Woodstock, for instance, tn,
tax upon property has been increas
ed to $l.20 on the hundred dollars
The appropriation to the publ
schools has been liberal. How
much more we would be required
to pay, if the Legislature would in
cease the school apDronriatie
snree million dollars is only mat
ter of conjecture. We certainlr
would find out when we shall t,
called upon to pay nextyear's taxes
The public schools should b.
literally supported, but the sam
economy should be exercised as in
dividuals are compelled to use il

Poisoning by AeropIane varnisb.

The enormously increased produc-
ton OF aeroplanes during the war
lends point to warning regarding the
varnish employed. At the aeroplane
works in Johannisthal a number of
workmen employed in the vanishing
department were taken seriously i'll
and two deaths resulted. The most
important symptom was jaundice due
to decomposition of the blood. On
investigation the cause was found to
be poisoning by tetrachlorethane. the
only solvent known for the highly
combustible acetyicellulose. These &C.
cidents led to an order forbidding the
use OF solvents containing high Der.
