Some of them turn trans- lators and yon may see their signs all over Paris. They undertake to trans- late almost anything from any of halfa dozen European languages. In this capacity they are wretchedly paid, and only a very proud man or avery poor waiter would consent to change the latter's employment for that of a trans- lator. Many of these polyglot waiters have come to the United States, and they have brought with them their notion as to their natural right to receive tips. A naturahzed American, unschooled in the ways of fashionable restaurants at home and abroad, cannot easily under- stand the attitude of the professional waiter toward the tip. Tipper and tipped in Europe view the tip ina dif- ferent fashion from that of the un-Eu- ropeanized American. Somebody has said that it is safe to tip any Briton below the dignity of a bishop, but an American traveling in England found that it was well to draw the line as low asadean. Mistaking one of the latter dignitaries for some- thing less than he was the American fumbled for a shilling after having re- ceived some courtesies at his hands, but paused when he saw his guide's face flush and took the hastily-prof- fered advice to put his coin in the poor box. The colored waiter unspoiled by con~+ tact with great cities or summer resorts accepts a tip with a gratitude that makes the donor feel that it is more blessed to give than to receive. The European waiter's attitude toward the tip is as much beyond that of the un- spoiled colored man as the hovering tenderness, the respectful yet sym- pathetic and half-familiar interest of the latter toward the person he serves is beyond the compass of the profession- al European waiter. The one receives a tip as his simple -due, the other a cepts it as a gracious act of generosity The Parisian waiter especially re- gards the tips asa right. He not only knows exactly what to expect but he does not hesitate to remind a guest who scants the fee thatsomething is yet due. The iron rule of Paris is one sou to the franc, or five per cent. of the price charged for the meal. In some fashion- able restaurants there is a minimum of one france, but in ordinary restaurants the waiter who serves a two-frane din- ner expects two sous and no more. Insome English inns the custom has gone beyond this. The guest finds upon his bill a charge of five per cent. for “service,” and is still expected to tip the waiter. These details are slowly taking form in Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Chicago and a few other cities. Time was when a malignant waiter went un- feed, but now the fee has become so much a hard and fast rule that any neg- lect not serious enough to justify an ap- peal to the head waiter is entirely overlooked. The minimum fee is higher in American cities than abroad, perhaps in part because all labor is better paid here than in Europe, and again because the tipping system is still something less than a matter of course here, and some persons omit the fee. The hard and fast rule of percentage is gradually fixing itself upon the restaurants of large cities and ostentatiously large tips have disappeared or are disappearing. It has long been literally true that head waiters demand a share in the tips of their subordinates and that all waiters are paid low wages at fashionable res- taurants because they are expected to live on tips. Women waiters find that they re- ceive comparatively few tips from men, just as male waiters dread the appear- ance of an unescorted woman in a res- taurant. Gallantry makes an American hesitate to tip a woman, as he hesitates to yield his traveling bag to be carried on the shoulders of a slender girl up the sleep, rocky stairs of Capri. Some men who visit restaurants where the waiters are women have hit on the scheme of tipping in a lump at Christ- mas, and doing it very quietly. One feature of the tipping custom has thus far made small progress in the United States—that of leaving a gratui- | ty under one’s final plate after dinner at the house of a friend. A young man at areception at an interior city con- fessed, however, that in order to be served by professional waiters hired for the occasion guests found it necessray to tip. Queer Mail Service. ‘The dromedary parcel post service in | the German territories of southwestern Africa has given results better than was expected. The droreedaries are adapted to the climate, are not affected by the prevalent cattle diseases, are not made footsore in stony regions and do not suffer extreme thirst when deprived of water for a week. They travel, each carrying a weight of two hundred and fifty pounds, as fast as an ox team.

Less than forty-five per cent. of the coal con- tained in the thicker beds is sent to market, the balance bern wasted. NEW NOMENCLATURE. ene million and two Work of the United States Geographic Names. ‘The United States board on geograph- ie names has made its report, and if its spelling of the names of familiar local- ities near Detroit and Michigan is a fair example, those who were educated in the grammar schools of this city may expect to have their knowledge turned endwise into a useless incumbrance, the Detroit Free Press. © Pointe is now Grossepoint; St. 's river drops the apostrophe, like- ckett’s Harbor and all other names in which the apostrophe has hitherto been used; Conner’s Creek is now Conners Creek Flat; Boone, in Wexford county, is spelled Boon; the Duck islands now known as Duck island; drops the “e.” Beard on Greene The board says spelling and pronunci- ation tha sanctioned by local usage should be adopted, and then proceeds todo just the opposite. It lays down the following rules: “It is desirable to avoid the use of the words city and town as parts of names. “In the ease of names consisting of more than one werd, it is desirable to combine them into one word. “The use of hyphens in connecting parts of names showd be discontinued. “Names ending im ‘borough’ showld be abbreviated to ‘boro.’ “In names ending in ‘burgh,’ the final ‘h’ should be dropped. “The possessive form should be avajd- ed whenever it can be done without de- stroying the euphony of the name or changing its deseriptive application.” Sut Uncle Sam and his employes are the only ones who will pay any attention to this sort of word and letter juggling, for tbe changes are to appear only in government publications. The board was composed of ten men, graduates of West Point and Annapolis, and they have rigged up a list of changes in nomenclature that will astonish every- body and hurt nobody. A Time-Serving Dog. A resident of West Cheste’ thority for the following “dog story,” as it was recited to him by a soldier: “Troop F of the Sixth cavalry owned a dog which accompanied it on every trip. At the battle of Wounded Knee some time ago the animal was abarfdoned and was found in a snowdrift by a ser- geant of I troop, who took it away and eared for it. The animal could not be persuaded to return to its former own- ers and remained with the sergeant. One day the sergeant was reduced to the ranks for some breach of iscipline. From that day forth the dog would have nothing whatever to do with him and took up its quarters in another tent. It could never again be persuaded to re- turn to the sergeant. evidently consider- ing a reduced man as far beneath its notice.” Pa., isau- A Huge Freight Car. What is claimed to be the largest freight car ever built was turned out at Altoona, Pa., a few days ago. It is to earry the one hundred and twenty-four- ton cannon Krupp is making for ex- hibition at Chicago from Baltimore to Chicago. The car is practically two ears, with eight pairs of wheels each, jointed together and made into one by an iron bridge. Another car of almost equal size is building to transport two sixty-five-ton guns anda big piece of armor plate over the same route. House of Nero. The most famous of ancient houses was the Golden house, erected by Nero. Its whole interior is said to have been covered with gold and gems, it was adorned with the finest paintings and statues that the world could furnish, it had triple porticos a mile in length and acircular banquet hall which perpetu- ally revolved in imitation of the motion j of the sun. require commences Conservative estimates | o place the ntity al lest by beir left in the gre rs at fort per cent. of the quantity originally | present The cost of mining and preparing DE ADLY FOG. ; England’s Death Rata Augmented by It.

The London fog ean at any time be banished by law, just as the same sort of fog has been’ suppressed in Pitts- burgh and other American cities. The same statute which dissipates the Lon- don fog will bring another great boon to the metropolis. It will give it com- fortably heated homes in winter. The million or two great tires of bituminous | coal make the London fog and nothing else. ly a newspaper timidly suggests that the use of anthracite coal in stoves and furnaces would banish the nuisance, but an i nd ad- mission of the impracticability of the suggestion always goes with it. Ex- perts have reeently reported that there is sufficient anthracite coal in Wales to supply all Britain for several genera- tions. The death rate in London will have to go away above the epidemic point before an Englishman will give up his soft coal fires. Influenza of a mild type is again re- ported from various parts of the coun- try, but the Lancet, the chief medical organ, gives the comforting as- surance that there is nothing at all ap- proaching the visitation of past years nor is the disease likely to become so severe and extensive again for a genera- tion. On the other hand, smallpox has broken out in an alarming manner in many la towns and typhoid fever has assumed an almost epidemic form in London. Its chief victims so far have been found among the upper classes, who, in this metropolis, at any rate, live amidst hygienic conditions which may be said to be almost ideal. But, for all that, the earl of Londes- borough, Lord Halbridge and several other peer: ve been prostrated by the dreaded disease and there is reason to believe that typhoid rages in a large number of west end houses unknown tothe general public. Various causes have been assigned for this state of things, but the one most popular among the masses, who cannot afford pheasants and grouse and that sort of thing, is that the aristocrats catch typhoid fever through eating putrid game. fumes of sulphur. smoke. ‘There has be as HEAVY TAXES IN ROME. Levying of an Unwontea Family Tax Raises Discontent. The British consul in Rome, referring in arecent report on the condition of that city to its financial position, men- tions the levy of an impost called ‘‘tassa di famiglia,” or family tax. This, ac- cording to the New York Post, is one of the taxes which all italian communes are authorized by law to levy, but which until the present time had never been resorted to in Rome. The general law on this subject has fixed one hundred dollars as the highest amount chargeable on a family, where- as, in Rome, asalso in other chief towns of Italy, the necessary power was ob- tained to raise the maximum figure to £80. This tax has caused great discon- tent, chiefly on account of its nature, as it is inquisitorial, and is imposed in pro- | portion to the presumed income or wel- fare of each family. There are forty- two different classes of taxpayers. Those having a minimum income of , four hundred dollars a year are taxed | at the lowest rate of two dollars, and |; those having a maximum income of | twenty thousand dollars or more the highest, four hundred dollars. This tax is expected to yield about two hun- dred thousand dollars a year. Foreign families who have not their permanent residence in Rome, and who do not own real property or who exer- cise any profession and have no car- riages, although they may have rented unfurnished apartments for a number of years, have not been included on the rolls of this tax. London Drinking Water. Prof. Frankland, in his report just issued, speaks unfavorably of the con- dition of water when taken for con- sumption in London during November, says the London Public Opinion. He says that on November 23 the Thames at Hampton was chemically in an even worse condition than on October 17, | though bacterially it was considerably | i better. The water was very turbid and brown. but was in every case except | one efficiently filtered before delivery. } The unfiltered water, taken chiefly | from the Lea by the New River com- pany, was, on November 23, both chem- ically and bacterially in an unusually | bad condition. Compared with the | sample taken in the previous month, it contained more than twice as much organic matter and more than four} times as many microbes.
