Even this, howevor, is better than throwing a lighted lamp at any one who annoys us! And a satirical remark, politely made, ts preferable as a missile to a fender or a chair. These widely varying methods characterize the extreme ends of the sockal scale, says Mrs. Humphry in the Chicago Tribune. , So far as superficial manners are concerned, those that are taught In the nursery and the schoolroom—that deal with bows and smiles, knives and forks, demeanor in the street and politeness in the home—we are probably as well behaved as ever wé were; but it is In our general conduet that we scem, as a nation, to be deteriorating. However, I lately read the same accusation in a book written one hun dred years ago! Self is the great obsiacle to politeness. and self is always with us. Are we less selfiish, or more, than we were In the days when children called their parents sir and madam. and never spoke to them until spoken to? Every one will agree with me that we are just about the same, and that the change has been naturally brought about by the alterations in social customs. Girls pride themselves on being manly, just as our nice young mothers and our grandmothers before them prided’ themselves on being gentle. feminine creatures. They over- did it. They thought it the correct thing to scream if they saw a mouse and to faint If a finger bled. And our girls overdo the manliness just as our mothers overdid the femininity. Are good manners generally declining? Or is it only here and there that we notice a roughness, and becauee it con- trasts with the rest, acouse the whole? Is it really true that men are less polished, women louder of voice and more self-assertive? We must try to hope, not, and feel com- forted by the recollection that a similar accusation was brought one hundred years ago. THE MEANEST MAN IN NEW YORK. And How He Grappled with the ‘‘ Tipping” System. HE Meanest Man In New York 1s not m New Yorker. He js a Chicagoan, But he boasu of his title, and this is‘how he defended it a little while ago. He came here on a two weeks’ business trip and stopped at a well-known family hotel not far from Union Square. Going up ta the head waiter on the day of his arrival he held before that functionary’s amazed eyes a bill, Tearing it slowly in half, he gave half of {t to the man and put the other half carefully in his own pocket. “I hate to he bothered tipping everybody,” said the Mean- est Man, "so I'll make a deal with you. I want you to see I get the best possible service while I'm here and that every employee treats me like a prince. Then {f I’m satisfled with my treatment I'll give you the other half of this $20 bill the ¢ay I leave, You can paste the halves together and have @ perfectly good bill. ‘Then you can pay the other employees such tips as you think are coming to them and pocket the rest of the $20 for yourself.” ‘The gleam in the head wi much of that $20 would ever two halves pasted together, For the remainder of the two weeks the Meanest Man's stay at that hotel was a dream of joy, Waiters, béllboys, ers eyes Showed just how t past him if he once got the Why is the letter R ike the face of | Size with water.
