Suggestions to Those Who
Would End it Here.
AN ANNOYING CUSTOM
J.Vc I" Kuiopo Ni lonK'T Volun
tary, but Coinpuliry Ktortlni
by Horvoiita to I'Ue out Their In
sufllrlent Wiik' Attention CRM
to IUxlH-ft HillllT.
A favorlto aiwertlon of those who
benefit In ono way or another from
the tipping nuisance 1b that "If tip
were only regulated by custom hera
m they are abroad" everything
would be lovely. Yet It Is the testi
mony of travellers that tipping U
even more of a nuisance abroad than
here, says the New York Times.
The regulations of tips means
urnctlcally that giving Is no longer
voluntary, but compulsory. One
must constantly fee the attendants to
secure even ordinary attention. In
thulr efforts to extort gratitude
from travellers European servants!
pven go so far ns to mark baggage
as a nlgnal for other attendants to
neglect and lnconvlonrc the tourist
who will not pay. Here aro some of
the experiences of an American who
has travelled much:
"While traveling In Kumlti I pur
chased a first class Beeper ticket.,
which of course entitled mo to h:;d-
rlothlng. but before 1 could secure it
I was Informed by tho porter that
his wages wore very small and ho
would expect extra payment from
nie. IIo even named tho amount,
and I paid It because there was no
other way out of it.
"What would the American travel
ler think If he met with such treat
ment on a Pullman car? Yot It U
not nt all Impossible for things to
come to such a pass In thla country.
As It Is now, a quarter tip to a por
ter, or evun one of half a dollar, doen
not signify that he will carry your
hag out for you when you reach your
destination, because there may bo
Fotno one else on tho car who will
hand him a dollar.
"His attention goes to the highest
bidder. That Is all there la to it.
We have already passed the point
where we may expect equal treat
ment in a matter which is plainly a
public utility.
"While stopping in the best hotel
in St. Petersburg, where tho heat
ing arrangement consisted of Indi
vidual stoves In the rooms, I soon
found that I need expect no fire to
be built In the morning unless I reg
ularly produced some silver for the
porter. I was paying a very high
rate for accommodation, but it
was absolutely necessary to pay each
of the attendants or get practically
no service at all.
"On the same floor with me there
was a gentleman from New York who
had come to Russia to negotiate a
big loan of some kind for an Ameri
can banking house. He had a good
many callers and received quite a
number of telegrams. Not knowing
that it was necessary to pay for each
small service he recolved, there was
soon no response to his bell.
"Then he was told that if he
wanted his telegrams to reach him
promptly be had better remember
that working people in Russia were
very poor and usually large fam
ilies to provide for. The hint was
so broad that it was really in the
nature of a command, and he oboyed
It
"While there are undoubtedly few
managers of American hotels who
would countenaco such a high
handed proceeding as this, it is nev
ertheless true that we are drifting in
that direction. Any one who lives
In our big hotels for any length of
time without tipping the servants
will certainly find himself more or
less neglected.
"When you take a compartment
on a train In India the attendant
merely writes your name on a card
hanging by the door. Until I learned
to get there flrnt and take no chances
by leaving my place, I have had
more than one late comer bribe thu
conductor to substitute his card for
mine. ,
"Once, when I was sick In Hong
kong, China, a number of chair
bearers wore employod o carry mo
to a steamer waiting In the harbor.
Just as the start was about to be
nado a heavy shower came up. ' .
"The coolies had boen engaged to
carry me at their own price, but
knowing my condition and my anx
iety to roach tho utcamor they took
advantage of the situation to extort
more money from mo. They plunked
me down in tho rain and began to
harangue with the porter from tho
hotel who had hired them.
"As tho whistle of the steamer
blew the last call In the harbor be
low I was regaled with the liveliest
kind of fist fight over the quentlo.i of
the violated contract.
"It 1b a pity to think that the
capable, self-respecting, prosperous
American who workB for his llvln;.;
In one form or another may event
ually fall to such a plane, but there
can be no doubt that those of our
workers who consent to take chance
tips for their pay instead of a regu
lar salary will ultimately lone in both
compensation and Belf-respect. In
the long run neither the people who
give tips nor those who receive thorn
benoflt by tho pructico, because em
ployers Btep in and reduce the pay
of their employees, thus making
thttmsolves the actual bonoficlarlea ol
the public's generosity."

A practical and very useful de
vice Is a lueut holdor, the invention
of a Texas man. Almost everybody
is more or less familiar with the
difficulties attending tho carvli:g of
a ham or other large piece of moat.
Tho object of the meat holder shown
In tho Illustration is to overcoiuo
these difficulties and render the car

be readily washed. It la made large
enough to accomodate an ordinary
hum. Along two opposite sides are
BbafU on which are securel a num
ber of pointed clamps. The lattor
are operated by meana of a lever at
the end of one of the shafts. After
the piece of meat haa been placed
on the platter the holders are tightly
clamped In position. The carver Is
thus able to use both hands freely
and out the meat to best advantage.
HANDWRITING OF AUTHORS.
Die ken's Blue Ink and Papi
Byron's Cop and Erasures.
An Interesting study la the hand
writing of authors, as it Indicates to
a greater or lebs degree their per
sonal temperament.
Longfellow wrote a bold, open
backhand, which was the delight of
printers, eaya the Scientific Amcri
can. Joaquin Miller writes such a
bad hand that be often becomes
puzzled over bis own work and the
printer sings the praises of the in
vention of the typewriter.
Charlotte Bronte's writing seemed
to have been traced with a cambric
needle, and Thackeray's writing,
while marvellously neat and preelsot
was so small that the best of eyes
were needed to read it. Likewise the
writing of Capt. Marryat was so
microscopic that when he was inter
rupted In his labors he was obliged
to mark the place where he left off
by sticking a pin In the paper.
Napoleon's was worse than Illegi
ble, and It la sold that his letters
from Germany to the Empress Joso
phlno were at first thought to be
rough maps of the seat of war.
Carlyle wrote a patient, crabbed
and oddly emphalaed hand. Tho
penmanship of Bryant was aggress
ive, well formed and decidedly pleas
ing to the eye; while the chlrography
of Scott, Hunt, Moore and Gray wns
smooth and easy to read but did
not express 'distinct individuality.
Byron's handwriting was nothing
more than a scrawl. His additions
to his proofs frequently exceeded In
volume the original copy, and In one
of his poems, which contained In thu
original only four hundred 11 lies, ono
thousand were added la the proofs.
The writing of Dickens was min
ute, and he had a haUt of writing
with blue ink on blue paper. Fre
quently erasures and interlineations
made his copy a burden to his publishers.
