Tiie word "tip" originated in the old English coffee houses. At the door nt these coffee houses was a box made usually of brass, with a lock and key. It had engraved upon it the letters "T. I p." (observed the stops between thelletters"To) —"To Insure Promptness.' Customers, as they passed out dropped a coin in for the waiter. Hence the word "tip." Chicago bears the eminent distinc tion of being the greatest focal point for railroads in the world. There are 24 trunk-lines, besides numerous small roads, centering there, witn a total mileage of 120,000, or 59 per cent, of the railroad mileage of the United Slates. Nineteen hundred trains ar rive and depart every day from the dif ferent stations. Austria has succeeded in raising tho wind by enforcing cleanliness upon its people. Under a penalty of SSO Aus tria demands that every householder *hall have his chimney swept by the government sweep at least once a month for fear of age. She found the measure most lucrative, as she charged a tax of 4" cents for every chimney cleansed. Numerous as are the members of Ihe Smith family, they do not occupy as prominent a place in European di rectories as they do in those of Eng land or at home, though they take up much room in the Berlin directory, five thousand Schmidts being regis tered. They have to give room, how ever, to the Schultzes and Mullers. In Brussels the Jansen family is the most numerously represented, while the greater space in the Paris directory is given over to the Martinets. A reward of $25 cash is being paid by the New York State Cancer labora tory for small animals —mice, rats, guinea pigs or rabbits —with cancers. These animals are required for experi mental purposes, and any specimen proved to have a case of cancer will call for the amount specified. A cir cular to this effect has been issued by the cancer laboratory of the empire state, and distributed among the prom inent dealers in this sort of stock throughout the country. As a conse quence all sorts of diseased animals have been sent to the institution. The largest diamond ever found was recently unearthed in the Premier mine, in the Transvaal. South Africa. It was discovered by Fred Wells, su perintendent of the mine. He saw it glistening in the wall of the excava tion and dug it out with a pocket knife. The stone weighs 3,024% carats (about Ipounds); its general di mensions are 4x2' ,xl l - inches, and it forms a good-sized handful for the average man. It is the purest cf all the big diamonds in existence, "water white" and having no defects. Its commercial value is variously tsi! mated at from $5,000,000 tip. An idea] scheme to protect his check from forgery is one peculiar to A. M Griffon, a Plainfield, N. J., merchant. Every check that Mr. Griffen writes he signs in the usual business way, hut, in addition, he moistens his riglr thumb with red ink and presses it down upon the figures in the corner of the check. This covers the figures ■with a light coating of ink, which leaves the imprint of the lines of the thumb clearly outlined, and no figures can be raised without the fact being apparent. No two thumbs in the world ■will leave the same imprint. "The native Africans are among the most, interesting people in the world," sayß Mr. George \V. Ellis, United States charge d'affaires at Monravia, Liberia, in a recent report, "and the varied and natural wealth of their country is unsurpassed. The indica tions are that, they will for some time yei almost wholly possess West Africa. They thrive along the west coast, in millions. Though armed like war riors. they are lovers of peace; they have Iheir peculiar civilization, and th'y :ue rich in wives, buUocks and slaves, captured in intertribal wars."
