tumorous department. The Land of Tips. "As?to the tip system abroad," said a Detroiter, who has traveled all over Europe, "it isn't so bad outside of Switzerland. There every outsider is expected to come down with a tip to everybody connected with the hotel, and some fAu'n nfflpiflls AS well. I was passed along the lines as a sott mark, and at Chamounl, when I got ready to leave the territory, a last grab was made at me. I had feed the chambermaid, the waiter, the porter, the bootblack, the cook, the omnibus driver, the mail carrier and all the bell boys, when the landlord approached and intimated that he had been left out in the cold. " 'But I was your guest,' I protested. " 'That is true,' he replied, 'but if you will remember, I received you with three distinct bows, where only one is required by custom. It is two bows extra, monsieur." "I paid 10 cents apiece for the extra bows, and was stopped by a little old man who introduced himself as the coroner of the canton. ' " But where do you come in?' I asked. "Had monsieur met with a fatal fall on the mountains, I should have held the inquest,' he replied. "I gave him a franc for not holding an inquest on me, and his clerk then stepped forward and said: " 'And had there been an Inquest I should have had the pleasure of writing to monsieur's relatives that he was dead.' "I handed him the same amount for his loss of pleasure," continued the tourist, "and then asked if there was anybody else else in Chamouni who had a claim on me. " 'The police have not arrested you,' suggested the landlord. " 'All right?here's a tip for them. Anybody else?' " 'My watchman did not let the hotel take Are.' " 'All right again.' " 'And my wife, monsieur.' " 'Well, what of your wife?' " 'She has presented me with a son during your stay in my house.' " 'And what have I got to do with that?' " 'Why, monsieur, is it not worth a little fee to you that she did not present me with two sons at the same time?' "I thought* it was and left a franc for her, and then, as they could think of nothing else, I went down and tipped all the railway officials and finally got out of the country."?Detroit Free Press. A Thrilling Adventure.?A number of war worn, fever stricken convalescents were gathered round the fire retailing to each other their most thrilling experiences, says Tit Bits. "The tighest corner I was ever in," said Sergeant Botts, "was when one evening, just about dusk, I came upon four or five of the enemy at close quarters; in fact I was cleverly ambushed, and before I had realized my position they opened fire. Single handed and weaponless, I had no chance of making a fight for it, so I took to my heels and bolted for all I was worth. Very soon a well-aimed shot strucfc me in the shoulder, a minute more and I staggered with one in the back, another struck me in the neck, while a fourth"? "Chuck it, Bill," interrupted a brother sergeant, "you were never punctured by bullets to that extent, I know, or"? "Who said anything about bullets?" retorted the other. "I am speaking of being snowballed on Hampstead Heath". Divided the Remedy.?The Philadelphia Record tells of a physician of that city who was called to see an old Irishman and his wife, down wun colds. He advised quinine and whisky as an antidote. "You must both take it," he said. "Take it every three hours?two grains of quinine and a swallow of whisky." The next day he called again. The man was up and about, but his wife was in bed. "Did you follow my instructions?" asked the doctor. "To the letther," replied the husband. "How much quinine have you left?" was the next question. "Sure, Oi t'ink she have taken th' whole av it," said the man. "And didn't you take it, too?" asked the doctor. "Divil th' bit," was the reply. "Begorrah, it kept me busy takin' th' whisky every toime she took a pill, an' sure she's in bed and Oi'm up." Mrs. Martin's Opportunity.?Mr. Martin was talking at the dinner table, in his usual clever manner, about the inconsistency of women. "These young ladies who protest that they are never going to marry!" he broke out. "Everybody knows that they will belie their own words at the very first opportunity." He paused, and evidently hoped that Mrs. Martin would come to the rescue of her sex; but that discreet women held her tongue. "Why, Mary," he continued, "you remember how it was with yourself. I have heard you say more times than once that you wouldn't marry the best man alive." "Well, I didn't," said Mrs. Martin.?

Some of Them Not So Parsimonious an Has Been Supposed?How They Live In the Cities. It is the general impression among Americans that the Chinese in this country are parsimonious. This is not the case. The Chinese have earned enormous amounts of money, to be sure, but they have also spent largely. Their savings may be estimated as not more than 10 per cent, of what they earn, which Is very often permanently Invested In this country, and does not go to China. Laborers seldom save anything, and this is as true of the Chinese as of other nationalities. In the first place, the Chinanlan is usually charged more for what he buys than any one else, and, again, he is inclined I to be a spendthrift when he can. He is an epicure in his own way. He is also fond of silk clothes and expensive shoes. Very often he is a gambler. The actual needs of the Chinaman are greater in this country than in China. The climate in the Kwang-tung provinces is so mild that all he requires at home is a thin cotton blouse and trousers, and two extra garments for winter. His hat is of roughly plaited straw, and he wears straw sandals. In this country he must wear woolen underclothing, a felt hat, and leather boots, if a laborer. His boots in America cost four or five times as much as his whole outfit in China. The food bought by the Chinese is often quite as expensive as that of the whites. Instead of living almost altogether on rice and chop suey, as is the general impression, Chinamen, being quite as fond of meats as Americans, buy pork, beef, and chickens. Chop suey is made to sell to curious white persons who visit Chinatown. In the vicinity of every large city where there "" nnlnnv is any tunsiucrauic v/utn^b , there are truck gardens devoted to raising vegetables exclusively for Chinamen from seed brought from their native lands. These vegetables are unknown to Americans. But the Chinese also consume large quantities of the finer kinds of American vegetables. The Chinaman has a sweet tooth also; and in the best Chinese restaurants in San Francisco, New York, Chicago, and other large cities, the best of wines are served to Chinese as well as American customers, together with the finest and most expensive foods. In the average Chinese restaurant in those cities good board can be had by the Chinese for from $15 to $20 a month, and these restaurants are largely patronized. As a rule, the Chinamen are compelled to lodge in mean quarters; but in New York and San Francisco there are a number of well appointed homes, occupied by the families of well-to-do Chinese merchants, which the American seldom or never sees. In New York there is no apartment-house, up-todate in every respect, occupied by Chinese families. The Chinaman sticks as closely as he can to the traditions and customs of his country, which are strange to the Occidental, and, therefore. a subject for comment and often for derision. There are not many rich Chinamen in America; but some of them are very well off, with fortunes ranging from $100,000 to $500,000. There is one multimillionaire, Chin Tan Sup, who is the richest Chinaman in the country. Chin Tan Sup owns whole towns, and employs hundreds of white men and women in his factories and canneries. He owns ranches, city real estate, gold mines, and diamonds; he conducts a real estate business, and he has several merchandise stores in San Francisco. He is a self-made man and very shrewd and progressive. He came to America in the steerage as a lad, and went to work in a kitchen. He married a white woman, and with their savings originated a "little lottery" busi ness in San Francisco. He was largely patronized by Americans, and soon grew rich enough to become a merchant also. From this beginning he developed into a commercial and political power. He is called "Big Jim," on account of his size. He is six feet tall, and a well proportioned, good looking man. In business he is regarded as the sou! of honor. His wardrobe is magnificent, and several valets are needed to care for it.?Sunyowe Ping, in The Forum. A HISTORY OF MOUNT VERNON. Facts About Washington's Home Compiled by Judge James B. Seller. The report of the Virginia Board of Visitors to Mount Vernon for 1901, as compiled by Judge James B. Sener, a member of the board, presents in compact form the entire history of the beautiful estate on the Potomac which came into George Washington's possession before he was 21 and remained his home until he died there, just 102 years ago on December 14, last. The chain of title to the estate from the time of the original grant to its passing into the possession of the Ladies' Mount Vernon association of the Union. is presented in an extract from the writings of the late Dr. J. M. Toner, of Washington, who at the time of his death was one of the association's advisory members. The estate, until taken over by the association was always in the hands of the Washington family from the date of the grant of Lord Culpeper in 1670, to John Washington, the great grandfather of President Washington. The original grant was of 5,000 acres to John Washington and Nicholas Spencer. Soon after there was a division of the estate into two parcels of 2,500 acres each, the part between Dogue Run and Little Hunting Creek falling to John Washington. It included the site of the present Mount Vernon mansion and was known as the Hunting Creek plantation. Upon the death of John Washington the estate passed by devise to John's son. Lawrence. This was in January, 1677. On the death of Lawrence the estate passed to Lawrence's son Augustine, the father of the great George. Augustine left the estate by will to his oldest son. Major Lawrence Washington, who was half brother to George and 14 years his senior. Notwithstanding the fact that they were only half brothers and notwithstanding the disparity In their ages, there was between Lawrence and George the warmest brotherly affection. Lawrence was a progressive far-seeing man, active in business and in public life. He was interested in the manufacture of iron, both in Virginia and Maryland, and at the time of his death was president of the Ohio company, of which he was one of the originators. He served several terms in the house of Burgesses and was adjutant-general, with the rank of major, of the Northern District of Virginia. It was he who named the estate Mount Vernon in honor of the English admiral, Edward Vernon, under whom he had served in the war against Spain. Lawrence aiea in xoz uiiu mo ?cmains rest in the Mount Vernon vault near those of George Washington. His will provided that in the event of the death of his child Sarah without issue, to whom the estate was bequested, it was to go to his "beloved brother George." Sarah died soon after her father and thus it was that Mount Vernon became forever associated with the illustrious name of George Washington. George Washington bequeathed the estate to his nephew, Judge Bushrod Washington, to take effect on the death of Martha, George Washington's wife, who died May 21, 1802, in the room immediately over the one in which her husband had passed away less than three years before. Bushrod Washington in turn bequeathed the estate to his nephew, John A. Washington, who died in 1832, leaving Mount Vernon to his third child, John A. Washington, who became of age in 1831 and lived at Mount Vernon until April 6, 1858, when 200 acres of the estate, including the mansion, the tomb and the wharf passed to the Ladies' Association on payment of $200,000. Speculators had repeatedly tried to get hold of the estate prior to that, offering much larger sums for it. In 1887 the late Jay Gould brought 33J acres that had belonged to the original Mount Vernon estate paying $2,500 for it and transfering it for the sum of $1 that day to the Mount Vernon association. Judge Sener's exhaustive report, which is highly commended by Governor Tyler, of Virginia in his last annual message, gives, in addition to the minute history of the estate, the entire legislative history of the Ladies' Association, its constitution and bylaws, the opinion?concurred in by At torney General Montague?of J. Randolph Tucker as to the legal status of the association, a sketch of the life of the first association regent, Ann Pamela Cuningham, and the Interesting incidents connected with the formation of the associaiton and Mrs. Cuningham's lonely residence of many years at Mount Vernon?in a word about everything that laborious research could get together concerning the Washington family, Mount Vernon and the patriotic association that has Mount Vernon in charge, the whole being illustrated with portraits and maps of much historical value. HANDLING REVOLVERS. A Secret Service Man Tells About Olil-Tline and Modern Weapons. "The longer a man carries a revolver the more careful he will be with it," remarked Secret Service Officer Thomas E. Halls recently. I have carried a revolver about 32 years. For one thing, I make it a rule never to fool with a pistol at all. I never point it toward myself or anybody else, even though I know it to be unloaded. "I believe there has been as much change in revolvers in the last 30 years as in everything else I know of. Shortly after the war, when I was in the government service, the weapon that I carried, which was supposed to be the best in use at that time, was a Colt's revolver. It was a six-shooter and loaded with powder and ball from the front of the cylinder. The bullets were round pieces of lead and they had to be pressed close on to the powder by means of a hinged ramrod that was set in the under side of the barrel. The other end of the cylinder was furnished with nipples on which percussion caps were placed. Those revolvers had long rifle barrels, and except for the fact that they were very susceptible to dampness, they were admirable weapons. "One reason for the fine shooting that could be done with a Colt's revolver was the length of the barrel and the size of the handle, which gave the hand a firm grip on the weapon. The tendency since then has been to shorten the barrel and decrease the size of the grip so as to make the revolver easy to carry and these changes have detracted greatly from the weapon's usefulness. The demand seemed to be for a gun which should have a large calibre and short barrel, to be heavily charged. The consequence was that the heaviness of the charge and the weight of the bullet produced a big recoil, which could not be prevented on account of the short handle. "Say," ejaculated the secret service officer suddenly, "did you ever reflect on the reason why so many shots that are fired with deadly intent fail of result? I'll tell you why it is. You see, the average man, when he flies into a passion and wants to shoot somebody, whips out a pistol, flourishes it around in the air and then brings it down to a level with his opponent's head and fires it, thinking doubtless that the head is the best place at which to aim. Then the defects which I have mentioned. get in their work and the recoil elevates the revolver above the would-be victim's head, and the bullet sans merrily into me ?Ky ur enmib, clothe case may be. "Now, that is all wrong. The head is the smallest part of the body, and, of course, presents the poorest target. The best place to shoot a man to put him out of action and the place where you are surest to strike him?where, in fact, you can scarcely miss?is the lower part of the body in the region of the stomach. Instead of nourishing a revolver around in the air and bringing it down, the way to do it is to quietly draw the weapon from the pocket, drop it toward the ground, theni make an upward motion with the| weapon, catching a line upon the ground or floor up your opponent's leg, stopping at the stomach, where there is little or no protection against a pistol ball and the chances of recovery from a wound are small. Here you have a whole vital region of the body in range. If you happen to shoot a little higher than you intend you are pretty certain to strike a vital spot and disable your opponent, and if you Bhoot lower?say in the groin?you have him in about as bad shape. In handling a revolver in this manner, you get rid of the unnecessary downward motion. Another advantage Is that the movement can be executed so quickly and easily that it catches a man off his guard. He does not have time to prepare himself for the attack. "A good revolver, handled with care, will, of course, last for years, but where a man carries it constantly, es ' - "? " 1 ?1 J - ? *1? ??#> 11 wao rl on/1 peciauy u ne nuts on mc iamuau horseback very much, there is a tendency for the barrel of the weapon to become loose in the hinge just in front of the cylinder, and this detracts somewhat from the accuracy of the shooting. As soon as I find my pistol in this shape I lay it aside and get a new one. "My favorite weapon has always been the kind that has a blue barrel, and this for several reasons, the first being that with a nickel or silverplated revolver the sunlight reflected from the shiny barrel gets in one's eyes and interferes with the correctness of his aim. Then, at night, a man often desires to protect himself without advertising the fact that he is carrying a revolver, and he could not do this very well with a weapon that gave off a glitter whenever the light fell upon It. "Among the Improvements that have been made in revolvers," continued Captain Halls, "are the loading of shells with smokeless powder and the discarding of the hammer. The latest patterns of revolvers are not only selfcocking, but hammerless as well, and, in addition, they have a safety device which prevents the weapon being discharged by any accident, such as dropping on the floor, or ground. "A revolver is a very dangerous weapon," said the officer in a musing tone, "but I would rather face a revolver any time than a knife in the hands of an enraged man. A knife in such a situation is the most dangerous of all weapons and the hardest to guard against."?Indianapolis Journal. TOO MUCH MONEY. Tronhlen of Two Brothers Who Had f]0,inni in iHM 11, AUUUI Inciu. "My brother and I were buying cattle in the Gallitan valley, about years ago," said Jack Harris, of Fort Fenton, recently, "and as the farmers in that section were partly Missourians and had to be "showed," and partly because they had been victimized sc often, they refused to take checks. As & result we had to carry our money in $10 and $20-bills. We started out with $l.r>,000 in cash in a saddlebag hung over the horn of q^y brother's saddle. Nothing ever worried my brother, bul I was a nervous fellow, and felt thai all I had in the world was in that saddlebag, and I ought to lie awake nights to watch it. "I remember one night we camped ir a deserted cabin in the mountains, and my brother hung the bag on a big wooden peg over the flreplace. "The next morning the horses had broken picket and were gone. I told my brother to watch the money and ] would go out and trail down the horses Well, I walked over one hill and ther j another, and after several hours 1 saw them away over on a distanl prairie. It was afternoon when I overJ took them and started back with them. Five or six miles from camp I met mj brother, who had started out to find me. I thought of the money the first thing and asked him what he did with it before I left. 'Oh, nothing,' he replied, 'I left it on the peg.' Now, remember that there are all kinds ol men camped in that grulch. It seemec like a thousand miles back to the cabin, and when I reached there I was almost afraid to go in for fear of nol finding the bags. But sure enough there they were, and all of my worry was for nothing. "But this was only the beginning ol my troubles. My brother and I divided, and I took about $10,000 with me The first day after I left my brothei out on the prairie I saw a runaway horse attached to a light buggy. A man in the buggy was so frightened that he lost his nerve and jumped. His head struck a rock, and he was unconscious when I found him. I was trying to bring him back to life when I noticed two other men coming back witl the buggy. One of these happened tc be the constable, and he was exceedingly officious, and I saw that they suspected that I was guilty of foul play in some way or other. The victim of the runaway was a stranger tc them, and they thought I had robbed him. As bad luck would have it, they asked me what I had in my possession to establish my identity and also asked me what I had in my saddlebags. When I showed them the money, then that did settle It. They knew that ] had robbed him. The constable put his hand out toward the bag to take the money, and I took him by the collar and told him that if he wanted to live a few more minutes he must keep his hands off from me and my property. I agreed to go to the next town and wait developments, but I wouldn't stand any monkey work. We were all ready to start when the man came too and explained himself. We all aent to town, and while there I met a man that I knew in Benton, and then we all shook hands, and they advised me not to carry so much money, and saw me off. "But that is not all by any means. On the way back we had a big herd of cattle to cross at the ford of the Mis sourl, where Great Falls now stands. That was the best ford for hundreds of miles, and the only one that was passable at that time of the year. My brother had all that was left of the money, about a thousand dollars in $10 bills, in the saddle pockets, and when about half way across his horse stepped on a slippery rock, and down they both went under the water. "The saddlebag slipped oft and went whirling merrily down the stream. My : brother freed himself from the horse, 1 and started after the bags. I rode : along the banks, expecting to see my brother drown or give up the chase, but he stayed with it, and in less than a quarter of a mile he swam ashore with it in his teeth. "Of course, the hundred bills were soaked with the water, and when we took them ouj they looked like a chunk green pulp. It was a bright, warm day in July, and not a breath of air was stirring. We camped for noon on the bottom there, where Great Falls is now, and my brother took the bills and spread them along on the grass in the sun to dry. We had picked up two cowboys with the cattle. Well, you might not believe it, but a thousand dollars in $10 bills make quite a showing when they are spread out on the prairie. They soon dried in the sun, and we expected to gather them up as soon as we had finished dinner. While we were eating what did a whirlwind do?they're so common in Montana at that time of the year?but sweep along and pick every bill in the lot up and whirl them sky high in all directions? We joined hands and walked four abreast along the bottom for several hours, and found all but four or five bills, but it was enough for me, and I didn't breathe quite easy until we had put what money we had in the bank.
