r U S 1 Wedn< * OQ You'are nvited fc ?:| season Miss Mamie Sr ' i K Steamship Tipping. As a ship nears land after a trip across the Atlantic inexperienced I travelers are always in a ferment in j regard to the proper tip to give their various stewards. Of course j one ma)- give what one chooses and. j no matter how small the amount. 1 will never be questioned bv the re- | cipient, though his looks may mean much. I may say, however, that it is customary to give the table stew- i mrd about $3. Your bedroom stew- j ard should receive not less than $2. j the steward that polishes your boots j of a morning $1 and your bath I steward $2. In the larger boats, in ' jm which there are lifts that run be- ! ^ tween the E and A decks, saving you j the climb of five flights of stairs, should your cabin happen on E deck, it is now customary to give a "pourboire" to the boys who operate the cars. It is advisable, by the way, to engage a position for your deck chair and indicate the time at ' . - which you desire to take your mom- i ing tub at the, time when you en-} gage your passage. ? Gentlemen's i Journal. r ? A Sailoi* Superstition. 'It's funny," remarked an old skipper on the water front, ''how ancient superstitions cling to the men j who go to sea. Take, for instance, i that shark's lin nailed to the tip of the flying jibboom of that windjammer. There's hardly any of the people who come down to the docks on a Sunday afternoon that don't look and wonder at it. But few know irtat it means to seafaring men. Hfe a superstition as old as the art of sailing and one in which all seaf men believe. They think it takes the ginger out of heavy seas when the ship is shoving her nose under, and they also believe that so long as the shark's fin holds the vessel , will nev >r be in a collision. It is a ' mascot which brings all good, betides adding speed to the ship. A _ sailor would as leave see the masts ^ go by the board as to see the shark's fin lost ~off the jibboom."?San) Francisco Call. si- *' IT" Z " Plenty of Reason.

O O j ( not only realistic?it is real," said i ( an old actor. "Anyhow, it was so in I my case. Here is a copy of a pre- 1 scription that 1 had renewed eighty- j t three times in the three yi-ars that h I played the part of an invalid. 1 j reallv did sulier terribly most of ; that time with indigestion, and the j medicine was prescribed by my phy- t sician. lie had been hammering j away at me for months before I un- 1 dertook the part, trying to persuade < me to take something. When that role was assigned to me he saw his chance. i " 'You've got to take a dose of something in that second act,' he said, *so why not make it real medicine and cure your stomach trouble and earn your salary at the same time?' 'That seemed sensible advice. I i got the prescription made up, and, although I have eaten many a fake meal on the stage and have drunk many a pint of fake wine, never once have I taken a dose of fake medicine."?New York Sun. A Sensitive Policeman. An irascible policeman of Paris arrested a peaceful citizen for caking him a "geometrician." The citizen was bilking rather loudly to the proprietor of an old curiosity shop, with whom be was at variance as to the value of alleged antiquities offered for sale in the estab lisliment. me policeman in an excess of zeal entered the shop and expostulated with the citizen for shouting at the top of his voice. "You are a geometrician," was the retort of the person addressed. *^What is that vile name you called me ?" queried the policeman. "Go and study Euclid/' replied the* other, who was then seized by the collar of his overcoat anil marched to the station. There the too sensitive policeman was informed by his superior officer that there was not even a shadow of a case against the person arrested. Target Practice.

Among the curiosities, of tree life is the 6ofar or whistling tree of Nubia. When the winds blow over this tree it gives out flutelike sounds, plaving away to the wilderness for hours at a time strange, weird melodies. It is the spirit of i the dead singing among the branches, the natives say, but the scientific white man says that the sounds are due to a myriad of small holes which an insect bores in the spines of the branches. The weeping tree of the Canary j islands is another arboreal freak. This tree in the driest weather will ^ rain down showers from its leaves, | and the natives gather up the water from the pool formed at the foot of the trunk and find it pure and fresh. The tree exudes the water from innumerable pores at the base of the leaves.?Chicago Journal. I MILL 1 TEST i r\ in i^rei lesday an s.r * -- Y Thursdi ;e new styles.
