The tipping habit is bad enough ev
erywhere, and is worse la Europe than
here. In the eighteenth century It was
a greater evil than it is now. A writer
in the Cornhill Magazine tells some
stories to illustrate the old condition
of things. ,
la Edinburgh in 1700 the Society ot
Clerks enacted that all servants should
be forbidden to takeVps and members
be forbidden to give them. This exam
ple was followed by other clubs and
societies. Today there is the rule in
most clubs against feeing the servants.
An eccentric Irish gentleman, Lord
Taaffe, used to attend his guests to the
door, and If they offered any money to
the servants who were lined up with
the guests' baggage, the host would
say, "If you give, give it me; for it was
1 that did buy the dinner."
A well known colonel while sitting
at dinner inaulred the names of the
host's servants. "For," said he, "i can
not pay them for such a good dinner,
but I should like to remember them in
my will."
Another eccentric gentleman, after
patiently redeeming his hat, sword.
cane and cloak, to the very bottom of
his purse, turned to the two remain
ing servants who were waiting obse
quiously, each with a glove, and Bald
uffablv: "Keep those. I will not trou
ble to buv them back. They are old
and not worth a shilling."
Power of a Swaa'a Wins,
"Swans." said an official of the zoo,
have creat streuuth of wing. It is
said that with a blow of its wing a
swan can break a man's leg, and I
have no doubt this is bo. A doctor told
me one day, as we stood together by
the zoo lake, that one of his first cases
had been that of a man whose arm
swan had broken with its wing.
"The accident occurred in Arkansas,
on . Swan lake, a body of water where
these birds abound. A huntsman was
fire hunting,' when a swan, making
for the light, flew straight at his head.
He put up his arm to shield his face,
and the powerful wing of the big white
bird struck him like a club. Both
bones in the forearm were broken; it
was a compound rracture.
"If a swan accidentally can break in
this way a man's arm, there is, in my
opinion, no room to doubt that it could.

A curious legend regarding the
cuckoo is found among the Danes.'
which, with some modifications, la like
wise current in mauy parts of Ger
many, in England and the north of
Europe. When In early springtime the
voice of the cuckoo is first beard in
the woods, every village girl kisses her
hand and asks the question, "Cuckoo,
cuckoo, when shall I be married and
the old folks inquire, "Cuckoo, cuckoo;
when shall I be released from .this
world's cares?" The bird in answer
continues singing "Cuckoo" as man
times as years will elapse before th
object of their desires will come to
pass.
But as some old people live to an ad
vanced age and many girls marry late
in life the poor bird has so much to
do In answering the questions put to
her that the building season goes by;
she has no time to make her nest, but
lays her eggs in that of the hedge

YVhr a Boiled Lobster la Red,
In all crustaceans, as, indeed, In si
most everything in nature, there is a
certain per cent of Iron. Upon boiling
the lobster is oxidized. The effect is
largely due also to the percentage of
muriatic acid which exists naturally in
the shell. The chemical change which
takes place here is almost similar to
that which occurs in the burning of a
brick. In boiling a lobster Its coat
ceases to be a living substance, and to a
certain extent it takes a new charac
ter.
It is as a brick would be after burn'
Ing. This effect can, also be produced
by the sun, but necessarily not so rap
id, as the beat of that luminary, al
though more intense, is not concentrat
ed sufficiently to produce the result
The sun also exercises a bleaching in
fluence which consumes the oxide al
most as fast as it is formed, leaving
the shell white or nearly pure lime.
