HE ALWAYS "TIPS' SERVANTS.
Because Ho Thinks It Smooths His Koad
In Life Wonderfully.
A traveler who was relating to a
company of friends his experience in
tipping or feeing1 servants had been in
many countries where he had only a
smattering1 of the native language,
says the Youth's Companion. He had
been dependent to a large extent upon
tipping as a means of making- his jour
neys in foreign lands comfortable, and
in some cases even endurable.
"Gold is the universal language," he
said, "which is understood the world
over. Let people see the color of your
money and you can travel almost any
where without phrase book or Ollen
dorff. "It has the magic quality of convert
ing' into mind readers those whose
services you require. It has shortened
many a journey for me, smoothed my
pillow on land and sta and forced an
appetite for many a meal.
"Money sometimes," he added, "can
be too eloquent. The largest fee which
I ever paid was to a guide in the Chilian
Andes. " " '
"I had fainted from fatig-ue in the
mountains toward the end of a long
day's ride. He dashed water over my
face, forced brandy down my throat and
restored me to consciousness. I was
grateful and gave him ten dollars. It
was a mistake that nearly cost me my
life.
"The guide," the traveler continued,
"received with the fee an exaggerated
idea of my wealth. He entered into a
conspiracy to rob and murder me in
the mountains. I was rescued by two
Chilian gentlemen from a fate which I
had invited by my lavish and reckless
tip."
"Have you ever found anyone,"
asked one of the traveler's friends,
"who gave any real evidence of being
grateful for your generosity in feeling?-
"I can remember only one instance,"
was the response. "A colored waiter
in a hotel in Caracas was very bright
and attentive.
"As I was to remain there a week, I
gave him a large fee after the first
meal, so as to secure good service.
From that moment he was a most
faithful attendant, not only serving me
intelligently at .table, but even install
ing himself as my interpreter, lackey
and bodyguard.
"On my last morning in Caracas, as I
entered a carriage, to drive to the rail
way station, my colored friend placed
a small basket on the seat.
" 'You must take this,' he said, 'as a
token of my gratitude. 'When you gave
me money the day you arrived you did
not know how much I needed it. My
mother was ill. We were very poor.
With that money I bought medicine
which she needed. In this basket are
some of the best oranges raised in Ven
ezuela." "He was not trying to get a final tip.
He ran off with tears in his eyes before
I could thank him. He was grateful,
and with real delicacy of feeling
showed his appreciation of generos
ity."
Medical Electricity.
While electricity has been part and
parcel of ' certain classes of medical
treatment for many years, but few rep
utable physicians professed to know
exactly what it did and why it cured,
or was said to cure, disease. There
was something mysterious in the buzz
ing and tingling that accompanied its
employment, and psssibly the absorp
tion of the mind and the idea that
some unknown power was working in
the system did as much good as any
other form of treatment. Of late, how
ever, there have been some important
discoveries in this line, and as a result
the action of electricity is ' utilized to
disseminate or drive into the system
various remedial agents that produce
given effects. As the current passes
through or along the body, it carries
with it the element that is to be incor
porated with the tissues, ; and in this
way has a fixed and perceptible action
Trades Unionism in China. '
The Chinese trades unions can trace
their history back for more than four
thousand years. . The Chinaman does
tiot discuss with his employer what he
is to receive for the work he does; he
simply takes what he considers fair
and proper remuneration.' He levies
toll on every transaction, according to
laws laid down by his trades union, and
without for a moment taking into con
sideration what his employer may con
sider proper. He is, therefore, says a
correspondent of the Philadelphia Tel
egraph, generally called a thief, but he
is acting under due guarantees, in
obedience to laws that .are far better
observed and more strict than any the

by a Madly Rushing
Herd.
"Yes; we have an adventure now and
then out in our country," said Judge
Thompson, of Wyoming. "If you'll
come out and see us I'll refer yoa to
five or six men whose hairbreadth es-
apc-s would fill a book. As for me, I
haven't had but one close call worth
relating'.' -
"Thafs the very one I'm after," said
the Detroit Free Press interviewer..
"Well, it didn't amount to much as
an adventure, I'm afraid, though I'm
free to say I was never more frightened
for ten minutes. - Between what is
called the Granite ridges and Bad Wa
ter creek, in central Wyoming, is a fine
cattle range. I was out with a small
partv last summer prospecting for cer
tain minerals, and" had to cross this-val
ley at about the center. There were
four of us on horseback, with ou? outfit
packed on the three lead mules, and afr
about two cf clock m the afternoon we
sighted something to make the hair
lift our hats right off our heads."
'Indians or grizzly, bears?" queried
the scribe
'Pish! The Indians were all right
and grizzly bears don't wander down
into the valleys by daylight. hat we
sighted was a herd of about four thou
sand cattle coming our way, and
they were coming as if every critter was
carrying one hundred pounds of steam.
Two or three herds got mixed, and in
trying to separate them the boys had
started a general stampede. In the
old days the buffaloes used to be some
on the mad rush, but let me tell you
that the wild cattle of the west can run
a third faster, and when they once get
started they will charge a flaming
mountain. The front "of the herd
wasn't over a mile away when -we
sighted it, and it was no use to run be
fore it, turn back, or ride anead. Our
horses were scrub stock and had no
speed."
"And there was no convenient grove
or rock to shelter you?"
"Not a tree nor a rock for five miles
Ground, but just where we pulled, up
was a natural ditch about fifty feet long
cut oxit by the rains. It wasn't over
two feet wide by twenty inches deep,
but it was our only hope. We slipped
off our horses, gave them a slap, and
piled into that ditch face down."
"And the herd passed over you?
"Exactly. I hadn't drawn three
long breaths when the front of the
herd was at hand. Let me just tell
"you that I was never so scared in all
my born days. Every critter was
bellowing, horns clashing, hoofs dig
rring up the soil, and as each one
jumped the ditch he caved the' dirt in
on me. I felt fifty different hoofs
scuff my back, and every instant ex
pected to be stepped on. It took the
herd only about ten minutes to pass,
but the time seemed hours long to me.
When the last one had come and gone
I was regularly' covered in and had to
be dug out. Two of the party were
stepped on and badly hurt."
"And your horses and mules?'
"Picked up on the horns of the cattle
and tossed about and stepped on till they
were reduced to pulp. Just cleaned us
out as slick as a whistle. If vce'd been
in our saddles nobody would have
recognized us as having once been hu
man beings."
"Socmod like the hand of providence,
didn't it?" '
'Of course. That's what we look for
r.nd depond upon out in our country.

Not a Pleasant People.
An almost unknown race or one
rarely visited by Europeans is de
scribed by Mr. G. S. Itobertson. These
people live in the sub-Himalayan region
and are called Kafiristans.- In many
respects they are not a pleasant people.
Their worst mental peculiarities are cu
pidity, jealousy, and intertribal hatred.
On the other hand they have r: strong
family affection and are capable of acts
of Tieroism when at ' war.. For killing
one of their fellow tribesmen banish
ment is the penalty. -They have' their
cities of refuge. They have ; medicine

there is a secret valley in Kafiristan
where an unknown ' tongue : is spoken

A Curious Incident.
A train was ' recently stopped in
France, on the line between Bellegarde
and Geneva,' under- the following- cari
ous circumstances: A freight'trc.in had
in one of its cars some cod liver oil,
which began to leak away from the
containing vessel. "By chance, the es
caping stream struck exactly in the
middle of the rail. The train that bore
the oil was not affected, but the track
was thus welt greased for the passen
ger train that followed, which came to
a standstill when it reached the oily
rails. Nearly three-quarters of an hour
were consumed in running the two
and a half - miles to the next station,
and this rate was only attained by dili
gent sanding of the' track.
Chinese Uosits Havo "Eyes."
Chinese junks and boats have eyes
carved or painted on the bows, which
are usually supposed to be a mere fan
ciful form of ornamentation. Jiut they
nave a real meaning-, as a recent travel
ler found. In going up one of the
rivers from Ningpo he was startled one
day ' by seeing - a boatman seize his
broad hat and clap it over one of the
"eyes" of the boat, while other boats
on the stream were similarly blinded.
Looking about for an explanation he
saw a dead body floating ' past and he
was told by the boatman that if the
boat had been allowed to "see" it, some
disaster would surely have happened
either to passengers or crew before the
