"That trees, seeds, or cuttings were in good faith planted according to the requirements of the timber-culture laws as amended by the first section of the But of March 3d, 1891, before mentione'd 'i. "That the trees, seeds, or cuttings so planted, and tbe land upon which they were so planted were ill good ftiilb cultivated for at least eight years in manner prescribed in tbe timber-culture lawa." 3. "Tbat the olaiinnut was qualified to make entry under said laws." 4. "That he has an entry subsisting thereunder.'' 6. "That tbe facts of the case are snob as to show tbe claimant's good faith in his proceedings uuder the stat utes." Hy tbe above it will be seen tbat it is not required that there shall bj any living treea on the tract at time of niak ing proof. The applicant ia simply required to prove plauting and cultiva tion for eight years, John W. Lewis, Register. IT SUITED THE CAUITS.

A hostess, whose influence with the four hundred should certainly carry weight, even outside that august body, has set the excellent fashion of refus ing to allow any servant in her employ to accept tips from guests, says the Il lustrated American.. Bhe argues, with great good sense, that the custom is not ony a burden and nuisance to visitors, but is an indirect imputation upon her liberality as a mistress. Paying every domestic fair wages, she exacts that they serve strangers in the house with impartial courtesy, and, looking for no favors, adopt an air oi uniform and cheerful obligingness. It appears that this particular lady had always been opposed to the ugly English mode of remunerating maids and men, but hod succumbed to the popular method until an unfortunate and embarrassing episode occurred at her own country seat. She had been entertaining a charming girl of posi tion, whose means she knew to be lim ited. When the week's visit was over cordial good-bys were exchanged and the pretty visitor was driven to the railroad Btation with her luggage and there deposited to await the next train. Late in the afternoon the ticket agent from the station called and requested a private interview. With profound astonishment did the kindly hostess learn of all her girl guest had suffered. The man showed a gold bangle and ring which she recognized as the prop erty of her friend, and explained that after a painful interview he had been forced to take them in payment for the young lady's railway fare. He said she was nervous and, after exchanging a few. words oJSatdayibjwt of rates, burst into tears aud pKdfered her jewelry in exchange for a ticket to New York. Of course he was amazed and insisted on trusting her for the amount, but be tween her sobs she managed to explain that the arrangement was final. Too excited to think of discretion, she went on to say that only with diffi culty had suffUient money been raised by the family at home for this visit, and only the day before another guest hud enlightened her on the exactions of tip ping. As the establishment was a large one, with six maids and four men, her little store of fifteen dollars disappeared like mist, and unless the agent would accept her trinkets the case was hope less. She added that in three instances the servants had openly objected to the modest extras offered, one insisting on : People who have duzirum, headache or back nothing less than three dollars for ' ache, or who are troubled with melancholy or services rendered. Shocked beyond despondent feelings, are already well on the measure, the indignant hostess straight ened the unfortunate affair out, had very decisive interviews with her do mestics in turn, and to-day she regards it as a direct discourtesy to proffer money to her employes.

While waiting for a conveyance an officer questioned the would-be suicide, who was atut ou years ot age, as to iiis name, auuress, and reason for wishing to end his life, but the man steadfastly refused to give any infor mation regarding himself. He was taken to the Massachusetts General Hospital and surgical attendance given him. Although weak from loss of blood it is probable he will recover.
