/ *AWY PEOPLE ACCEPT TIPS. SANTA CLAUS ! ! » LIGHT FOR THE FISHES. For catching bass at dusk the fol lowing plan is sometimes tried in the upper part of the state. The fisherman anchors in comparatively deep water outside the lily pads. He rigs an extra rod and attaches a nine-foot leader to the end of the line. At the end of the leader he ties a heavy sinker, and al>out five feet above the sinker a large* bob or piece of cork, which ha.i previous ly received a heavy coat of phos phorus, Mays the New York Sun. Without hook or bait he easts this line well in toward the pads, the line being held in place at the surface by a second cork. The Lne is reeled out, and the rod laid on the aide of the boat. Then selecting a lively minnow he baits his casting rod and drops the min- I now within a foot or two of the other l ne. He then lights his pipe ami awaits developments, From time to time as the minnow swims away from the lure a new cast is made. The explanation of the success of this plan of catching bass is that the fish are attracted by the phosphor escent bob and in swimming around it find the bait. The plan has proved successful when small frogs or craw fish were used instead of minnows. An incentive genius, who first saw the lure in use at Upper St. Regis lake, sent to New York for a bat tery, waterproof wire and ground glass electric bulbs. For some rea son the elaborate apparatus was not a success. Those who made the experiment say the lure is equally effective when used in trolling. For this purpose the lure is nfade of cork or light pine. It is attached to the line about ten feet in front of the hooks.

Borchgrevink, writing of penguins in Leslie’* Monthly, to see how some of the lazy birds would quickly make off with the pebbles with which they build their ner‘- and which through great care all irtn work. had been accumulated by one of the band, the moment the owner hap pened to turn his back. The osten tatious attempt of the culprit to look innocent when caught in the act amused ’ iih mightily. The rightful owner of the pebble was sure to pursue the thief and then the two would fight desperately till blood covered their flippers. Sometimes they stooff up to each other like pugilists, giving an<l taking punish ment like men, and they exhibited surprising efficiency in the art of hitting. Sometimes they seemed to remember the pebble, the cause of the quarrel, but 1 noticed that the one who first gave in generally walked off with the pebble, while the other, blinded by success, was left with the honor. Meanwhile the conqueror would return to his nest anil fin 1 that his kind neighbors had used t^e opportunity to pebble th»'ir nests from his possessions while he hail been away struggling so valiant ly to catch the thief of one single pebble. AN UNINHABITABLE LAND. A well-known civil engineer, H. B. Carpenter, who has recently com pleted the survey of the southern line of Utah, says the boundary be tween that state and Arizona does not er >ss a foot of cultivated land. It traverses a desert, which is cut up by great canyons that are almost inqms.Mtble. The length of thr line is 277 miles. Landmarks along the line wdl make it possible for the boundary to be located without any diflh-ulty in thr future. Just ras: of thr Colorado river a sandstone butte rises I.COO feet above the plain, and thr very peak of this butte is exact ly on the bonnilary. Mr. Carpenter named the |>eak State Line butte. Not far from this butte is another, which stands 1,300 feet above the plain, a. ml was named Tower peak. These two gigantic stones will al ways be a guide to persons who have enough curiosity to penetrate the desert in search of the state lina. 1.1ved I> owb III« Revntatlo«. %« The king of Italy was «»popular at the time of his coming to the throne, because of the stories of his extreme economy, but has lately shown that, though hr is circumspect in his expenditure, he is lil»erai and benevolent, lie gives largely to char ity, both organised and individual, and in his social life seems ready to make an outlay that is necessitated by his positnm. Among his recent lienefactions was a gift of 100,0'0 lire to the town of Palermo, to be «listribnted among the poor and three charitable institutions. Of this sum 50,000 l^re is to go to the poor, 30.000 lire to the town hospital, 10.000 lire to the marine hospital, and 1,000 lire to the Red ( rites society.

"You, for instance, tell your tobac conist that in a few days Smith, the millionaire, will be in to see him— that Smith was looking for a good dealer, and you recommended him to go there, Well, Smith goes there and leaves a heavy order, Hence you are not surprised when you receive a little later a box of fine cigars, with your tobacconist’s compliments but if those cigars are not a tip, what arc they? “Brown is a buyer for a big manu factory. The firm he patronizes is sending him every week or two boxes of toilet soaps, cases of perfumery, dozens of golf balls, and burrels' of clams. Those are Brown’s tips—the gratuities he gets for his patronage. “Robinson sends a rich friend to his tailor with a note of introduction, and the rich friend buys four suits. Isn’t Robinson being tipped when the tailor, the week following, makes him a present of a set of English flannels?” The waiter made a disdainful ges ture, says the Philadelphia Record, and ejaculated: “Pish! “ * Tipping, they My, i. tin- American, and a waiter of proper pride and independence would scorn to accept a quarter or a half in re* turn for the serving of a meal. But I say that tipping runs clean through our social system, from top to bot tom, and all of us, excepting only the elevator man, are taking tips of one sort or another all our lives.” IS GROWING IN FAVOR. The custom of cremation prevailed throughout the civilized world before the Christian era, excepting among the Egyptians, Chinese and Hebrews, and recent statistics show that there is a constant and growing tendency to return to the custom. The disposition of the human dead by incinceration has been meeting with more and more favor, that has in no wise been retarded since the first cremation society was formed in Lon don in 1874. That sume year a crema tory was erected in Milan and twe years afterward one was built in Lodi, Italy. In two years more there was one in Gotha, Germany, and aft erward they began to appear in all lands. The first one in this country was erected in Washington, Pa., in 1883, and the one in Fresh Pond, L. I., came two years afterward. In this latter eight bodies were cremated the first year and 76 in the second year. In 1900 the total has passed the 600 mark, and during last year it reached 654. There are now 26 crematories in the United States. In the year that New York’s first crematory was opened only- 46 bodies were cremated in the entire country, while last year the number was 2,645. PESTS OBJECT TO YELLOW. >««uito«a Wilt Avoid a Paraos Who Wears Clothin* of That Color. It Is Baid. Mosquitoes have their prejudice« ind one of these is a repugnance to yellow. For this reason residents in mosquito-infested parts are strongly recommended to wear as much yellow and to have as much yellow about them as possible. This advice comes from * French scientist who has been investi gating the psychology of the little jiest. One of the tests was as follow«- He took a certain number of boxes and lined their interiors with cloth of different color, and different shade»of the same color. Then he liberated in the room a large number of mosqui toes, believing that the colors in box would attract them. At the end of a certain timeheclo»^ his boxes and then began tocount. He found that the insects had a decided liking for dark colors in preference to white and that the most were found in the box which had been lined with dark blue. Not a single one was foun in the box which contained yellow- This test may not be conclusive, bulb sems to prove that there is somethiBf in the tradition that dark stocking a tract more mosquitoes to theank«1 than do light one..
