Two men sat side by side on the high stools of one of those quick lunch places lined with pale tiles like a bathroom that abound In Philadelphia. One of them said to the other: "In a cafe like this few persons tip the wait­ er behind the counter. They think It would be a waste of money, because the waiter calls their orders down a tube into a kitchen somewhere under ground, and they hold that he has no jurisdiction over the portions and that they are served just the same whether they tip them or not. "Well, they are altogether mistaken, know, for I have made a study of this matter. The waiter here has two tones-with which to speak through the tube. One tone is for the patron who tips, the other for him who doesn't Now, watch a minute." The waiter in an ordinary voice now called three or­ ders and then in a strange falsetto called that of the man who had been speaking. "You see?" said he to his companion. "I tip and those other fel­ lows don't" A moment later he added triumphantly; "Look at the difference between my order of roast beef and our friend's over there. I've got a big cut out .of the heart of the roast and he's got two or three little chunks of 'end.' Oh, yes; it pays to tip in these places as well as it does anywhere P'-- Philadelphia Record. Forcing » Penalon. When Thomas Snodgrass, ex-collect- or of Ganjaui, Madras, was expelled from the service of the East India company owing to his extravagance, he applied for a pension, but the com­ pany turned a deaf ear to him. Ac­ cordingly he arrayed himself In tattered clothes and, armed with a broom, set to work sweeping a crossing in Lead- enhall street in front of the East India house. Immediately all London was agog with the intelligence that an old and distinguished officer of the Blast India company who had ruled over 100,000 people and reveled in a palace was now reduced in the evening of his life to the necessity of earning his bread by sweeping the streets. The king was thunderstruck and implored Mr. Snodgrass to take himself and his broom away. This he did when the company gave him his pension. Tk« Celts and Green. The early Celts worshiped the dawn and the sunrise. It is more than proba­ ble. therefore, that their liking for the color green which we see in their flags, sashes, etc., arose from a mistake among those who had lost a thorough knowledge of the Irish language. The sun in Celtic is called by a word pro­ nounced exactly like our word "green," and It is likely that the Irish fondness for that color arose through the strik­ ing similarity of the two words. In the same way, when we talk about a greenhouse we think they are so called because plants are kept green in them during the winter; yet it is far more probable that the word is derived from the old Celtic word for sun, because greenhouses are so built as to catch the rays and beat of the sun and • store them for future use. B«*ed Conscience*. A well known English dean recently had the misfortune to lose his umbrel­ la. and he rather suspected that its ap­ propriation by another had not been altogether, accidental. He therefore used the story to point a moral in a sermon in the cathedral, adding that if its present possessor would drop it over the wall of the deanery garden during that night he would say no more about it Next morning he re­ paired to the spot and found his own umbrella and forty-flve others.
