THK TIPPING SYSTEM. At tbelr tDlernatlonal coov«DtlOn Id New York city the waiters have spoken strongly against tipping. It offends their self-respect and keeps down their regular wages. However they will consent to be humiliated until employers grant them more par On the other hand, the public admits that tipping has become a nuisance, but continues to encourage It. It would not be so bad It a small gift were occasionally made In recognition of satisfactory service or from personal choice. in fact, whether the service Is good or bad, the tip Is virtually demanded, and the more pretentious the establishment the more exacting the rule of tribute.
While protesting against tipping, employees and patrons both leave It to the employer to decide what shall be done, and It Is to his advantage to have the patrons pay his help. Where tipping Is carried on most freely wages are fixed on that theory. The waiter or the barber who receives the fee seldom pockets it. It Is divided among all the waiters and barbers after the man who engages them ha- substrieted his part. If only It were possible for the person giving a tip of a dime or a quarter to divide It openly between tl e barber or waiter who serves him and the man above, the system would correct Itself. But the man above prefers to preserve his dignity by keeping out of sight.

Concerning Vacation*, It bag been demonetratad In tba experience of every nicceeaful buelneaa man, that a ehort relaxation from work, both mental and physical, Is of vast benefit, not only to the employ-, but also to the employer. The chief contention of those, who are opposed to granting vacations to their employees, Is that the suggestion of such a thing Is preposterous. But there Is not a successful business man who has not observed that the granting of vacations has beer me almost universal In this country; and who does not know that what Is preposterous never could have been adopted, os a system which has maintained itself and become well «stablishe ( dd. There may te wisdom, however. In questioning the actual physical value of two weeks' vacation In a year, and to say that It Is absurd to suppose that a man In two weeks, can recuperate from the wear and tear of a year's work. There may be wisdom, also, In the declaration that men make Inroads upon their vitality and purses, during vacation, which cannot be repaired In the following eleven months and two weeks. However, most men, who are competent and valued, are not ■.’> foolish as to squander their substance and to undermine tbelr health, by an Injudicious manner of spend.ng bhelr hoi- | Iday. If they need rest, they will manage to obtain It; but, as a rule, they do not need rest so much as a change of occupation, and if tbelr vacation be wlaoly employed, the memory of tbelr pleasure cheers | them In tbelr work, throughout the ! remainder of the year. It would be difficult to estimate any loss to the man. who accepts the I offer of a vacation; and the only j question is whether the employer Is a loser by his acceptance. The universality of tho vacation system la a very good proof that there la not any loss; If here were any, employers would not continue a custom to their dlsadvant!\ge, and the fact that vacations are granted Is an evidence that the employers reckon upon a gain. The eleven months and two weeks work is of better quality than the twelvemonths’ work; and In the Improved quality of the work the employers realize their profit.

The one optimistic note In the desperate need prevailing through the wartorn areas of eastern Europe Is the extraordinary anil touching faith of the people in the children. The elder generation has put all Its hope and trust In the future of the generation now In Its early years. In fact. In many Instances it Is deliberately sacrificing itself for the children, the Europe of tomorrow. In the war-ravaged districts supplies necessary for maintenance of Insti- < tutlons are lacking, but It has been | noted that always the request for out- < side aid emphasises the aeeds of tlie j orphanages. How marked Is this In- . cltnatlon was Indicated by the fact ’ that on# district of I'olond the au- • thorlties, appealing to an American relief organisation for assistance, asked . assistance for only one military ho*- • pltal, four general hospitals and twen- - ty orphanages. The appeal has reached America with the result that because they know that literally millions of European children face starvation and death from disease unless the aid that only this country can give Is forthcoming, eight great American relief sgenclee have banded together under the name of the European Belief Council to raise Sfifi.000,000 needed to tide the baby generation of Europe over possibly the most critical winter It has yet faced. These are the American Relief Administration, the Amerlcsn Red Cross, the American Friends' Service Committee (Quakers), the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, the Federal Council of Churches of Christ In America, the KnlgfcU ti Columbus, tho ¥.

Potatoes Grown In a Hurry. A potato wizard who has found a method for making the ‘‘spuds" grow In a hurry, has turned np In Connecticut. William H. Sheldon, Is his name, and he has a farm on tho Housatontc River, For several seasons he civated a sensation by getting his first crop of new potatoes Into the market two or three weeks earlier than his neighbors. How he accomplished this was a deep mystery to everybody. Everyone tried to solve It and failed, and now Sheldon has relieved their anxiety by removing the veil around his operations During the last week In Februrary, or the first week In March he takes about twenty bushels of his best potatoes from the cellar, and In a warm room, which ho retains for this purpose, places them tlose together on the floor, stem end down. The heat and light soon atari the growth of the sprouts. In bis kitchen, near the stove, he has constructed a rack which contains several board trays, each tray being four long and fourteen inches wide. This he styles his "incubator." Oa these trays the potatoes are laid In the same manner as they are arranged in the room. In about two weeks the leaves start and the potatoes are taken out Into the field and set out In the same manner as celery or tobacco plants. Here Is where the back-breaking part of the process comes In, for It 1c no easy matter to ret by hand an acie of potatoes. Tho groan a is prepared In the same manner as for ordlmTy potato planting. Fertilizer is placed In the furrows and through these furro..s n r.^avy c hain Is drawn to thoroughly pulv. rize the earth and to mix earth and fertilizer. The rowu are three feet apart and the potatoes are fifteen Infiieg apart In the rows. They are entirely covered with earth and In two or three days will break through the soil. This process, although requiring a good deal of tin e and attention. Is made profitable, aeeordIng to Mr. Sheldon, by the Increased price for which the potatoes can be sold.
