Forced Assessment in Another. PERCENTAGE SYSTEM USUAL A Virtue on One Side of a Political Boundary May Be a Crime on the Other In Early Days of Revo lution It Was Almost Impossible to Give a Tip in Russia Tipping in the East Seldom Causes Embarrass ment or Hard Feelings. "Tlie tip Las Its geography no less than tlie coin with which it is paid. Extending it may be a graceful cour tesy in one part of the world and a matter of a forced assessment in another; a virtue on one side of a political boundary and a crime uu the other," according to a bulletin on the tipping customs in various countries Issued by the National (Jeographic society. "In HUT, a few weeks after the long awaited Russian revolution had started," the bulletin continues, "Am erican travelers in l'etrograd cheer fully paid a pereenWige of their bills for service and were spared the ne cessity of buying their hats several times over as modern man does if lie freipieiits some restaurants In America. It was almost impossible to give tips in Kussia then. One man was questioned regarding the matter tnj'l his reply was that if he took n tip. he could not call the giver 'ov:irische' he could not exact n pratuity from a 'comrade.' I Miring cloven months In Kussia. the tipping bill of one traveler would not have satisfied a metropolitan bellboy for showing a guest to a 'free' checkroom. "Last summer, in I'rague, a charge of : pel- cent for service was added to hotel bills. This high rate was due to the fact that the price of ntoins was strictly legulaled but the price of wages was not. In Carlsbad, now called, but little known as Karlovy Vary. it one of the best restaurants the 'zei lios,, al;iiin waiters also re-fus-ert to accej-t tips. The 1." per cent added to the bill sati.-tied them and they seemed glad to be able In Uxik one iu the eye instead of in the palm. The 1.1 per cent was as much a part of the b;l as a cover charge or the cost of bread and butter, and could be counted on in advance. "In West J'himi a few years ago, chair coolies, after many days of hard toil, were delighted to receive a little present to be used in proiding a pork feast. Throughout remote regions of the world, ihe gratitude that is eokcd by a small present graciously given is very charming to one whose pocketbiv'k Is the subject of siege every time he makes a move in civilized zones. Tipping One's Way in Trieste. "Last summer a traveler arrived at Trieste at midnight to find the city in darkne-s and without, trains be cause of a strike in the eiectricr.l plant. Another strike had wiped the carriages and taxicabs ott the si reefs. For a tip. the custodial of the bHg .-ige room opened his storage chain her, for another tip a porter carried the checked baggage from the train The only consolation left to the mid night arrival was that the money was cheap. "At '':.". a. m. the traveler was in bed mid out a fifty Jiro tip althouirh the price of the room was only IS lire a day. A week later this Irnveler was in the prize hostelrv of Venice blessing the Italian race and the founders of the city because the porter at the desk allowed him to pay for a room without forcing him to pay for the privilege. "Throughout the Kasr, tipping is so general and so moderate in the scale of donations that it seldom causes embarrassment or hard feel ings. Rut the outgoing guest sees more servants than the incoming irnveler dreams of. Speeding the parting guest is Apia's one best bet. The most satisfactory plan for the traveler is to hir a bearer, tell him in advance how much he will allow for tips and then let the tactful em ployee gamble Ids desire for gold against Ids willingness to have his ancestry cursed unto ihe dawn of time. Where Hotel Rooms are Scarce. "In Central Kuropc, a hotel room in a prize to be won by painstaking effort. In r.uchtirest one may have to visit so many Motels that his carriage bill will make other expenses seem impossible. After such a fruitless search for ijuarlers a traveler recently obtained a letter from a cabinet min ister to the chief of police. After that worthy bad risen from bis noon day nap. he sent a police sergeant with the searcher demanding in the name of the law that he be given a room. A porter then consented to do what he had refused to do two hours earlier. "One voineiiines has pleasant mem ories of gratuities given. A tourist fresh from college, wa 'doing' Lurope cheaply some years ago. In Liver pool, he sought a modest hotel find was given a very satisfactory iixmi.

"Of coui-e, to tlio Snail. ' ' said the Creeii Snake there are some creatures who never have liked snakes, who never will like snakes, and who never want to like snakes. "They do not care to hear about snakes, they do not want speak of snakes, ami they even get much Upset if they see a snake. "I can under stand that they wouldn't want to see the poisonous snakes, but there are hardly any poisonous snakes in this land, hard they are off from from tore. 'Very Good You." of ly any :il all. and lure. wav. way off "Hut I should think that now lhat the summer is here and now weather is hot it would be thai the plea -ant for people to think of me." Wh-it mikes you think thai?" asked the Snail. "Of course." said the Oreen Snake, "I know that creatures who don't like snakes at any time won't want to think of me and of my family now. but still, for those who do like Miakcs I should think they would want to think f me. "You mv, I am a little ;:.een Snake, a pleasant little Crceu Snake, and I should think it woiiitl be pleasant to think of a given snake op. a hot sum mer day. "Oiveii is sticfi a cool, nice color. I should think people would like to think of ine and of green cucumbers. I'oth very pleasant thoughts for peo ple. And I give them quile free of charge." "tjood of you," said the ;-nail. "very good of you." "Voti know," said the Creon Snake. "-oi;;e very unfair things get around about snakes. Now, lake the Milk Snake, for example. That's the fam ily name of certain snakes. Many of tbel.i have been killed becau-e people think they steal milk from I ho farms. "Hut there is no truth in that, not a scrap of trui h. "Snakes don't care for milk i'.t all. A snake would have to be actually passing away with thirst to be willing to swallow any m'.lU. "And that unfair siery ha gone around so much about tbw Mill Snake." "If is an unfair story," said the snail "I'd go about and trv to undo the I. -inn the story has done, but I move s. slowly that IM hot be of much help. Still, whenever I get the chance 1 will fell creatures that that story about the Milk Snake is r,nite untrue. As a mes-M-:gei- I'd never be of much u-e." "That is true," said the tSreen Snake, "but do what you an. Kvery- II. ilig helps, you know." "Why are you so fond "f the color of green V" asked the Snail. "It is not only because it is a col summer color, is it'r" "Not only," the (Ireeii Snake said. "I am a little snake, it is true, and I have to look out for myself. "You know I can't scold you about moving slowly, for I'm one who moves slowly too. "The green snake never gets about quickly, and so I think it is well to have a suit lhat matches the plants I am apt lo be near. "Then, if I keep still, creatures don't know I'm about, and I save myself from many nar row escapes in that way, or rath er. I should say, I don't have the narrow escapes that I otherwise would have If I were not of the green color. 'Now, I am a well m e ;i n I n g enough creature. I would like to talk about the creatures that don't mean well. "There's the Poison Ivy fam ily. They love to do harm with One Good Swat." their three-pointed leaves which go together in all the family groups. "Then there is the Fly. who is n cross creature, going where lie isn't wanted ar.d not caring a bit about whether he carries sickness with him or not. No one should torture or pull off his legs, or anything mean like that, but it is well to get after hltn with one good swat. "Ann tne .Mosquito, too: uc u-l mean one! Oh, what a mean one he is. Ye. I don't thitik snakes should he disliked so much, when there are other creatures worthy of being dts-1 liked. That's what I think, Mr. 'uail." J Mistaken.
