CANADA MAY BAR Ill's
Canada's parliament eontem- i
plates tackliug the tipping
uuisauce. Should tho house of
commous concur in a bill approve i
by the senate, it may amerce any
body $100 and costs either to .uh
or to receive a tip in Canada.
Attempts to abolish the practice
of extorting and yielding la
in connection with lunches, berths,
haircuts and other services or j
commodities have been frequent, i
;is have been tho expressions of
indignation. It is also true that i
the efforts usually have failed. X<
tip hotels and barber shops have
not beeu encouraged as they de J
served. Anti-tip statutes have
failed either of serious enactment
or of conscientious enforcement.
That the Canadian plan may
prove more successful seems not
Improbable. There is somethin
to be said lu favor of national ;
legislation as a medium of reform
Moreover, the dominion might b
an exceptionally favorable provin
ground. The Canadian presum ibly
shares the British respect for law
and disposition to obey It implicitly

EVOLUTION OF A POLLYWOG.
Changes That Mark the Transition of j
This Curious Creature From an ,
Aquatic to an Air Breathing Animal, j
How It Differs From the Toad.
There is no it.1re Interesting creature

for It Is a fish lu the process of trans
formation into n land animal. Tac
whole process chu be wntche<l if }'• "

plants.
in finy or trie ponns in mc parrs -

in the proper season frog spawn can
be found It flouts on the water H .0
masses of sago pudding. A handf-il
of this will furnish entertainment t' :
several weeks and will at the same
Lime give a lesson in evolution.
The spawn that floats on the ponds 1
!s the eggs of frogs. They lay It In
the flrst warm days of spring, spread
Ing It where the rays of the suu wl.l
warm it. Each egg contains a yolk,
which is the food of the living germ
within, and Is coated with black, prob
ably to attract as much heat as pos
sible and at the same time to protect
the germ from the penetrating ultra
violet rays of the light, which would
destroy It The black yolk Is In the
center of a mass of transparent Jelly,
which is there as a protective covering
If a small mass of spawn be placed
In a jar of water and watched dally
with an ordinary magnifying glass the
black yolk of each egg will presently
be seen to assume a sausage-Ilke shape
Gradually this takes the form of a tiny
pollywog. which soon begins to wrig
gle. After a few days these little black
bodies wrlcrgle out through the trans
parent jelly and attach themselves to
bits of green sticks or weeds, which
should be placed in the jar with them.
For some time they remain attached
to such supports by a sucker, waiting
for the opening of the mouth. As yet |
there are no visible eyes, but suin'l
stumps on each side of the head will
be noticed. These are the gills The
whole skin If examined with a lei;s
will be found to lie covered w ith a sort I
of animated velvet pile, for its c 1: :■ >

and a little later these movements v :
be strong enough to bear the body 1
slowly along, so that locomotion at t:
stage Is like that of the low!k-t of li
ing creatures, the protozoa.
When the mouth appears the Jrn-'de
of the great fleshy lips aud the .iav
will be found to be armed with rows
of horny teeth numbering many hi.11
dreds. The gills will also have grown
considerably. These, however, soon
give place to Internal gills, and the ]
water taken at the mouth passes 01;t
again by a small funnel on the rigl '
side of the head. This fishlike stage
disappears with the appearance of the

rotn long experience, and tho lat
er .it: entirely absurd composite of
taent against an imposition
id apprehension lest acquiesceuco
'iii reluctant or niggardly.
Very few possess the fortitude to
ii:'uhold tips altogether. Most
»en iie give them liberally, but uti
le:- mental protest. It is not that
hey mind the money, but that
hey despise the principle. They
»ate to bo gouged. They will be
'uro to wish all success to any
inti-tip^ing campaign the do
minion may inaugurate. Should a
iclpful example of the sort come
ro-j the international boundary,
t will be most welcome, though
vholly undeserved. For the Amer
