Complaints of Discrimination in Favor
of the Quincy system.
Tho Carriage Drivers Protective Union held
another meeting last night in the Police Court
room, and after a constitution and bylaws had
been adopted the subject OF the new Quincy syS-
TEN OF cabs was discussed.
Ii was stated that discrimination Is shown by
the authorities In the matter OF Issuing drive rs
licenses to the detriment OF the hackmen. One
member averred that The new company had the
privilege Of taking but one drivers license for
each cab, thereby allowing one man to work
during the day, while lie was relieved at night
by another driver. There are twelve Gurneys
In town and twenty.fOur men are employed on
them, while only thirteen licenses have been
issued and applications made for two more.
When these Two are Issued there will be nine
men who are driving without permits from tile
municipality. The member stated that tho hack
drivers have made several efforts to- obtain the
same privilege, but have always been refused.
AS the matter now stands tile union men eau
only secure either night or day license for
one carriage aud are not allowed TO take out u
solicitors license for their hacks
The Quincy driver. the hackmen assert, Is
given the privilege OF soliciting patronage for
other cabs than the particular one which ho
drives, and the union meu, according TO state
mens made last night. have offered to pay SO
per quarter for soliciting permits but could not
obtain them.

A Paralyzed Mans Woes.

Conductors on the horse cars meet with
many peculiar experiences. An incident of
this nature occurred on a Columbus avenue
car. When opposite the Boston and Provi-
demce depot there came aboard u little, dried
up old Irshman, who was bent almost dou-
BILE His hands were covered with a pair of
home knit red mittenS. He secured a seat
after some difficulty, and quietly met the

The conductor thereupon reached into the

very dirty bag about foot in length.
Thrusting his hand into its mouth, he pulled
out handful of miscellaneous coins and alb.
stracted a nickel, after which the bag was
replaced. The proceeding was a genuine
novelty for all who saw it.

Very few Of the thousands who use the
slang term Hes a brick" know its origin
or its primitive significance, according to
which it is grand thing to say of a man.
He's a brick" The word used in its origi-
nal intent implies all that is brave, patriotic
and loyal. Plutarch in his life of Agesilaus,
king of Sparta, gives US the meaning of the
quaint and familiar expression. On a GER
tain occasion an ambassador from Epirus, on
a diplomatic mission, was shown by the king
over his capital. The ambassador knew OF
the mOnarchs fame-knew that, though nom.
inally only king of Sparta, he was ruler Of
Greece-and he had looked to see massive
walls rearing aloft their embattled towers
for the defense of the city, but found moth
ing of the kind.
He marveled much at this, and spoke of it
to the king. Sire" said he, Il have visited
most of the principal towns, and | find no
walls reared for defense. Why is thisl" "In-
deed, Sir Ambassador" replied Agesilaus,
thou caust not have looked carefully Come
with me tomorrow morning and will show
you the walls OF Sparta" Accordingly, on
the following morning, the king led his guest
out upon the plain, where his army was drawn
up in full array, and pointing proudly to the
patriot host, he said: There thou beholdest
the walls of Sparta-ten thousand men and
every man brlck."-Montreal Star

A breathing Cave.

In the range of mountains in western
North Carolina known as the Fork Range"
a most singular phenomenon exists. 1t is the
''Breathing Cave In the summer months
a current Of air comes from it so strongly
that person cannot walk against it, while
in the winter the rush of air inward is just
as great.
The cool air from the cave in summer Is
felt sometimes for miles in direct line from
the mouth of the cave. At times a most I'M
pleasant odor is emitted from the current
from dead animals sucked in and killed by COM
ing in violent contact with the walls. The loss
of cattle and other stock in that section dur
ing the winter months is always great, and is
accounted for in this way: They range too
near the mouth of the cave, and the current
carries them in.
At times when the change from inhalation
to exhalatiOn begins, the air is filled with
hairs of the various animals; not infrequent-
ly small dry bones have been carried for over
a mile from the mouth of the cave as though
shot from an air gun. The air has been known
to change quite suddenly during exhalation
from cold to quite hot, accompanied by ter
rble roaring and gurgling sound.
Many scientific men have visited the place,
but the phenomenon still remains uneX-
planned; the residents of that section fear a
volcanic eruption. Something is wrong, sure

He Couldn't Carve the Cream.

There was ludicrous episode at the ladies'
reception at the University club some weeks
ago. The members of the club, being in the
main still young and gallant, were devoted
in their attentions to the fair guests, and to
assist in their comfort performed even mental
duties.
Among the hardest workers was John Led
yard Lincoln the young attorney. During
the serving up of the luncheon, seeing one Of
the walters slowly cutting slices of ice cream
from large block, he impatiently seized the
carving knife to accelerate the work Not
knowing that i'll order to cut the cream it is
necessary to dip the knife blade into boiling
water, he whacked away with an air of pom
derous knowledge A moment later he was
in the prediCament of the inexperienced
carver with a tough turkey, but, like a true
hero, refused to surrender. The block of
cream rolled, twisted and squirmed the knife
glanced off harmlessly and John Ledyard
Lincoln grew red in the face. After a des-
perate struggle, at last he gave in conquered
and turned over the shapeless block to the
grinninG waiter, who assumed the carving
process with triumphant air.
But John Ledyard Lincoln learned some-
thing he did not know before-a fact that
may seem strange To his friends. Cincinnati
