LONDON CAB SERVICE.
why 1t LIS the Best and the Cheapes
In the World.

why 1t IA the Best and the Cheapest
In the World.
Everyone knows, either from ex-
perience or hearsay. that the cab serv-
Ice i'll London is the best and cheap
est in the world but few of us know
why. So when | was over there |
made it point to find out"
The woman who occupied the other
seat in the hanson looked as if she
would like to hear the result of his
Investigations. 1T is mainly due" he
continued, Ito the fact that licenses to
drive cabs and buses through the Lon
don streets are hard to get. An appli-
cant must furnish the most satisfac-
tory proofs of his honesty when he
files his application at Scotland Yard
and his references are carefully veri-
fed. Then he undergoes such rigid
examination as to his knowledge OF
streets and localities that but little
more than half the candidates manage
to pull through it. Those who do are
then tested as to their ability to. drive
through the crowded thOrOughfares.
the test being a practical one, with an
inspector of police, who is himself an
expert driver, seated by the side of
the would be Jehu as he threads his
way through the jam. Probably 20
per cent of the applicants come to
grief during this test. as the slightest
infra ction of the rules of the road or
the exercise of bad Judgment in con-
trolling or guiding his horse means
absolute failure. If successful, the
applicant is impressed with the im-
portance of returning all articles left
in his cab to headquarters without de-
lay and told that an attempt to make
excessive charges means the forfeiture
Of his license. The result is compara-
tive safety to the passengers in cabs
and a reasonable certainly that there
will be no attempt upon the cabby's'
part to Overcharge his fare. New

something effective.' ''If you want &

BIRD DOGS.

some of the Almost Human Work
These Clever CANNES Perform.
Roading denotes that a dog is follow
ing a trail toward the birds by their
foot scent, as man in an analogous
manner might follow a flock of sheep
by watching their tracks.
Drawing denotes that a dog is ap-
preaching birds by scent in the air,
as a man might follow flock Of sheep
by the long line of dust lowering over
and around the trail Drawing is con-
sidered much superior manner to
roading 1t is commonly marked by
greater accuracy, quickness of execu-
tion and dash of manner.
Pointing is the stop which the dog
makes when he has definitely located
the birds or when he thinks he has
done so. 1t is the preliminary pause to
accurately determine the whereabouts
of the hidden birds before he springs to
capture. If he misjudges and springs
in the wrong direction, all his pains
and labor come to nothing. In his
training he is encouraged to point, but
is prohibited springing, SO that after q
time he makes his point and holds 1t
stanchly.
If by any act, wiilful or otherwise
he alarms the birds and they take
wing, it is called a flush. If the dog
when going up wind OH game fiushes
the birds, he commits an error. If un-
der certain circumstances he flushes
when going down the wind, the error
may be excused on the ground that be
ing up wind of them it was impossible
to scent them and therefore impossible
to know of their presence.-Outing

A Story of Ceramics

Cervantes once gave a proof that his
generosity was fully equal to his gen
i1s. In the early part of his life he was
for some time a slave III Algiers, and
there he devised a plan to free himself
and thirteen of his fellow sufferers.
One of them traitorously revealed the
design, and they were all brought be-
fore the dey of Algierk. who promised
them their lives on condition that they
revealed the contriver of the plot.
Il was that person. ut once cried
Cervantes. Save my companions and
let me perish alone"
The dey, struck by his intrepidity,
spared his life, allowed him to be ram
somod and permitted him to go home

SEA FLOWERS AS PETS.
The Queer Little Creatures known
an AnenfOneA.


The Qucerest pets in the world are
kept in a beautiful row of clear, fash
ing. roUnG glass tanks on an upper
floor Of Il Iar1c aquarium. AS YOU APP
proach tAe t4HhS yoI behold glowing
little groups of { lor and artistic blend
ing and min%I.n% uI fantastic weeds
and shining Sttnc~. Then when You
peer into the tanks you see what at
first seem to you jest like particularly
handsome and gorgeous flowers grow
ing all over the little r0ckerics. Some
of the flowers look like dainty pink
and white and yellow and purple and
crimson dahlias. Others lo1k almost
like daisies. with lacelille petals.
Others look like little star tOwe"s. I'll
pure white and perfect. These ti9Wc.S
are of all sizes, from tiny ones bar" V
large enough to see to great ones al
most large enough to fill saucer
But if you will watch these flow
ers' for a few minutes you will jump
suddenly, for all at once you will see
one move its petals. Then you will
see another and another do it. Slowly
the petals unfold or contract, with
little jerking movements, sometimes
twining in the water like snakes.
Tap smartly on the table OH which
the tanks stand, and like lightning all
the petals will have disappeared.
These sea flowers are really not flow
ers at all. They are living creatures,
known as sea anemoneS.
For many years scientist has
tended and fed them, and the little
animated flowers actually have come
to know him. When he feeds them. he
puts a little bit of fish on the end of a
long pointed stick and puts it care
fully down into the water until it is
near the anemOnP. 1t did not take long
for the beautiful things to understand
it, and, whereas at first they used to
withdraw their petals and shut up
tightly when the stick approached,
now they twine gracefully and stretch
their dainty arms out as far as they
can go in order to reach it.-LondOn
