The Art of Managing a Motor Car.

TUG MI W tudb0S''S q
Although an academy has been es-
tablished in London for teaching the
art of managing motor-car, very few
women, so far, seem anxious to avail
themselves of the opportunity OF be-
coming certified chauffeuses, If such q
word may be used. Men, on the con-
trary, applied at once for enrolment
by the score, while only five or six
ladies came forward for instruction.
Those who have done so, however,
showed surprising quickness in grasp
ing the technical details of an automo-
bile's mechanism Of course, it is
doubtful whether English women pos
sess the nerve requisite for steering a
car under such difficult conditions as
are entailed by crowded roads, sharp
turns, or steep hills. 1t would seem,
however, as if these hindrances to easy
driving have little or no terror for the
phlegmatic Germans, since the cable
grams of few days ago told us that in
Berlin no fewer than three ladies have
already obtained certificates as fully
qualified motorists-no small attain
ment this for country of such con.
sentative views.

Animals Become Insane.

Insanity in the human subject IS
supposed by some to have no ana
logue in the lower animals. Yet many
cases. according to DR.. Sneilson. will
lead to the permanent loss of self
control. Cattle driven from the coun-
try through crowded town will often
work themselves into frenzy
Horses have gone mad on the battle
field. At Balaklava an Arabian horse
turned on his attendant. threw him
down and. kneeling on him. attacked
him like an infuriated dog. An in
stance is related of docile horse sud.
denly going mad on a hot day. Every
thing that came in its way it seized
in it's teeth and shook as a terrier
does rat. A scientist OF authority
even goes so far as to prove by what
aDpears to be incontestable evidence
that cats, dogs and monkeys have been
observed to have delusions very SINH
lar to those of insane people.-Lon.

BEATING the Expressman.

They haggled for ten minutes over
the cost of moving. The woman claim
ed that the job was worth only 81, in
GLIDING a tip. The expressman insist
ed upon getting $2.25. At last the
woman won out
"All right" said the man. IF you
won't pay any more, you won't" So
he piled the trunks, the books and the
bookcases into the wagon and drove
away.
The woman was iubilant. Che told
everybody in the house she was leav-
ing about how she had at last got the
best of that autocrat. the New York
expressman, and when she got to the
home of her friend with whom she
was going to live boasts of her
achievement still trembled on her
tongue.
Excuse me minute" said her
friend. Before you go on | want to
tell You about that expressman. He
got your things here without a scratch.
He was so very nice and careful that
gave him a quarter. He asked for it..
He said you expected me to give it to
him; that you would have given it
yourself only you were short of change
and couldn't spare it. ] hope it was
all right Now, go ahead and tell your
story"
