THE LONDON cABBY
His Job Is Poor Mans at the
 Best

His Job Is a Poor Mans at the
 There are in London 2,711 cab pro- prietors, and of these 2,224 own fewer than five vehicles As you see, 1t is a poor mans industry. There is only one large company, the London Improved Cab Go, which owns 500 cabs; the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, who was once large owner, went out of busl- ness. In the main, then, the small pro- prietor-the ''mush"-who owns a few cabs and drives one himself, controls the trade. The average price for hir- ing cab is F and 3 pence a day. In addition the cabman has to pay the yard fees. He gets two horses day and is usually fourteen hours on the box His license costs him shillings year. The tax of E2 on the cab and the 15 shilling wheel duty are paid by the owner. Taking it day in and day out, the cabby makes about 3 sh1lll1gs a day. IL the season he may take Ill l more money, but as the hire IS raised on him 1t comes to the same thing. II he is not content-and there is no req son why he should be-he does not grumble unduly. Every day in London 10000 people ride in cabs. Of course, there is friction, and there is deal of | noisy quarreling over fares, but so far as my experience goes, the cabby is us- 1 ually right in his estimate of the dis tance he has travelled and the money I that is due him. The cab horses are good lot. They are worked six hours day on an average. About three years in a hanson, however, will do up the best of them. Then they drift down to the four wheelers A melancholy ve- hicle, that. You remember, do you not, 1Gregers' in Ibsen's "Wild Duck" ," whose unhappy destiny it was to be ai- ways thirteenth at table? It Is the 1 gloomy function of the four-wheeler to follow with the luggage" At best 1t never rises higher than the function of freighting home roysterers and bad l husbands, night .wasters and cordial, ignoble girls. A melancholy destiny.
 The driver of four-wheeler pays less cab rent-6 or 7 shillings day-but
 his earning power is less than that or
 the aristocratic of the craft, he Tn the dickey. Usually he is weedy, ofd man. who has looked out on life, through red-lidded eyelids so long and has come to know it so we'll that the
 milk of human kindness in him is mere
 curds and whey. He is essentially a creature of fog and night. Mankind, as he knows it, is either coming away from a railway station with too much
 luggage, or going home-sodden or riotous with too much drink. Why
 should he have confidence in his fellow man? He and not Edgar Saltus should
 have written the "Philosophy of the
 Disenchantment.' His melancholy
 destiny it is to go through life trying
 to detect pewter half crowns.-from

The Hickory Nut.

One of the best known trees is the shagbark or scaly bark hickory, so called because the bark has disposi- ton to peel off in long, loose strips from the wood. This tree is found growing from New Hampshire to South Carolina. It's wood is very elastic and is said to be hard as iron. The nuts are whitish in color. The shagbark sometimes grows to the height of eighty or ninety feet, the leaves meas uring about twenty inches. Varieties of hickory are the white heart, or com mon hickory; butternut, or swamp hickory; pig or hog nut hickory, and the nutmeg hickory. Of the pignut hickory brooms are sometimes made. The wood of the common hickory is esteemed for mechanical purposes and for fuel, as it gives bright, cheerful blaze. H

Pictures Drawn I'm Fire.

Dissolve saitpeter in cold water till the liquid is completely saturated with it. This can be seen by the fact that bits of the saltpeter will at last refuse to dissolve. Dip nne brush or point ed stick into the solution and draw the outline of an animal or any other de- sired figure on a piece of thin paper. Use paper that has no printing on It..
 Let the paper dry thoroughly The picture will be invisible then, or al most so. Now hold it hat, light a match, blow 1t out and touch part of the drawing with the glowing end.
 The saltpeter will catch nre at once and the tiny flame will burn all along the lines of the drawing. leaving the paper intact.

A AYxsterx of the Sea.

Sink a bottle of champagne in the ocean right side up, and 1t will come up full of salt water instead of cham pagne. Yet the cork is there sound as ever. What happens evidently Is this: The pressure of sea water equals about one atmosphere for every thirty feet in descent. When the bottle is down 5000 feet the pressure is 100 atmospheres, or about 1,500 pounds to the square inch. The cork is sQueez- ed together by that tremendous force, all the air it contains is pressed out, and 1t becomes considerably smaller than the neck of the bottle, thus ad- hitting the salt water.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Left and RaGht Hands.


 You boys and girls have already learned that your eye sees objects up- side down, the head being downward, as 1t were, and the impression being reversed in the brain. This appears strange to you, doesnt it? But it is not more so than that about which am going to tell you.
 Take a soft pencil in your right hand and write a word upon your forehead; then look in a mirror to see what you have produced. You know that when writing is reflected in mirror the characters read backward in the re- f1ect1on. se..
 If you wonder why your playmates laugh when they see what you have written, look at yourself in the mir TOT. You will find the word reflected so that the letters are produced to- ward the right, when they should read to the left, so it will be backward upon your forehead
 Now write upon a piece of paper and place this on your forehead. This time the writing, when reflected, will appear to be produced from right to left
 Another amusing experiment consists in taking pencil in each hand and in trying to write or draw a design with both at the same time. The move ments of the two hands must be simul- taneous.
 The left hand will make exactly the same movements as the right, but in the opposite directions. You will then have two words or designs, bu. one will be just the reverse of the OfhoP gs t l..,a
