Feeds Cab Horses Sugar


Feeds Cab Horses Sugar
Even the delight of a shopping ex-
pedition for a certain woman, who ad-
mits she would rather shop than eat,
does not make her forget she is a
member of the Bide-a-wee society,
and therefore, a friend of animals Be
fore she leaves her home to go down
town to look at frocks and bonnets she
drops a dozen Jumps of sugar into her
chatelaine bag, and she feeds these to
horses she finds standing in front of
the shops. Indeed, she's as kind to
them as if they were show winners. She
asserts that cab horses she had fed be-
fore entering a shop show signs of joy
full recognition if she speaks to them
when she emerges.
Sealing Wax SuppIants Cord
The old familiar string tied around
a parcel is to give way to sealing wax.
An uptown grocer vouchsafed this in
formation when, instead of tying up
bag of sugar with a string, he fold
ed the edges of the mouth neatly to-
gether and, dipping a stick of red seal
ing wax into a small gas flame nearby
clapped in on the bag, effectually seal
ing it. Just touch the stick to your
package and shove it across the coun-
ter; no bother with cropping for a
string, then a whole minute wasted in
tying up the bundle, while other GUS
toners are standing around looking
impatient Sealing wax is just as
cheap as string, too, and it makes a
neater, handler parcel. The druggists
first began this business OF using seal
ing wax for fastening packages. 1t
proved to be a good thing, and now
dealers in other lines, such as station
ers confectioners and tobacconists, are
taking up the practice. Manufacturers
OF string are already feeling the drop
ping off in the use Of their product and
view the advent Of wax with alarm"
Ferry People Get Wise
Until recently the peculiar arrange
ment of the Jersey City terminal of
the Pennsylvania railroad made it i'm
possible for New Workers. going to the
station to meet or bid their friends
good by to cross and recross the ferry
for single fare, payable on this side
of the river Incoming passengers are
supposed to be entitled TO free passage
over the ferry to New York, and in
consequence no tickets are collected
from persons who board the boats from
the mezzanine floors Of the terminal,
although Jerseyites and others who
pass through the street entrance to the
ferry have to contribute a little paste
board, Now, however, if you are
standing around the train gates wait
ing for the expected relatives or friends
man in unifor msteps up, and beg
ging your pardon, asks If you are going
back to New York. If you are the
suddenness OF his question dlsconcerts
you and you say yes" Then he ten
ders you a ferry ticket and asks for 8
cents.
Catches All the Smoke
AT nearly all of the large dinners
this year a fashlight photograph has
been taken of the feast photographs
being developed and ready for the din
ers by the time the dinner was over
Such a thing has not been allowed be-
fore by the places where the big din.
ners are held. That such photographs
have been taken this year has beer
due to an ingenious contrivance whicf
the fashllght man now has for col
lecting his smoke. This is a large, in
verted bag-like arrangement int
