New York's Cab Drivers.

A driver has to have a license. That

shall, grants n upon the payment Of
Is cents and two written testimonials
Of honesty. A man may come out OF
Sing Sing, whittier he has been sent
for highway robbery or stoning the
minister's cat or any other crime, If
he presents two greasy letters-one OF
any Jones and the other Of any Smith
stating that he is an honest fellow he
will get a license. No inquiry IL made.
His references are never looked NJ.
Indeed, If you are a desperate criminal
guilty Of murder Or failure to pay
alimony-you can do no better nan
take out a license and hide on top Of a
cab. So into the business drift all
sorts and conditions Of rogues. Under

Steering the Ship.

The work of steering a great ship,
even with the aid Of modern machin-
cry, is much more delicate than one
would imagine. The larger and faster
the ship the greater Is the difficulty.
It is not enough to hold the wheel In
the same position to keep the ship on
her course, for the wind and waves
and the currents of the ocean tend
constantly to knock the ship of her
course. The great wall Of steel for
the hull may be 700 feet long and sixty
feet high, offers a broad target for
the wind and waves. The art in steer
ing is to humor the ship to these forces
and when she is detected bring her
back quickly to her course. II you
could watch the pinnacle, especially
In bad weather. you would see the
needle Of the compass constantly shift
Ing from side to side, which means
that the great steel prov Is not going
forward in a perfectly straight line

The Father Of An Novels.

A great branch Of literature. I'm.
doubtedly the most widely popular and
one In which England showed the way
to the world, is the novel. In the year
174O readers were delighted with a
new kind Of book, a prose romance
not Of legend, but Of their own day
and manners. It was the pioneer
novel, was called Pamela" the work
Of Samuel Richardson, a London print.
or, and the great success It met with
room brought forth a host Of others.

Senator EIkins Files Long List OF
Railroad Statistics.

Washington, Feb. 26,- Senator Ell
kins, Of West Virginia, has just com
pleted and filed in the senate is minor
ity report on the railroad rate law 1t
presents comprehensive history Of the
economic development OF American
railroads, together with exhaustive
tables which tend to show constantly
decreasing freight and passenger rate,
and the relation between such rates and
the price of commodities and cost of
labor.
"The average passenger rate," says
the report, advanced slightly from
1870 to 1880. During the next "a years
there was decline equal to 1875 per
cent Of the average for 1880. The net
decline from 1870 to 1890 averaged
1914 per cent. The decline in the av-
erage rate per mile per ton of freight
was 5s,7l per cent during the years
from 1870 to 1904, the rate for the
earlier year being about two and one
half times that of the latter, and the
net saving to the shippers averaged
IL 90 mills per ton per mile"
The report says that the cost of
transportation in 1904 was nearly $2,-
OO0, 900, 900 less than it would have
been had the rates for 1870 still pre-
vailed.
