Unfortunately the public prefers to tip

A curiously marked stone has been
found at Colebrooke, Deyonshire, Eng
land, in the middle Of a wheat rick,
and biologists who have seen it ex-
press the opinion that the markings
on the stone were caused by rats using
it to grind their teeth, which other
wise grew to an inordinate length.
Some rats have been known to starve
owing to their teeth getting too long.

MORE WOMEN USE cAss.
Cheaper Cab Fares One Cause, pearer
Erocks Another.

Frocks Another.
Probably more women In New York
use cabs now than ever before, this
being due In some measure to the
present day cheaper cab fares, but
still more perhaps to the now greater
than ever. costliness Of women's APP
parel. which prompts a woman caught
out In a shower to pay so cents or
a dollar or 30 for cab rather than
take the chance Of damaging an ex-
pensive garment.
Naturally the cabman, who 1t
might be mentioned is not dull abou.
anything, is quite alert to this in.
creased readiness OF women to hire
cabs, and he is far from slow in
taking advantage OF It, Unlike tho
farmer, the cabman reaps in rainy
weather; and his best harvests he
gathers In those heavy showers that
come up unexpectedly on clear days
and promise when they once &c.
started to continue in settled rain.
In these circumstances, from where
ever he Is If idle the cabman starts
for the ladies, and he knows just
where to find them.
Here. for instance. is a shopping
store over whose front entrance Ia
great glass awning extending to
the curb; big awning with room
enough for scores OF people under
1t, and this space is now pretty we'll
occupied by women in fine clothes
who had come out under bright skies

There are fifty women here per-
