Variety in London

Odd conditions are frequently
brought to light in connection with
the boroughs in London. Often op-
posite sides of streets are in diff
ferent boroughs. One pavement
will be Illuminated by incandescent
gas; across the road electric light
is used. The dustbins of the "odds"
are more frequently emptied than
those of the "evens." A child Hv-
ing at No. Al may attend a school
from which No. 42's infants are de-
barred. And in certain districts it
is quite common to see, at the clos
ing hour Of public house on one
side of the road, little groups cross
ing the street to where an extra
half-hour's license permits Of "just

The Rapacious Pike

The pixies reputation for cruelty
and voraciousness is such that it
has been popularity dubbed the
"water wolf" 1t Is probable, how
ever, that many species of sea fish
are equally, If not a great deal
more, rapacious.
Large dogfish, congers, pollack,
cod and bass are especially fero-
cious, while halibut will very often
seize and kill other large fish. An
English angler was playing" large
conger when a huge halibut swan
up to and savagely bit at it-a pro-
ceeding that cost the halibut its
life, for on it making for the
foundered conger a second time the
boatman contrived to gait and haul
it aboard.
There have been many examples
Of pike being found dead, choked
by their own species, and these fish
not infrequently attack another
pike that has been hooked by q
fisherman.

Poet q Pleasant Companion

Matthew Green, an English poet
who was born in 1896 and died in
1877, proved himself a witty and
pleasant companion for his friends
and his employers. While working
in the customs house and wishing
to supply with milk the cats which
were kept there, Green wrote a
successful petition in their name.
At another time when q water
man insulted him as he was bath
ing by calling out, "Quaker" and a
friend asked how his sect could
be detected when he was wearing
no clothes. Green replied, "By
my swimming upstream"

friend of a street flower seller.
One day he missed her from her
