ELECTRIC SWORDS.

An Invention which WIN he Viewed with
Bisiayor by European Warriors.
One Of the most interesting features
of modern progress is the influence ON
modes of warfare exercised by scientific
discoveries. The bicycle has been uil-
ized in Germany for mounting troops,
and now we hear Of an electric sword,
Ii will be seen at once that the latter
is an essentially shocking weapon
Strangely enough, it was invented in
Shanghai. The warrior using such a
sword has a battcry-;hat is, OF course,
an electric battery concealed at his
waist. Insulated wires run from the
battery TO the sword. When the point
of the weapon touches an adversary the
latter is paralyzcd. The wielder of the
sword can be said to have made an cleo
tric charge.
There is much that is luxurious and
pleasing I'm the possibilities suggested
bv the Shanghai sword In the first
place. the victims to the weapons are
not hewn down in a bloody death.
They perish neatly and quickly and do
not soil the ground with gore. Ofcourse,
such scientific execution would take
away much that is poctical about a bat
tlc-Gcld. No longer could the roman
GERS revel in such phrases as "rlver' OF
blood" and "gory pools In fact, the
electric sword would offer little more
than an electric brush or an electric
corset as subject for imaginative
writers. But It appeals at once TO the
lovers Of the practical If warfare IS
really n necessary adjunct OF human
existence let us keep as strictly abreast
of the times as possible.
The electric sword is a great advance
on the weapon which has for so many
centuries sprung from It's scabbard to
seek mems vitals. 1t has one great
drawback. however which may retard
IFS popularity. II is apt TO prove fatal
Imagine a French duel fought with cleo
tric swords. Some one would be sure
to meet with disaster and French po-
litcness would be greatly outraged. On
the whole it seems probable that the
81 anghai weapon will not be received
with favor in Europe. The great armed
nations of ,hc continent would feel re-
luctant to place lightning-rods on their
troops. and unless some such prccaution
were taken the electric sword would be

Rabbits Foot.

Rabbits Foot Oil is rapidly coming
to the front as liniment and cure for
the many aches and pains to which
man is heir. 1t is proprietary medi-
cine. it is true, but it is wonderful
medicine for the cures it is intended TO
make. 1t is rot jumped-up curc-all
to run an eplemeral course, but is n
scientific combination of the best
medicines used in linimenis, and so
blended together that no other medi-
cine has ever equalcd it in the happy
effects it produces. W. II. Patterson
& Co. are its manufacturers, and it has
to be tried but once to satisfy one OF
its true merits. Mr.. Patterson took
the blue ribbon upon his Rabbits
Foot Oil and his display also-quitc
an honor achieved and worthy his
