styles his Invention the electric horse, and he
insists that no other motor for carriages can
equal it.
In the body of this not uncomely quadruped
there are stored, not armed warriors, but
peaceful electric accumulators. The ordinary
horse requires goodly ration OF oats before
he will do long journey; all this horse needs
in a few volts of electricity.
Two conductors transmit electric energy TO
a motor, which is placed between the legs OF
the animal, and power is then transmitted to
the hind wheel by means Of a chain similar to
the one used on bicvcles But tf1s is not all.
II it were the horse would be a mere dummy.
This horse, however, can walk, trot, amble,
pace, gallop aud even oaracole. ---g.
The automaton on the box-seat has only to
manipulate the reins cunning.y in order to
produce any desired motion. These reins COM
municate with the front wheel and are the
mcst important part of the whole contrivance.
They must be managed properly, or other
wise the electric horse Will prove as I'M
manageable as anv living Bucephalus.
The tail, too, plays an important part 1t
seems that the animal will not trot unless the
tail is moved a good deal to one side, and that
it Will not gallop unless the tail is removed
altogether Any one, therefore, who desires
to become an expert driver of The electric
horse must carefully study the various uses OF
the reiEs and tail.

AN ELECTRIC HORSE.

Horseless carriag es. while favored by many
persons, are equally an eyesore to many
others. These latter are, as a rule, ardent low
ers of horses. and it naturally pains them to
think that the day is quickly coming when
the horse, as beast of burden, viii be rather
an unusual sight in any large city. The for
mer. as a rule, have never cared much for
horses, and consequently they naturally well
come any mechanical contrivance which is
able to take the place and do the work OF the
animal.
Mr.. Blackmore. English inventor, has
been trying to make peace between the two
factions. and with that object in view he has
patented one-horse electric carriage, of
which an illustration is here given. This con-
trivance, he claims, should be welcomed by
all, both by those VINO want a horse as well as

MUST HAVE A MUSTACHE,


The soldier who serves Queen Victoria must
have his upper lip covered with sweeping
mustaches, and II they are "tawny," rs the
novelists say, SO much the better. The COM
manding officers in the British army have
lately received from the War Department a
memorandum which reads: GA report having
been received in the department TO the effect
that 1T is getting the fashion in some regi-
ments for young officers TO shave the upper
lip, the Secretary of State for War requests
that you will be so good as to take such steps
as you may think necessary to insure the pro-
visions OF the Queens regulations. being ad-
heredto." Which is official sanction that the
mustache Is the correct facial adornment for
the British soldier.
1t was not always So For many years after
the Han0verians came in neither mustache
nor beard were permitted on an Englishman's s
foreigner and viewed with suspicion. It is
said the mustache worn by Prince Albert wa
the cause for the distrust with which some of
Queen Victoria's subjects always regarded for
her consort
With the Hanoverians the outer life at
court was hampered by strict rules that were
so rigid as to be absurd. For years no man
he wore beard. This rule was In force so
late as the Sepoy rebellion in India,
and when one OF the native Indian
heroes went to England to receive per-
cials raised the question whether he
could be presented, for he wore a patriarch al
beard aud 1t was impossible to ask him to
shave, as in his own country the beard was q
mark of distinction and shaved face is the
sign OF an inferior caste. The Queen was de-
sirous OF receiving him, but she debated a
week before venturing 10 transgress the court
rule Finally, however, she broke it, and the
absurd custom was done away with. The
Prince of Waes Is responsible for the fashion
OF wearing boards in private life. Like all
Guephs he has a recedlng chin and adopted
the beard to hide the defect. No monarch in
Europe now wears full beard with the ex-
ception Of the venerable King Of Denmark.

CIVILIzING WILD INDIANS.

"Does it pay to take the blanket Indian
in hand and force him into self-support ?'
To Judge from the success of the expert
ment made by Y. E. StottIer of the United
States army, acting Indian agent at
Mescalero. n. Mex, an answer in the
affirmative must be forthcoming. Two
years ago Mr.. Sottler was placed in
charge of Apaches 455 strong. occupying
a reservation of 700 square m lies in South
ern New Mexico. His experiences, as re-
lated in the Outlook, are repleIe with in
terest.
When the agent arrived there he found
the red men "liying in tepees and brush
shelters on the sldehills in filth and
squaior, contented 10 be fed and clothed.
determined not to work, and bitterly op-
posed to any suggestion from their agent
looking 10 betterment of their condition.
Long hair, paint, the breechclout ana
blanket were their principal adornments." :"
All the wagons and agricultural imple-
ments and clothing which had been sup
piled by the Government, and all Of which
the Aoaches despised, had been sold by
them for song TO hangers-on of the res
ervation. "Tne situation" says Mr..
Stottler, ''had evidently been handled
from the beginning from a so-called hu-
manitarian and not from business stand
point" Moral suasion with the Indian
had proved failure. The aborirines haze
anything that smacks of white mans
ways, and to coax Indians only makes
them feel that the white man is inferior
and afraid of them. The agent adopted
tue motto. mo work, no rations." and
with the intention of lavishly using
force or pressure, started in to accomplish
something"
Indians were assigned to the task of max
ing public improvements, digging irriga-
ton bitches, fencing in their land, ETC.,
and the men who refused to work went
hungry. He put stop to their manufac.
ture OF liquor and com pelle6 each head OF
family 10 erect cabin on his land. He
dealt with individuals and put an end to
treating with chiefs as spokesmen.

declares, "the Indians wildness lay in
their long hair, which the returned edu-
Gated Indians wore, because, as they
boasted, lit made them Wild" The

again. Those who cut their hair were re-
warded with generous supplies. The In
