ELECTRIC cans IN AMERICA.
Placed ON the Market at Hartford, AM
Are 'EFOoI Proof"

Placed ON the Market at Hartford, and
Are Fool Proof
Detroit Free Press.
Two electric phaetons have been placed
on the market in Hartford, CT, and many
more are under way. The street railroad
and the third rail are not likely to be
crowded out of public favor at once, how
ever; for the price of the carriage has been
fixed at $1,000 The cost of maintenance
and operation should be much less than
the cost of keeping pair of horses, how
strong case for the utility of the new We
hicle. OF course it can be used for the
present only by those who have access to
charge the storage battery which furnishes
the power.
No special skill is required for directing
the new possibility of riding at the rate of
ten or even fifteen miles an hour in a
safe and comfortable carriage with no
horses to be looked after, will prove
great attraction to many people. 1t is
only necessary that there should be good
roads in order to make long summer trips
In such carriages. There will soon be cleo
trical stations, if there are not enough al
ready, at such intervals as to make it
possible for anyone to travel all over the
New England states in an electric carriage.
Upon a probable average run of twenty
miles a day, the expense of operation of
these carriages would vary from 10 cents
to % cents a day.
The carriage will run about thirty or
thirty-five miles without recharging, and
hour The company says its carriage is
fool proof" and that any one who can
drive horse can easily run their vehicle.
Before the carriage leaves the shops it is
subjected to a variety of running tests in
which 1t encounters every sort of obstacle
that it could meet with in actual use and
is subjected to strains to reveal any weak
ness of the structure. The carriages are
available in the most severe weather, and.
while their radius of action is, of course
necessarily reduced. six or eight inches of
heavy snow is no obvious obstacle, and the
same is proved to be true of mud.
Nc, rheostat is required for the operation
of the carriage. The motor is series
wound, and the highest speed is produced
by putting the storage cells and motor field
in multiple. The batteries are formed
in four units of eleven cells each. These
are twelve inches in width by one and one
half inches interior width, so that the
eleven combined cells fill box about one by
two feet. These four boxes are slid into
the battery chamber from the rear, and
each one weighs little over two hundred
pounds. so that two men are required to
lift them into place. The total weight of
the four is placed at about $50 pounds The
total weight of the carriage is given as
about 900 pounds

And drifting perfume SHOWS our dear retreat;
The FREELY snuffs his lamp regretfully,
Till twilight drapes the ancient rustic seat.

And from a careless window, LiIlian's song

And all the garden walk is gorifed
And She is here; her whispered words. the touch
OF her soft hand in mine; the flashing thrill
From heart to heart that loves her overmuch
For bashful telling, so must needs be still.
And, as we dreaming sit, she softly sings
OF love and apple blossoms, and the eyes
Fill with .unutterable questionings,
And Love translates our sweet soul-said replies.

Mid tear-wet musings sit hearthstone by
And start her little chair to rocking, so

Smiling for sweet contentment in the glow,

And sometimes, when the light is low, we play
That she is sleeping for little while,
And try to romp, the dear old joyous way;
Then, breathless, wait for her awak ming smile.

A STRANGE CASE OF APHAs1A.
Extraordinary Condition of a Patient
in Bellevue Hospital.

New York Special in Philadelphia North

One of the most extraordinary cases
of aphasia ever known to physicians

robust health. He walks about Ward 10,
where he is a patient of Dr. Carolan, and

still he remains al unknown man." for
he has not the power to tell or write his
name.
This curiously-aff1cted man walked into
Bellevue Hospital on May 4, and by signs
tried to convey the idea that he wanted
treatment. His manner and his inability to
speak intelligently suggested that he was
suffering from alcoholism, and he was as
signed to the inebriates' ward. While
there it was discovered that the man had
an indentation or depression nearly an inch
deep, and about the same length. at the
top of his skull at the right side. The
great gaping hole has the appearance of
an old wound, probably caused by a blow
from a sharp instrument, which had pene-
trated the skull. The hitherto supposed
alcoholic patient was then transferred to
Ward 49, and DR.. Carolan diagnosed the
case as one of aphasia, probably the re-
suit of apoplexy following an injury to the
brain.
When l saw this strangely constituted
man this morning he had not yet risen

the man how he felt. He smiled and made
an effort to reply. A faint sound issued
from his lips, which moved slightly then

Oh. rosebud. lovely rosebud,
What thoughts you do beget,
AS you awake. al morning break,
With tears of Nature wet!
But when the sunbeams smile on you
They vanish like dream;
Each crystal drop is swallowed up
Within golden beam.
Oh, rosebud, fairest rosebud.
The breezes Ger you sigh;
They whisper softly as they pass
Your queenly presence by.
Your fragrance or their wings they bear
Like nectar by the bee,
But you they may not take away,
For you belong to me.
Oh, rare. and radiant rosebud,

The tender thought with which you're fraught
Had being in your birth.
Among your sweet companions
You blossom the star
The fairest flower in summers bower,
Here in lands afar.
Oh, rosebud, sweetest rosebud,
Upon the breast of June,
With drifts of flowers at her feet,
And Nature all in tune
How exquisite the loveliness
That makes her lovely too,
For beauty rare with her you share.
And each to each is true!

money quickly is the prey she is seeking
No doubt the seller often considers that the
