One OF the recent extensions OF the
use OF electricity II In conquering a
balky or lazy horse A Western Penn
sylyRnla gentleman owned a horse
which be said was worth 1000, pro
yided he could cure him OF baking. It
was suggested that he try electricity.
He purchased fhroc-volt battery and
connected II by wires with the BIT and
the cruppar The battery was placed
In the road-cnrt TO which the horse was
attached. AT first the horse refused to
move. but stood with all four feet
braccd. Then the owner touched the
button connected with the battery.
When the horse felt the shock he snort
ed, jumped, and began TO move on at a
lively pace. Every day for week he
was given the same lesson. His owner

that now he never balks, bites or kicks

arms of big, black-bearded man. The
fellow aimed blow at her with a sand
bag, but she lodged and closed with
him. Her first grab, woman-like, per

her repeatedly. but she escaped serious

throat in one hand and the sandbag

sandbag, which she seized and pro
ceeded to use vigorously on the unwel-

Ugly on the Wheel.

AS a rule American women are pre-
pared to blindly follow French styles,
but most of them hope the day is far
distant when they are likely to see
their daughters and themselves ar
rayed In the unsightly plated bicycle
boomers to be seen daily on the Paris
bouleyards. They accentuate all the
ungraceful lines and the prettiest wo-
men look ugly in them. The riders in
Paris bend forward at sharper angle
than they do here and this alone rem
ders them ungraceful. 1t is a matter
of wonder that French women are so
unattractive on the wheel, as feminine
France has always stood for charm
and style.

Has Twelve pressmakers.

1t Is well known that the German
Empress is an ideal housekeeper, as
well as an ideal wife and mother Her
dread of waste goes so far that the
suits of her elder children are cut down
to fit the younger boys, and her own
court dresses are altered again and
again, so as not to be recognized when
they are worn at any court functions.
Yet 1t is also reported that an army Of
twelve dressmakers is always at work
for the Empress, and that it is IN
creased TO over thirty whenever the
Empress is about to start on a journey.
New gowns would, after all, be less ex-
pensive, since the great Berlin artist in
