AN IDEAL VEHICLE.
Great Advantages of the Electromo-
lilo.

bic.
One great advantage OF the electro
mobile over automobiles propelled by
gasolene or steam power is its sim
plicity of operation. Except for the
matter of steering, running an electro.
mobile is exactly as simple as running
a trolley car. The driver usually sits
on the left side of the seat. the con-
troller handle in his left hand and
the steering bar in his right hand. The
brake is operated by one foot press
ing a pin with either foot. Either a
steam or gasolene automobile requires
the driver to be a pretty good steam
engineer, as water gauges, steam indi-
Gators and fuel tanks must be watched
while running the machine. A recent
lecturer on the subject, referring to
the above statements, observed that in
the operation of an electromobile only
10 per cent of the skill required to
run it was needed on the road. while
80 per cent of the work, such as charg-
ing batteries, cleaning, etc, was ex.
pended on the vehicle while standing
in the stable. He further stated that
where the steam or gasolene automo-
bile is concerned these figures are re.
versed. Considering its short radius
of operation, usually from twenty-five
to forty miles, the electromobile has
come to be regarded as the ideal We
hicle for city use. 1t will be but a few
years, it is believed, before electric
charging stations will be numerous all
over the country, and then the electro
mobile will take its place With the
steam and gasolene vehicles as tour
ing automobile.

"SqueezfrG''
in China
81 SSts 81 20 g e NS q MaE

A curious instance of the exploits
of the Chinese secret societies is fur
nished by a European who is familiar
with the country. China, he says, is
honeycombed with secret societies. 1t
is practically the exception for a
Chinaman not to belong to one of
these associations, not all of which,
however, are intended to serve such
mischievous ends as those aimed at by
the Boxers. Many OF the societies are
comparatively harness, and much re-
semble the guilds of medieval Eu-
rope. Almost every trade and calling
has its secret society. The occult
power welded by these bodies is ex-
perienced by residents in China In
connection with their domestic serv-
ants. The bepigtailed cooks and
buffers are adopts in the art of lining
their pockets at their masters ex-
pense, their favorite practice being to
overcharge their employers in con-
nivauce with the tradesmen. The trou-

They made their escape while the
youngest scion OF the house Of Malone
was being put to bed upstairs. Down
through the dusk, between the rows of
struggling gooseberry bushes that
caught at her gown, out into the path
around the wheat field slIirting the
corn, grandma skurried like a little
gray rabbit. And there. on the high
road was Billie waiting for her-Billie,
kindly encouraging, swelling with the
Importance of the adventure. How he
did strive to restrain her impetuosity.
How he did explain that they had lots
of time. that the seats were already
secured, that she would be tired out
before she got there. But neither
speech nor movement was to be regard
ed in the exhilaration of that delicious
experience. How sweet the green things
smelled with the dew on them!
All, never would the memory OF that
night fade-that "witching, wonderful
night" The entrance into the lively
town, the sight of the domed canvas
tent, the hurrying crowds Of pleasure
seekers. the lighted shops, the smell of

bic is that there is nothing for it but
to pay this tax with resignation. 1t
is useless to discharge a servant who
habitually makes you pay more than
the market price for your meat, vege-
tables and other supplies. His secret
society knows to a cent the amount
OF the squeeze" in which you have
been mplcted-"squeeze" being the
suggestive pigeon-English expression
for the illegitimate profits in question.
The new servant is informed by the
society of the squeeze" extracted by
his predecessor, and with impertur-
bable impudence he will continue to
levy precisely the same toll. In the
unlikely event of his having ieanings
toward honesty, the servants secret
society would wreak dire vengeance
on him for his treachery to his order.
The amount of the squeeze" varies
with each employer. 1t is regulated
in the main by the extortion submitted
to by the resident on his arrival in
the country.

Twenty-Oue Years Ago the Prince Inn
periaI Was Slain by ZuIus. 6
It is 81 years ago that General Bul
Ter, then a colonel commanding 4
detachment of the Frontier Ligh
Horse, saw one day. as he was stroll
ing leisurely near his camp in Zulu
land, four men galloping wildly to
ward him. The foremost horseman
was Lieutenant Carey, the three 9TH
ers his escort. They brought the
news that prince imperial OF France
had been killed by the ZulUs. Butler
sent the cavalry brigade at daylight
the next morning to recover the body.
When they came to the place where
Carey and his men had been sur
prised by the natives they found the
horribly mutilated body Of oead
trooper, and a few yards further on
the body of the prince. He had the
marks of many spear thrusts in MS
body, but was not mutilated in any
way. Round his neck was a thin gold
chain, and slung upon it was a minia-
ture Of his mother, ex-Empress Eu-
genie, and a tiny gold reliquary con-
tanning a fragment Of the true cross
The relic was given by Pope Leo III
to Charlemagne on the day when he
crowned the great F:ankish lord en-
peror of the west. Since then dynasty
after dynasty OF French monarchs
had worn that scrap Of gold and wood
as a talisman. And as q talisman the
Zulus regarded it. and they stayed
their savage hands above the poor
slain lad.-Utica Globe.
