The Boxers.

l.. !. Davies, a missionary who has just returned from Chi-nan-fu, the cap ital of Shangtung province, about 800 miles from Picking, says there are more secret societies in China than in all other countries combined.
 "The Boxers is secret society" said MT. Davies in talking of the present trouble. cover there we know them best as the Great Knives, or the Great Swords, by reason of the cumbersome weapon carried. Now, when they ap- proach an enemy they go through se- ries of movements that remind you of . boxer-side step, throw up their arms, duck their heads to this side and that, jump forward, jump backward. They have been called Boxers for this reason.
 But the odd calisthenics that consti- tute their drill have a double purpose in their eyes. First it makes them in- vulnerable and second their odd mo- tons thoroughly confound the enemy, cast spell over them, hypnotize them. And, being free from being hurt and fortified with the fact that the enemy is incapacitated, the Boxers think their march is to be a series of triumphal processions."

Exchange Checks Afford Residents
 Mild Form of Excitement.

Exchange Checks Afford Residents e
 Mild Form of Excitement.
 Take a seat in any car, walt until the conductor comes for fares, then look at that woman across the aisle or the man beside you. They live in Quakertown. They take from pocket or handbag as the case may be a handful of what look like Boston elevated transfer checks. They sort them over one by one, looking at the back and front of each, then put them away again and hand the conductor a nickel. Watch other passengers on other cars, and you will see the same thing. It will take you a long time to understand it unless some native explains to you the system of exchanges" by which the Union Traction company gets the use of its patrons money, while the pa irons live in daily hope of saving a couple of cents. The people say 1t Is good scheme, most of them, SO have no right to say 1t isn't.
 The idea is this: The railway people will sell you an exchange check when you pay your fare at any. time for 8 cents. The check is good for fare at any time until used, no matter If you keep 1t four years, but it is only good on some line of cars that runs across the line you buy the check from and only at intersection of streets where the lines cross. For folks who travel day after day on certain lines 1t Is a great scheme to save money, but for folks who acquire the exchange habit without using any particular lines of cars regularly 1t resembles lottery. You run chances and take big odds. So firmly have the Philadelphia folks be- come entangled In the meshes of this system that specially designed pocket books are built for storing the slips, with special arrangements for sorting them over. Watch any Philadelphia man as he throws open his coat, and four times out of five you will see pro- truding from one of his upper vest pockets a dozen or two of the exchange slips.
 If you see a woman on bargain day with fat pocketbook. you may rest assured that she has 1t stuffed with the same slips, in the hope that she can use one of them before she gets home, and the chances are she won't have one to fit. Philadelphia people who are specially friendly to you will some times give you a couple of their collec- ton of exchanges, and your troubles begin when you try to use one.-Phila- delphia Letter in Boston Transcript.
