It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating tbat their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary lift, the puncture resisting cjualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming ail suction. The regular price of these tins is $8,50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $4 So per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.O.0. on approval. You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as represented.

The above is rather an odd heading. It was used in the Chicago Record- Herald for the first time May 18, 1906, in an article which referred .to me as follows: "Elgin is the home of Prof. F. A. Leach, who is becoming prominently known the country over by reason of his remarkable magnetic cures. His is believed to be the most valuable pair of hands in the world today." It bronght ailing persons to" me from all of the central states. I am using it very generally now in my public an­ nouncements. It will appeal to you if you are one who has tried for health and,every practitioner has so far failed in your case. When I was two years of ( « iievfr ItUtd P*in age it was discovered that my hands would alleviate pain. Not until I was 17 did I know that I could cure diseases of all kinds. At that time and ever since, by merely touching the hand.l can tell where every ache is in your body, the parts diseased, when the disease first started and the cause. - Over 300 children, given up to die, have been cured by me and are now strong and healthy. In writing for my free testimonial booklet address mail to my permaneut offices, Suite 2, Spurhng Block, Elgin, and it will be given my personal atten­ tion. Chicago offices for treating are in Kimball Hall, Jackson Blvd. and Wabash Ave., and are attended by me Tuesday, Thursday aud Saturday after­ noons of each week.

If a lion and a strong horse were to pull In opjtosite directions, the horse would pull the lion backward with comparative ease. But If the lion were hitched behind the horse and facing In the same direction and were allowed to exert his strength in backing he could easily pull the horse down upon hia haunches or drag him across the ring, so much greater is his strength when exerted backward from the hind legs than in forward pulling.--Chambers' Journal. * Th« Nuraary of 8tatesmen.

In tho northern hemisphere Argelauder has registered 324,000 stars down to the nine and one-half magnitude, with the aid of the best photometric data. Agnes M. Clerk's "System of the Stars" gives the sum of the light of these northern stars as equivalent to 1.440 of full moonlight, and the total light of all stars similarly enumerated in both hemispheres to the number of about 900,000 Is roughly placed at 1.180 of the lunar brightness. The scattered light of still fainter celestial bodies is difficult to evaluate. By a photograph-, lc method Sir William Abney in 181id rated the total starlight of both hem­ ispheres as 1.100 of full moonlight, and Professor Newcomb in 1901 from visual observations of diffused sky radiance fixed the light power of all stars at Just 728 times that of Oapella, or 1.8SNof the light of the full moon. It is not certain, however, that the sky would be totally dark if all stars were blotted out Certain processes make the upper atmosphere strongly lumi- uous at times, and one never b# •ure that light is absent. Knives Are Tiny Saws. Knives, no matter how carefully sharpened, are little saws. The grind­ ing away of the steel, done by the stone, ts not an even work, but when the edge gets thin Is a process of tear­ ing away tiny bits of steel by the grit of the stone. This tearing makes the teeth. A flue stone makes flue teeth, a coarse stone coarse teeth. A carving knife used on meat is sharpened on a coarse stone or a steel and has coarse teeth, although Its edge ts thick. Its action in parting the meat Is .more that of a saw than a fine wed go. No matter how soft it may be it will not cut easily itnless it is drawn over the meat, and not simply pressed down. A razor, however, with Its paperlike edge, will cut Into flesh with a simple pressure It is a wedge dividing the fibers of flesh just as a wedge of iron divides the fibers of the log It splits. But razor is a saw, too, only as it is ground on the finest stones and later finished with a leather strap, its teeth are very fine Indeed--hundreds and hundreds to the inch of blade.--C. H. Clatuly in St. Nicholas. Origin of Curtain Calls. The first curtain call took place on the evening of Feb. 20, 1743. On that memorable evening Voltaire's "Me- rope" was performed for the first time In Paris. The author was known to the Paris public, but nothing that they had seen of his had pleased them so much' as "Merope," and the enthusiasm found expression iu noisy demands to see the author. In a letter Voltaire says tbia of the Incident:" "They dragged me out and led me by force to the l>ox occu­ pied by the Duchesse de Villars and her daughter-in-law. The whole thea­ ter seemed to have gone mad--all shouted to the duchesse to kiss me. The noise became so great that the lady finally obeyed. So I was, like Alain Chartler, publicly kissed, but ho was asleep, while I was wide awftke." Now authors answer similar calls by appearing before the curtain. They gain in so far that they can be seea better by their audience, but they must dispense with the duchesse's kiss--at least in public.--Berliner Tageblatt. Pronunciation of "Theatre." If "theatre" was originally written "theater " in English, has its pronunci­ ation also varied among the orthodox-- that Is to say, was there ever a time when correct speakers said "theayter," as many of the incorrect still do? There is no direct evidence in verse of a serious kind for such pronunciation so far as we know. Shakespeare cer­ tainly pronounced the word as we do now, says a London journal. But since "theayter" does really represent a long "a" of the original Greek and Latin It is tr»t easy to understand how the vul­ gar could have blundered on to it of their own accord. It would have been more comprehensible if they had turned an orthodox "theayter" Into "theater," just as the second "ft" in "Amasis" goes too often popularly shortened now. The French language has hail to mark the length of the "a" In "theatre" by giving it a rather Irregular circumflex accent • A Memorable Day.
