brains isn’t he ?” Knowso : “ Yes, and 
he is poor, too.”— Life.

Lady Purciiaskk : “ Will you guaran- 
t 3 e that this parrot will not swear ?” 
Birdseller : “ Why, no, ma’am, not unless 
I know what kind of a family it is going 
into.”— New York World. 
Hoax : “ Why is it when we are look¬ 
ing for a thing that we always find it in 
the last place?” Joax: “ I suppose it’s 
because we always stop looking after we 
have found it.”— Philadelphia Record. 
“ England is a very wet country,” 
said the tourist who had just returned. 
“True enough,” replied the man who 
had never been out of his native country. 
“ I understand the present reign began 
in 1837.”— Pittsburgh Chronicle. 
Nodd : “ My father-in-law and I have 
bought a horse and carriage together.” 
Todd: “How do you manage about 
dividing up the expenses ? ” Nodd : 
“ Easy enough. He keeps the horse and 
I keep the carriage.”— New York World. 
Mrs. Yerger: “Tommy, do you want 
some nice peach jam ? ” Tommy : “Yes, 
ma.” “I was going to give you some 
to put on your bread ; but I’ve lost the 
key to the pantry.” “You don’t need 
the key, ma ; I can reach down through 
the transom and open the door from the 
inside.” “That’s just what I wanted to 
know; now just wait until your father 
comes home.”— Texas Siftings.

leave nothing to be desired in this direc¬ 
tion. No one ever bought a Columbia 
and regretted the selection afterwards. 
These wheels, the product of tlie oldest 
makers in America and the greatest in the 
world, are always in advance of the 
times, and combine every essential quality 
of bicycle excellence. They are thor¬ 
oughly built, graceful in style, and as 
light as a wheel of proper strength can 
be, while their beautiful finish, which is a 
distinguishing feature, is as lasting as it 
is elegant.

TESTS 
Are frequently unsatisfactory because of the constrcction of the 
apparatus in which Dr. Babcock’s process is used. It is a mis¬ 
take to buy a cheap Babcock Tester. You had better have 
none. Because, tests made in a cheap Tester cannot be depended 
up>on. Our apparatus, with 40 turns of the crank, gives 1080 
revolutions of the bottles; with 60 turns of the crank, 1620 rev¬ 
olutions of the bottles. We also furnish Testers to be run by Steam 
Motor or by Belt Power. 
Buy one of our Testers and you will have something to be depend¬ 
ed upon to give the required speed so necessary for a perfect test.
