modern expression in a very ancient con

But you wish me to show you a few
professional points, Well, keep your eye
on us and wen give you an exhibition of
the leg and arm hold" As Connors fin
shed speaking he dropped on his left knee
and seized his wrestling mate about the left
knee and left elbow. The mate struggled
in vain to free his limbs, then as a last des-
perate resort he turned a complete somer-
sault, struck with a r~esounding thump
upon his head and heels and ~endeayored to
draw Common down with him. But the
willy professor soOn pressed both his oppo-
nent's shoulders against the carpet and

This is the elevation" said Connors
after a pause. He dropped on one knee,
seized his mate exactly as before, drew him
down Upon his shoulders with irresistible
force, then sprang quickly to his feet, with
his helpless opponent lying lengthwise
across those same powerful shoulders.
Connors gave a quick jerk with both arms,
bent his body and an instant later his
mates back struck the floor like a thou
sand of brick, all points down. When the
unfortunate mate had pulled himself to-
gether again, Connors illustrated the ham
mer lock. Both men dropped upon the
right knee, Connors seized his mates right
wrist, pressed his left elbow against the
small of his rivals back near the hips and
his right elbow against that worthy's neck.
Tn mate was in a bad way. Connors
pulled his arm up the back and twisted it
until he howled with pain. 1t was very
evident that in a genuine match the mates
arm would soon have been laid up for re
pairs.
"Now watch me get his head in chan
Gerry" murmured Tom. He knelt upon his
left knee, facing away from his mate, who
rested upon the right knee. Connors
stretched his right leg far ahead of him,
seized his mate about the neck, while the
latter caught Connors around the body.
Connors then proceeded to yank his man
over his right shoulder in n very uncere-
monious manner, but much to Connors'
surprise his nimble opponent revolved in
the air and struck on his feet.
Very cleverly done, young man. said
Tom; then, turning to me, he added: The

Among the many superstitions OF the
stage none was more generally bowed
Town to than the one which said that man
ayers and the public alike looked with dis
approval on an actress who acknowledged
that she had such an inartistic incum-
brance as a husband, or who unblushing-
ly and without shame confessed that home
comforts, love and little ones we're as dear
to her as TO women who only see stage life
from "the front of the house" Secret
marriages are great breeders Of c~onjugal
infelicity. II every actress who made the
man Of her heart happy by giving him her
hand in wedlock would stand up aud do it
before folks" as ordinary mortals do,
there would be fewer divorce cases for the
greenroom gossips to gloat over, and the
mans happiness would last longer. Miss
Ulmar has therefore given us another cause
to admire her besides her beauty and her
talent

has already proved beneficial when it is
alloyed with steel, but thus far no wheels
nave been made of it wholly. As it is
stronger and a great deal lighter than
steel and will not corrode, its advantage
over steel is very apparent. A steel racing

aluminium proves practicable, a racing
wheel can be made that will only weigh
