Eb. E. Mockett. whose photograph
appears on the first page of The
COURIER this week, entered his first
bicycle race in Omaha; Neb, Sept. 10Th,
1880. The next race was 35 miles at

this race he broke his wheel and rode
with but one-half the handle bar, win
ming second place. Time 2 hours. 81
minutes. From April 9th to 18th, 1891,
in Bohanan's Hall he won the Nebraska
State championship for 2 hours daily
for six days, winning the race and cover
ing 2l9is miles in the II hours. The
last night 10 miles and 9 laps were made

factory result of the 50 mile race in
Grand Island a race was arranged be-
tween the winner Curt Clark and
MOckett. The race came off on Nav
3Oth, 1891, and Mockett was an easy
winner, riding the distance in hour and

My Knees Ache is frequent ex-
preston among among amateur cyclists.
You are riding too short reach. Your
saddle is too low. Don't lift ID more
than half an inch at time but keep
raising il that half inch until the knee
ache disappears; or better still. stand
beside your wheel. raise the saddle
until the edge Of the broad part is on a
level with your hip bone. This will give
a correct height for all average riding
and the average rider.

ably be Of as much interest and instruc-
ton to a number Of the readers Of The

was to me. / can only add that after
two or three Intellectual attempts by
my laundress to make it presentable the
course of u eatment recommended has
caused my sweater to be "again doing
its duty nobly." Mr.. Went says:
Il recently resurrected to usefulness
a sweater Of the best quality which had
been so relaxed or stretched out Of shape
by it's first washing that it looked quite
disreputable and had been relegated to
use in such prOsaic exercises as shovel
ing snow, shopping wood, etc.
A few weeks ago, needing sweater
Tor use with a class Of young ladies,
which was formed rather unexpectedly,
tried plan recommended for washing
wooden and flannel fabrics, which was
most successful.
put my stretched and dirty sweater
into warm water containing a handful
Of pearline tany washing powder or soap
would do. no doubt and left it over
night. Next day / kneaded it-no rub
bling; punch and squeeze it or walk on
it with the bare feet-changed the water
several times and then simply pressed
out the excess Of water without wiring
ing-and hung it up to dry. i wanted
it smaller in the waist, so hung it across
a stick, thus allowing it TO hang length

When dry, it was clean, as nice lit
as when new and was soft; whereas it
had been hard both to touch and in APP
pearance. 1t is again doing its duty
nobly. Give your sweater another

Aluminium Coating.

antly. When the tower was first plan
ned, it was proposed to paint the iron
work white, so as 10 give the impression
that the entire tower was of marble.
This idea was abandoned, however, ON
account of the expense that would be
forever entailed in painting the struc-
ture and the great risk that would at
tend the operation. The introduction of
aluminium was hailed as solution of
the trouble, but it is yet doubtful whether
it will really prove So Tho coating Of
the ironwork with aluminium, which is
oil done at Tacony, is the biggest job
in which that interesting metal has ever
been put to commercial uses. -Phila-

Electricity Generated In His Mouth.

A curious case has been recorded in
which an electric current was found to
be generated by plate of artificial
teeth. A patient consulted his doctor
on account Of severe pain in his
tongue. But the sufferer was assured
that there was nothing the matter. He
then paid visit to his dentist, who in
formed him that his teeth were perfect
ly sound. Being, however, dissati Esd,
he called upon an electrician he know
and asked him If it were possible he
could have any electricity in his mouth.
On examining tho teeth his friend found
that two metals were used to fx them
to a composition plate. To these metal
wires were then attached and connected
to galvanometer, Then the teeth were
replaced in the patients mouth and tho
metals moistened with saliva. No SOON
er was this done than the galvanomoter
showed quito large current from 80
small source-enough, it is stated, TO
cause liberation and severe pain whom
long continued upon so sensitive an or
gan as tho tongue. The plato was COW
cred with an insulating varnish and
thenceforward all the trouble ceased. -

n ipse dirif. Back of Mr. Glad

an jose dfrit Back of Mr. Glad stones assertion is the treasure house of knowledge out of which it was digged. Into this the church must go. Itmust not only instruct men how to know the Word, but it must instruct them how to teach the Word to others. Theological normal schools are the demand of the time
 The Bible must be studied and taught as one complete whole. It must be shown to be, what it really is, a rational expression of a ra- tional faith Rationalism is not materialism. Rationalism is the natural ally of the church against materialism. That form of faith which is the most rational will, in the processes of time, displace all other forms. Christians who feel and know this truth, feel and know that the need of the hour is men who can point out the strength of the Christian faith and the weakness of others. Better Bible teaching is the supreme necessity.
