THE MYSTIC FOR 1896.

Every part is made on honor and we guarantee it

|T is a model of beauty, strength A and ease of management. We use only one class of material—the highest quality obtainable. Our mechanics work by the day, and thus reduce poor construction to almost nothing. Our improvements are all the most careful critic can desire We build for future reputation, not for the benefit of to day. Our bearings are dust-proof. Our tubing is the finest English tube made. Our ends are case-hardened and made from our own designs. Our chain is the easiest chain in the world. It is practically without friction, does not stretch, and needs no oiling. Our new small sprocket is cut to relieve the draft of the chain from the sprocket tooth by a device between the teeth. This chain aftd

sprocket is worth #25 to any wheel, and yet we charge nothing extra for this construction. Our largo sprocket is changeable, and our handle bars can be adjusted to suit the rider. Our wheel weighs exactly twentyfour pounds, but we challenge any twenty-pound wheel to run easier. The reason why we make the wheel twenty*four pounds is. we know it will stand any country road. The Mystic costs to build 80 per cent more than job wheels We can not compete in price with any wheel not made with the same care and accuracy. Do not buy a low grade wheel, as it will be a poor investment. Before you. buy see a Mystic, and thoroughly examine its parts and general construction. We court inspection. We taka no back seat to any wheel made.

A Fossilised Fly. A workman in a limestone quarry at Maquoketa, lowa, the other day found imbedded In the rock, twenty-five feet befow the surface, a fly. The fossil is perfect. The feelers and legs and delicate wings, as well as the body, are as complete as when the insect alighted and stuck in the ooze away back in the upper Silurian period ages ago. * Steam Vacate at Constaatlnople. A correspondent who lately visited Constantinople says that what impresses and pleases the passing tourist more than all is the appearance on the Bosphorus of the trim steam yachts or dispatch boats belonging to the embassies and lying close in shore.
