The management of Haverly's Theatre desire to direct the attention of the public to the precautions taken against the possibility of fire, in order that, in the event of an alarm, there need be no cause for a panic. It is a well-established fact that the Edison incandescent electric light is absolutely harmless to create a blaze. The very slightest contact with air causes its extinguishment, and it is only necessary to break the glass case to put out the light completely. The Incandescent Edison Light is used exclusively throughout the building, front and rear. No gas is used in the Theatre during a performance. Statistics prove that ninety-five per cent of all theatre fires arise from the use of gas. In addition to the precautions in the way of lighting apparatus, there are no furnaces used – the house being heated exclusively by steam. Stand-pipes and hose, Babcock fire extinguishers, and Harden's hand grenades are in bountiful supply and two experienced firemen members of the regular city fire department are on or underneath the stage during every performance. Iron doors protect the passages between the front and rear of house; the employees are regularly instructed in their duties in case of accident, and, in short, no Theatre in the world is so amply and thoroughly protected against internal fire, and no Theatre so well prepared to cope with it. This is a fact well known to insurance companies, and it only remains to say, that in no event is there any need for panic in Haverly's Theatre. Our patrons are particularly requested to carefully heed the foregoing facts which prove this conclusion.

Haverly's Mastodons for a number of years Mr. J. H. Haverly has occupied a field entirely his own in the presentation of minstrelsy in its best form. His company has been the largest and strongest, and more novelties in the minstrel line of amusement have been produced by him than by the combined minstrel management of the entire world. He has been years in advance of all others, and his banners might fittingly wear the legend "Excelsior." In Chicago, so many years the headquarters of Mr. Haverly, a very popular regard exists for all of his various enterprises, but chiefly for his Mastodon Minstrel Company. It was organised and equipped here, made its first appearance here, and from here went forth to conquer two hemispheres by dint of merit only. Mr. Haverly's host of friends will be glad to know that his incomparable company will be appear at this Theatre for one week, commencing Sunday evening next, February 17th. Seats may be purchased now at the box office. The Silver King. The patrons of this Theatre, when they read the headline to this notice, will recall the fact that the Silver King was the opening attraction last fall. Its success was greater tan that of any melodrama ever presented in Chicago. The receipts were marvellously large, and were so phenomenal that the four weeks' season of the Silver King in this Theatre continues the topic of conversation in theatrical circles. A leading authority in this city thus spoke of its first production here: "Of all the English melodramas seen in this country the Silver King is, without doubt, the best. It does not depend wholly upon the stage carpenter and machinist for its success; is interesting if not strictly original; it is told in a reasonable and coherent manner, and it abounds in thrilling dramatic situations. The language is above the usual clap-trap put in mouths of characters in melodrama, and here and there are telling original passages and bright and witty lines." The Silver King will soon be presented here again, and with all of the effects and strength of personality that made it so immensely popular before.

A Boston romance, in which a hale and hearty man of 50 and a slight, little woman a couple of years younger figured, is reported. The two met on a rainy day, while hurrying with lifted umbrellas about their business, a collision followed, and the woman slipped to the sidewalk. In picking her up the man recognized her as an old flame. Thirty years before, when she was a Lowell factory girl, and he a poor medical student at Harvard, they had loved each other. In 1849 he went to California and forgot the girl he left behind him. He prospered in business, became rich and married. Later his wife and children died, and in his loneliness he remembered the Lowell factory girl. A dream told him she was in distress. He hurried east to find her, but looked in vain till they accidentally met. She was a widow, with two children, but that is all over now.

Two hundred years ago – the following law and law case, taken from the records of the New Haven Colony in 1669, are strange reading in these times. The statute says: "Whosoever shall inveigle or draw the affections of any maide or maide-servant, either to himself or others, without first gaining the consent of her parents, shall pay to the plantation, for the first offence, 40s. ; the second, $4; for the third, shall be imprisoned or corporeously punished." Under this law, at a court held in May, 1669, Jacobeth Murline and Sara Tuttle were prosecuted "for setting down on a chestle together, his arm around her waiste, and her arme upon his shoulder, or about his neck, and continuing in that sinful posture about half an hour, in which tyme he kyssed her and she kyssed him, or they kyssed one another, as ye witnesses testified." "Jim," inquired a schoolboy of one of his mates, "what is the meaning of relics?" "Don't you know? Well, I can tell you. You know the master licked me in school yesterday?" "Yes." "Well, he wasn't satisfied with that, but he kept me in and licked me again. That's what I call a re-lick." A learned lawyer was once accused of having disgraced the bar by taking silver from a client, the etiquette of the profession requiring that his fee should be in gold. "I took silver," he replied, "because I could not get gold; but I took every farthing the fellow had in the world, and I hope you do not call that disgracing the profession."

It is known as The Standard School of America. A Queen's Grave – The remains of Queen Catharine of Arragon, "pattern of female excellence," is daily walked over and trodden on, not only by the clergy and choristers of Petersborough Cathedral, but by all persons entering the choir from the north side. On the south side, and directly opposite, under a similar black marble slab, was interred the headless body of Mary Queen of Scots. Her remains have, however, since been removed to Westminster Abbey, and a fitting monument erected over them. Queen Catherine's resting place has not been changed. It is now marked, by a rude and rough black marble slab, with the words "Queen Catharine" on an insignificant brass plate. A correspondent of the London Times directs attention to the daily indignity of the tramping of the choir and the careless step of every visitor. Certainly this is not the spirit of the lines: "I was a chaste wife to my grave; embalm me, then lay me forth; although unqueened, yet like a queen, and daughter to a king, interme." The boy who will ride around on a velocipede all day, considers himself terribly imposed upon if he has to wheel his baby sister two or three blocks. There is a sort of economy in the ways of Providence, that one man shall excel where another is defective, in order to make men useful to each other, and mix them in society.

The man who wants his name kept out of the paper is just the man who don't believe in the virtue of advertising. Ask him for a local notice and he will tell you no one reads the paper but just let him get found flirting with some other man's wife, walking off with funds not his own, or trying to hold up a lamp-post some dark night, and he'll climb seventeen pairs of stairs and beg on his bended knees that the item should be supressed. It makes a difference in the minds of a great many men whose ox is gored, when an article is to appear in public print.

One of the simplest and most effective remedies for rheumatism is a lemon daily, until relieved. Take the juice of one lemon with sugar just before retiring. A good liniment can be made by dissolving gum camphor in coal oil. Make it as desired. When applying it, do not be near the stove. It will be found effectual also in neuralgia and similar ailments. The use of lemons cannot be to highly recommended.
A noted sharper, wishing to ingratiate himself with a clergyman said: "Parons, I should like to hear you preach more than I can tell you." "Well," responded the clergyman, "if you had been where you ought to have been last Sunday you would have heard me." "Where was that?" asked the sharper. "In the County Jail." Was the reply.
As folly on the one side, thought it should enjoy all it can desire, would, notwithstanding, never be content; so, on the other, wisdom ever acquiesces with the present, and is never dissatisfied with its immediate conditions.

The report of the British Post Office department mentions, among the articles sent through the mails, a dormouse, four white mice, two goldfinches, a lizard and a blind-worm, all alive; cutlery, medicine, varnish, ointments, perfumery articles of dress, a stoat, a squirrel, fish, leeches, frogs, beetles, caterpillars, and vegetables. Many of these being prohibited articles, were sent to the returned letter office. A snake, about a yard in length, which had been committed to the post for transmission in a box, was observed to be at large on the floor of one of the night mail-sorting carriages on the London and North Western Railway. After a good deal of confusion and interruption to work it was killed. A small box which reached the returned-letter office in Liverpool was found, on being opened, to contain eight living snakes.

Notice to Patrons. The attaches of this Theatre are expected and will be compelled to extend courteous treatment to all its patrons. Any direlection or inattention being reported to the Management, will be speedily remedied. The Ushers will not be allowed to applaud, indulge in loud talk, or leave the Theatre during a performance. Chairs will not be permitted in the aisles, nor will holders of admission tickets be allowed to stand except in the side aisles and lobby.
The management of Haverley's Theatre desire to direct the attention of the public to the precautions taken against the possibility of fire, in order that, in the event of an alarm, there need be no cause for a panic. It is a well-established fact that the Edison incandescent electric light is absolutely harmless to create a blaze. The very slightest contact with air causes its extinguishment, and it is only necessary to break the glass case to put out the light completely. The Incandescent Edison Light is used exclusively throughout the building, front and rear. No gas is used in the Theatre during a performance. Statistics prove that ninety-vie per cent of all theatre fires arise from the use of gas.
In addition to the precautions in the way of lighting apparatus, there are no furnaces used - the house being heated exclusively by steam. Stand-pipes and hose, Babcock fire extinguishers, and Harden's hand grenades are in bountiful supply and two experienced firemen - members of the regular city fire department - are on or underneath the stage during every performance. Iron doors protect the passages between the front and reaer of house; the employes are regularly instructed in their duties in case of accident, and, in short, no theatre in the world is so amply and thoroughly protected against internal fire, and no theatre so well prepared to cope with it. This is a fact well=konwn to insurance companies, and it only remains to say, that in no event is there any need for a panic in Haverly's Theatre. Our patrons are paticularly requested to carefullly heed the foregoing facts which prove this conclusion.
Haverly's Mastodons for a number of years Mr. J. H. Haverly has occupied a field entirely his own in the presentation of minstrelsy in its best form. His company has been the largest and strongest, and more novelties in the minstrel line of amusement have been produced by him than by the combined minstrel management of the entire world. He has been years in advance of all others, and his banners might fittingly wear the legend "Excelsior." In Chicago, so many years the headquarters of Mr. Haverly, a very popular regard exists for all of his various enterprises, but chiefly for his Mastodon Minstrel Company. It was organised and equipped here, made its first appearance here, and from here went forth to conquer two hemispheres by dint of merit only. Mr. Haverly's host of friends will be glad to know that his incomparable company will be appear at this Theatre for one week, commencing Sunday evening next, February 17th. Seats may be purchased now at the box office. The Silver King. The patrons of this Theatre, when they read the headline to this notice, will recall the fact that the Silver King was the opening attraction last fall. Its success was greater tan that of any melodrama ever presented in Chicago. The receipts were marvellously large, and were so phenomenal that the four weeks' season of the Silver King in this Theatre continues the topic of conversation in theatrical circles. A leading authority in this city thus spoke of its first production here: "Of all the English melodramas seen in this country the Silver King is, without doubt, the best. It does not depend wholly upon the stage carpenter and machinist for its success; is interesting if not strictly original; it is told in a reasonable and coherent manner, and it abounds in thrilling dramatic situations. The language is above the usual clap-trap put in mouths of characters in melodrama, and here and there are telling original passages and bright and witty lines." The Silver King will soon be presented here again, and with all of the effects and strength of personality that made it so immensely popular before.

A Boston romance, in which a hale and hearty man of 50 and a slight, little woman a couple of years younger figured, is reported. The two met on a rainy day, while hurrying with lifted umbrellas about their business, a collision followed, and the woman slipped to the sidewalk. In picking her up the man recognized her as an old flame. Thirty years before, when she was a Lowell factory girl, and he a poor medical student at Harvard, they had loved each other. In 1849 he went to California and forgot the girl he left behind him. He prospered in business, became rich and married. Later his wife and children died, and in his loneliness he remembered the Lowell factory girl. A dream told him she was in distress. He hurried east to find her, but looked in vain till they accidentally met. She was a widow, with two children, but that is all over now.

Two hundred years ago – the following law and law case, taken from the records of the New Haven Colony in 1669, are strange reading in these times. The statute says: "Whosoever shall inveigle or draw the affections of any maide or maide-servant, either to himself or others, without first gaining the consent of her parents, shall pay to the plantation, for the first offence, 40s. ; the second, $4; for the third, shall be imprisoned or corporeously punished." Under this law, at a court held in May, 1669, Jacobeth Murline and Sara Tuttle were prosecuted "for setting down on a chestle together, his arm around her waiste, and her arme upon his shoulder, or about his neck, and continuing in that sinful posture about half an hour, in which tyme he kyssed her and she kyssed him, or they kyssed one another, as ye witnesses testified."
Birthday souvenirs Art Stationery. Salt – Salt is the medium for solution and absorption. Experiments of French scientists showed that flesh deprived of salt, by being washed with water, lots its nutritive power and that animals who fed on it soon died of starvation. Animals shorn of salt, in addition to that supplied by their food, become dull and heavy in temperament, with rough, staring coats and dead eyes; while salt consuming animals soon present a skin as smooth as velvet, showing a greater relish for food, and giving a rapid increase of weight consequent upon the larger consummation of food induced. There are impetuous good people; fickle good people; unwise good people; let us say it out ; foolish good people, who lack wisdom and do not know they lack it. A certain sober judgment ought to mark Christians. They should be like the needle in the mariner's compass, not like the pendulum which, within its limited range, is always going from one extreme to another. They should not startle people with paradoxes, nor banish all confidence in them by their wildness with which they unfold their ideas to minds quite unprepared.
A paper published at Amherst College has the following incident: He was a senior, and, as he fetched up at the bottom of those slippery steps, he ejaculated; "Hell (just then a professor came gliding around the corner) is paved with good resolutions." The professor smiled blandly, went to his room and gave that senior ten.

It is known as The Standard School of America. A Queen's Grave – The remains of Queen Catharine of Arragon, "pattern of female excellence," is daily walked over and trodden on, not only by the clergy and choristers of Petersborough Cathedral, but by all persons entering the choir from the north side. On the south side, and directly opposite, under a similar black marble slab, was interred the headless body of Mary Queen of Scots. Her remains have, however, since been removed to Westminster Abbey, and a fitting monument erected over them. Queen Catherine's resting place has not been changed. It is now marked, by a rude and rough black marble slab, with the words "Queen Catharine" on an insignificant brass plate. A correspondent of the London Times directs attention to the daily indignity of the tramping of the choir and the careless step of every visitor. Certainly this is not the spirit of the lines: "I was a chaste wife to my grave; embalm me, then lay me forth; although unqueened, yet like a queen, and daughter to a king, interme." The boy who will ride around on a velocipede all day, considers himself terribly imposed upon if he has to wheel his baby sister two or three blocks. There is a sort of economy in the ways of Providence, that one man shall excel where another is defective, in order to make men useful to each other, and mix them in society.

Ask him for a local notice and he will tell you no one reads the paper but just let him get found flirting with some other man's wife, walking off with funds not his own, or trying to hold up a lamp-post some dark night, and he'll climb seventeen pairs of stairs and beg on his bended knees that the item should be supressed. It makes a difference in the minds of a great many men whose ox is gored, when an article is to appear in public print.

One of the simplest and most effective remedies for rheumatism is a lemon daily, until relieved. Take the juice of one lemon with sugar just before retiring. A good liniment can be made by dissolving gum camphor in coal oil. Make it as desired. When applying it, do not be near the stove. It will be found effectual also in neuralgia and similar ailments. The use of lemons cannot be to highly recommended.
A noted sharper, wishing to ingratiate himself with a clergyman said: "Parons, I should like to hear you preach more than I can tell you." "Well," responded the clergyman, "if you had been where you ought to have been last Sunday you would have heard me." "Where was that?" asked the sharper. "In the County Jail." Was the reply.
As folly on the one side, thought it should enjoy all it can desire, would, notwithstanding, never be content; so, on the other, wisdom ever acquiesces with the present, and is never dissatisfied with its immediate conditions.

The report of the British Post Office department mentions, among the articles sent through the mails, a dormouse, four white mice, two goldfinches, a lizard and a blind-worm, all alive; cutlery, medicine, varnish, ointments, perfumery articles of dress, a stoat, a squirrel, fish, leeches, frogs, beetles, caterpillars, and vegetables. Many of these being prohibited articles, were sent to the returned letter office. A snake, about a yard in length, which had been committed to the post for transmission in a box, was observed to be at large on the floor of one of the night mail-sorting carriages on the London and North Western Railway. After a good deal of confusion and interruption to work it was killed. A small box which reached the returned-letter office in Liverpool was found, on being opened, to contain eight living snakes.
When a young horse acts badly in harness, it is because he has not been properly taught his business. To whip and ill-use him is to spoil him. A horse is naturally willing and docile, if well used, and much may be done by kindness, patience and judgment in removing the ill effects of wrong treatment. A colt should be trained when young and gradually taught his duties; the greatest care should be taken to avoid frightening or irritating the animal, and much patience should be exercised. If punishment will make matters worse; something should be done to distract its attention when it will generally become docile.
"Where to strike an attacking dog" is thus told by Land and Water: "When you have the good fortune to be armed with a shillelagh, do not says General Hutchinson, hit him across the head and eyes; bear in mind that the front part of his forelegs is a far more vulnerable and sensitive spot. One or two well applied blows upon that unprotected place will generally disable the strongest dog.
The School Boy. We bought him a box for books and things, and bags for his ball and his bat; and he looked the brightest and best of kings under his new straw hat. [?] him into a railway train with a troop of his young compeers, did we felt as though it were dust and rain were filling our eyes with tears. Looked in his innocent face to see the sign of a sorrowful heart; but he only shouldered his bat with glee and wondered when they would start. ‘twas not that he loved not as heretofore, for the boy was tender and kind; but he was a world that was all before, and ours was a world behind. ‘Twas not his fluttering heart was cold, for the child was loyal and true; and the parents lose the love that is old, and the children the love that is new. And we came to know that love is a flower, which only growth down; and we scarcely spoke for the space of an hour, as we drove back through the town.
A Curious Freak. There is a wonderful freak of nature about six miles north-west of Gainesville, Ga., which is commonly known as the Devil's Mill Hopper. This curiosity is a large sink in the earth, covering an area of perhaps four acres around the toy, which gradually becomes smaller in circumference as you descend – being one hundred and fifty feet below the earth's surface. Having effected the descent of the steep walls of rock, a body of water is approached which is perhaps five hundred feet in circumference, probably less in dry weather. Into this sheet of water is a continual flow of ten to twelve good sized streams, from the crevices of the rock wall surrounding. Around this wall is a large growth of the various kinds of trees grown in Florida – oak, ash, hickory, bay and also thick undergrowth of ferns and mosses.
