painted expressly for this play by Hen
ry G. Tyrone, Il scenic artist of Chi.
cago, who will be here to superintend
the mechanical workings of the same.
Mr.. Tyrone writes us rs follows: " The
scenery is up to latest metropolitan
date in every respect, and nothing that
has been done anywhere in the way
of scenery for this beautiful play
us tar us my knowledge extends-has
been omitted. besides much has been
added to the usual complement of
scenery. have done all that I could
think of in the way of mechanical con-
trivance and artistic effect Pieces
are very seldom produced with special
scenery, except in the largest city thea.

10 the question, els there any diff.
ference between cord of wood and
a cord of ice!" the Burlington Hank.
eye answers: eve should say there
was. You try to heat your house with
Il cord of ice and you will begin to sus.:
pect there is a difference yourself.
Then, there are more slivers in the
wood, as you can readily ascertain by
sliding down cord of wood and q,
cord or ice. And then the ice melts
most rapidly in the summer, while the
wood thaws away with the greatest
celebrity when the weather is coolest.
Then you can keep the ice in an ice box
while it depends. entirely upon the hab.
its of your neighbors whether you can
keel. the wood anywhere. There are sew.
eral other points of difference that
will readily occur to you, if you will
give the matter little thought. But
if you meant, us you possibly did, to
ask about the quantity in cord of ice
and wood, it is just the same in each,

AS a preventative give the chlorate

ton, three times u day to children;
slightly diluted with water, and in |
treating the disease the dose may be
given every two hours day and night

Inthe more aggravated cases. where

fever, we give early in the disease an
emetic of ipecac or 4 decided dose of |
