WHITENING rvoRY-HANDLED KNIVES.

To restore the whiteness to ivory-han-

Let the handles lie for an hour in this,

A Banana Eating Horse.

An Italian in Boston, who had stationed
himself close by the entrance to the circus
grounds. that he might more easily dis
pose of the fruits which he had to sell,
became SO interested Ill the appearance of
two Turks who had escaped from the
grounds, and had been strolling about the
Back Bay, that he forgot all about the
wagon load Of bananas which were beside
him, until he turned suddenly and OBJ
served horse attached to an express
wagon calmly eating from the stock of
bananas as if they had been placed there
for his especial benefit. The spectacle
CT a horse eating bananas was so amusing
to the bystanders that they didn't call
the owners attention to it, but when the
italian who owned the fruit, and the
Hibernian who drove the horse, began to
argue with each other, there was more
excitement than was heard inside the cir
Gus tent.-BoSt0n TrdCeZer.

San Francisco, being in 122 degrees
east longitude, is 30 miles east of
the geographical center of the Unit
ed States. This argument is incom-
plete in neglecting the center between
the extreme north and the extreme
south. Point Barrow, Alaska, in
latitude 1880, is the most northern
point, and Key West, latitude 24.3o,
is the most southern point in the
United States. Striking a general
average and a circle from the ex-

including Alaska, is near the north

On Monday night Feb. 18th, an
event of far more than ordinary interest
will occ2r at the Chicago Opera House.
1t will be the first appearance at that
theater Of Miss Julia Marlowe. who, in
legitimate and classic parts has created
a veritabe sensation in Boston, New
York and Philadelphia Every promi-
nent critic in the East pronounces her
the greatest discovery Of recent years
and predicts for her future as brilliant
as that Of the late Adelaide Nelson,
who, in many respects she resembles.
Not only have the newspaper critics un-
tied in sounding her praises, but such
men as Robert G. Ingersoll, the late
Lester Wallack, Judge Wordsworth,
Justice Harlan, Geo. w. Childs, Col.
Mcclure, and other men of that stamp
have taken the trouble to express their
opinion of Miss Marlowe, and place her
already among the greatest of American
actresses. Miss Marlowe will be seen
only one week at the Chicago Opera
House. She will be seen on Monday
night and Wednesday matinee in "In-
gomar.' Tuesday and Thursday even
ings in "The Hunchback," Wednesday
evening "Twelfth Night" Friday and
Saturday evenings and Saturday matt
nee, GAS you like it,"
On Feb. 18th there will be grand
revival Of Gillelvs adoption of Rider
Haggard's great novel, "She." The
piece was produced a year ago at this
theater, and scored an immense success.
1t is full of scenic surprises, quaint and
original music, and is played by an un-
usually strong musical and acting cast.
Following "She," "Natural Cas-"
will be revived at the Chicago Opera
House.

Henry M. Stanley is not an Amer
lean by birth, and his real name is
John Howlands. He was born in
Wales, and his parents were so poor
that he was sent at the age of three
to the poor-house at St Asaph
When he was thirteen he was turned
loose to take care of himself. He
was we'll informed, and taught school
for while. He shipped from Liv-
erpool as cabin boy when he was
fourteen, and reached New Orleans.
He was there adopted by a mer-
chant named Stanley, who gave him
his name.
