THEY LOVE THE THEATER.

Havana Residents. Though Few, Support
Grand Opera for Months at a Time.
One of the oldest places in Havana
is the theater. Here, as elsewhere, the
men and women arc seated apart. In
some of them, at the end of each act
the house is emptied, and patrons are
compelled to purchase ticket for
every act of the performance. 1t is
sort of seeing the show on the Euro
pean plan. In connection with the
theater, however, it is worthy to note
that Havana is probably the only city
of a little over quarter of million
population on this continent that sup
ports comic and grand opera for con-
secutive months, with seats selling for
three dollars and upward, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. The home of opera is
the Tacon theater, which was erected
in 1887 at cost of four hundred thou
sand dollars, since which time more
than thirty-fve thousand dollars has
been expended at different times in re-
pairing it. There are fourteen exits,
and the seating capacity is said to be
four thousand two hundred and fifty
A visit to this house on an evening
when some favorite prima donna is to
appear is one long to be remembered.

For your Protection. Catarrh "Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
a blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, so cents.

The Undertaken Speaks.

sThere are fats" said an under
taker, shat appear to have been built
with a view of getting people in, but
not with view of getting them out.
It is work of difficulty to take a cas-
ket down the stains, and great care is
required. If there is an elevator the
casket is carried down on that if it is
large enough; if there is not room for
the casket directly across, it may be
placed in the elevator cornerwise; but
it is not taken down in the elevator un.
less there is room for it to rest entirely
upon the floor; if otherwise it is carried
downstairs. If funeral is held up
stairs, it is better not to let the casket
be carried down by honorary pallbear-
ers, but to have it carried by profess
sional pallbearers, who know best how
so handle caslxet under such circum-
stances"
