Manager Herman, of the Lyceum
Theater, will have another big bill of
burlesque and vaudeville for his pa>
irons next week, when the Trocadero
Burltsque Company commence their
engagement. The first part Of the
programme opens with skit entirely
new and different from anything
seen here this season. The company
is composed of thirty artists of COM
edians, singers, dancers, and shapely
girls. The comedians do lots of
good work and give you plenty to
laugh at. The music is bright, tunes
ful and original. The Olio is made
no with the following well-known
artists: Smith & Champion, Cohen
and Gardner, Lew Palmer, Crawford
ana Washburn, Nelson, Glinserretti
and Demonio, Minnie Bell. The
closing number Of the program, the

full of novelties and surprises, and
in which appear the Female Drum
mers, and gorgeous Living Pictures.
Messrs. Waldron and Bryant have
left no stone unturned to make this
organization the best of its kind now
before the public, as they have spared
neither time nor expense, The
scenery, electric effects, costumes are
all original and costly. Do not fail

HISTORY.

as owner, naturally divides into
three periods. The first (1755-
75) includes his young married
life, and ends with the outbreak
Of the Revolution. The second
,1768.S9) begins with his return
after the Revolution, and closes
with his election to the Presi-
dency. The third (1797-99)
embraces the close of his life.
The Quincy House in Brattle
Boston, was founded in
1919, and was the first Quincy
granite building, and the oldest
hotel in the city now existing.
Opposite this hotel is the site
of the Brattle Square church,
built in 1772 and standing until
1871, with a cannon ball stick
ing in its side, fired by the
American battery at Cambridge
during the siege. Then it was
the barrack for two regiments
of British infantry.
Kings Chapel was erected,
as the first Episcopal church in
Boston, in 1889, was enlarged
in 171O, and replaced in 1749- "a
by the present house, built by
Peter Harrison, one of the ar
chitects of Blenheim Palace.
Three British sovereigns en-
riched the chapel with plates,
paintings, books, ETC., and here
the first organ in New England
was set up. The vice-regal
court and army and navy Off
GERS attended service here in
State pews, and the walls and
pillars bear royal and noble es.
cutcheons. The rector fled to
Halifax with the British in
1776, carrying away the valua-
BILE plate, and services were
discontinued for some years.
In 1856 the society expurgated
Trinitarianism from the liturgy
and became the first Unitarian
church in New England. Wash
ington attended an oratorio here
in 1888, clad in black velvet,
and gave five guineas towards
finishing the portico.
On the site of 28 School
street, Boston, stood the French
Huguenot church from TIA to
1853; the first Catholic church
from 1888 to 1902, and the
Universalist church, built in
1917, where Ballou and Chaplin
were pastors.
Harvard University wa s
founded in 1888, and is still
administered under the charter
granted in 1860. For two gen
erations after the settlement of
the country, Harvard was the
only college in New England.
While cherished and honored
by the State, Harvard Univer-
sity has been from the first a
private incorporated institution
supported in the main, first by
the fees of the students, and
secondly by the income from
permanent funds given by be-
nevolent individuals.
The United States Navy Yard
at Charlestown, Mass, was
founded in 1900. 1t covers an
area OF eighty seven acres, and
has nearly one hundred store
houses, machine shops, arse
nails, shiphouses, etc, etc.
Among the war vessels built
here were the Independence,
seventy-four, Frolic, Vermont,
seventy-four, Warren, Farra-
CUTS flagship Hartford, the
Cumberland and MerrimaU (af-
terwards antagonists), the Wa
chuset and Huron''and the iron
clads Monadnock, Nahant,
Nantucket and Canonicus,
The fremont Theater, at 17G
fremont street, Boston, dates
from 1889, and occupies the
site of the Haymarket Theater,
which was formally opened in
1896.
The term "lobster" was used
in this country as early as 177s
as an indication of contempt.

A statistician has estimated
that a man fifty years old has
worked $500 days, has slept
5000, has amused himself4, 900,
has walked 1900 miles, has
been i'll 500 days, has partaken
of 36, 900 meals, eaten 5000
pounds of meat and 1900 of
fish, eggs and vegetables, and
drank 1000 gallons of fluids.
The most magnificent work
of architectureis the Tai Mahat,
in Agra, Hindustan. 1t is oc-
tagonal in form, of pure white
marble, inlaid with every sort
of precious stone. The work
took $4,000 men twenty years
to complete, and though there
were numerous gifts, and the
labor was free, the cost was
$3.50 900.

near Nukalofa, the bats, about
eight thousand in number, oc-
cupy the tops of four large
trees in the midst of the village.
The rookery is carefully pro-
tected by the chief of the vii
lage, who permitted the natu-
ralist to take away only three
specimens. 1t was understood
that they had been guarded by
the people from time immemo-
rial.
Many birds form their sounds
without opening their bills.
The pigeon is a we'll known in
stance of this. Its cooling can
be distinctly heard, although
it does not open its bill. The
call is formed internally in the
throat and chest, and is only
rendered audible by resonance.
Similar ways maybe observed
in many birds and animals.
The clear, loud call of the
cuckoo, according to one natu-
ralist, is the resonance of a note
formed in the bird. The whir-
ring of the snipe, which betrays
the approach of the bird to the
hunter, is an act of ventrilO-
quism. Even the nightingale
has certain notes which are
produced internally, and which
are audible while the bill is
closed.

They got up temperance meeting and
purpOsed to drive the liquor men out Of

way got the confidence of the town en-
gineer. | don't know whether he was
a liquor man or not, but they got him

that the town was not laid out right,
and he got authority to change the
metes and bounds. When he finished
the job. the temperance people found
out that they lived lust outside Of the
line Of the town. no matter what part
