no less successful as Vivian Darville in
1.-THE Sporting Duchess" and many other
first class productions. All the good in
Don Caesar" has been used by Mr.. Har-
court, and 1.-THE Kings Pawn" promises
to be one of the most entertaining plays
ever observed at Keith's. Other new spe-
cialties include Little Scenes from Life,
a new monologue which is to be given by
Jesse Conthoni. Lew Sully, this season
member of Primrose & Dockstader's Min
strels, and great favorite at Keith's, viii

manned until September 18th, 1899, when
the lime weighed twenty and four-tenths
ounces, gain of over one-fourth Of it's
original weight. The lime had fallen into
small Jumps and the gain was soGter, which
it had absorbed entirely from the air in a
dry room. This means that you buy over
four ounces of water with every 16 ounces
of fallen .lime, peck of water with a
bushel of lime. You buy much more

kept in dry room, but under an open
shed, where it is exposed to the dampness
