It is of the
 First Importance

That your blood should be normal in red and white blood corpuscles and all other constituents, whenever there is exposure to infec- dous and contagious diseases.
 You blood is not normal if you have scrofula, eruptions, catarrh, rheuma- tism, anemia, nervousness, that tired feeling, loss of appetite, or general debility.
 You should take Hoods Sarsaparilla, and you should begin taking it at once.
 Hoods Sarsaparilla effects its won- derful cures, not simply because it contains sarsaparilla but because it combines the utmost remedial values of more than 20 different ingredients, each greatly strengthened and en- riched by this peculiar combination. These ingredients are the very reme- dies that successful physicians pre- scribe for the same diseases and ail- ments. There is no real substitute for Hoods Sarsaparilla. If urged to buy any preparation said to be "just as good" you may be sure it is inferior, costs less to make, and yields the dealer a larger profit.

The Boring of Glass.

Strong glass plates are bored through by means of rotating brass tubes of the necessary diameter, which are filled with water during boring To the water there is added finely pull verized emery. It is said that thinner glass can be perforated with holes in an easier manner by pressing a disk of wet clay upon the glass and making a. hole through the clay of the widths desired, so that at that spot the glass is laid bare. Then molten lead Is poured into the hole, and lead. and glass drop down at once This method is based upon the quick local heat ing of the glass, whereby it obtains a circular crack, the outline of which cor responds to the outline of the hole made in the clay. The cutting of glass tubes, cylinders. etc, in factories is based upon the same principle.

 The U. s. department of Agriculture thus describes the partridge: 'The gray partridge ranges through Europe and does not differ specially from any other gray partridge found within this range. It's value to game preservers is prob ably due to the fact that its introduc- ton brings an infusion of fresh blood from wild stock and thus benefits the hand-reared stock. .deteriorated through many generations of artificial breed ing. The gray partridge is naturally a ground bird It broods on the ground and obtains practically all of it's living from it. 1t thrives best where the soil is rich and genial and has a marked partiaIity for over-grown weedy meadows and mixed cover. The food of the partridge consists of in sects.

THE THEATRES
SMITHS

Mimi Aguglia, who appears this ev- ening in ''Zaza,'' at the head of her Si- cilian Players, is one of the brightest actresses Italy has ever sent to this country. She has appeared with this same company in all the European capitals, and in New York, Boston and Philadelphia, with tremendous sue cess, and next week goes again into the Broadway theatre, in New York, for an extension of her run there. 'Zaza" as interpreted by this cast, takes on an aspect which has never be- fore been provided it in this country. The French version is employed, and although it is played entirely in Ital- ian, everyone can understand and en- joy it. It is a high class production, in every respect, and those who have the pleasure of witnessing the perfor- nance this evening will go away more than pleased with their experi- ence.
 The offering for tomorrow opening will be Shakespeare's greatest tra- gedy, 'Othello," presented in Italian by Antonio tMaiori and his noted com pany. This organization has been seen here before, and has always afforded our Italian clientele with entertain ment which was far above the average. MT. Maiori and his confreres are ar tists in every sense, and they render their plays with fervor and artistic brilliancy which is rarely surpassed, if indeed equalled, by any English speak ing organization.
 Those magnificent animated picture plays and illustrated songs will be the bill for Thursday afternoon, from 1880 to 5, and evening, from ' to 10:30. Geo. Greenspun has supplied himself with two brand new songs, which he will render.
 Clyde Fitch, the famous dramatist, will be in the audience when the first local performance of his new original comedy 'fThe Bachelor" is given here under the management of the Messrs. Shubert Friday evening, and also Sat urday afternoon and evening. This piece, in which Charles Cherry is to appear as the star. with Ruth May cliffe as leading woman, has been en- tirely staged by MT. Fitch himself
 
 Next Tuesday evening, we will see Conan & Harris Minstrels, the latest and most important organization to in wade the minstrel field. Messrs. CO., han & Harris announce as the star of their company, Honey Boy George Ev- ans, well and favorably known to theatregoers through his many ap- pearances here in vaudeville. It is generally understood that Geo. M. Co., han is responsible for the entire en- tertainment from first part to after piece. In fact, MT. Conan has writ ten all the jokes and most of the songs, besides which he has written expressly for this entertainment a new one act musical minstrel comedy entitled '"The Belle of the Barber's Ball." which is said to be a midget edition of a big Conan musical show. For this com edy MT. Conan has composed four new musical numbers all of which have all ready become immensely popular. The company includes besides MT. Evans such distinguished performers as Jul Han Eltinge, Eddie Leonard, John Matt Keefe, Earle Benham, Harry Morse, Waterbury BroS-, and Penney, Rice and Provost, a singing and danc- ing chorus of 50 and a special orches- ira of 20,
