Dramatic Nezos is offering a handsome S.

THE
ALUMINUM has been found to play an im-
portant part in the refining of other metals.
Iron and steel castings made with aluminum
are clean and compact, and in brass cast-
ings the effect is even more marked. The
aluminum makes them much easier to work,
besides increasing their electric conductiv-
ity.
HK KKYNOTK, *the most popular, and
probably the most carefully edited
musical journal published in this country,

acknowledged without being considered as a de-

perhaps be pardonable, but artists of repute can
easily put an end to the encore nuisance if they
will. The American public is noted for its kind
treatment of performers, and a notice on the pro-

artists will end this matter in one season.
M
AYOR SCHIEREN, of Brooklyn,

At last in misery he shouted:
"Great Scott! I'm covered with flies !"
And the zephyr that toyed with his whiskers saidj
