FOOTNOTES:
[1] For fear that some may imagine that the character of Mr. Straight, superintendent of schools, is untrue to life, and that such a man could not hold the position, it must be explained that in the city of Buffalo this office is an elective one, and is held by the person able to control the caucus and secure the votes; so very naturally the gentleman has an eye on next year’s election, and when he appoints new teachers he accepts those (provided of course they are competent) who are best backed up by influential friends. It must be said, however, that the present incumbent of the office alluded to is a most worthy and competent man, and also that the school-teachers of Buffalo outrank in fitness those of most other cities; but these two facts do not in the least condone the dangerous principle of having the office of Superintendent of Schools a political one.
[2] It is a fact known to all students that Shakespeare was the first dramatist who wrote the double play—that is, the first plot of high characters with a second story worked out by the lower or comedy characters. This peculiarity is now made use of by all writers of plays. Note, The Merchant of Venice, As You Like It, Comedy of Errors, etc.
BEECHAM’S PILLS
Painless. Effectual.
In many towns where this wonderful medicine has been introduced, and given a fair trial, it has abolished the family medicine chest, and been found sufficient to cure nine-tenths of the ordinary complaints incident to humanity; and when diseases of months and years are thus removed or palliated in a few days, it is not wonderful that Beecham’s Pills should maintain their acknowledged popularity in both hemispheres. They cost only 25 cents, although the proverbial expression all over the world is that they are “worth a guinea a box,” for in truth one box will oftentimes be the means of saving more than one guinea in doctor’s bills.

The Daylight Lamp.
Central draft, of course. Wick raised and lowered by our wheel system.
It doesn’t stick.
Wick doesn’t have to be a 1/2 inch above the rim to give a good light. Fact is, we have never seen a lamp which exposes so little wick as the “Daylight.”
So the wick doesn’t char.
So the oil burns with a clearer light.
