On Christmas night at Scranton
Mile. Rhea played Josephine in Jose
phine, Empress of the Frcnch,n and
was at her best, being in excellent
spirits. She won not only the large
audience, but her company as well,
and when the first curtain fell she
seemed overcome by emotion. Her
company congratulated her upon the
excellence of her acting. William
Harris, the Napoleon Of the play,
said: "MademOiselle, you were superb,
especially in the last act" "Yes?n

Most of the talk about early ris
ing is moonshine. Tho habit OF
turning out of bed in the middle OF
the night suits some people; let them
enjoy it. But 1t is folly to lay down
a general rule on the subject, says u
writer in the Domestic Monthly.
Some men are fit for nothing all day
after they have risen early every
morning. The energies are deaden.
ed, their imaginations are heavy,
their spirits are depressed. It's said
you can work SO well in the morning.
Some people can, but others can
work best at night; others, again, in
the afternoon.
Long trial and experiment form
the ouly conclusive tests upon these
points. We all know the msael
man, aged so: Il invariably rise a,
5. / work three hours, take = light
breakfast-namely, a cracker and a
pinch of salt-work five hours more;
never smoke, never drink anything
but barley water, eat no dinner, and
go to bed at 8 in the evening"" If
anybody finds that donkeytild
sort of life will spit him, by all
means let him continue 1t. But few
people would care to live to 80 OIL
these terms.
II man cannot get all withered
aud crunpied up on easier conditions
than those, it is almost AS we'll tha,
he should depart before he is nuI.
sance to himself and bore to every.
body else. Schoolboys and young
people generally ought to got up
early, for it is found that nine-tenths
of them can stand it, and it does
them good. But let no one torture
himself with the thought that he
could have been twice As good = man
ss he is if he had risen svery morn
ing at daylight. The habit would
kill half of Us in less than Ave years.
