Mr.. Louis James who is universal
ly acknowledged to be the foremost
tragedian on the American stage to
day, will appear at the opera house
Nov. 30th, in his magnificent rcviv-
al of the grand old tragedy "Spar'
tacus, which in former times made
the reputation of such actors as
Forrest and Mccullough. Messrs,
Wagenhals q Kemper have bought
the play at great expense from
the Bird estate OF Philadelphia,
and it has cost him thousands OF
dollars additional to provide the
adequate scenery and accessories,
but events have proved the wisdom
of their course as the phenomenal
business they have encountered has
more than repaid them for their
outlay, Mr., James needs no intro
duction to the public, his magnid-
cent presence, his powerful and yet
musical voice, and the fire and
force OF his acting have made his
position as an artist Of the highest
attachments secure beyond doubt.
Mr., James Managers Messrs. Wag-
enhals q Kemper have given him an
adequate surrounding. The scenery

have one of these instruments put

Signs and Saloons.
Farm Neus.

TUTH AfCUS.
1t is an interesting occupation while
walking the streets OF city to notice
the variety and peculiar wording OF
signs, to say nothing of the spelling,
often found there. Nowhere, perhaps,
is this more noticeable than in the no
menclature given to saloons and places
of that character.
Whether the proprietors feel that
their business needs some disguise III
order to inyeighle the unwary inside
| their doors or that they think the
names applied peculiarly appropriate
is hard to say.
Whatever the cause, the tact re-
mains that Exchange" seems to be
the tavorlte appeilatlon Labor Ex-

perhaps it is that the knowledge and
skill acquired by the practice Of tie
game is bartered oyer the counter fOl
that which not only adds nothing tc
ones stock OF health, strength, and
knowledge, but absolutely detracts from
them.
The man who labels his saloon Fam
ily Resort, shows a desire to tempt til,
young as we'll as the old into his snares
and also by throwing an air Of respect
ability about its character, to deceive
the unwary. The Cottage, is another
of these misleading signs. To the un

Sleep Until You Are Not Sleepy

A person may need nine hours sleep
out of the twenty-four. Indeed, he is
a wise man II, teellng that he requires
them, he is sensible enough to take
them. Goeth. when performing bis
great literary teats, took nine hours
sleep.
A frlll-grown adult, in healthy con-
dition, will seldom require more than
eight. If, however, he discovers that he
is not sufficiently refreshed by eight
hours, he should take more. 1t is a
pretty safe rule to sleep as long as you
are sleepy. There are people, says a
writer, "who are wise enough to eat
when they are hungry, but who have
never attained that higher reach of
wisdom to sleep when they are sleepy"

Letter Writing.

If women sometimes convey their
feelings too strongly in their letters it
must not be forgotten that men are
guilty of the same offence, writes Ed
wards w. Box IN the Ludie's Home
Journal. There Is no man living who
would not gladly call back some letter
which some time in his life, he has
written and regretted afterward Men
are as often swayed by angry passions
in their letters as women are by their
emotions The art of letter-writlng
has not been conquered any more by
men than women. In fact, glance
over the literature of the world shows
that the truest and best masters of lit
ter-writing have been women. And /
am inclined to believe this is true
today as it ever has been. A woman
writes far more natural letter than
does a man. She may require space
wherein to do it, where a man would
employ terseness. But what man ever
begrudged a woman an extra sheet, or
that inevitable postscript which so
often saws more than her whole letter?
A woman always ignores ali formulas
and writes as she feels. True, woman's
way may not always be the safest, but
it is the most delightful all the same.
It's inst the difference between spon-
taneity and study.
