"Fresh, the Amdfiean,!' is ali'eady familiar 16 many theatregoers, but was quite new to us. It ■'■ a thi'ftory of an Egyptian princess, who has been educated in Pans, and is finally lecalled.itD.lrer.vfather's harem, where she .-inveigbs;against,the horror of his dozen ■wives, frpin-wJio'se c6iivic'ts' society she is finally rescued by Fresh the ' Americah: ':! <^liifi^"SildFfesb ) "of fifty liiothcvs-in-law'. ikne«;,aman who was talked to death by Bo not force me, father,".cries the heroine;''to-become the wretched chattel of (his infamous man Jo share wlint he call hie lore ffith a dozen otherwretches who call theftselveS his wives."

But all was quiet, and in the iSsdlot Vhiro, the plot,turned a little from tnese oflensive points, the people langted heartily and applauded with enthu ism.

Order hi Our Homes.

Oμi'of tte first requisites of a well ordered tome is punctuality; If there is noregard for time, but a " happy-go-lucky " adminifi tratioii, tliefd is always fnoi-e or less friction. Trains fun at a regular hour. Schools and olcis begin at a certain time; So) if the : arrangements of a house are not punctual itainttates will alWays be in a wearying, imtiting hurry and yet never in time. Najjoleoft's criofc always had a roast chicken ready for bis, rtastef at any time he called torbi'eakfast, because every qiiartei of an nour heput'a fresh chicken down to roast. : : If *c .cdlinot aflford so many chickens we miist be punctual to the settled hour of meak.-. A lady of experience observes that I good Way to pick cmt a husband is to see :m patiently Lβ waits for dinner when it is behindfcime. Her husband remarks that a gcod way to pick out '■'&' wife is to see Whether the -woman has dinner ready in will. A man said, "I have % very reliable ; «"»kj for when ib points at 2 it always M i )h ai "Mken -fknow it is half-past 7 - Dclock/ , / I spent the other day in a house tnemistress of which, resembles that clock, ■ Mil never wish to enter it again, Every Biealwaß at least an hour late.
