Reproductions of the quaint old streets of the Latin Quarter were constructed with absolute fidelity for this new picture, and a particularly strong cast was asembled for the play.

Yet great effect can be obtained with ad ordinary mantelpiece where a little tasteful originality has been used in its treatment. The essential modern feature is, of course, the avoiding of uni- formity, and to this end pairs of armaments, &c., are never used.
A very novel and charming idea is to place the clock at one end of the mantel inslead of in the centre. Where the fireplace is not exactly in the middle of the wall, this has the effect of adjusting the balance' of the room, and is often a much handier and cooler position for the timepiece. The rest of the shelf is amply decorated by one
gay multi-coloured vase and pewter mug, or perhaps an antique plate and a short brass candlestick.
Where a mirror or picture is hung directly over the mantelpiece, two pieces are only used to com- plete the decoration. These generally, a clock and a pitcher, are placed about a third-way from the outer edge, and with carefully chosen colours and lines, balance the whole scheme very well.

With such a cast "La Boheme" ranks among the biggest pictures and it only requires the special music played by the Queen's Orchestra to make it a wholly delightful production..

"THE. RAINMAKER,”
UNUSUAL STORY AT STAR THEATRE.
Necessary Rest. During sleep the body re- cuperates. Every organ, even the heart, is more or less resting, Old poisons accumulated during the day are worked off, New strength is being built up for the conquests of to-morrow. How much we are losing by ignoring our sleep! Yet the length of time we sleep is not in proportion, to the beauty we gain. One can sleep too much, or oo little. The quality of the sleep is what really matters. Sleep that Is of healthy depth, not too deep or too light, will be of more, value to health than a rugged or fitful sloep of double its length. To fierce hand-to-hand fight in achieve this desirable depth, con- siderable attention must be paid to diet and exercise.
