NORDAU AND WAGNER.

Nordau's short explanation of the prin-
cipal Of Wagner's art might have been
written by a caged-up lunatic! Take for
instance, expressions and conclusions
such as these: that the architecture of
Cologne Cathedral impresses one without
the by-work of a dramatic performance;
or that the Pastoral Symphony impresses
one without explanatory words or that
Faust's depth and beauty san gain Moth
ing by adding music to it.
Well, I believe one can safely say that
the grandeur of the architecture of Co
logne Cathedral impresses one a thous-
and fold more when seen during high
mass, when the magnificent edifice is
filled with the delicious fumes of incense
and resplendent with myriads of lights!
Furthermore it is a well-known fact that
in all theatres of high rank the lack of
music during productions of Faust" was
deeply felt, and was why most of them
introduced music during such perform
ances, with more or less success. And
then il Beethoven In the ..Partifurs, ol
his ssPastoEa1s Syrnp heflgp had not: given

fne4i0 ms CONCERNING his music, i wonder
i HON mal1y different versions there would
now be in existence. Perhaps, for in
stance, Mr.. Nordau might have mistaken
the manifestations of rapture on the ar
rival at the idyllic country place for the
merry hustle in the market place of q

that the representatives of the powers

the Armenian administration are await

governments. In the meantime the re-
fusal of the Porte to acquiesce in the
proposed foreign control of Armenia
is regarded as stroke of success on the
part of Grand Vizier Djevad Pasha
which has averted his resignation and
consequent changes in the Turkish Min
istry.
The chief causes of the agressiveness
of the Bedouins at JiddaIh are their OBJ

adopted against pilgrims to and from
Mecca, especially the latter and the
erection of huts for the use of pilgrims
outside the City of Jiddah. These meas
