directly into Mr.. Reeds company and
has been with him ever since. Last
year her career very nearly ended in a

Mascagni, he has always that one opera.
Most Of us would be content to have
written just that and then cease to be.
There are parts Of it that will Die not
till the the whole world dies" There is
the Seduction song we heard Scalchi
sing three years ago. that would seduce
the archangels themselves as in the
days when the sons of God saw that the
daughters OF men were fair Then there
is the intermezzo, yes there is the inter
mezzo. 1t would be worth writing
whole opera for that alone. 1t is unique
in music as The City of Dreadful
Night" is in poetry. With its bass that
labors and fails and struggles, that
suffers and protests in it's black despair;
its treble that never yields, never
falters. dips sometimes toward the lower
octaves like bird that is faint with its
death wound, and then flies on, flies on.
That treble that knows and sees the
hopelessness Of all things and yet never
waivers; love betrayed that still loves on,
hope deferred that still hopes on; it is
the despair which passes despair, despair
sublime, impersonal, and full of awe as
though it comprehended universal fulfil.

They say that Mascagni is at work on
a new opera, The news is not entirely
welcome for ten chances to one it means
another disappointment. 1t has been
several years now since the advent of
Cavalleria Rusticana and yet Mascagni
has done nothing worthy Of himself
since then. People have begun to
doubt whether he will ever again equal
those magnificent measures that hunger
and poverty and despair drove him to.

Carmen stands for Bizet So
often these peculiar and unique works
Of art are without successors. Not
every composer can be like Verdi, great
hundred times. There is kind of
musical genius which rather lacks
musical intelligence, a sort Of emotional
tone fury which expresses itself once
and dies. The muse plays queer tricks
with men, and she can only be courted.

all men. Sometimes she is as constant
as Penelope, as she has been to Verdi
for these eighty years. Sometimes she is

no! Calve. its the same the world over.
The chickens ''fiutter" for the corn just
as the frock coats that will crowd the
Metropolitan this winter go for the
song and name. Chickens are not
adept at disiDterested affection any more
than the rest of us. Olive Schriner
colored her thrilling novel The African
Farm" with the lucid sentence, The
chickens were wiser" They certainly
are not foolish enough to cherish dis
interested passion for Calve. Besides,
Calve, if it were not for your voice and
the corn, why in the name Of goodness
should either we or the chickens love
you-for your temper?
Calve, in a wild letter to a friend in
Paris said she wished she need never re-
turn to the stage but could spend all
her life warbling the great master among
her chickens. Well, now no one is COM
polling Calve to return to the stage. II
she prefers the chickens let her have
them and Marble Bizet's impassioned
measures to them until they become
very nightingales. Perhaps che can
even train rooster orchestra. II she
loves chickens better than two thousand

cares. Actors and singers are always
talking about longing to exchange the
calciums for the sunlight. champagne
for spring water and grease paint for
new mown hay. But in the end they
generally find that the calciums are bet

payne to their digestion. They are al
ways wishing they could return to the
old homestead and go a-haying in the
meadows and fish in the brook and live
there the world forgetting, by the world
forgot. They forget that there never
were any fish in the brook, and that in
the hay field there is tan and sweat and
dirt as we'll as the odor OF clover. IL
they should try that sort of life for three
weeks their artistic temperament would
be so panied, and their artistic tempers
would become so awry that the other
inhabitants of the dear old homestead
would find 1t expedient to move into
town. There was but one authentic

spectators purchased 500 acres of land to
be used for a deer park. The park was
surrounded by barbed wire fence, eight
feet high, and contained many deer A
breeding place was established and of
The question arises, can these deer be
taxed, they being regarded as wild ami
mails, very often roaming at will in the
woods The Steuben assessors taxed 40
deer at 81 apiece. The corporation will
probably protest against this tax, but, as
yet. nothing has been heard in regard to
the matter
Here is another case which is rather
peculiar; \ manufacturer of lumber has
