The Baireuth Idolatry Of Wagner.

AS affording al insight into the crit
ical methods of the Baireuth circle, let
us take as striking example one Of the
most untirng of the bodyguard Emer-
ich Kastner, who, as the compiler OF
Wagner catalogue--a catalogue Of writ
ings and musical works by and upon
Richard Wagner-had acquired the rank
and title of great archivist of Wagne-
rian literature Kastner introduced
new, critical method, based OH the num-
Der of beats and the metric measure and
began to measure out the works of Wag-
ner as one would stretch of roadway
or field, with the intention and con-
viction of discovering an unsupported
and highly important principle i'll art.
By careful computation Kastner found
that "Rienzi" contained $3.50 beats;
the Flying Dutohman," 4, 434; "Tann-
hauser," 4,831; "Lohengrin," 5,l29;
the "Meistersinger," 6,5l3. He then
announced, by means Of demonstration
whose secret will remain eternally in
scrutable, that the life destiny and ar
tistic experiences Of Wagner were re-
Elected in these dry numbers. In fact, he
went still farther and grouped together
the number of beats in every single
scene from the operas of the master,
continually calculating, adding and sub
tracing until he reached through pure
ly arithmetical methods, the establish.
ment of psychological laws.
This absurd sport, played by him with
figures and notes, many of his colleagues
pursued with the words, syllables, nay,
even the single letters, of Wagner texts.
Thus literature was created whereby
mental criticism was to be replaced by
those mechanical instruments-th bal
ance, the microscope and the knife of
the vivisector. All these researches,
prosecuted with much ardor, clearly
demonstrated to what degree artistic
views may be lowered through blind
idolatry. Herr Alexander Moszkowski

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inAamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the eustach-
ian tube. When this tube gets inhamed
you nave rumbliug sound or imperfect
hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be DESTROYED forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured bv Halls Catarrh

The Afternoon Nap.

The frequency with which medical
men are asked whether it is harmful to
indulge in the afternoon nap is not,
perhaps, surprising for several reasons
Most persons have had experience in
the seductive charms Of the somnolence
which has followed the comfortable in
gestion of a midday or evening meal.
The meal finished, the diner arranges
himself comfortably in an armchair; it
may be he lights pipe or cigar, takes up
newspaper and prepares to make the
most of the restful conditions of his
mind and body. But nature soon begins
to assert her sway. In time the eyelids
close, the head begins to nod, the news
paper falls from the hands, the pipe, no
longer supported in the mouth, falls to
the floor, and the symptoms Of a nap
are complete. Whether the winks be 40
or 100 in number, the result is the same
"a short, sound Sleep
Then comes the question, Is it harm
full thus to fall asleep after meal? By
no means, for the very obvious reason
that the process is merely physiolog-
ical one, and as such, when it occurs, is
quite natural. When digestion is in
progress, nature has arranged that all
the available blood in the body shall be
collected in and about the digestive Or
gans. Consequently the blood supply tc
the brain falls to low ebb, and thus
sleep is easily induced. On the other
hand, of course. physiologically, it is
wrong for brain work to be attempted

death penalty for the crime Of murder.

house made long speeches in favor of
the bill-so long as to be found weari-

with the opinions expressed. When the
third man had finished, young men,
Der on the other side Of the chamber
rose and said very sarcastically:
''Mr. Speaker. l rise to a question Of
privilege.
''The gentleman will state his ques.
tion of privilege" said the speaker.
"Mr. Speaker, I wish to inquire Of
our friends of the other side of the house
which they think is preferable-to be
hanged or to be talked to death?''
The question was greeted by applause.
Then suddenly some one with very
loud voice said:
"Oh, we'll, if you're going to talk
we prefer to be hanged. Youths
