When Possessed With u Poetic Idea
An Nrnfn Ii In Music.

" IcH OSNcSSeu - A"~"s
He Wrote 1t In Music.
Gin one of his writings Wagner tells
US that he never felt any musical III
spiration unless a dramatic idea had
taken complete possession Of him.
writes Houston Stewart Chamberlain
on ''How Richard Wagner Wrote His
Operas" in The Ladies' Home Journal.
when this was the case, the different
~personages would, n after another,
obtrude upon his fancy, gaining grad
ually in bodily consistency. Then, all
of a sudden. in the dusk of evening, one
Of these creatures of his fancy would
rise up before him. gazing ut him with
eyes wide open. Fascinated and almost
trembling, Wagner would remain with
eyes fixed on those of his guest from
dreamland. Eut. 10, the shadows lips
tremble and open! What issues fl ON
them is neither words nor song. 1t is a
superhuman language, but the poet un-
derstands it. and it remains ringing in
his ears when the apparition has van
ished. This is the precise moment Of in
spiration. All that follows is more or
less mechanical. more or less %fortuitous.
Whether a work be written out and
completed sooner or later will depend
upon all sorts Of circumstances-time,
health, etc.
This, then. is the essential thing to
remember-that Wagner never could
compose unless driven to do SO by a
poetical idea peremptorily demanding
the language of music for its full and
adequate expression, and that, once this
poetical and dramatic idea clearly and
permanently migrated in his mind. it
'included'-if l may SO say-the music,
which came Of itself whenever the au-
thor could find time for the business Of
writing out the score"

Farming In O1den Times.

The Romans Were the first people to
practice blowing between the rows Of
wheat as we do between corn. The idea
was suggested in a singular manner. 4
warlike tribe, having ravished a section
Of land at the base Of the Alps, under
took to destroy the growing crops by
blowing them up, but instead it was
found that the rows accidentally hilled
were twice as large as those that were
not. The harrow or hoe used BY the
Chinese farmer is Of the rudest con-
struction. The pillow is usually drawn
by women of the lowest classes.
Two hundred and fifty years ago,
when the corn stolen from the Indians
by Puritan ancestors was planted in
the sand Of Cape Cod, the only instru-
ment used was a ponderous and i'll
shaped Dutch hoe, which required a
heavy man to handle at all. Our first
processes were not much in advance of
those Of the barbarians Of central Eu-
rope. Today we number several hun
dred tools, from the most delicate to
the splendid specimen OF the combined
reaper and thrasher, which cuts,
thrashes, winnows and bags grain at
the rate Of hundreds Of bushels per day.

Serious Wreck on the Indiana, Decatur

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 20.-A wreck oc.

Western railway at $50 a. m.. so miles
west OF Indianapolis. The indianapolis
express, eastbound. due to arrive at
this city at $3.50 a. m. left the tracks
west Of a high trestle and passed over
the ~trestle, which was 60 feet long, with
seven coaches off the rails and humping
along the ties. The trestle was so feet
high and it is considered phenomenal
that the train was not hurled off into
the creek, in which event the loss Of life
would have been appalling. The rear
car had just left the trestle when a
spreading of the rails ahead of the bag
gage coach piled the seven cars into a
heap. The baggage car and smoker
were ground almost into splinters and
all OF the cars were badly wrecked. E..

n SIX
Some Incidents of That Mad Ride to
Death at Balaklava.


Of that mad but heroic charge a hun
dred incidents are preserved-thrilling,
humorous. shocking. The Cornhill
Magazine tells of a man Of the Seven
teeuth lancers who was heard to shout,
just as they raced i'll upon the guns, q
quotation from Shakespeare, who is
there here would ask more men from
England
The regimental butcher Of the Seven
teenth lancers was engaged in killing q
sheep when be heard the trumpets sound
for the charge. He leaped on a horse.
In shirt sleeves. with bare arms and
pipe in mouth, he rode through the whole
charge, slew, it is said, six men with
his own hand, and came back again,
pipe still III mouth!
\ private of the Eleventh was under
arrest for drunkenness when the charge
began. but he broke out, followed his
troop on a spare horse, picked up a
sword as he rode, and shared in the
rapture and perils Of the charge. The
charge lasted 20 minutes, and was ever
before such daring or such suffering
packed into a space so brief: The squad
rons rode into the fight numbering 673
horsemen; their mounted strength when
the fight was over was exactly 1875.
1t was all a blunder. but it evoked a
heroism which made the blunder itself
magnificent. And as long as brave deeds
can thrill the Imagination Of men the
story will be remembered Of how
Stormed at with shot and shell.
Boldly they rode and well
INTO the jaws If death,
Into the mouth OF hell
