all in search of the delicate flowers.
They are not out collecting because
they are charmed with the early blos-
SONS, nor do they wander through the
woods plucking wild blossoms for their
heath. Their industry is strictly com
mtreial, for the May flower is favor
ite in New York, Eoston, Philadelphia
and other large cities OF the east, and
every spring the woods are stripped Of
them and they are packed in moss and
shipped TO town, where they are sold at
high prices.
So regular is the demand for the
dainty waXlike blossoms that profess
sional flower hunters make a business
of searching out the secret blooming
grounds of the arbutus, stake out their
claims as they would take up mining
claims every spring. and wait for the
blossom harvest. Gathering May flow

MUSIC AND SCENERY.

never intended, he will tell you, to be
performed by itself, but TO bo played
as an accompaniment to the action,
for the purpose OF heightening the
effect of the intensely dramatic situa-
tions coupled with gorgeous stage
pictures that are inseparable from
Wagners famous art work, says the
London Mail.
The most important part of Wag.
ner opera, according to the composer
himself, is not the music, but the
drama, which, indeed, the beginner
should closely follow with the aid of
the book of words, since the music
is usually sung in German words.
The intending Wagnerite should
also begin with the masters most
popular works, "Tannhauser" and
"Lohengrin." He will then at once
recognize the familiar music he has
already heard so often at concerts,
and, struck by it's beauties, he will
attend many performances of these
two. Next year he will want to hear
these again, supplemented by "Tris-
tan und Isolde" that wonderful music
drama so charged with intense emo
tion and passion. Having heard "Tris-
tan" and liked it he thereupon be-
comes full-ledged Wagnerite in the
true sense, and the season after he
attends performances of the Ring

supreme effort to get to Beyreuth.
From Beyreuth he returns the ar

name he terrifes his friends by pro-
nouncing in the German fashion, not
Wagner. but "Vaachkner."
