Mulcting Wagner.

Wagner when young man wrote a
sonata which had a fair success, but in
after life he made every effort to sup
press it. Going to the publisher, he
said, Have you any copies of that mis-
cradle thing still unsold?" "Yes," was
the reply; II have quite number of
them in stock" ''Send them to me at
once, with bill" said the composer.
A thousand copies were soon after
ward delivered at his door. The bill
was a big one, but it was paid, some
what grudgingly, and Wagner thought
he had done with the thing, What
was his surprise, then, at receiving two
Or three months later on another con-
signment, this time of 500 copies.
u thought you had only'a thousand
of these things he protested. "That
was all had in Stock" explained the
dealer, "but these have been returned
by my agents, to whom l wrote that
you wished to have the sonata sup
pressed" Wagner WINGED, but there
was nothing for it but to pay the bill.
And thereafter whenever business was
dull with this crafty publisher a few
hundred copies Of the SONATA would be
struck off on shopworn paper Giiu de.
hvered at the composers door. with n
memorandum to the effect that they
mad just come back from remote places
where they had been sent for sale.

Contests OF EGGS.

From the remotest ages the egg has
been looked upon as the symbol Of ere
alton, or new birth. According to the
Persians, the world was hatched from
nh egg at that season Of the year which
corresponds to the vernal equinox.
Hence the Parsees still exchange gifts
Of colored eggs at the new year festi-
val, which they celebrate at this date.
Among the Jews the egg entered into
all the mysterious ceremonies called
apocalyptic and occupied prominent
position on the household table during
the paschal season. Christianity. in
vested the paschal egg with a new sig
nticance-namely, that Of the resur-
recton Of Christ, and it was colored
red in allusion to his blood shed for
sinners on the cross.
A curious custom in medieval church
es, for priests and choristers to join IN
a game of ball at Eastertide, took Its
rise from the Easter egg, which was
thrown from one to the other or the
choristers in the nave Of the church
while an anthem was being sung. AS
a missed egg meant smashed egg, the
more durable handball was substituted.
But the smashing Of eggs continued
as a form Of outdoor sport. Survivals
are to be found among all Teutonic
and Anglo-Saxon people. A popular
game in England and Germany con-
sists in hitting one egg against anoth-
er, the egg that survives uncracked
winning for its owner the weaker an
tagonist, until an entire basket of eggs
may have changed ownership. Anoth-
err game is to trundle eggs down hill
or slope, those which reach the bottom
uncracked being similarly victorious
over the others.

TO GUARD THE LANDS.
Senate Agrees to mo Exploitation of
the Philippines.

Washington, Feb. 26-The early part
voted largely to an effort on the part of
leading senators on both sides to secure
modification Of the Philippine amend
ment to the army appropriation bill
which would render it possible to Sc
cure a vote upon it. After several con-
ferences an agreement was reached
which was found to be satisfactory to a
large majority of senators. The amend
ment to the original provision yesterday
introduced by Senator Hoar. was used
as the basis fdiscussiOn, but various
additions to made to it so that when
he again offered it in the senate it was
presented a provisO and read as follows:
Provided, that no sale or lease or
other disposition of the Philippine
islands or the timber thereon or the
mining rights therein shall be made:
and provided further that no franchise
shall be granted which is not approved
by the president of the United States
and is not in his judgment clearly
necessary for the islands and indespen-
sable for the interests of the people
thereof and which cannot, without
great public mischief be placed until
The establishment of permanent civil
government and all such franchises
shall terminate one year after the es-
adjustment of such permanent civil
government.
Senators Morgan, Rawins, + illman
and Bacon who had been among the
most determined opponents of the origi-
nal provision, We're all consulted con-
corning the amendment and all of
them except Mr.. Morgan indicated a
Willingness to let the amendment go
through after reasonable debate. Sena-
tor Morgan did not commit himself.
The democratic ecquiscence does not so
to the extent of agreeing to support
the entire Philippine provision but only
to the point of allowing ito reach the
voting stage. The republicans without
exception accept the modification of the
amendment.
