Wagner when young man wrote a
sonata which had 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-
erable thing still unsOld?' Yes" was
the reply; Il have quite 4 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 Il 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
81 thought you had only a thousand
of these things" he protested. That
was all L had in stock" explained the
dealer. "but these have been returned
by my agents, to whom 1 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 n few
hundred copies of the sonata would be
struck off on shopworn paper and de-
livered at the composers door. with
memorandum to the effect that they
had just come back from remote places

people and the United States govern
ment, declaring that he wished to
thank the various United States organ

bers of commerce. for their enthusias-
tic efforts in behalf of peace.
1t is also understood that the en-
perOr spoke warmly of the excellent
rclations-hiStorical traditional and

Russia, and expressed a. hope that both
powers, with their great resources,
would continue to stand for peace and
the strengthening of The Hague tri-
bunal and the bloOdleSS adjustment of
international difficulties.
His majesty expressed a conviction.
that the peace conference marked an
important step i'm advance. but that

matter American opinion was univers-

a cheese Roast.

Those who insist upon eating cheese
should take the precaution to cook it
thoroughly before eating. 1t is for this
reason that some people who are un-
able to eat raw cheese find themselves
able to eat toasted cheese without diff
ficulty. Toasting the cheese does not,
however, increase its digestibility. but
rather the reverse. Its beneficial effect,
if any, is from the destruction of the
virulent microbes which are present
and which are capable Of giving rise
to symptoms even more distressing
than those of ordinary indigestion. The
best method of dealing with cheese is
TO give it to the pigs, as it is nothing
more or less than decayed milk, fit only
for scavenger diet. = Sanitary and
