WAGNER AS A HuMoRisT.

urally ascribe the faculty of ready jol-
Ing. 1t is not from the creator of the
serious. somber Flying Dutchman"
or the composer of The half-mystical,
half-religiOus opera "Parsifal" that n
would expect cheerful FRANKS at the
expense of other people. Nevertheless,
an instance is on record of how the
great tOne-painter of Baireuth played a
very funny trick IN a newspaper and
probably a good many of the readers
accustomed to relying on what 1t said.
1t was in the fifties. Wagner, then
still climbing the ladder Of fame, was
conducting the Philharmonic concerts
In the British metropolis for q ceason.
Being, ms he remained to to the end, a
very ardent adnirer of Beethoven, anG.,
In fact. knowing hat masters nina
symphonies by heart, he selected sew
eral OF them for performance in the
said series of concerts.
The first time, then. that Wagner
conducted a Beethoven symphony ia
London the public received the rendi-
ton kindly enough. but the next MORN
ing a certain newspaper with a very
large circulation, came out with a
rather severe criticism. The author Of
"Lohengrin" was in cold print, but in
unreserved terms. scolded for directing
a symphony by the immortal Beethoven
without n score In front of him. Such
q proceeding, to which London was un-
accustomed. was sheer presumption, so
ran the criticism. And after further.
uncomplimentary remarks, the great
and influential journal advised young
Herr Wagner to use a score when he
conducted a Beethoven symphony
again. Well. soon Herr Wagner did.
this time with a book of music open be-
fore him on his desk. He was seen to
turn over the leaves with a certain
amount of regularity. too. His reward
came. the X day. in the form of a
commendatory article in the aforesaid
newspaper, which praised him for d
very much bettts. Interpretation OF
Beethoven than his last, due. OF course.
to the suggested use Of the score.
Whereupon Wagner 1--WE think our pun

announced the fact that the score IN

that Of Rossini's opera. THE Barber of
Seville" turned upside do IN.

our army is a great fraternal broth
erhood and the new members, who b.
long to all classes of society andswh
join us with hearts glowing with patti
otism, should be made to feel at hon,
from the very first day"
These few words taken from the
French generals order may possibly
explain to the German people why Il
Frenchman Is proud to be found capa-
bic of service in the army, while a
German breads it, writes a prominent
Berlin paper.
Too Many Princes.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg say.
that the cZar has decided that there
are too many princes in Russia and
that most of the exotic creatures car
rying this proud title, and Whom y.c
know SO we'll in Paris and at Monte
Carlo, have no right to any title what
ever.
AS a rule they come from Caucasus.
where they are as numerous as colonies
in Kentucky.
Convinced hat these halt civilized
people disgrace Russian nobility in
other countries. Car Nicholas has APP
pointed Il commission to separate the
tares from the wheat.
The poor members of the commission
are having no s%inccure, as many of
these princes claim that the titles were
conferred upon their ancestors to the
time when Colchis Mingrelia and Inn
eritia were Independent kingdoms.
The kings of these ancient states
were evidently very liberal in bestow-
ing titles.
One Caucasian prince claims that one
on his forefathers was made a prince
because of picking up a belt which his
sovereign dropped was very much
hurt when the commissioners decided
that he was to be called prince no more.
The origin of the kaiser's polypuy,
which has started the people of two
h~emispheres is no longer n mystery.
The Society of Anti-Tobacco Smokers
have settled beyond a doubt-cr, at
least. to their own satisfaction-that
had the kaiser never smoked his vocal
cords would never have needed the sur
geon's knife.
A Great Smoker.
Like most Germans. the kaiser is al.
inveterate smoker. and delights in u
pipe of good Havana, especially pre-
pared for him. He recently added a
most gorgeous m~eerschaum pipe, with
Il turquoise m%outhpiece decorated with
the German eagle, artistically carved.
and n large Nv" In gold. to his already
unique collection of pipes.
The society is said to have sent q
petition to the kaiser asking him fc,
the sake of the fatherland to give up
smoking.
The kaiser. however. has no such in
tention, and is looking forward with
great pleasure to the day when his ply
sicians Will ALLOW him the use of his ia
vorite pipe.

WEAVING PERSIAN CARPETS.
Boys Work Mt the Looms and Carry
Out the Patterns with
Great Skill.

A most interesting sight is the local
manufacture of Persian carpets. Eight
or nine boys, whose ages range from
eight to IL, sit in rows at the looms" ac-
cording to The Modern Priscilla, "and
with the wool, which they pull from
reels suspended above them, in their
left hands, and fiat knife crooked at the
point, in their right dash, with three
movements, the thread through the web
strings, hook it into the desired knot,
and cut off the surplus ends, starting an
other knot before the spectator has real
lied what has been done. Having been
shown the design and coloring of the
carpet they are to work for the first two
or three feet, these boys rely on their
memories for the remainder of their
task, for on only two or three looms is
the design of the carpet to be seen af-
fixed, and then only in. plain penciled
drawing When nearing complicated
parts or medallions, boy r. or IA years
old, the foreman of the loom, who has
the design seemingly imprinted on his
mind, walks up and down, calling out in
quaint, sing-song manner, the num-
Der of stitches and the colors of the
threads to be used"
