WAGNER'S HOMS.
How the Grent Composer Came to
Live In Daireuth.

How the Grent Composer Came TO
Live In Daireuth.
How Wagner came to make Bal
reuth his home Is rather interesting
story. He had long dreamed Of pos
sessing a theater where his compost
tons could be interpreted to suit his
ideas, but had little hope that the
dream would ever be fulfilled. When,
however, In his period Of greatest de-
preston and loneliness he formed the
friendship Of the late king Of Bavaria
It seemed suddenly as if all things
were possible to him. In 1867 his royal
protector instructed the celebrated
architect, Gottfried Semper, to prepare
the plans for the theater, which was
to be built at Munich. Through po-
ntcal and professional dissensions and
jealousics the town council Of Munich
refused permission for the erection Of
the theater there. In 1871 Wagner
visited Baireuth and, after taking
counsel with the celebrated bankers,
Messrs. Fenstel and Gross, decided
upon a site in that city. The munich
paIty of the town. correctly estimating
the financial advantages which would
accrue, presented Wagner with two
plots of land, one for the theatcr and
the other for his own house. The lat
ter was Immediately built, and in 1872
Wagner removed his family from
Trubchen, near Lucerne, to the new
home, Wahnfried. The corner stone Of
the theater was laid on his sixtieth
birthday, May %, 1872. 1t was esti-
mated that the thcater would cost
100000 thalcrs (about S250,00O, and
this sum was very largely raised by
Wagner societies throughout the world.
It was completed in 1876 and dedicated
with the presentation of der Ring des
Nibelungen" on Aug. 13 OF that year.
Since then it has been the Mecca Of
the lovers Of Wagnerian music from
all parts Of the world.

40 TURNS OF THE WHEEL
TEe Story OF the Rise and Fall Of :,
ComStock Fortune.

TEe Story OF the RiSe hnd rail- OF q
Comstock Fortune.
Sandy Bowers was teainster, his
wife 4 buxon and not uncomely Scotch
woman who took in washing and kept
a miners boarding house. 1t was In
the carly days Of Virginia City, before
men had grasped the full value Of the
discovery, and the teamste1, in com
pany with others of his kind, came
into possession of several hundred feet
on the lode at Gold Hill.
His claim became one Of the bonan-
zas Of the region, and Sandy found
himself richer than he had ever thought
any one could be. Neither he nor his
wife ever rose to the level of their for
tune. They remained the teamstcr and
the washerwoman to the end. There
is q story that neither could read nor
write. After giving an entertainment
at the international hotel such as that
hostelry Of many grandeurs had never
before seen they went to Europe for
two years.
When they came back they were still
the teamster and the washerwoman.
Europe had added no veneer. But the
money was still IN plenty. Money to
throw to the BIRDS" as the old man
was wont to say. Nevada was more to
their taste than anywhere else, so they
elected to remain there, and that
strange monument Of wealth, which Is
known all through Nevada and Cali
fornia as the Bowers mansion, was
built on the shore of Nashoe lake.
The site was one Of extraordinary
beauty, with the wall Of snow capped
Sierra behind it, the sapphire sweep Of
water in front. Money was never con-
sidered in its construction. II was
built Of quarricd stone and furnished
with the costliest San Francisco could
supply. A library CT books with San
dy's name on every volume was one Of
its features. The door handles were

getting old-scttled and dispensed a
lavish hospitality. Here an adopted
child whom they dearly loved and had
named Persia died. Here, too, later on
Sandy died and was buried in the gar
den under the shadow Of the Sierra.
And here-tbc shades of evening begin
ming to close on this strange drama-
poverty overlook his widow. She
strove to redeem her first losses by
speculation, throwing good money after
bad. In her case the wheel Of fortune
made a complete revolution. Her old
age saw her as poor as she had been in
her youth. She passed from stage to
stage and finally made a livelihood by
practicing fortune telling in San Fran
cisco, it having been always under
stood that she had the gift Of second
sight. The crystal in which she gazed
had shown her many things, but moth
ing stranger, more dramatic and va
ried than her own Iife.-San Francisco

TWO TON BLACKFiSH.
4 School That Was Driven Ashore
at Cape Cod.

4 School That Was Driven Ashore
ut Cape Cod.
One day in November several years
ago, the good people living on the
Massachusetts bay shore at the north
end Of Cape Cod were wrought to the
highest pitch Of excitement by the ar
rival Of an immense school Of black
fish which were on the fats chasing
bait, as the small fish they feed On are
called, and gradually working inshore.
The news spread like wild1re. WI
lage stores were hastily closed, school
boys deserted schoolrooms, and even
women focked to the shore. The fats
along the coast make out from half to
q mile and o half practically level and
almost dry at low tide where at high
tide is four to eight feet Of water. No
school Of blackfsh so large as this had
ever been heard of. And by good luck
the tide was ebbing
Hastily the, boats were launched,
each taking a half dozen men and
boys, those not rowing being armed
with sticks and pieces Of board. In a
quarter Of an hour they were In posi-
ton In half circle and to leawerd Of
the fish.
"Close in now" came from the com
modore," "and make all the noise you
CAM And they did, fairly churning
the water with boards and sticks. The
thousands Of squid and herring on
which the blackfsh were feeding as
sisted in this movement by getting In
to shoal water as far as possible so
that the blackfsh could not follow
them. The result was inevitable. The
fast ebbing tide soon began to leave
the big fish In such shoal water that
It was difficult for the larger ones to
swim. Gradually the circle Of boats
drew nearer and nearer, and In two
hours 80 per cent Of the entire school
was stranded on the fats. For weeks
after the villagers were engaged In
cutting up and trying out the oil. The
total catch netted some $4,000, many
Of the fish weighing two tons apiece

JAPANESE HOMES.
ehere Are No Doors or Passages Il
q TSDfcnl DWellinc

Z
n Typical Dwelling.
The Japanese house consists in the
main Of post at each corner and a
roof. The roof may or may not be cov-
cred with heavy channelcd purplisn
tiles 1t makes little difference In the
long run whether it is or is not, for Ii
It Is not tiled the first typhoon that
comes along removes it into some
bcdy's garden anything up to quarter
of mile away, and If 1t is tiled heav-
fly enough to resist the typhoon so
much the worse for the people under
meath it when the first genuine Garth
quake arrives But the odds are that it
will be burned down before either hap
pens, as the Japanese use very cheap
lamps and very fiery petroleum and
are regular children about fires. Of
COURSE something else is done to the
four posts and the roof before they be-
come q house In which births, mar
riages and deaths can take place. But
really remarkably little Is necessary.
Crossbcams are naturally added to
support the weight Of the roof, grooves
are made in the crossbeams and in
the platform raised foot or two above
the ground which constitutes the floor.
A Japanese house is ali on one floor
gencrally-in fact, one might say it is
all one floor. Between the grooves in
the floor and the grooves in the cross
beams are run shutters with paper
panels to divide the houses into What
ever number Of rooms the owner may
choose, which depends on tie number
Of bedrooms he may require. There
are no doors or passages in typical
Japanese house. In it every room acts
as a passage into the room beyond 1t,
and for the door you slide back the
panel that happens to be nearest to
you. For this sliding there are little
bronze sunk handles in the wooden
frames oS the panels. The outside pa
per shutters do not come quite to the
edge Of the platform floor; the grooves
along the edges are filed at night or In
severe weather with wooden shutters,
each Of which is held in its place BY
the one that follows it, the last one
being secured with a dimsy wooden
bolt.

TEETH AND SIGHT.

Decayed Mo1ars Cause Disturbance
OF the Ocular Nerves.
MANY people who come to me to have
their teeth attended to complain Incl
dentally Of failing eyesight, and when
1 tell them that bad teeth in nine cases
out Of ten are the cause few feel in
clined to believe me-" said a well
known New York dentist.
bad sight IS generally attributed to
overstudy. debilitated constitution and
q hundred and one other causes. But
have you ever heard any one place the
blame on the teeth? Bad teeth are the
direct result of insufficient application
Of the toothbrush, and bad eyesight,
resulting from the decayed molars ex-
citing disturbances Of the ocular
nerves, IS the next inevitable penalty.
That Is fact which seems to be little
known.
1.-The other day I extracted four de.
cayed teeth Of a young girl who was
almost totally blind. Her pupils were
dilated and insensible. 4 week after
1 had pulled her teeth her sight WAS
practically restored. Two months pre-.
vious to this cure the girl had been eX-
amined by an expert oculist, who,
after putting her to various eye tests,
designated the case as 'hysterical AMI
blyopia,' and guess that's about all
the satisfaction the girl got, judging
by her condition when she came to me.
In saying this do not think for a mo-
ment that am in any way prejudiced
against oculists. I merely cite the In.
stance.
In the course Of a year l attend to
the teeth Of scores Of people with i'm
paired vision, and in every case where
the teeth are drawn the sight is soon
after either greatly improved or entire
ly restored."-NeW York Times.
