The Theater Magazine for March contains
an interesting letter from Victorien Sar-
dou on the subject of the New York per-
formances of "Parsifal' in opposition to
the wishes of Wagner's family. The great
French dramatist writes:
For us Frenchmen the question of an
authors ownership of his own production
is no longer debatable; it was long ago set
famous dictum: Literary Property is
Property. To my way of thinking literary
productions are more in the nature of prop
erty than any other kind of property; more
so than a garden or n house, for instance
which is built on land that already exists
out of materials that also already exist
Anybody can build house. 1t is simply
a question of money. But where are the
persons who can create a Hamlet or a
Tartuffe? So much for the principle of the
ownership of literary property. Now an
other important cOnsideration-the authors
rights in his property. 1t goes without
saying that the author. being the owner of
his own work, possesses all the rights per-
tanning to property, and, in the case of n
dramatic piece, has the right TO decide how
it shall be presented on the stage. 1t can
not be admitted for an instant that the
theater manager or the translator who have
failed in the part-tradutOre traditore-
changing by Suppressions the very char
acter of the work, introducing modifica-
tons and making additions, can infringe i'm
any way on the literary ownership of the
author whom they have misused The
same holds good as regards the bad acting
of a play. In word in answer to the
question whether literary or musical work
is the property of the author the trans
lator or the theatrical manager, | do not
the property of the first named.

The Bye and Bye.

A wee bird singeth TO the soul
sad. yet hopeful lay,
To sweeten sorrows bitter dole
And drive despair away;
Or when the faint heart fainter grows
And clouds obscure the sky.
Repeats the gladest note he knows
Of sunshine bye and bye.
His blithest call by hut or hall,
His tenderest. twittered cry,
Hath this refrain for mortals all:
THE better. bye and bye!'
gentIest bird, your note I've heard
Through many stormy years;
1t Oft TO hope my pulse has stirred
And stilled my coward fears.
Though farther far than sun or star
The goal you sing may seem,
No sense Of distance comes to mar
The magic OF the dream
II weaves for me, till worry free.
l trus; your orphic cry.
And dimly the Joy be
My kingdom bye and bye.
But wherefore ply the bye and bye
For aye? or. tell me this:
Why for the future sing or sigh
And count present bIiss?''
When thus I'd queried, softly came
The answer warbled low.
Hope is a present. JOY. a flame
That blesses with its glow;
And so l sing. head under wing.
The dawn that draweth nigh.
The fadeless dawn that love shall bring.
The radiant bye and bye"

The growth of corn has not been rapid,
but its condition, in general, is good;
warmer weather is needed to advance
it to a seasonabIe stage of growth. Cul-
tivation continued throughout the
week in the northern half of the state.
and a large proportion of the crop has
been laid by; this work in the southern
half was delayed by wet conditions.
Further improvement in the condi-
ton of oats is reported: and, except
in the northern district, a full average
crop is now expected. a good crop of
wheat is being harvested in the central
and southern districts. Although there
is some complaint OF rust, the quality
of the grain is generally believed to be
excellent. In the northern district,
where but little is raised. il is thin
and rusty but well headed. The har-
vest was delayed by rains in the
southern portion-it is about One-half
done
Meadows are in excellent condition,
except in the north where the crop OF
hay will be below average: the har-
vest will begin next week if conditions
are favorable Pastures are getting
snort in the northern district but are
excellent elsewhere.
The fruit outlook, except for berries
and grapes. is very discOuraging; ap-
DIes continue to drop. and many trees
are bare of fruit The potato crop is
good except in the northern district
where late varieties have not had
sufficient moisture
