A WAGNER ANEcDorE, -. .
siow He showed His Joy at a par
siial" Rcbcnrsal.


The following enecdote OF Wagner Is
told by Alfred Eeisenauer, the pianist,
who, Us q pupil OF List, knew the
composer of "Parsifal' personally.
Wagner was always more or less
self conscious" says Reisenauer, land
only at rare intervals did his friends
zee him In moods that could be called
anything but premeditated. In Bal
reuth saw him in highly character
lstic situation, and | never shall for
get 1t. 1t was at a rehearsal! OF Par
sifal.' The garden scene had just been
admirably sung and danced, where
upon Wagner, in bis eXuberant joy,
Rugged and kissed the artists, and
then, quite beside himself, gor down on
all fours and barked like n dog, con-
Guiding his exhibition by throwing his
legs IN the air and balancing himself
OH his head
AT this interesting moment List
and several OF his pupils, Including
myself, walked on the stage. Quick as
Hash, List, who always played the
role Of Wagner's self constituted de-
fender, said grimly, Well il that's Il
pose, It's the hardest one in the world
to hold. by hnnderv For the sake OF
the mcister we tried TO restrain our
mirth, but the effort was not wholly
successful. firmly believe, however,
that Wagner himself was secretly
pleased 1T the sensation for which he
was responsible. -Harpcr's Weekly.

Protect Yourself Against
Germs.
People With Weak Stomachs Most
Liable to Catch Disease.

When the stomach and digestive or
gans are weak, the food does not digest,
and there is sour. Shiny, fermentiug
mass, making it an an ideal spot for the
disease germs to multiply. The only
way to protect yourself against disease
germs is to strengthen the stomach and
digestive organs, and Mona is the
only agent, so far as is known, that will
accomplish this.
The ordinary medicine that is taken
for Indigestion and stomach troubles is
advertised to act upon the food alone.
and hence can give no more than temp
orary relief. Mi-o-na is a certain cure
for ali cases of stomach troubles. ex-
cepting cancer, because it enables the
stomach and digestive organs To act in
the way Nature intended they should
Drugs can not digest the food; they
simply decompose it.
If you suffer with distress after eat
ing, pains in the head, chest, sides and
back, belching of gases and undigested
food bad taste in the mouth. dizziness.
or vertigo, heartburn,variable appetite,
sick headaches, spots before the ewes
and have general feeling of despond-
ency, weakness and debility you should
at once strengthen the stomach and d.
gestive system by the use of Mi-o-na.
There is no liquid, no alcohol, no spoon
full doses with Mi-n-na Just one sim
pie tablet out of a fifty-cent box before
eating, and your stomach will soon be-
come so strong and healthy that YOU
will be germ proof. Ask c. NJ. Crosby
d Co, TO show you the guarantee under
which they sell Mi-o-na; costs nothing
unless it cures.

Cutting a Cameo.

It Is said that the stone from which
canoes are cut--onyX and sardonyX-
is SO plentiful on the Uruguay river,
In Brazil, that ships often take it away
as ballast. Nevertheless perfect pieces
of large size are costly, piece suit
able for large portal costing as much
as SO. This stone is preferred for
canoes because of its hardness and
durability and is suitable for such work
owing to the fact that it comes in lay
erS of contrasting color, rs black and
white. black and cream or red and
white. When the cut figure Is sunk in
to the stone instead of being raised the
cutting is called an intaglio. The cost
of these gems Is due to the time and
Skill required in the work Formerly
a small gem might occupy an artist for
n year Or more. but with modern ap-
planes the work can be done much
more rapidly. Still the ancient work
bear; Tie palm for artistic excellence.
The cutting is now done by holding
the stone against Il revolving drill
whose soft steel face is covered with
diamond dust. No steel is hard enough
to cut the stone. The utmost patience
and caution and delicate handling are
required. rs the slightest slip may be
fatal to the work.

HOY a Fish Rreathcs.

The gillS Of fish are situated at the
back part of the sides of the head aud
consist OF Il number of vascular men,
blanes, which are generally arranged
in double, frinseiike rows, attached to
the parts by the base only. In some
cases these membranes are feather
shaped, in others mere folds attached
to the sides of the gill cavities. The
fish is cold blooded animal-that is to
say, its temperature is seldom more
than Il degree or two higher than the
water In which it lives. This being
true, the creature needs but a very
small amount of oxygen to keep the
blood ut temperature sufficiently high
to sustain life. This oxygen is sup
piled to the blood of the fish by respir-
ing large quantities of water, or, rath-
err, drinking large quantities of water,
and respiring the air separated from
1t by the gills. This explains why n
fish cannot live in IL tank of water
which has been sifted through the gills
time and time again any better than II
human being or other animal can in
air that has been deprived Of all its OK
ygen by being taken into lungs and ex-
PEELED without being aerated. Fish
that die in the stale water of aqua
RUINS may be properly said to drown,
because they perish for want Of air,
the same thing which occasions death
by drowning in man and other lung
breathing animals.

Red. White. Green Seas.

The colors of pure ocean water and
the varying shades observed where i'm
purities are met with are diversified
by the col0ring effects of the enormous
multitudes Of various forms of organ
lied life which sometimes mask the
natural color of the surface Of the sea
and tlnge extensive areas with remark
able colOrs. Red appears to be most
frequently met with. In the southern
parts Of the Red sen and in the Ara
bian gulf large areas are colored blood
red by microscopic animalculae, and in
the Indian ocean similar forms of life
cause. In addition to red, milk white
or yellow spots of great extent, the
appearance Of which is frequently
alarming to the ignorant sailor. OF
the Guinea coast ships sometimes APP
pear to float in milk. Extensive red
streaks are also known to occur in the
south Atlantic and south Pacific, which
are caused by hosts of small red crus-
tacea. The "Vermilion sea" Of Cali
fOrnia owes Its brilliant color to In
fusoria. Areas colored green have been
noted. especially In the arctic regions,
which are due to myriads Of dIatoms,
and in some portions Of the antarctic
seas diatOms of rusty color make the
water n dirty brown.
