1.-THE vaIkyrie is the second opera in

which has been drawn from the Scandina-
Wan Eddas and the old epic OF the Nibe-
lungenlied; but considerably remodeled,
modified and amplified by the marvellous
art OF Wagner's mighty genius. In the first
scene We are introduced into the dwelling
of a mighty warrior, Hunding, in whose
house siegmund, the son Of Wotan and a
mortal woman, has sought refuge, not
knowing that il is the home of an enemy.

him and departed he finds him guest.

the laws of hospitality until the morning,
when Hunding warns him he will slay him.
Hunding then retires with his wife, who
secretly puts a sleeping powder into his
evening potion. After per husband falls to
sleep siegllnda returns TO slegnund. Then

an outlay of twenty-four thousand
dollars by the time they get away

are there no other crops that would
prove more profitable? If boy turns
out to be cigarette fiend with a
breath like a turkey buzzard and a

donkey feel at home in his society
and with an untrammeled and I'M

MILLIONS
OF GOLD FISH
Demand for the Finny Tribe
by Children of Japan
Makes Industry Thrive

All young goldfish just Matched are
dark in color. the bright colors COM
ing only later. A great deal of ex-
perience and skill are needed in max
ing the goldfish change its color from
black to red If person who is not
an expert tries his hand in raising a
lot OF young goldfish he will find to
his sorrow that the fish remain black
and do not assume bright colors, while
those which may be from the very
same lot of eggs, but have been under
the care OF a professional breeder. may
have all donned the beautiful hues-
The essential points to be attended
to IN bringing about this change seem
10 be (1) that the young fish should
be given plenty of food. (2) that they
should be exposed TO the suns rays
and be kept as warm as possible. and
CD that the water OF the pond in
which the young are kept should be
changed occasionally, although sudden
transfer from warm 10 cold water in
the middle Of the day is to be avoided.
The change of color begins in about
sixty or eighty days from the time OF
Matching, and by the middle OF August
the fish should all have lost the dark
pigment and acquired bright colors.
I have just now no available statis-
tics IN regard TO the output Of goldfish
in Japan, but the number produced
must be millions upon millions II
shows the power of children in the
nation, for they are par excellence the
customers of these establishments. It
is said that in the old regime, even
in years when famine was stalking in
the land and hundreds were dying from
starvation. there was q tolerabie trade
in goldfish, proving the truth of an
old proverb: Crying children and
landlords must not be disputed. De
