or Magyar art music seems to have
gained the widest admiration, and 1t IL
certain that musical executants Of the
first order. and in the case of List of
unique grandeur, have justified part
OF the expectations with which musical
Europe has long looked upon Hungary.
Magyar music can be likened to moth.
ing more APPLY than to the exclusively
Hungarian river Thesis. Capricious
and majestic, teemlng with life and
sitting up for miles, surrounded by
charming Torture of water lilies and
alder trees and suddenly again by poi
sonous marshes and swamps, such Is
the Thesis, such is Hungarian music
stirring, bewildering. ~unspcakably sad
dcnlng, i~neXpressibly celebrating. 1t
is the music of rhapsodlc souls. Of in.
toXication, of the battlefield, of wild
war dances after the victory. But, like
the great river, it cannot be regulated.

DIET DELUSlONS.
They Come Down to us From the Old
BarbnrOus Tribes.

Tribes.
Some diet delusions are of most mod
ern date, while others are of most re-
spectacle antiquity. Among the latter
is that very ancient survival. the no
ton that particular foods are good"
for particular things or effects.
This Is an almost direct descendant
OF the notion, held with greater or less
unanimity by nearly all savage and
barbarous tribes, that the flesh or Wis
cera OF birds and animals possessing
particular qualities will be likely to
produce the same qualities in those
who eat them.
Thus Nero used to banquet on night
ingales' tongues In the hope Of improv-
Ing his voice, and the savage cut out
and devoured the heart Of the bear,
the liver Of the buffalo, etc, believing
that the strength and courage of these
animals would thereby be transferred
to himself.
1t Is probable that the most grew
some Of ancestral rites-cannibalism-
was largely due to the same belief, al
though. of course. in Neanderthal days
primitive man would have no more
hesitancy about eating his enemy after
he had killed him than he would In de-
vOuring a bear or u deer.
In fact, the early converts Of the
missionaries in the South Sea islands
referred to their favorite dish as "long
pig" Every known race has Mt some
time been cannibal.-McClure's Maya
zine.
