the-Hudson. At Bayreuth the artists almost invariably give their services without charge and follow as far as possible the instructions and ideas Of Wagner. For the most part they dis courage any exhibition of emotion on the part of the audience, and never recognize any applause that may be given. When the operas were first produced there the audiences in- variably remained silent but this rule is not now generally observed, except in the production of "Parsifal." On those occasions the object is to secure every possible artistic reinforcement. The singer is supposed to be the mere agent of the literary expression, the auditorium is completely darkened and the orchestra is placed beneath the stage, out of sight of the audience. These traditions of the musical festi-. val have been maintained through the efforts of Wagners wife and his son Siegfried.
 The site selected by Mime. Nordica for her musical conservatory is one of the most beautiful spots on the Hudson. It is 30 miles from New York on the direct line of a railroad on the east bank of the river opposite the Jersey shore. The prominence l where the buildings are to be erected and which has been called Nordica Hill, rises 250 feet above sea level and commands broad sweep of the Hudsonsfor 25 miles, unrolling one of the most magnificent panoramic views that can be seen anywhere, not ex- cepting the Rhine. A short distance | from this hill is another which will | probably be reserved for the home | site of Nordica, as she intends to build substantial villa near the scene of ! her endeavors. This hill comprises about five acres and has been called
 Piney Point, because of the thick
 growth of pine trees that covers it. To the north of this eminence. there runs down sheer fors nearly 200 feet
 a precipice of solid rock. To the south.
 east runs the Croton river, along
 banks lined with forest trees.

Do You Wear a Soup Strainer?
The pretty girl drowned.

The pretty glrl trowned.
 Suppose" she said, that the waiter had spilled that plate of soup over your head. Would you have scooped the remnants off with your hand and eaten them?"
 No; certainly not" he answered, and with an air of disgust he looked from the window out at the bathers, the white sand and the sunlit sea.
 Then, for goodness sake." she cried. stop sucking them off your mustache. It is. hideous to see you. After every spoonful you open your mouth, and slowly and complacently, as if you were doing something lauda- ble, you take your mustache between your lips and suck the soup remnants from off the hairs. If you wouldn't t eat soup that had been among the hair on your scalp. why should you eat it after it has been among the hair on your upper lip2"
 He flushed.
 Many a young man has been jilted," said the girl, significantly, for eating soup out of his mustache."

q The Railroad Problem In Stare
and N8ti0n.

When Congress was in session during
the winter the railroad interests were
arguing strongly against the tendency
toward Capitalization. They talked much
and eagerly about the sovereignty of
the States and the disposition of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to invade the sphere of
the several commonwealth But now
that Congress is adjourned. these same
railroad interests have been declaimng
with earnestness against the tendency
on the part of the State Legislatures to
regulate the highways of commerce,
and declare that the only proper thing
is natio lal regulation. They have not
only been asking the States to defer
action in order that the national policy
may be carried out, but they were even
appealing TO President Roosevelt to
NEEDLE into the affairs of the States by
trying to e,suade Governors and legis-
iatures to drop pending measures. This,
of course, is something manfestly inn
possible for the President to do. 1t is
obvious enough, meanwhile, that the
larger aspects of railroad control must
belong to the central Government. On
the other hand, there will remain
great deal that will lie within the prop
er sphere of the particular States There
need be no conflict, either in principal
or in practice. The general standards Of
raiirosd administration must be fixed by
Congress and the Interstate Commerce
Commission. but there are many small |
or lines of railroad lying wholly within
States and subject only to State juris-
diction. The States may very properly

Of merit in it. He said the whole thing

To Test Butter and Cheese.

Professor +. II. harrington of the
University of Wisconsin dairy school an
nounces new plan by which butter
and cheese makers of the state may
send their products each month to the
dairy school for expert examination and
advice as TO merits and defects. The
purpose is to have the regular every
day products Of the factories examined
monthly by competent judges at the
dairy school. The results of the exam
nation, together with letter of advice,
will be returned to the butter and
cheese makers without delay, The pur-
pose of the new arrangement is to be
helpful in raising the quality of Wiscon-
sin butter and cheese to highest stan
dard, and to aid in locating the causes
of defects in these products. These
monthly examinations are in no sense
contests, but are designed purely to as
sist the butter maker and cheese maker
in his effort TO improve his products,
and to maintain high standard of quail
ity in them
1t is planned to issue diplomas to all
persons taking part in each exhibit
during the year. Three classes of di-
plomas will be issued.

Rural Mall Service.

A statement recently issued by the
assistant postmaster general shows that
there are now $1,000 rural delivery
routes in the United States.
The carriers are said to be worked to
the limit of their carrying ability. That
means that there must be larger appro-
priations for an increasingly popular
form of governmental service. The
farmers and dwellers in small country
towns having once enjoyed the satisfac-
ton of having mail brought to their
doors, will never let the privilege be
taken from them. The opportunity of

Proposing Another State.

The World To-day.
An agitation for the formation of a
new state from territory already en-
braced by one or more of the United
States, is not of frequent occurrence.
In the case of most of the states, the
territory included is so unified in re-
sources, interests and conditions that
the mere suggestion of the creation of
a new state would be looked upon as
coming from one ordinarily termed a
''crank Since the admission of states
into the union, there is but one prece-
dent for the creation of a new state in
the manner suggested, namely, West
Virginia. This one example came as a
result of what is now Virginia casting
its lot with the confederacy, while what
is now West Virginia preferred to re-
main loyal to to the union. Had it not
been for that fact the probabilities are
that there never would have been di-
vision Of the state, although there is
somewhat of diversity of conditions
and interests between the two sections
of the country now represented by
these two states.
There is, however, at the present
time, out in the northwest, movement
that promises to assume respectable
proportions, looking toward the remod-
cling of the three states of Washington,
] iaho and Oregon in such manner as

House by President Roosevelt on Good
Friday in response to a reporters in
quiry, with regard to the publication in
the Kansas City paper that the presi-
dent meant Senator LaFollette when,
in his annual message, he scored preach
ers of discomfort. This word from the
White House discredits the Kansas City
story and indicates that President
Roosevelt at least would not set him
self in opposition to LaFolette, even in
general statements. Indeed there are
reasons for believing that Roosevelt re-
spects LaFollette, crediting him with
honest intentions and good public spirit,
