Excerpts Wagner
E. A. Baughan, the eminent London
critic, has been comparing Caruso with
Jean de Reszke, not to the advantage of
the Italian While he comedies that IN
nervous energy and untamable force
Caruso stands quite alone, and that he
wins great triumphs by an exhibition Of
titanic power, with voice that is never,
like Tamagno's, hard and metallic
though his style is sometimes rough--yet
he maintains, as an artist Caruso falls
far below De Reszke. 1t used to be said
that De ResZke was not tenor at ALL
If this were true. Mr.. Baughan remarks
1t would be $50 much the worse for
tenors in general" jeans style of sing
ing was finished in the extreme, but it
was also broad and manly when neces-
sary. But what put the Polish tenor far
above the italian was his wonderful YER
satility. Jean sang all styles of music,
from Gounods Romeo" to Wagner s
Tristan" "Caruso cannot sing French
music as Jean de Reszke could sing Ital-
ian and doubt IL Caruso could sing even
the early Wagner. No one is more
wearisome than he who praises the past
at the expense of the present but when
1 think OF what Jean de Reszke did,
both Caruso and Bonci seem minor stars
in comparison"
Carl Lancer, violinist and violin maker,
has written the following sad history Of
an OLD violin:
When Alesio Passerello left his home
under the blue skies of sunny Italy, and
within sight of Mount Vesuvius, to bet
ter his condition in life in the land of
the free he had two possessions which
he prized next to his life itself-they were

Good Interpretation
Ntera,d and Presb; ter.l

An exchange tells the story of a
poor workman who told his wife, on
awakening one morning, a curious
dream which he had during the night.
He dreamed he saw coming toward
him, in order, four rats. The first one
was very fat, and was followed by
two lean rats, the rear rat being
blind. The dreamer was greatly per-
picked as to what evil might follow,
as it had been understood that to
dream Of rats denoted calamity. He
appealed to his wife concerning this,
but she, poor woman, could not help
him. His son, who heard his father
ted the story, volunteered to be his
Interpreter. ''The fat rat" he said
is the man who keeps the saloon
you often go to; and the two lean
rats are my mother and me; and the
blind rat, father, is yourself" ;"

C0WpeaS.

(Prof a. NJ. Soule in Southern Farm Magazine
of baltimore for September)
Cowpeas provide one Of the finest
forms Of hay for use in the South.
Experiments have demonstrated that
within reasonable limits cowpeas can
be substituted for expensive cor
centrates like wheat bran and cot
tonseed meal. For instance, as much
as 10 pounds Of finely-chopped cow
pea hay may be made to replace six
pounds of wheat bran. AS cowpeas
can be grown on practically every
farm and gather their nitrogen from
the air, and even when cut for hay
leave 80 to 40 pounds Of nitrogan on
each acre of land in the roots, stubble
and fallen leaves, it is a crop of vast
economic importance. The coWpea
is also a splendid smother crop and
holds weeds in check very effectively.
1t has very fine effect on the phys
cal condition of the soil, bringing 1t
into an ideal state for succeeding
crops. There are some drawbacks
to using cowpeas for hay, as the crop
is difficult to cure; but where wooden
triangles of even rough construction
not over two feet high are used un-
derneath the stocks of hay caps pro-
vided, excellent hay can be made even
in a very unfavorabe season, as the
crop can be put up under these con-
ditions in q semi-green state and vii
cure out perfectly.

The Price Of Newspapers.
(Home and Farm.)

(ftOme ana Farm.J
1t is said that the publishers of
McClure's Magazine heretofore a
1G-cent magazine are considering
an advance in price to Is cents.
Newspapers Of New York are all
looking with something like sorrow
and CONSERVATION at the steady in
crease in the price of paper and
other expenses of publication, and
they find their balances rapidly dis
appearing.
Some of them have tried to get
even" by increasing the price of
their Sunday issue and others by
curtailing the size of their daily pub
lications.
Paper has advanced nearly so per
cent. Ink and all of the materials
entering into the publication of a
newspaper have increased in price.
The expense of composition lowered
by the typesetting machine has in
creased and caused an advance in
wages, and everything entering into
the cost Of a newspaper is higher
than ever before.

Curing a Balky HorSe.
(IIome and Farm.)


A great deal has been written on
the subject Of the balky horse and
mule. Very bad cases Of the dis
ease have often been cured. John
Dimon, really experienced horse
man, in mis- very practical book on
American Horses and Horse Breed
ing" says:
When quite young man | was
conceited enough to believe myself
able to swap horses and hold my
own with the average horse jockeys
of those days. A result was that
occasionally got more in horse than
| bargained for and anticipated get
ting, an occasional baker includ-
ed.
Il distinctly recollect that on one
occasion | purchased large bay
mare, sound and apparently all right,
but she considered it far beneath
her to handle any load more than a
buggy or occasionally a family car
riage. When | hitched her to a load
of fence-rails she utterly refused to
take any part in their transporta-
ton.
"At that time of life | was young
and hasty in disposition. ! was
farming and annoyed. My plans
were being delayed. ! tried the use
of the whip, but it did more harm
than good. | changed the plan, go
ing to the woods and tying her to a
tree, leaving her alone for the after
noon. Toward night | made visit
and hitched her to a wagon. She
refused to move. Once more | tied
her to the tree.
"She was thus left to reflect until
the morning. Then she was evident
ly getting lonesome as well as
hungry and thirsty. Again she was
tied and left in her glory because
she yet positively refused to work
as wanted. She was regularly visit
ed. At last the time came for her
to be glad to see the visitor. She
whinnied with joy at his approach.
81 again hitched her to the wagon,
and you may be sure she was glad
and anxious to move that wagon.
The result of the whole matter was
that o,vnod the marc inward Of
two years, and scarcely ever had
better pulling one alone or in team,
and when | finally sold her | war
ranted her to pull IN any or all har-
ness"
The evidence is that there is no
use for mere force.

Ny Little Girl.

! Nlarriet Frances CroCker.)
Last night there flew to let me in
Ny little brown-eyed daughter,
She searched my pockets every one
To see what | had brought her.
She kissed me sweet on brow and
cheek
And called me dear old fellowp'
The saucy, merry little scamp
With flying curls so yellow.
She perched upon my knee and told
With comment quaint and pretty
Of all the happenings at home
While was in the city.
She wound me round her finger small
Just as she has done ever
My little girl! I'd keep her thus
Forever and forever.
That was last night. Tonight there
came
Into the room demurely
And sat upon the window seat,
A prim young stranger grille.
She cannot be my little lass
Who used to meet me daily
With laugh, and kiss, and merry
speech
And feet that skipped so gaiIy!
Why must she grow young-ladyfed,
And step in longer dresses?
Why did they braid and tie, and prink
Her tossing yollow tresses?
Why should they change her spring.

ways adjusted. There Is no heat lost
by having to open the hive to add q
story to accommodate feeder, or In
any other way by which most feeders
are used.
To feed, It is simply necessary to
open the little door on one side Of the
cover (the other side Of the cover II
permanently closed), and shove in 9
suitable dripping-pan of feed. A pan
which nearly fills the chamber will
hold about ten pounds Of feed. The
crack shown In the lower wall of the
cover allows the bees access to feed;
and when the feeder is not in use the
pan may be showed little further
over, and the crack Is closed.
In cold weather the pan could be
taken out and thin cushion substi.
tuted, thus making a warm cover.
One objection to this Is that such Q
cover would necessarily be rather sx.
