but in the papers where he expected

says that Bourgeois words arouse only
painful sensations. when he speaks
Of the venom Of the miserable Kant
and Of the musical nisdeeds Of Wag-
ner. he harms himself only and does
nothing to lessen the fame Of these
men Of genius. France smiles at the
assertion that she is under obligations
to Germany for nothing, for it is well
known and has been proudly proclaim
ed by Bourget that his maternal an
cestors came from Alsatia and origi-
