WAGNER'S "PARsIFAL."


Hans Sachs to Fury.
When Wagner's "Parsifal" was first
performed in Baireuth. the critic Hans
Sachs was almost the only one of all
the writing fraternity to welcome 1t
as great work Of genius, To the
ears of the others its rude realism
sounded unmusical They wanted
melody like that Verdi was turning out
In Italy, Bizet In Paris and a few
minor composers In their own Berlin.
But Sachs was man Of broader
mold. He heard the great music Of
"Parsifap with unprejudced ears and
recognized the genius Of the man. He
shouted 1t abroad in his writings and
became furious at world that would
not, perhaps could not, find pleasure
In the dramatic voices of the orchestra,
Its vivid emotionalism and marvellous
appeal to the aesthetical nature that is
In every man and woman. He knew
that the Germans were merely refusing
to listen. save for melody. and finally
he told them that even In the melodic
field Wagner was the greatest of them
all
Sachs has written eloquently of Wag-
ner's melody, beside which the melody
Of the Italians is pallid, anaemic, In
significant Only now and then. he
said, were the Italian melodists other
than artificial. Wagner's melody was
the spontaneous song of musical
heart. The Good Friday Spell'' was the
most exquisite song of praise ever
written by any man. no less song

by the violin and woodwinds. Detroit

TRAPPING ELEPHANTS.
In India Tame Animals Aid In Captur-
inn the Wild Ones.

In India Tame Animals Aid In captur-
ing the Wild Ones.
In view of the vast strength pos
sessed by full grown elephants. 1t
seems at first sight ALMOST incredible
that they can be captured In herds
and quickly subdued to the will Of
their masters.
At the present time in Mysore, the
regular method of capturing wild
elephants is for large number OF
natives to 20 into the jungle. some
mounted on tanned elephants and many
on foot, aud to make great noise and
hullabaioo. which results In driving

which nave previously been surround

ed the passages that had been left
open are securely closed. and then
the trained elephants are brought into
play to caJole and subdue the perplexed
prisoners.
In India elephants are no longer
captured. as they still are In Africa.
by means of huge pitfalls In the
ground In these traps they are often
seriously injured or killed. The In
dian elephant is somewhat smaller
than the African and differs from 1t
In other ways-as, for instance, In the
fact that tusks are possessed only by
the males. while both sexes are pro-

cooperate with the farmers in mar.
keting their crops, to be the greatest
product Of human thought on the
Western hemisphere during the past
year. and 1t demonstrates that the
educational work of the Farmers
Union has brought the nation to a
clearer understanding of the real
problem of the farmer.
To give information on marketing
Is far more valuable than to give
advice on production, There is mu-
tual interest between the railroads
and the farmer which cannot exist
between any other lines of industry.
The railroads are the teamsters of
agriculture. and they are employed
only when there is something to haul.
Good prices will do more to increase
tonnage than any other factor, and
railroads want tonnage.
Agriculture has many inherent dis
advantages which require combined
effort to overcome in marketing,
There are millions of producing units
working Independently and selling
without knowledge of market cond-
tione. The harvest is once year,
while consumption is pretty even
ly distributed throughout the entire
year, and most of the farmers,
through custom and necessity, dump
their entire crop on the market as
soon as 1t is gathered, The problem
OF organizing and systematizing the
markets Ia one In which the farmers
invite assistance Of all lines of in
dustry friendly to their interests.
Farmers Bear the Burden,
The business OF the manufacturer
lends itself more readily to organlza
tion and the facilities for studying the
markets are more easily available. The
result 10 that the merchants are com.
pelled to handle most staple manufac.
tured articles at very little profit and
as a consequence the merchant must
look 70 products which he buys di.
rect fiom the farm for his profits,
The reports OF the Federal Depart.
ment OF Agriculture show some very
interesting information and enable
q comparison between the cost OF
marketing products of the farm and
those OF the factory. A few items
will serve to illustrate the general
run. The cost of getting sugar from
tho refinery to the consumersis 8
cents on the dollar; the cost OF get
ting tobacco from factory to con
sumer is IA cents on the dollar. In
selling dollars worth OF eggs the
middleman gets profit Of 80 cents
on the dollar, In selling dollars
worth OF potatoes, the middleman
makes 70 cents on the dollar; in sell.
ing a dollars worth OF fruit, the
middleman gets S4 cents on the dol.
