A book of short stories by August
Strindberg bears as a title the name
OF the first, 1.-THE German Lieutenant"
CA. c. McC1urg and Company. Chi
cago). Here is a tale that reads queerly
enough in the light OF what is going
on to-day. In the story the war with
German lieutenant. newly married, is
writing n letter to his wife. He de-
scribes in his letter certain unpleasant
minor incidents of war, The other day
a vineyard was destroyed as a matter
Of military necessity. The vines with
their load of half ripe grapes were torn
up and tied in bundles to be piled to-
gether as barriers of defence The
great stems dripped with the juices of
the crushed fruit. TT was said h a
the vines We're forty years old. Thus
we destroyed the work of forty years
in an hour" Again, "A great field OF
| ripening corn was torn To shr-ds and
trampled out in the rage of battle,
do you think. my dear wife, that one
can sleep quietly at night after such
doings?" The lieutenant was u sensi-
tive and imaginative man.
Worse was in store for him. Three
franc-tireurs had been caught by the
soldiers of his command. They were
brave men. The lieutenant as he
wrote could hear them playing billiards
in the next room. Franc-tireurs, as
is well known. had especial reason 70
dread the Prussian military poiicy Oh
"frightfuIness." The lieutenant grew
nervous. He stopped writing the letter
to his wife. He ordered bottles OF wine
to be sent to the prisoners A gaiiop-
ing courier arrived with the expected
order from the commanding general
In two hours the prisoners were 10 DC
shot without trial.
The lieutenant rode away to escape
the scene. His flight did not serve
him. He went insane. The story
strongly pictures all this matter, T'

FROM its first appearance fifteen
years ago John Kimberly Mumford's
oriental Rugs" Charles %Scribner's
sons) has been accepted as the most
authoritative work on the subject. 1t
Is now issued In O fourth edition Mt n
reduced price, but with no impairment
In the beautiful colored plates, be-
cause the mechanical improvements In
inc intervening years have made
cheaper production possible. In his
Introduction Mr.. Mumford deplores
again that the manufacture OF art
rugs will soon be a thing OF the past
In the Orient; the wal was extirpating
the makers when he wrote and the
ravages in the producing countries
have multiplied since. but the chief
factor, the commercializing OF the in
dustry and the turning out OF the
set patterns called for by Western
fashion had begun long before. The
handsome Quarto volume with its re-
markable pictures brings the knowl-
edge of the history. the significance,
the modes of weaving. the sources and
the authors experience with Oriental
rugs within the reach of all who adj
mire them.

Houston Stewart Chamberlain has
for years been an ardent follower Of
Richard Wagner. SO ardent has he
been that one might suppose 1t was he
whom Bernard Shaw had in mind
when he christened n Of his
amusing books THE Perfect Wag-
%nerite." Mr.. Chamberlain wrote q pom
dcrous life OF Wagner. 1t was heavy
in more senses than one and yet light
in value, for its fundamental tenet was
that tho king could do no wrong. 1t
contained some interesting Juggling
with facts and dates. As a human
document 1t threw more light on the
personality of Chamberlain than on
that Of Wagner.
Mr.. Chamberlain is still mentally
dwelling in the period when the genius
Of Bayreuth and his artistic doctrines
we're in sore need of advocacy. He Is
not satisfied thai the battle for ac-
ceptance is over. He offers us another
work. The Wagnerian Drama" (John
Lane Company, neither so Fat o SO
weighty as the biography, but quite as
dull. We are instructed at the outset
that the purpose Of this new work Is
- inspire "a better appreciation OF
Wagner as a dramatic poet.
A reading Of the volume shows us
that the author holds that despite the
immense popularity OF Wagner's
dramas the true art Of the man still
remains undiscovered. We r still

for operate texts. whereas he was tho
creator of the "word-tone DRAMA" an

musical expression and for which the
medium of communication was an or
sanic union Of music and text stimuli
Gneousiy conceived. or at any rate in
apab.e Of separation by cold, critical
analys SIS. The creation Of this method
Of expression was the achievement of
Wagner the dramatic poet, who should
not be regarded as a common COM
poser.

sent an Illusion of novelty to those

who are ii has nothing new to offer.

about the artistic ideals upon which
Wagner founded his drama OF hu-

Indeed it becomes strik!ngly obvious
from the beginning of Mr.. Chamber
la!n's volume that the author himself
has nothing 10 give. His pen is con

from Wagner's prose works, and Mr.,

his master that he has developed an
English style which reads like Ashton

'coarsely milled that they contain al
most all of the outer husk of grain.
No yeast is used in baking it. The
dough is softened and made porous
by process of steaming, the water
in the dough through this
process being evaporated while bak-

SECURE THE CLEANEST MILK
Barns Should Be Kept UnpoIluted and
Yards Free From Manure and
Litter of All Kinds.

These rules are given for the clean
est milk obtainable with only little
more than ordinary care: Barns should
be kept clean and well ventilated. the
yards free from manure and litter and
drained so that no water will stand
there. Before milking, the cows
should be brushed around the TANKS
and udder with a stiff brush; this
should be followed with a damp cloth
which will remove many of the dust
particles and so dampen the others
that they will stick to the COW during
the process of milking. The mixer
should keep his hands dry during the
milking. Milking with damp hands
is a filthy process and is apt to cause
the teats of COW to chafe and be-
come a source of annoyance. The milk
should be removed from the barn or
milking pen to milk house just as
soon as possible after it is drawn. The
milk should be separated and the
cream cooled as soon as possible after
milking.
