WAGNER'S "PARSIFAL."
its Cold Reception at First Moved
Hans Sachs to Fury.

its Cold Reception at First Moved
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 it
as a great work OF genius. To the
ears OF the others it's rude realism
sounded unmusicaL They wanted
melody like that Verdi was turning out
ia Italy. Bizet in Paris and a few
minor composers in their own Berlin.
But Sachs was a man of broader
mold. He heard the great music of
'ParsifaP' with unprecedented ears and
recognized the genius of the man. He
shouted it abroad in his writings and
became furious at a world that would
not. perhaps could not. find pleasure
in the dramatic voices of the orchestra,
it's 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 a musical
heart. The Good Friday SpelI'' was the
most exquisite song of praise ever
written by any man, no less a song
because it was wOrdless. sung only
by the violin and odwinds.-Detroit

GIVE REALITY TO THE CHILD
Writers of the Nineteenth Century
Responsible for Valuable Addi-
ton to Literature.

Children were only found yesterday.
Before the nineteenth century the
child mind and the child heart were
not supposed to have enough in them
to interest the majestic adult. 1t is
true that you find a, delightful baby
in Homer; that in Vergil there is the
prettiest glimpse of a little girl, and
up and down in the classics you may
meet half dozen other pleasant
shadows of children. But they are
only shadows, only at the most charm.
ing pictures. They give you as much
as if they were painting or sculpture
for in children's bodies art has al
ways had interest enough-only what
q. child looks like, the pretty weak
ness, the instinct for play, the native
gesture and movement. Not till the
return to nature not till the spirit
of romance moved on the waters at
the end of the eighteenth century, do
you find poets beginning to tell of the
thought and faith in a chi1d's mind,
the mysteries Of the child's heart, the
fancies that are dreams and the fan
cies that are visions. You may think
that they have gone too far, that they
read into childhood the laborious
philosophizing and sometimes the Ia
bored sentimenta1ity Of the adult. But
no one who loves children will deny
that the best of the children in nine
teenth century books have a far richer
reality, a far fuller life than any that
were born in earlier words And some
Of the best are in Dickens.

EuIler's Great Memory.

Thomas Fuller. the author of THE
Worthless of England" possessed the
useful accomplishment for clergyman
of being able to repeat sermon verba-
tim after hearing it only once Fuller
once succeeded in naming backward
and forward and without a single omis-
sion every shop sign on both sides OF
the way from Temple Bar to the east
ern extremity of Cheapside. This APP
pears a remarkable feat when it is re-
membered that Fuller lived before the
practice OF numbering houses was
adopted. so that every shop he passed
bore a sign.-LOndOn Chronicle.

Anticipatinq Samson,

An amusing incident occurred at a
French theater on tb a first night of the
opera Samson and Delilah''
A ballet dancer having fallen ill
the second trombone's wife, acted as
substitute. Of ample proportions, the
woman. owing to false movement
lurched heavily against one of the
main supports of the temple and in
an instant precipitated the collapse OF
the edifice which Samson should have
brought about half an hour later Sam
son and the Philistines and the mem
bers OF the ballet were entombed in
the debris of the temple. The audi
ence applauded tumultously. Two mem
bers of the chorus were badly injured

THE INFORMAL TEA.
How to Dispense Gracefully the Cup
That Cheers.

How to Dispense Gracefully the Cup
That Cheers.
The gentle art of impromptu bospt-
tality is gradually dying out. No
hostess of the present day seems to
be prepared for unexpected guests.
Even impromptu teas have been dis
carded for formal afternoon recep-
tons. and only in a few old fashioned
houses is the quaint old custom of
serving o'clock tea every day pre-
served. 1t is a most attractive custom,
and it is a decided disparagement of
the modern housekeepers that it should
be allowed to die out. In England it is
religiously observed, and visitors may
always be sure of tea and crumpets if
they call at 5 o'clock.
In most families of moderate means
the woman of the house is seldom pre-
pared to serve tea at moments
notice. She seems to consider that she
is very lucky if she and her home are
sufficiently tidy to receive the guests
at all.
Serving tea can always be quite
simple and easy if the tea things are
kept in good condition, ready to use.
If the tea napkins and tray scarf are
always placed near at hand and are
Numbered after each use. there will be
no difficulty in fixing the tray in two
minutes. Of course, if the hostess
must stop and look for clean tea linen
and polished tea silver. besides setting
the tray and preparing the food. natu-
rally o'clock tea will assume bigger
proportions than the average meal.
1t is always good idea to keep two
or three tea tray sets Of linen in use
at the same time. so that a clean one
may replace the soiled one instantly,
| may easily be washed out in few
moments. In such a case as this it is
| best to remove the tea linen immedi-
ately when the guests are gone and
wash and iron it at once, In this way
! the set is clean for the next tea,
| whether it be tomorrow or next week.
| Perhaps the housewives will urge as
an excuse that it is impossible to pre-
| pare the food for tea at the last
moment. But this is really very simple
if the proper food is Kept on hand.
There are all kinds of delicious sweet
ened biscuits. crackers and cakes
which come in moisture proof pack
ages. and these may be kept indefi-
nitely.
If sandwiches are desired there are
pressed meats in tins. sardineS chepSe

A most delicious sandwich and one
which takes only a minute to prepare
is made with crackers. pimento n"n
