LIST SPOILED BY ADULATIOn
Great Piano virtuoso Never Employed
to Best Advantage the Great Gift
That He Possessed,

1t is only when we remember LISTS
procession that we can read the riddle
he presents. From childhood up, he
was the idolized piano vlrtuoso. He
was petted and adored all his life. He
was smothered all his life under the
adulation showered upon him in every
capital of Europe, showered upon him
In every tangible form by women of
the highest society. His was not a
character profound or fine enough to
right itself. He never managed to de.
velop out Of that stage, to contact
with truly nourishing things. On the
contrary, he became completely up
rooted, came to exist entirely in this
modern Capua, came to love 1t and to
crave the rose leaves and the clouds
OF perfume. His music Is largely an
inspiration toward it, an attempt to
perpetuate about him the admiration
and adulation, the glowing eyes and
half parted lips. the heaving bosoms.
1t is a mechanism for procuring for
himself the Pascha power he desired.
Indeed, beside List, Chopin seems a
veritable anchorite. True. Liszt in
terested himself in music for another
reason. If it served to procure him
the particular "place in the sun" that
he craved, it furnished him also with
most engaging pastime. He inter-
ested himself in music as one might
interest oneself In sport as one be-
comes more proficient in it. He stud
led its rules, its teachings, its tricks.
With what keenness he mastered them
his compositions show. But that inter-
est was only minor. The other was
the major.-Paul Rosenfield, in Seven
Arts Magazine.

IRELAND SENDS MORE FOOD
To Great Britain Than Any Other
Country in the World.

London, June 12.-With a view of
encouraging the Irish agriculturist by
bringing home to him the part he
is playing and can still further play
in food production, and with the OBJ.
ject of making better known to Great
Britain the place Ireland is taking as
a supplier of food for the British pop.
ulation and the allied armies, the De-
partment of Agricultural and Techni-
cal Instruction for Ireland has issued
statement which gives some re-.
markable facts in figures.
1reland's production of food, includ-
ing especially her supply of food to
Great Britain, has for several years
past been growing, until the supply
from Ireland has become the most
important in quantity and character
arriving in Great Britain from any
country in the world.

HOSPITAL SISTERS CHANGE
HABIT.
Have Adopted At Their Last Meeting
in Chicago a Washable Uniform.

According to a news dispatch from
Chicago, members of the Catholic Hos
pital, Association, including 500 Moth
ers General and Mother Superiors.
representing half of the hospital ca,
pacity of the United States and Can
ada, voted at their meeting to adopt a
washable uniform with curtailed
veil when attending the sick instead
of the garments now worn by Sisters.
While washable gowns are now worn
in clinical work, the wells have been
declared undesirable by surgeons.
The change in the nursing gowns of
the Sisters will be made subject to
dissanction of ecclesiastical authori-
ties and are to be in keeping with the
spirit and traditions of the various or
ders.
The Sisters condemned the practice
of splitting fees by surgeons as IAN
unethical and nefarious practice -
which they pledged themselves to
keep out or root out of our hospi-
tails
Another resolution adopted called
on all members of the association to
become registered nurses and to es-
tablish training schools wherever pos
sible. They pledged themselves to
extend the system of case records, to
improve laboratories and ''to bring
about as soon as possible the scien-
tifc training of our Sisters as tech
nicians of all kinds, anesthetists, die
ticians, record keepers and social serv-
ice experts"

London, June 30.-The British gov
ernment's intentions in regard to con
scription in Ireland were stated by
Viscount French, lord lieutenant OF
Ireland, at luncheon given in his
honor by the lord mayor of Belfast
today. He said:
Il must state plainly and emphati
cally that the government of Ireland
will carry out it's duty in this respect
unf1inchingly, without fear or favor
and in face of whatever opposition
whether criticism or actual force, may
most unfortunately or inadvisedly be
attempted.

colors or to create false impressions
You may take it direct from me that
when my proclamation calling fol-
$4,000 voluntary recruits) was framed
there was no thought of abandoning
the possibility of CONSUMPTION, nor was
any such idea intended to be con
veyed.
Fifty thousand men and a moderate
monthly quota subsequently could
easily be obtained and would be OBJ
tanned if the recruiting campaign was
not wrecked by hostile action or sullen
apathy. If compulsion had been re
sorted to, conditions would have be
come changed and the number of men
called could, of course, be regulated
by population, as is the rule in other
parts of the empire"

FEW BIRDS SING IN AUGUST
Midseason Month Noticeable for tho
Absence of Music From Natures
Feathered Creatures.

Once upon time when we had
something to say about August we
spoke on it as natures silent month,
remarks the Terre Haute Star. Al
most instantly we were reproved by
readers who said that in August the
locusts and some dozens Of their kin
made the month noisy, If not musical.
Confessedly, when we wrote of Au-
gust as the silent month, we were
thinking of birds, not bugs.
The song sparrow, the red-eyed
vireo and sometimes the ovenbird try
to take from August it's value as a
synonym for silence, but Of what nc.
count is the music Of three when their
thousand fellows refuse to sing?
August is the molting month and
Noting is a painful process. The
oirds do not feel like singing, and,
mostly, they do not sing, but it is high
~ probable that they would not, even
If nature were not insisting on q
change of feathers. The reason is that
the season is late. Housekeeping was
pushed forward because roofs were
likely to leak.
August, however, for its main part,
will hold it's silent record. It is tho
midseason and it shows forth together
some Of the beauties of summer and
Of fall. The belated rose blossoms
with the early aster and the goldenrod
stands between. August has neither
the full glory Of burning July nor Of
cool September, but it shares In some
Jman part of the glories Of each.

vally stream. might be found CONNER
cially profitable under modern mining
methods.
According to the published state
ment, the first discovery of gold along
the Ballinvally was made in 1896,
when a nugget weighing half an ounce
was picked up. News of the discov-
cry spread like wildfire through the
hills and glens of Wicklow and the
fortune of every inhabitant of the sur
rounding country seemed achieved.
The search continued for two
months and at the end of that time
1855 ounces of pure gold had been
found. The government then took
over control, but operations continued
for several years, yielding on an aver
age of $4,000 a year for long period.
The gold found ranged from tiny
atoms to nuggets weighing more than
a pound. One nugget weighed %
ounces, measuring four inches in
length by three in breadth. A gilded
plaster cast of this nugget, which was
retained by the finder, has recently
been placed on exhibition at Trinity
college, Dublin.
AS late as 1856 a nugget weighing
six ounces was picked up in the Bal
linvally, and it is believed that with
the latest modern methods a substan-
tial profit could be made from inten-
sive operations in this district. The
spots proposed for experiment are at
Cronebane, Ballinvally, Crogan-Mor
and Killahurian.

BISHOP DESCRIBES PILLAeE.

Paris, June 15.-The Bishop of Sois
sons, who is now in Paris, described
the havoc wrought in the Diocese OF
Scissors during the recent offensive
of the Germans. He said 100 churches
had been RACED by the Germans and
that at least 100 others had been pill
LACED and partially demolished. The
famous Cathedral in Scissors suffered
severely.
The Bishop added that the Germans
knew neither faith nor law. They
knew nothing but arson and pillage
The Germans, he said, were stripping
and carrying away everything method
