The FESTIVAL of Bagdad," the fourth
movement from Scheherazade, played
by the Philadelphia Orchestra, instantly
transports you to Bagdad. This num-
Der is really an epitome Of the three
previous movements based on the Ara
ban Nights tales. The snarling trum-
pets, the light and delicate dance move
ments, hurrying tarantelle-like melodies,
languishing melodies for strings, curl
Gus nasal melodies for clarinet or oboe,
velvety strains for flute, all depict
unsteady with marvellous power the
scenes among the surging throngs in
the Bagdad bazars.
The Galli-Curci record of the aria
1.-THE One of Whom l Dreamed" from
Traviata is of interest because this
great soprano has made such perfect
Violetta in this opera. 1t is undoubt-
edly one of the greatest Of all color
atura arias--the awakening of VIC
letta's soul illumined by the glow OF
purer passion--and to it Galli-Curci has
brought her highest gifts. On a double
faced record Olive Kline sings Chinese
Lullaby" a particularly good number
with oriental atmosphere, and Elsie
Baker presents delightful lullaby.
"Baby JIM" which has MELODY OF
haunting sweetness.

The death of Washington was not
known for weeks and months to the
people living in the remote parts of
the different states. It took five days
for the news to reach Congress then
in session in Philadelphia. 140 miles
from Mt. Vernon. He died December
IA. 1898.
It is hard to make 1t seem true that
Washington, Jefferson, Franklin and
other fathers Of the republic never
saw railroad or telegraph line, or
sewing machine, or photograph or

In 1900 at least 80 per cent of the
population of the whole United
States was agricultural; but when we
! say agricultural it must be under
stood that each farmer knew how to
do little at almost any trade, and
do 1t tolerably well. When house
was to be built the neighbors assem-
bled' and with few simple tools soon
put together very substantial frame
and indicted the owner. No charge
was made for any such assistance, for
everyone expected that his own turn
would come for requiring aid. Much
farm work was done by cooperative
labor both indoors and out. This CO.
operation went on under the name OF
bees There were husking bees,
which meant nothing more than g
neighborly way of assisting each
other in gathering the crops. Very lit
tie money was used or needed. Cur
rency was a question as badly under
stood as at present. The experiment
OF issuing paper occasionally awak-
ened the avarice or disturbed the
equanimity of state and led to re,
action and disaster. It was consid.
cred crime to be in debt. An auction

The second census, taken in 1900
showed 5,3OS,4SS population in the
United States, including S96'S49
slaves. There were slaves in sixteen
OF the twenty states Of the Union.
The expenses of the United States
government for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1900. were $11,0S9739 the
the cost Of one nowadays battleship

debt was S2,976,291; exports $751;

exports during the year ending June
90, 1919. amounted to ten billion dol
lars, or more than 100 times as great
as in 1900.
When Washington was president all

In 1900 the weekly mail between

Jascha Heifetz Puts New
Charm Into a Familiar
Beethoven Number

Beethoven's Turkish March" Is one
of the most popular lighter pieces the
great composer ever produced. It is
usually heard as piano solo, but
Leopold Auer, the teacher of Heifetz,
has made a violin transcription, and in
the Victor Record of this solo Heifetz
reads new charm into its familiar
cadences. 1t is brilliant piece of
work, the theme first being heard with
double stopping and the lightest pos
sible staccato bowling for the char
acteristic rhythm, ending with the
familiar little downward run.

sentiment with its reminder that the
first rose is the first smile of spring and

Beautiful Ohio" Waltz i
Superb as a Violin Solo
by Kreisler

The famous violinist has made q
wonderful Victor Record Of this. de-
lightful waltz. Kreisler plays waltzess
as no other violinist plays them, and
this is one of the best waltzes in years.
He plays the melody without fourishes
and lust enough graceful fluctuations in
the tempo to keep alive the spirit Of the
waltz. Toward the end he plays on
two strings at once, and the effect is
that of two violins each playing a sep
arate melody in harmony with the
other; but no two violins couio
sound as Kreisler's instrument SOUNDS.

Gerhardt Filter who is. attending

A beautiful rainbow appeared in the
eastern skies shortly after six o'clock
Saturday evening during little shower.
It seemed to be the herald Of the ap-

loose over New Ulm late Sunday even

ia hours.
According to the Omaha papers the
people Of South Omaha, Nebraska saw
last week, what nobody had ever seen
before. A herd of twenty three American
buffaloes were offered for sale, like any
otherlive stock, in the open market Con-
trary to the common belief that all the sur
viying buffaloes in the country are owned
and cared for by the government,
these animals came from a privately
owned herd of about ESQ on a ranch in
Colorado. It was the first appearance,
as private live stock, of an animal that
has become almost mythical. We think
the Omaha papers are mistaken in their
statements for we know that buffalo
meat has been on the market in New
Ulm and the Scotty Philips herd of
South Dakota is well-known in this
section of the country.
