among the most celebrated pupils of
the Conservatoire who were winners of
the Prx dc Rome between 1870 and
1900 were Alfred Bruneau, Gabriel
Pierne, Paul Vidal, Claude Dabussv.
Custave Charpentier. Camille Erlangcr,
Paul Dukas, Alfred Bachelet Henri
Rabaud, Charles Levade and FIorent
Schmitt. Others who did not attain
the supreme reward were Andre Ge-
dalge, Guy Ropertz, Alberto Maynard,
Henri Fevrier and Reynaldo Hahn.
Had Gabriel Perne been willing
to follow his real inclination," says
NJ. Tiersot, had he not spread his
activities over innumerable fields, as
pianist, organist, conductor and
teacher, had he not been equally
gifted III each of these functions, he
would undoubtedly have taken his
Place in the front rank of French
composers of the end of the nine
teenth century"
Tiersor himself was a pupil of
Massenet and Cesar Franck Some of
his works have been performed by the
Societe Nationale, and for a time he
was conductor of the Cercle Saint
Simon.
Alfred Bruneau and Gustave Char
pentier occupy the same chapter "Bru-
neau, with Zola, tried to make the mu-
steal drama into action with a musical
accompaniment, to reflect life itself,
with its joys and desires, so often
thwarted"
Charpentier's Louise" "is among all
modern operas the one most beloved

pentier himself, almost alone among
all the moderns most Of whom only
wish to see in music an aristocratic

mingled intimately with them"
The chapter on Dcbussy is interest

hitherto have presented themselves for
our consideration we have noticed
widely diversified qualities. The work of

some we have discovered humanitarian.
sociaistic, aristocratic and popular
tendencies. With NJ. Debussy there is
nothing of the kind. After having
studied him thoroughly we can onlv
say that his music is the worl. Of a
musician. His art has been compared
TO impressionist painting and to SYM
bolic poetry, but these are mere
analosies. As for finding out whether
NJ. Debussy was a friend of the great
or of the humble, whether his ideal in
clined to religious mysteries or posi-
tive realities, neither 'Pelleas ct
Melisande, or 'Nocturnes,' nor
L'Apres-midi dun Faun' will ever tell
us
Ravel, Dupont. Roger Ducasse. Raoul
Laparra are among the young men
who attracted attention al the begin
ming of the twentieth century. and
who were to be rudely awakened from
their dreams Of art by the bloody
realities OF 1914.
The Schoa Cantorum, where d'Indy
is the inspiration, produced Grovlez,
Samazeuilh, Andre Caplet, Erik Satie.
Although no general tendency has
made itself felt since the beginning of
the Gentry, Debussy's influence has pre-
dominated. A recent classfica-
ton, however, divides young French
composers into three groups: Pupils
Of the Conservatoire, who continue it's
traditions, with the addition Of their
own individuality; members of the
Societe Rationale. which has gained
many recruits from the Schola Can
forum; members of the Socete Musi-
Gale independents, the most advanced
and unconventional of the three
groups.

sic has not escaped the influence Of the
general upheaval which has shaken the
whole world While NJ Tiersot does
not attempt ITO predict what music will
be tomorrow. he thinks it important
to remember what il was yesterday.
During the forty-seven years be-
tween 1870 and 1917 there has been
an evolution in music wholly at odds
with the development known to for
ner generations. Modern music has
come into being, and for this the
French school has displayed an unsus-
pected activity and aptitude The
book aims to throw light upon the quail
tiles Of French music. In this half
century French musicians have con-
tributed as much to national activity
as to the evolution Of European art.
and, taking matters as a whole, these
men have shown vitality unsurpassed
in any other epoch in musical history.
When the war Of 1870 broke out, the
only music known in France was that
heard at the Opera and the Opera
Comique. This music belonged almost
exclusively TO the past. 1t consisted
Of the works of 1880 and their imita-
tlOns, "William Tell" the four operas
OF Meyerbeer and their like at the
Opera; the light operas of Auber,

at the O7era Comique. The most I'M

lowed. Thus this theatre contributed
largely to the musical education of the
French public
Art made a great stride forward in
1860, when the Concerts Popuaires,
created and conducted by Pasdeloup,
were founded. At first they were de-
voted to music by German composers.
Later the names of Bizet, Saint-S Saens,
Massenet, Lalo crept nto their pro-
grammes. This was the musical situa-
ton in France on the eve Of 1870.
Two important dates in the deve-
opment of French music occurred in
the first months OF 1871. May -
marked the death of Auber and the end
of regime On February 25 con-
stitution was adopted by the Societe
Nationalo de Musique. which was found
ed by Saint-Saens with the sympathetic
cooperation of the singer, Bussine
"Ars Gallica" was the motto of the So
ciety It's aim was to encourage all
musical attempts that showed hirh and
true artistic aspirations on the part
Of the composers The first concert
was given at the Salle Pleyel, Novem-
ber %. 1871 the za11th and last on May
%. 1914 This meant an average Of
nine or ten concerts a year until the
young members were called to serve
their country in other ways than in art.
At first these concerts were only
piano recitals when the composers Of
ten played their own works. Early pro-
grammes already included the names
of Bizer, Saint -Saens, Cesar Franck,
Lalo and Wdor.
Possibly as a result Of this move
ment the Opera remained the only in
stitution hostile TO the younger mus
clans. It declared itself not 9 place

strators showed how to remove horns
with clippers and saws, and with the
use of caustic soda and caustic potash
to prevent the growth of horns on
calves. Dehorning chutes, for holding
cattle while being dehorned, were also
constructed by the demonstrators, who
emphasized the Importance of using
them instead Of resOrting to such prac-
tees as throwing the animals with
ropes, tying them to fences or similar
methods which are unsatisfactory. In
number of cases farmers were per-
mitted to dehorn one or two animals
to become familiar with the operation.
The method of dehorning depends in
each case upon the age of the cattle,

demonstrations with young calves
showed how the growth of horns can
be prevented by properly applying
caustic soda or caustic potash. Older
'alves and other cattle were dehorned
either with the saw or clippers While
ly and with less pain to the animal,
the saw has the advantage Of not
crushing the horn, especially in the
case of old animals whose horns are
hard ard brittle. Neither does the
saw cause as much bleeding, since by
decorating the blood vessels it causes
a clot Of blood to form quickly.

Scrub live stock is no longer fit for

scrub is wasteful of feed and wasteful
of its owners labor. The scrub animal
has served its purpose as connecting
link between the old obsolete method
Of farming and new progressive meth

country already have discarded scrub
stock and are better off because of
that decision. Pure-breds are worth

from now on should be to make the
scrub extinct and to make IL the miss

The leave was granted, and the maid
returned.
"Well," said her mistress, did every

"Oh, yes, thank you, ma'am," said
the girl, "and mother told me to say
she is very grateful to you for letting
me off"
And what did your father say?''
asked the lady.
'Oh, lor ma'am," replied the girl
"he wasn't there. He's been dead this
