Chinese Lies About Christianity. “The Death Blow to Corrupt Doctrines” is the most notorious anti-Christian doc- tment ever published. It is entitled “A Plain Statement of Facts, Published by the Gentry and the People.” It was, as I have said, the cause of the Tientsin mas- sacre, and from it come the most of the Nes which are circulated against the for elgners. It pretends to give a descriptioi of the Christian religion, and it opens with an edict from the emperor, making itself thereby thoroughly respected by the people. Some Horrible Charges. This chapter closes with giving some of the horrible practices uf the foreigner: The least indecent of these statements are the foilo ie: “They are able to fhapert gical power to water, to send abroad charms on the wings of the wind, and to tuke captive the spirits of living persens {er evil pur- poses.

THE MOVING SCENERY Written Exclusively for The Evening Star. Ms MONTHS BE- fore the Wagner fes- tival in Beyreuth the Kiosks upon the Streets of the larger cities of Germany and Austria are plac- arded with artistic bulletins announcing the event. The series of twenty operas be- ing produced but once in two years, and Parisfal but sev- en times during the eclebration, assures an invariable success of the undertaking, notwithstanding that the unpretentious little town in which Wag- ner thought fit to erect a building for the exclusive production of his operas is in a remote corner of Bavaria many miles dis- tant from the leading musical centers of Eurepe. During the six weeks of the fes- tival especially chartered trains convey the members of the different Wagner rociaties to Beyreuth, where, upon their arrival in the deput, they are welcomed by the Inhabi- tants. In these poorer sections of Bavaria the Httle additional money aceutaulated In the summer by renting out the humble quarters scarcely large enough for the own- ers themselves means much to the populace during the long montis of winter. For Bey- reuth the festival is a great hoon and rob it of its operas it will become nificant little town like its numer- ous companions in that section of country known as the Fichtelvebirg.

It consists of tinct structures, the stage In a of its own and the large bow- shaped ediflae containing the auditorium, either of which may be separated from the © by lowering the iron curtain between two. On both sides of the theater there $ an open arcade, so that the semi-circular y is inclose only in front. Seven on each side of the auditorium com- door municate with the lobby, thus reducing the danger of loss of life in case of a fire or a panic, and making it possible to empty the theater {n a few seconds. Electricity is employed to illuminate the interior, which is extremely plain, being almost en- tirely destitute of decoration. The Auditorium. The auditorium proper may be compared to the segment of e. fan, the sides corre- sponding to the ribs and the sloping floor to the intervening space. Where the sec- tlon 1s narrowest is the stage, where it is widest the last row of seats. There are no galleries, but to compensate for thelr absence there is a gradual uninter- rupted rise of the floor. The orchestra fs in front and nearly twei feet below the stage. A lof! parapet, ching to the j level of the footlights, cludes it entirely | from v 8 in thir- | ty ce from the only aisle on eith the house. With the »tion of these unusually long tlers of seats no fault can be found with the theater. A remedy the evil seating capacity which would be a g management. The Roomy Stage. The stage, which is one of the largest and most complete, appears small, on account of the pro: jum arch, the width of which is not much more than fifty feet. It ts, however, roomy in every direction that a complete scene can be arranged during performance upon either side, or the hidden loft Rapid and almost instan- are thus rendered p. is one of Wagner's orig ee distinc or before the as well as in the rear | Ga the stage. tane 3, s om the t and ch the center from the 5 upper cur falls and, two cu! t, when utain is 1 and the others le, the gradual app or s elmo: pleasing, Announei rformanee, erformance two stume, take front their bug] thes are worn by the | plain he didn’t know what he was audience—fashionable toilets being out of place. A few seconds before the overture the doors are locked to remain barred until the end of the act. The lights are turned out, completely darkening the interior. A strange, weird feeling creeps over him who for the first time finds himself amid this darkness and profcund silence. It does not last long, however, for a glimmer of light arising from the pit in front of the stage, where the orchestra is hidden, is an indi- cation that the musicians have taken their places and that the performance is about to begin. The first soft strains of the grand overture of the first act of Parsifal become audible—the music increases in volume until it has reached such a pitch that it seems to carry everything before it. At an unexpected moment the curtain rises, dis- closing a woodland scene in the Spanish Pyrenees. Parsifal. Parsifal, up to the present time, has been given on no other stage than that upon which it first made its appearance. Wag- her's memory is so reverenced in Europe that notwithstanding the profundity of his greatest masterpiece there is not an im- presario who would have the rashness or temerity to produce Parsifal in any other theater save that of Beyreuth. The oper: was intended for this one stage. W: before his death, it is said, begged his wife almost pitecusly to do all in her power to prevent Parsifal fiom being produced for a certain number of years at any place other than Beyreuth, and in addition im- plored his countrymen never to allow it to be performed in any other German city. The scene in the woods where Parsifal iS escorted to the temple was pronounced hy an American seated at my side, who had spent the greater part of his life im the great musical centers, as the sublimest thing he had ever seen in his life, and well worthy by itself of a journey of 5,000 miles. One beholds Parsifal in the primeval forest —he appears to be walking, in reality he is not. It is the scenery which moves. At first huge trees eppear, which give place to roc boulders, ledges and fantastic cliffs. In a deep recess at the top of a lofty crag twe smail columns become dis- cernible, which give way to others larger in size, until they bave reacned colossal dimensions, and all that cne sees are mas- ve pillars, which in turn gracefully yleld to the interior of a temple, the most beau- tiful ting I have seen anywhere, and un- doubtedly a reproduction of the interior of San Marco in Venice. This gradual tran- sition is without question one of the most effective pieces of staging that has ever been wrought, and there fs nothing that will surpass it In the opera houses of Paris or Vienna. Of the music of Parsifal it is possible to say but one thing—Wagner re- garded it as his best composition. It is aecepted as such by his followers. The performance in Beyreuth usually com- mences at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. After each act there is an interval of one or two hours, during which time the theater is closed. The greater part of the day is thus consumed, Lut it is to the ad- vantage of the audience. as well as the singers, for the former are not wearied by al continuous performance, and the latter are given time to rest, which they weil meri! The Composer's Grave. The Interval between the acts may be ent in reading the libretto while seated upon one of the many benches in the ex- tensive park around the theater, or in taking a walk to the grave of Richard Wagner, at the extreme end of the town. In the garde. in the rear of his hou the great composer has found his last rest- ing place. A plain but massive granite slab inarks the place of burial, When the writer beheld this grave the vines of ivy had hidden it almos' but entirely from view, that was after the first performance arsifal, and not at the end of the stival, when the vines hare been de- prived of their foliage by the thousands of travelers, who carry off the leaves as cherished mementos. JOHN H. METZEROTT. —= AN EGG WITH NO YOLK. A Strange Phenomenon Discovered While Preparing a Relish. From the Chicago News. Mrs. William Russell read Francois Tan- ty’s receipt for deviled egg tn the Daily News some months ago. Yesterday she tried. to follow out the di- rections of the czar’s ex-chef, and came across a mystery more impenetrable than the Holmes murders. She broke. the hard- boiled egg as per recetpt and looked in vain for the yolk. There was none. The egg had been laid minus the yellow orb. The egg was carefully preserved and pre- sented to the Field Columbian museum, every one declaring that such a phenome- non had been unheard of since the days of the goose who laid the golden eggs, and, like the owner of that renowned bird, Mr. S. E. in whose custody intrusted, has employed a detective to trace up the egg from the corner gro- cery where it was purchased back to the farm whence it came. He hopes to dis cover the hen who laid {t, and turn her over to the professor for dissec At the Poultry Journal the editors had never heard of a yolkless egg, and, afte examining the specimen, gaye their convic tion that it was the first effort of a pullet. Careful examination demonstrated that ft Was not one of the machine-manufactured articles, as the inner lining or membrane Was present. Mr. Cassaday hopes to find the family of chicks to which the eggs be- long, and he fs morally certain that some other member of the family is laying all the yolks, and there fs _a fortune for the man who can perpetu@@e the breed, as yolkless eggs will be In great demand by housekeepers for various purpeses where yolks are not needed, and if hens can be trained to lay all yolks the bakers will re- joice.

Sinalley’s New York Letter. -The portly landlord of thé hotel where I stop surprised me the other day by say- ing that he was once Killed by being thrown from a horse, and that he has ever since been afraid of horses. I looked at him closely for some twinkle of humor in his eyes, but there was none. He went on to explain that it was in his last Incarna- tion that this accident occurred, and that while traveling by rail from Boston to New York a few years ago he recognized the ex- act spot between Worcester and Springfield where he met with his death, and all the circumstances came back to his memory with perfect distinctness. The landiord weighs 250 pounds, and no one would charge him with being a dreamy or im- practical sort of a person. He has written a book, which he is going to have pub- lished after his death. It {s so radical, he says, that it wouldn't be comfortable for him to have it appear during his lifetime. son Summer Widowers’ Clab. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. It has recently leaked out that a “Sum- mer Widowers’ Club" exists in Louisville. The organization is made up of a number of vivacious unmarried girls and widows, who have made up their minds that women who go away and leave their husbands in summer ought to bé made to smart for It; consequently, they have constituted them- selves into a systematized band to look up all these neglected men and make thir pleasant for them. According to the by- laws, only one widower Is entertained at a time; therefore, the lucky fellow who gets into the curriculum of the club has an {n- teresting time of it. He is first given a debut party, and receives unnumbered at- tentions from all the girls and widows In their prettiest summer gowns. Then other functions follow—dinners, bicycle teas, moonlight pienics and all manner of gay ety calculated to make him have a good time. A pleasant feature of the program is that formal invitations to all these events are maliciously mailed to the dear wife who is summering many miles away. ———-+e-- The Verdict.

Some cf the Industries Which Kept Skillfal Workmen Busy. From the Chantauqeai A long enumeration would be necessary in order to cite all the Venetian arts of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. There Wes the wood carver, whe revived his in- spiration by means of the inodels of the sculptors, and who filled the dwellings with a free and fantastic decoration. Venetian furniture is rich In decorative taste. What- ever in Yhe native temperament was exces- sive, pompous, conformed to oriental tra- ditions, had been modifiel ani held in check by the taste of the northern coun- tries, who sent their artisans down to the lagoons. The art of intaglios was growing more and more perfest under the Canozzi and Morazzoni, while the beauties of inlaid wood were being manifest under the skillful hand of Giovanni da V , Who com- pleted the doors and benches of the Va: can, working on drawings made by phael. This man emula*ed painting with his incrustations of colered woods, with ivory and metal. Working in iron was also cultivated with particular care, and the manufacture of arms and armor. As with fron so with bronze. The doors of the baptistry at Florence were cast by a Venetian on Pisano’ models. Excellent also were the ceramics of Venice and es- pecially famous throughout the world were the arts of glass-making and lace. The former was learned by contact with the east, and the shops in which they were ex- ercised had already by 1292 become so threatening a danger in case of fire that they were transported by order of the coun- ceil from Riaito to the Island of Murano, where they flourished for many centuries and have even been revived at the present day. Lace making has also suffered by the progr of mechanical invention, though the fame of Venitian point has not been at all dim: lt was car: on in the two most wretched and poverty-stricken {slands of the lagoon, and it is said to have had Its origin in the shreds which came from the rich clothing of the nobles. Four centuries ago the fringes and lace of Venice were krown throughout Europe, for the chron- icles of the time speak of the admiration which they excited on the queen's cloak at the coronation of Richard 1II of England. With the fall of the republic the industry declined, until in 1869 only one old woman could exercise the art. But some patriotic citizens endeavored to re-establish it, and furnished this solitary survivor with a small number of pupils. From the seventeenth century the indus- tries and commerce of Venice began to fail in keeping with her fortunes. Yet art re- mained to cheer the idle mariner and the despa ig mérchant. But at last art also decayed and the sad servitude of the first part of the present century found no ar- tstic alleviations. Now Venice adds to the sweet poetry of remembrance the hopes of”! the future, and joins to the joys of the olden art the noble attempts of the new. Sngneity of Crows. From the Rochester Unfon and Advertiser. “Crows are so fond of exgs,” writes a farmer, “that you can play some amusing tricks on them. One summer I placed a stuffed porcupine in a field, spread a little straw over it, and stuck some hen’s eggs on tho quills. A crow soon spied the eggs from a treetop, and flew down to zet one. It alighted on the ground near by, and then it flitted up and settled down on the straw; but it hopped off very suddenly, looked sideways at the eggs, and scratched around, as if its feet did not feel exactly natural. The crow tried again, got his feet pricked and fiew back to the tree, where it sat silently till two more crows got fool- ed in the same way, then it began to coo and chuckle as if it were laughing at them. Then the two joined him, and the three sat on the tree till two more got their soles pricked, when the five went squalling to the woods. The next morning I noticed a big flock of crows flying backward and for- ward from the woods to the porcupine. Finally they all disappeared, and I found that the black scamps had outwitted me, for they had piled up a lot of twigs on the quills, and on them the cunning crows had got a foothold, stuck their bills into the eggs, and had ‘carried them off.” —. Cause for Alarm, From the Chicago Record, “Smith is walking around today as if he were stepping on eggs.” ‘He needs to.” ‘What ails him?” “Why, last night after he had gone to bed he remembered that he should have taken some quinine capsules. He got up in the dark and took ‘em. Thfs morning he discovered that he had swallowed three 22-caliber revolver cartridge: S) RR CURES §GROFULA BLOOD Polson. CURES CANCER, ECEEMA, TETTER.
