Craig-y-nos la full of beauty In the spring, tio matter from which of the three rail way stations you apfiroach It, writes Wll lla:ti Armstrong In the Saturday Evening Post, each of them with a soft-sounding Welsh name that takes half the cononant I., the alphabet to spell out, the castle, lying; on a flank of mountain lining steep from a narrow, bright green valley, springs to view at lomc sudden turning In the road. The scene, theatrically taken, could not have been planned better. Towers and battlemented walla glow a soft warm brown; the great conservatory glisten In the sunlight, the river and lakes gleam silver between maws of shrubbery and groups of trees, and the closo-cllpped lawns stretching for acres to the water's edgs are of the light brilliant green of South Wales, like the green of Ireland. From the commanding height of the high way, paths wind vein-like between planta tions of evergreen and leafy trees, and the glossy green of rhododendron thickets re flect the light. In June these latter are a mass of bloom, from deep red to faint pink, and with the rose garden' In full blossom, make the castle appear as though Set down In the heart of a huge bouquet. Life goes with method at Cralg-y-Nos, and you may safely reckon by the ctock what Is passing there, no matter In what part of the world you happen to be. Quests at the castle are served with breakfast In their own rooms or In the big winter gar den, as they may Indicate. The whole front of this winter garden, which la about seventy feet long Is of glass and adjoins the conservatories. In front of It stretches the panorama of valley, river and moun tain, the height of Cralg-y-Nos, or Rock of Night, being directly opposite. The scenery strikingly resembles that of southwestern Pennsylvania and West Vir ginia, In whose hills the multitude of Welsh miners that find their way to our shores must see much to bring to them the thought of home. AH morning until luncheon, which Is served at a quarter past t, Madame Pattl remains in her own apart ments. There she bunt 's herself first of all with correspondence, which Is taken up after 8 o'clock breakfast, for she la an early riser. Simple Home Life. In the years of her travel she has made many frlenda In pretty much every part of the world, and with a considerable num ber of these she keeps up a regular corre spondence, doing all her own writing. This Item , accomplished, she directs details of business and the management of the place, though In the latter Baron Cederstrom sus tains the chief activity. At luncheon the members of the family and guests meet, and walking or driving parties follow. At 6 o'clock tea la aerved In the sitting room. and at a quarter past 8 comes dinner In the great dining room. Following that Is music or a visit to the Pattl theater, which la reached from that wing of the castle. Before 11 o'clock Madame Pattl says good night. After that the baron smokes his cigar In the library. This simple regime chronicled Is the one followed at the castle when Madame Pattl la resting and there are but one or two guests. At other tt.-nea, when the party numbers anywhere from twenty to eighty, balls, concert, plays and big dinner par ties form part of the routine. Of late years, however, Madame Paitl has enter tained less, being a good part of the year abroad. In Italy, Switzerland. France or Sweden. She generally sings during these absences, but always for charity. 1 Between times comes the tours, spring and autumn, m the British provinces tours that she has kept up regularly now since 18G1, forty-two years. In summer the Lon don concerts come, generally In May and June, In Albert hall, a place so large, for It holds 11,000 people, that Madam Pattl Is the only aingei who can fill It. This has been the regime of her life since last she visited America, ten years ago. Ad vest area In Many Lands. But recently, during my stay at Cralg-y-Nos, the quieter phase of life there gave a full opportunity to hear from the great singer herself some of the adventures that have come to her, and to atudy again, after an acquaintance extending through a good many yeara, the development of her re markable personality. For development It Is, and no young singer of 20 la more thor ough In her up-to-datonoss than the diva who has charmed us, our fathers and our grandfathers, during her half a century be fore the public, an who made her operatic debut forty-three yenrs ago In New Tork City. Today at 80, wonderfully preserved, she Is full of life and youth. That very first night at the castle there was a surprise In store. When the list of things waa brought her to select from the evening concert on the big orchestrion In the billiard room, sVe chose an entire pro gram not of Verdi. Donizetti or Bellini, In whose operas she has won her trfumphs, but of Wagner. 'I could not listen to Travlta and Rlgo letto night after titpht even should a Ca ruso sing In them." she aid emphatically, "but I should never tire of Wagner's Nlebe lungen Ring. My voice wns never the voice for the heavy WaKt:erlnn things, but that does not prevent my devotion to them. Nor Is the assertion an Idle one, for she ta Blngultrly dlrecl In stating her tastes, and In thla oonne Hon she has proved It by letting no opportunity Blip of hearing Wagner's "Cycle of the Ring." That night when the music was done, she went to the man managing the Instrument and dl reeled him In the matter cf some of the tempi which bad not sitlsnod her ear. Another night, when W:gner's "Flying Dutchman" was being played, she sang Benta's vision song with the charm of tone that ha a made her Lucia world famous. "I couldn't help It, It wns so beautiful, she said when she hnd finished, with smile that was half an excuse. And It waa a Wagner program that ahe chose very night during my stay. Tonne Hearts nf Artists. It Is always true of the artist, whether painter or singer, that his heart seems to keep younger than the hearts of those In any other walk of life, and his Interest In things stronger. There Is something In him that keeps alive perpetual Interest In things. When that Interest ceases he done. But with Mme. Pattl her Interest In things, like her marvelous vocal powers. Is very much In evidence. She shows that same hearty Interest In the humbler of her neighbors, and In their Uvea and welfare, that Is perhaps another of the secrets of her perpetual youth. Their devotion to her ta marked, but natu rally, like all philanthropists ahe has had her little disappointments, and one of these has been the poachers. She tells wtth great good humor of how they shot the game and half-wild ducks on ber place and started little markets with them. When things grew too bad, several of the leaders were arrested and fined. Thla salutary lesson accomplished. Mm. ' Pattl undertook her Idea of reform.

Sun flooded through 30,000 lights of glass, finished in white en amel, marble and mosaic,'and ventilated with-filtered and tem pered air, this laboratory is the veritable home of purity a place where contamination cannot occur. The above facts make Shredded Whole Wheat Biscuit the most perfect food known to man. Shredded Whole Wheat Biscuit contains all the nutritive elements necessary to perfectly nourish man, and combined with any fruit, fresh or canned, :s a delightful and healthful combination. Only the most luxuriant kernels of the finest wheat are used in the making of Shredded Whole Wheat Biscuit. The wheat is first thoroughly" cleaned and all the light kernels are removed, then it is washed in sterilized water and thoroughly cooked, after which it is spun into thousands of little shreds, each shred containing thousands of little pores which make it light and porous with out the use of yeast, baking powder or chemicals of any kind, and naturally snort without the use of fats. The shreds are then cut into biscuit and twice cooked, making them deliciously crisp, which compels thorough mastication and insures perfect digestion ana a sweet, clean stomach. Shredded Whole Wheat Biscuit is the natural food because it IS THE MOST POROUS OF ALL FOODS and presents greatest surface for the action . of digestive fluids. These fluids are drawn by absorption into every part of the shreds, rendering the food immediately assimilable. Shredded Whole Wheat Biscuit contains a food property to upbuild each and every element of the depleted body. Foods made of part of the wheat, such as white flour bread, cannot do this and the ferment contained in them results in a sour mass upon the stomach. Shredded Whole Wheat Biscuit purifies the digestive tract. Constipation is unknown to those who use it properly and regularly, It can be prepared in so many tempting ways that the fickle appetite is always tempted by its good ness and the body quickly responds to its all nourishing force.

But this does not prevent her, when she hoars that one of them Is 111, from sending things that he may stand In need of; so in time she may prove her gentle way the right one. The castle Is a huge place and has sixty and even eighty guests at a time. The main floor presents a flnc vista, commanding a view of Madame Fattl's boudoir and three noble apartments, the dining-room, bllllard room and sitting-room on one hand, with the drawing-room opposite, and on the other the library, the winter-garden, and beyond, the conservatories. Another wing of the castle contains the theater which the diva herself had built and assisted In ts planning. A stereoptlcon show was or ganized there one night during my stay, he pictures being selected from a col lection that Madame Pattl had made dur- ng her many years of constsnt Journeying. They awakened her recollections of some lively adventures, "and you bavs no Idea of the things that have happened to mt," she said presently. "A strange succession of 'events came in a house thnt we rented In Buenos Ayres. Even without being superstitious I dared not stay longer In the place. Troubles of U Kinds. "I was under engagement for sixty nights at M.00Q a night; two seasons I sang there with the same contract. For this ene I had taken a villa In the country. I1 had only been there a few nights when burglars broke in during a hurricane. No one heard them, owing to the stor:n, but they only suoceeded In taking the silverware. A little later an Inundation took place, and we had to make our escape In boats. Two nights after, and we bad Just gotten back, the floor caught fire and we had the whole Duenos Ayres Are brigade In the rnrdnn. The next morning the porter was found dead In his bed. By that time I was quite ready to move. "But I am not superstitious except, per haps, I do believe a little that If you meet a funeral coming toward you It Is good luck and If It Is going In the opposite direction It Is well, the opposite. "It Is fortunate that I have natural self- commaM. for many frightful things have happened In theaters where I have been pinging. Once I made a narrow escape In Moscow from burning to death.

I held up my arms as someone threw a blan ket around me. It was a marvelous escape, rot onlyfor me, but for those about me who were weiring light dresses as well. I sang the performance as usual. "Another night. In Rusxla I remember novernor Polguuroukl was In the theater curiam caught n-e. Knowing that If "eryone runert for the doors many would siuea. 1 stood still snd made a little speech. The audience presently began to applaud, and then the blare was out. "In New Orleans a terrible disaster very nearly happened. The theater was crowded, and In the middle of the performance the gallery, which was filled to suffocation, be gan to ulnk. It would have caused little short of a massacre had It gone down. When the panic began. I started to sing Home. Sweet Home.' It was the ene thing left to do. for the orchestra, everything, had stopped. Presently things assumed some order snd the danger of a wild stam pede was over. . Lively Times a the Coast. "Sometimes happenings. exasperating enough at the moment, were not, perhaps, without a little gleam of humor afterward. One of these was at San Franclaco. and Colonel Mapleeon. with whom I was then under contract, was arrested for the night In consequence. Two tickets had been sold for each seat in the lower part of the house for that particular performanca. Something like a riot ensued. As a conse quence the curtain could not be rung up until after 9 o'clock. Think of singing after a scene like that, for the din came to me only too olearly behind the scenes, and I was worried enough over the cauBe of it. "In San Francisco It was that I made my narrowest escape, and that was the night a man threw a bomt) on the stage. "I had answered two recalls, entering from the center of the scene to make my a burglary at Cralg-y-Nos. The men were never caught, but tho police said that they were experts. They chose a dark night, during a storm. The thing was carried out with every precaution, for they had stretched ropes all about the castle, to trip up the servants In event of discovery and pursuit. They found two big tin boxes. These they doubtless fancied contained my Jewels. But one of them happened to be filled with cigars and tho other with photo- acknowledgment. When I started to go out ' graphs. By the time they discovered their a third time Miss Carolina Bauermclstcr, mistake something must have frightened who has beeii with mo for years, said: them.

Had I not I ; all about the place, where the burglars might have been killed In the moment that I appeared for that third recall he threw the bomb. Possibly through nervous ness, his aim was bad. He had intended to fling It Into the box of a banker. Instead It landed In the middle of the stage, Just where I would have stood had I entered from the center. The scene that followed had disgustedly scattered them. "But the warning served Its purpose, and since then the castle has been patrolled from dusk to daylight. "Another experience was an attempt on my way to Mexico, by a then noted bandit who hud gained the name of Fra Dlavolo, to rob me of my Jewels.

When the wheat is growing In the fields near the banks of the Kile, Egypt, great quantities of birds of every kind pounce down upon the tender grain and would soon destroy the whole crop were It not for the watchful "stone sllngers."
