parents do not always look them over Is
shown by the surprise that some nf them
express on calling at the principal's office
to find that tli"lr sons or daughters have
made several failures along their nurse.
Sometimes these will make It doubtful if

I nUoiibtvdiy the artistic value of "I'arsi
fal" as It came from Klcliard Wagner
rested on the mysticism with which the
composer suirouudtd his central thought.
The theme of the opera-drama, ho shrouded
In maxes of music that challenge the
senses, in half formed sentences that amaze
when they tfj not actually confuse, and
all In all, a labyrinthine composition of
strange harmonic and undeveloped tuought.
la simple enough when shredded nf the
wrappings of uncertainty and questioning
wonder with which It is so elaborately en
shrouded. This being true, the effort to
make It clear Is open to question: is the
beauty of the story of t'arslfai and his
quest for the Sacred Spear enhanced by
being made so plain that even the wayfarer
may understand It, or Is this effort to be
held up to condemnation as a sacrilegious
approach to the tldng sacred to the shrine
of linyreuth?
"Parsifal" unquestionably contains ele
ments of great dramatic value, and Just
as Wagner involved them in his wonderful
arrangement of the opera, so the author
of the play presented at the Boyd laat
night displays them in a setting of Kngllsh,
pure and limpid, at times flowing with a
musical rythm that Is charming and which
never descend to a low level. It Is oc
casionally sublime and always purposeful.
Reverently, carefully and with a tender
ness that Is sympathy Itself, he has told
again the story of Parsifal and Kundry,
Amfortas and Kllnschor. the Spear and
the Grail, and done It with that lllumlna.
tlon that Is possible In a drama and not
in an opera, it lacks essentially In power
to move. Just as the opera appeals not
to the masses but rather to the classes:
yet it Is as fully entitled to respectful
attention and deserves a more general
hearing than It Is likely to be accorded
In Omaha, If Inst night' experience may
be taken a a basis for Judgment.
Mr. Orattan plays Parsifal with Intel
ligent and power, and Is very convincing
In all lils scenes. Hia methods are simple
and hi effects certain. Mr. Dashlell'
Klinschor Is In many ways a most com
mendable characterization of a difficult
role. He reads his lines with rare taste,
and In the Incantation scene fairly thrill
the audiences with the apparent presence
of the supernatural. It has been a long
time alnce verse was more effectively
spoken on the stage at the Boyd than
last night by Mr. Dashiell. Mr. Cotton's
Amfortas Is good, and so Is Mr. MrCor
nilik as Gurneinanz. Miss Taylor is a
Kundry of great personal charm, and adds
to It capacity of acting that makes the
part one that actually commends. In the
garden scene her seductive methods are
most potent, and would scarcely have been
Withstood b one 1e rietermltw.it than
Parsifal. In the closing act, when she
I appears as the penitent, she Is equally
satisfying. The minor roles arc all In
capable hands.
The stage settings follow very cloaely
the Wngneiia'i traditions, having been
copied from ti e Bayreuth production, while
the lighting ofT- and spectacular ar
rangements are correct in every detail.
The management of the lights as permitted
by the action of the drama Is productive
of mure impressive results than are possi
ble to the operatic version. A single de-
' parture Is noted, that In the final act
Parsifal raises Kundry to his side, taking
her to share his earthly glory. Instead
! of allowing hr to perish in the moment
of her forgiveness.
As u whole the play and the performers
are commendable- in all regards and de
serves the public patronage. The piece
will lie at the Boyd till after Tuesday night.
1 he curtain goes up at 7:45 each evening.
"Charley's Aunt" at the llurwood.
Mr. Hchoflcld aud Mr. Owen take royal
honors In broad comedy In this week'a
off ring hv the Woodward stock romnnnv.
Mr. Schoflehl la the Lord Krancourt Bub-
berly of the well known farce by Brandon
Thomus and In this capacity has perhaps
the most latitude in making laughter since
he Joined the comnanv. He is verv droll
as tho lord, but not quite so effective In
his personations of the aunt.
Mr. Owen's creation Is that of senile old
Spetllgue and it reminds you of Hunny
J I in. if Sunny Jim could skip about and
speak In high nasal tones. The make-up
is clever and the low comedy developed
. excruciating.
Others of the company are cast com
patibly. Mr. Morrison plays Jack Ches
ney, the part being light comedy, for which
he has special aptness, yet his work shows
clearly enough the marks of careful at
tention. Mr. ftlmpson Is Charley Wyke-
' hama roistering juvenile at Oxford a
character that stills Mr. Simpson's ex-
1 uberance and good spirits, lie Interprets
It cleverly.
i Miss Ijtng as Kitty Verdon is seen in two
extremely becoming new gown and a
stylish hat. A new way of dressing her
i hair lends archness to her beauty. H r
i Work is all comedy and. as usual. Is done
; so as to more firmly enshrine her in the
hearts of theater-goers. Miss Ward plays
norma Lucia, the real old lady "from
Uraill." with grace and dignity. Miss Du
vis is Klla Delahay and Miss Hill is Amy
' Spettlgue. and both actresses please in
their renditions.
j Mr. Fulton's Interpretation of Sir Francis !
is commendable for attention to detail. Mr.
i Iavies for the 'steenth time Is a servant,
and. appearing without character make-up!
i Is a handsome one.
I A noteworthy feature of the performance
; is what a foot ball enthusiast would call
; ooa "team work.'' There are no gap or
' lags and the fun goes forward smoothly
! with all chances exploited. As to the
i mounting, that of the first act Is particu
larly attractive and pretty.
Vandevllle at tho Crelahlon-Orphenm.
It Is surely to laugh at the Creighton
Orphrum this week. Four of the most
mirth-provoking turns offered this season
follow each other on the bill, and by the
time the curtain is down on the last one
the auditors have laughed themselves Into
such a state of exhaustion that they ac
tually welcome Agnes Mahr with her
clever dancing as a chance to rest. Mr.
and Mr. Kelcy are the first of this quar
tet, with a sketch that tells the story
of an actor and hi wife. He is out of
work, but ha the prospect of an en
gagement. It I the night berore Christ
mas. She pawn hi dia suit to buy a
turkey, and he pawn hi watch for the
same purpose. With two turkey in the
house, each is struck by a generous fit,
and each gives away one turkey. Other
complication fit in with the centra! theme
and the renult is a very funny skit that
I very cleverly acted. Lillian Mills and
KHdn Morris blacken their faces with
burnt cork and present a tnntrl fliat
I part that Is a novel conceit and Is done
so well as ta win for the girl an Insistent
recall. Harry leClalr, the Inimitable fe
male Impersonator, has a Cleopatra bur
lesque this seKson that exceeds In merit
and effect anything that he ha ever shown
before. It hardly needs be said that he Is
a hit. John Thornn is almost as clever as
he, and their new sketch Is brimming over
with occasion for laughter. It Is doubtful
If a better one lias ever been heard at
the Orpheum. In addition tn these funny
folks are some others who deserve atten
tion. Tearl and Diamond cp-n the bill
with a good dancing turn, and Agnes Mahr
rinse It with a similar exhibition. Just
enough difference exists between the two
acts to distinguish them, and both are
good. Flo Adler sings several new songs,
and with her boy vocalist scores the cus
tomary hit. The klnodrome pictures are
good.
The Cilrl front Vwedea at the Kmc.
The popularity of this play doesn't seem
to wane a It grow older. Both perform
ances yesterday were witnessed by all the
theater would accommodate, and each
time the audience seemed to enjoy the
piece to the limit. Maldle DeLong ts a
dialect comedienne who has won her right
to mangle the Kngllsh language, and she
does it in a delicious way. Knute tea
helps her out with hi Impersonation of
Ole while she Is Hulda. The rest of the
Characters In the play are essential only to
the action, and don't cut much figure with
the people, who watch for Hulda and Ole.

In a previous article coffee was discussed.
Its history and geography sketched, mis
taken charges against It disposed of, the
testimony of savants to Its cnaracter and
virtues presented, the way to get good
coffee pointed out and how to prepare It
explained. Naturally, once the range of
subjects tea, beer, ale and wine to which
coffee Is held by many of th foremost
thinkers and economist to belong 1 en
tered upon. It I next to lmpolble to re
frain from consideration of all It divis
ion. The case of either of the above mentioned
beverages is analogous to that of coffee,
which has grown to be mistakenly consid
ered a nerve racker that drive men to
drink, yet Is often the favorite stimulating
beverage of people noted for their temper
ate habits.
Statistic show that the people coun.
tries In which beer, ale or wine la In com
mon use are equally temperate. The Juice
of the grape and the Infusion of malted
barley and hops would appear to serve, as
do tea and coffee, to satisfy that craving
for stimulants that aeem Innate In all peo
ples, and that, too, without the baneful re
sults that follow the Intemperate use of
alcohol.
It would eeem, then, "a sowing of good
seed" to furnish reasons for their substi
tution for more harmful beverages; for. If
It ha an Influence upon a man to show
how certain practices have made, or
marred, his neighbor, why not upon a peo
ple? Contrast what the undue Indulgence
In alcohol ha done to certain nations, with
what wine and malt beverages have done
for others, and add to the lesson the weight
of scientific authority as to their effect
upon the Individual, and It must command
attention; show that, while the former is
deleterious, the latter are good food and
drink both and the lesson will be applied.
Beer No riebelan Prink.
Beer, as the most largely used of the
three beverages In this country, naturally
claim the earliest consideration. Though
In common use almost the world over, and
by reason of Its small cost within reach of
the slenderest purse, beer is by no means
plebeian Its lineage is of the noblest; In
northern mythology. the brewer and his art
were important factors, the beer drinking
meetings of the Germanic tribes being really
sacrlflcl.il hanquets. It is worthy of note
that today several monkish orders In Eu
rope, and a certain monastery in Pennsyl
vania, brew famous beers, and Introduce
the season's brew with seml-religlous cere
monials. Wllda, the writer of an excellent
history of the ancient guilds, give numer
ous examples of this queer admixture of
heathen feast and Christian festival, among
them that of King Haakon, who ordained
that Yuletlde should be celebrated Christ
mas day, and that every freeman should
brew the third of a tun of good malt, and
continue the celebration as long as his beer
lasted!
It speaks well for the virtue of beer that
Its excesive use by the Norsemen did not

Oriarla of Hopped Malt Beer.
The beverage we know as beer la not the
traditional winelike drink extracted from
barley; yet, though of more recent origin,
nothing is really known of the place and
date at which it first, appeared. Hopped
malt beer is by some attributed to Jan Pri
I rnus, a Burgundlan prince who flourished
about the middle of the thirteenth century.
while others ascribe It to one Jean Ban
Peur 1371-Hli. or Ganbiivius. It Is prob-
i able that a corruption of the latter name
will account for that pf the present king of
beer. OambrluUs. An entertaining writer
uccount for the fact that Oambrlnus ia al
ways represented in the habit of u knight
of the middle age, with the occasional ad
dition of a crown, thu: "Popular imagi

portance to beer thut. In according the

j fled with anything less than a king Just as
! the Kgyptiuns, in remote antiquity, ascribed
1 the invention of their barley drink to their
benevolent god Osiris, and the ancient Her
mans conceived of a brew house in Wal
hnlla under the supervision of a presiding
deity."
First American Loser Beer.
Lauer. a lag-T beer brewer of the earlier
half of the nineteenth century, ascribed the
honor of having first brewed it here to one
Wagner, who, on coming to America in
lM'J. set up a lager beer brewery In a
small building in the suburbs of Phila
delphia. This was not the first Introduc
tion of beer in thla country, though: It
was consumed on the soil of New England
by people of German origin long before
the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers. The
Vikings carried with them their favorite
i,e..r,. when on their vnvace to these
coasts, they discovered Vlneland; and Oos
nold. when. In 18".!. he landed at the cape
he named Cape Cod. brought with him an
ample supply.

Improvements In Brewing;.
The growing popularity of beer has
brought forth Innumerable Improvements In
brewing and malting, and these hsv been
supplemented by the researches of Pas
teur, llanion, Delbrueck, Van kaer, Morris,
Joergensen and other scientists; also by
exhaustive investigations into, and works
on. fermentation, yeast culture, bacteri
ology, and. at last, artificial refrigeration.
The new method, though they have not
reached perfection, have made of the
American brewhouse. It I claimed by the
cognoscenti such men. for example, as
Delbrueck and Van Laer a model even for
tho of Bavaria, "the land of beer." It

that a th total Importation of beer, ale

A nervous, irritable mother, often on

trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fart
that the mother has some female weak

the strain upon her neres that (rovem

America's Debt to Beer.
In this country, even under present excise j
luwe. the temperance problem Is fast being
solved, and It is probable that, in a com- j
paratlvcly short time, America will occupy j
the first place among temperate nations
that is, unless the condition under which
the decrease In consumption Of ardent Pir-
its and the Increase In the use of fermented i
beverage have taken place should be (
changed for the worse. As, however, the
experimentation in this country has ranged I
from total non-interference to absolute pro- j
fnoiuon, mm me proper policy mi ucii
found to be midway between the two. It Is
probable that "well enough'" will be "1st
alone."
How Beer la Maae.
Tt may be remarked of beer that there Is
more misinformation concerning Its manu
facture and constituents disseminated by
ignorance than in the case of coffee even
which is taying a good deal. Perhaps a de
scription of these will dissipate this ignor
ance and the unjust prejudice it engender.
The Ingredients used are sterilized and
j nllered soft water, crushed malt and 3 per
oent of rloe, or grits, and hops ther I no
substitute for hops. The crushed malt I
placed In the "mash tub" upon a perforated
copper ple.le, placed soino two Inches above
the real bottom. Then, the rice, or grit,
which has been bolsd (partly under pres
sure) to disrupt It cell which dissolve an
encyn, called dlu: ise, that with heat and
moisture turns starch Into sugar 1 added
to the malt. After being thoroughly mixed
by tnvchanirally operated mashing rakes,
the "wort." as the Infusion I termed at this
stage, which ha strained through the per
foration, is drained off and entered into
the brew kettle proper, the solid being left
on the copper plate of the mash tun to be
eventually old for cattle feed.
In the brew kettle the hops, in the pro
portion of one pound to a barrel, are added,
and the infusion boiled two hours, after
which the latter gov to the "hop hack,"
where the hops are strained out; it Is then
carried up into shallow cooling vats on the
roof, under shelter, to take oxygen and
chemically fix It for the nourishment of the
yeast to be added later, after which tt la
! allowed to run nown over a system ot
i partly refrigerated pipes which brings it
down to a temperature of 46 degree Fahr
enheit and where It takes up, mechanically,
more oxygen; it then goes to the ferment
ing tanks where the yeast, one pound to
the barrel. Is introduced. As the yeast, be
sides causing fermentation, also checks
bacteria, the brewer' worst enemy. It is
added a soon as possible to the wort, in
the "starting tun," where, after twenty
four hours, it begins to woik. Then the
Impurities settle. The yeast uses up the
sugar, or carbohydrates. In beer, it splits
this sugar up into carbonic acid gas and
alcohol In about equal proportions the gas
quickly dissipates, the alcohol being re
tained. After twenty-four hours It Is
pumped from the starting tun into ferment
ing tuns, where the temperature run from
46 to 63 degree Fahrenheit. In five or six
days the yeast quadruples Itself; it then
goes to the bottom, and th temperature
falls to that of the room, about 38 degrees
Fahrenheit, and 1 further lowered by brine
colls. The beer now has alcohol, dextrine
and a little carbonic acid gas. From her
it 1 run off Into the finishing tank, where
t is undwr about four pounds pressure.
Here the "kraeuen" the Infusion In which
I he yeast Us begun It work Is taken from
the fermenting tuns and added: and th
tank are then bunged air tight. This
"kraausen" produce, in small quantities,
the carbonic acid gas that give "head" to
the beer. The latter is one month in the
finishing tuns, where it clarifies under a
pressure of from four to seven pounds to
the square Inch. It is afterward passad
through filtering machines Into the trad
package.
For bottled beer "krausen" is not used.
Carbonic acid gas, drawn from the fermen

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
" I dragged through nine years of miser
able existence, worn out with pain and ner

fly. I then noticed a statement of a woman
troubled as 1 was, and the wonderful results
she derived from Lydia E. llnkhaiu's Vege

and at the end of three months I was a differ

Ir. W. H. Wiley, ,-hief of the hureatt of
Chemistry of the t'nited States Depart
ment of Agriculture, agrees with Pasteur
that beer Is a "vrrltabl food product.
He dwells with particularity on the fsct
that the small quantity nf alcohol con
tained therein must he regarded a a food
ingredl' ut, saying;
"It ha been clearly demonstrated lhat,
when given in moderate quantities, thc
whole of the alcohol injected into the
stomach Is converted into heat during the
I proce of digestion. ssslnOitlon and ex-
cretlon." An authority, however, has
pointed out that the phrase "beer ta liquid
bread" does not accord sufficient value to
the potent fact that beer contains its con
stituent in a mnch more available form
than doe bread, and he suggests that to
do Justice to this peculiarity the phrase
should read: "Beer I predlgested bread."
He supports his theory with thla argument:
" 'Beer Is predjgested bread.' This fact
bwcomes all the more apparent when we
consider the subject from a physiological
standpoint. In order to b assimilable
carbohydrate in food must be dissolved,
and It has been shown that only a small
portion of raw starch and, for that mat
ter', gelatinised starch also is dissolved by
the ptyalln of the saliva, while the pepsin
of the gastric Juice is fitted chiefly to dis
solve albuminous matter and make them
absorbable. The digestion or dissolution
of starch matter Is, therefore, left almost
entirely to the pone reutic fluid which is
secreted in the duodenum, a comparatively
small part of the digestive system." New
