which is the glory Of Man;ci, en-
bracing the famous Dusseldorf Gallery and
the cream Of many collections. The name
is from the Greek and signifies repository
of pictures. Like most other important
buildings in Munich it ia modern, not hsV-
ing been finished till 1895 or 81 and Is in
the Renaissance style, with, as has been
said, suggestion of the Vatican about it
Ii is adorned with upwards of twenty
statues Of celebrated painters from sketches
By Schwanthaler. There are eleven large
salons and twenty toar small rooms or
cabinets" all crowded with pictures ar
ranged in proper chronological order,
with the name OF 3 painter
attached 10 each picture. There are
no fees at these galleries, and they are
open daily except Saturday. Even the Ba-
varian Museum, one Of the finest and most
perfect in the world 10 its collections OF the
art and industry Of all ages, is open free on
Sunday, though with the exception OF We'd
nesday it charges mark (twenty five
cents on the other days for admission. 1t
is curious thing that a government for the
people and by the people does as little as
possible tor the peop le-probably on the
principle that what is everybodys business
is nobodys. While all over Europe the col
lections, the gallerys the museums, the parks,
the pslaces-even those which nomiually
belong to the Crown-are only he'd to De
taken care of for the people. lndivl iull
gifts and benefactions of this kind are SUB
i4ct here, as with US, to the will Of the per
son who bestows them-to his opinions and
pr5iudces What G lvernment dos it
must do for the whole AID especially for
those who cannot otherwise obtain VIII t it
has 10 give. Thus the poor, who have their
work every day ia the week, have free
churches free galleries, free museums and
music in the parks in the afternoon to
brighten their work on Sunday which is in
truth o DAY Of rest and enjoyment to them.
The old dipgs and dukes and electors have
left legacy to the people, far beyond any
sggrandizement power or money could be-
stow in these accumulated treasures, which
were obtained often at much individual cost
and sacrifice, preserved against
the will Of the turbulent
who could not understand their functions or
value, and left us as the mos. valued OF all
legacies to the whole people. The wonder,
zoo, Is that the amazing amount OF work
should have been accomplished in 80 brief
q time. Art in Gsrmsny-in the co e t We
form-did not begin till the sixteenth cen
tury. Albert Y. was the first royal colec.
tor, and his taste was mora for what we
should call brio q brac than paintings. In
Germany, however, we realize. more than
elsewhere, how truly universal art is, and
in bow many forms and sayS it can find ex-
preston. The utipsel is as truly work OF
art as the picture; it embodiss form, feeling
and color, and though painting is best
adapted for showing life without movement.

more glory to those who succeed in extract
