'here. together with small amount

the wants OF the city and its vicinity.

A wagasr Anecdote.

This Wagner anecdote is related in
a Vienna paper BY N. Won Meysenburg,
who heard 1t from Wagner himself.
At the time when Wagner was at work
on "Lohengrin' one OF his intimate
friends in Dresden was the Russian
Bakunin. nihilist, who was subse-
Guently confined in an Austrian prison
ami finally handed over to the Rus
sian authorities and exiled to Siberia.
BY him Wagner was infected with
much of that revolutionary spirit
which led to his own twelve years
exile. The events OF 1S4S had raised
to the point of ecstatic fanaticism
Bakunin's hopes Of n general overturn
OF politics and society. One day, short
ly before the uprising in Dresden.
Wagner invited him to a rehearsal OF
Beethoven's ninth symphony. Being
very fond Of music, he accepted. After
the performance he stepped up to
Wagner at the conductors desk and
said: Look here: when we annihilate
everything, we shall have to make an
exception Of the score OF the ninth
symphony!"-Exchange

Locomotive Building Rivalry.

An interesting rivalry is Just now going
on between the English and American To-
connective builders as to which can turn
out an engine In the shortest space of
time. AT present the honors are with the
Englishmen. but more than one American
builder is laying plans to bring the laurels
to this side Of the Atlantic. The world
record Is now held by the Great East ern
railway works at Stratford. England.
This company broke the record OF the Al
toona works of the Pennsylvania system
and has for six years had u standing chal-
lenge. open to the world. to equal its
achievement.
The Great Eastern built an engine COM
plete In ten hours in 1891. Eighty-nve men
were put to work on the engine and nifty
two on the tender. Five hours after the
work was begun the engine wns wheeled.
and nye hours later the locomotive was
turned out complete. from pilot TO the
rear of the tender. The first performance
OF this kind ever attempted was made at
the London a Northwestern works nt
crewe ten years ago when an engine was
built in twenty-five and half hours. Six
months later the works nt Altoona beat
that record by nearly ten hours.

KITCHEN GARDENING.

Of Charitable Work.

Origin aaA MstAoA Of . vssy Ussful Forn
Of CHARITABLE Work.
Kitchen gardening is a form Of prac-
ncAl kindergarten work which has at
:racted great interest among workers
among the poor In our large cities. In
Denver, under the guidance Of the phil
Ianthroplc department of the Womnn's
eiuh school for Domestic Science has
been established, where not only in
struction in kitchen gardening is
taught to many poor children, but
ADULTS are trained In the work 80 that
they may Introduce It In other towns
ana cities. At the state conference Of
charities and corrections, held In Colo
eedo Springs recently. Miss Isabel Hill
OF Denver read paper explaining the
WORK OF kitchen gardening which
aroused great interest, and she 10
now receiving many Inquiries from va
eious portions Of the state relative to
the cost Of introducing the work and
the practical results obtained.
Miss Emily Huntington originated
tne work In Wilson mission, New York
city, about twenty years ago. It has
been developed until now a course of
study has been arranged covering q
period Of six months, md the work has
been established In many cities and
towns Of the United States, In England,
France and even In India and Japan.
The aims are to instruct children In
the art Of home-makIng-to take the
drudgery out Of so-called menlal work
and elevate the home duties of won,-
en- by inspiring the pupils with the
tight way Of doing things. The means
employed are occupations, games and
songs referring to housework, adapted
to childish nature. The materials used
comprise miniature dishes. laundry
bags and clothing. beds and bedding,
cooking utensils and all other articles
used In well established household.
Undertake guidance of n trained teach
tr the pupils In the kitchen garden. by
means OF songs and games, are taught
to set the table, to sweep and dust, to
make beds. to wash dishes. In short.
20 do all the routines Of well ordered
house In practical and, at the same
time, scientific and orderly manner.
In Denver, children from the pala-
1al homes on Capitol Hill have gone
aown to these schools to take this
course with much pleasure and profit,
while the benefits to the children OF the
working people are beyond calculation.

IMPORT ANT CANAL IN RUSSIA.
One to D., Ruilt to Connect the nlaek
Sea and Baltic Sea.

One to d, Ra,it to Connect the nl.ek
Sea and Baltic Sea-
From the Philadelphia Ledger: Next
spring work will be begun upon the
great canal through southwestern Rus
sia that when finished will connect the
Baltic with the Black sea. The polit-
ical significance OF this work Is evil
dent. and 1t is OF far greater import
ance than the Industrial. This water
way will enable Russian vessels to 30
from st. Petersburg to Constantinople
without passing hostile forts or being
In danger from the navies Of other ma
tions. and 1t will generally enlarge the
scope Of Russla's maritime effective
ness. The work Of building the canal
Is stupendous one, but 1t Is not an
great as one would think on first con-
sideration Of the length OF the canal,
which is to be 1.0S0 miles. The River
Duna, flowing into the Baltic. and the
River Dnieper, emptying in the Black
sea. arc not far apart at their sources
and only l2O miles of canal will have
to be dug outright. The rest Of the
distance will be through canalized riv-
ers. The canal Is to be PIT feet wide
and 281h feet deep-so that the largest
war vessels can pass through with
ease. The banks will be strengthened.
in order that speed Of six knots can
be maintained, and the journey from
one end to the other accomplished
within weeks time. The cost will
be about 10000 900, and it will re-
quire four years to finish the work.
So far nothing has been done toward
the work except the elaborate surveys
and estimates, just completed.
