Richard Wagner's long-lost religious can
tata, "LiebesmahI der Apostel," or, as
it is generally known, THE Holy Supper
of the Apostles was produced here on
Thursday for the first time and was re-
ceived with enthusiasm. II continues to
run. The cantata was composed by Wag-
ner in 1913 for performance at a grand
festival in Dresden on July of that year,
but soon afterward was lost, and IL has
only recently been unearthed in the Royal
Library at Berlin. Six weeks ago the
libretto was published in the Bayreuther
Batter The cantata is in four actsAand
is somewhat similar in style TO Mendels-
sohn's cantata, "Paulds."
The Philadelphia Times tells of a we'll
known rector in that city who had an ex-
perience short time ago which was at
least novel. Two children (irst cousins)
were brought 10 The church at a Sunday
morning service to be baptized. Their
grandmother acted as the principal god
mother. When the rector took the first
child in his arms he propounded the usual
question: Name this child" The god
mother answered Dewey" perceptible
smile Immediately pervaded the congrega-
ton. When the next child was presented
the same question was, of course, asked
smile rippled into something sounding
much like suppressed laughter, while the
solemn ceremony was performed with he
coming dignity.
PROVIDED that sky scrapers are supplied
with steam pipes strong enough to stand
the pressure. says New York letter in
the Philadelphia Ledger, the fire depart
ment has proved that with its fire en-
gines it can force big stream of water
up to the very top of the highest build
ings in New York. A test was made this
afternoon at the ST. Paul building, which
has twenty-five stories and reaches 317
feet above the street. For five minutes
a stream of water was raised to the roof
and sent across Broadway and over the
roof of ST. Paurs Chapel. Then the steam
pipe broke al the fifteenth story, and the
test had to be abandoned But it had al
ready proved success, as there seems to
be no reason why pipes cannot be made
which will stand all the pressure brought
TO bear upon them. The break in this in
stance was due to a defect
Chicago has an anomaly in the person
of Ralph Roe, who is at present making
his headquarters in the Windy City, says
the Philadelphia Press. Roe is not the
gentleman's real name nor that under
which he graduated from an Eastern col7
lege. He simply uses it for professional
purposes, and his profession is that of d
tramp. But he has a mission, and there
is the redeeming feature, Who ever be
fore heard of tramp with a mission? Mr..
Roe is forming a vagabond's union He
has tramped over the whole world during
the past twenty-five years and he knows
his business from Alpha to Omega The
Amalgamated Association of HOBBS is to
protect its members from the law and pre-
sumably from dogs and homemade pie. 1t
is to build homes and issue maps of the
best lunch routes" and in every way
make life easy for its supporters and mis-
cradle for non-union men. This is GER
tainly the latest In trusts. But there are
worse-in New Jersey.
DIR. Lauder Brunton draws a broad
distinction between exercise which is bene-
fetal. and over-exercise, which is PERM
cious, says the Chicago Record. Exercise
should be carried only to the point of
nutrition, not to that of exhaustion. The
limit is set by three factors: % the ca
pacity of the digestive organs to keep up
the quality of the blood; O. the capacity
of the eXcretory organs TO get rid of the
waste products which result from mus
cular action and 90 the power of the

through every corner of the organism In
reference with digestion is by no means
an uncommon effect of excessive eXer-
else, and so far as training is concerned it
Is one of the most destructive. Moderate
exercise tends to produce appetite but
a long and eXhausting exertion DESTROYS
it, or even produces actual sickness, as in
mountain climbing. In many cases Excess
sive exercise leads to diminished excre-
ton. This may be very dangerous, as
the system may be absolutely poisoned
by the products of muscular waste which
cannot escape from it. Thus, interference
with digestion so lowers nutrition, while
accumulations of waste products so Will
ate the system that in either case further
exertion becomes impossible-the very will
to make it passes away. But it is differ

can be driven on long after it has reached

the dilated cavity may not quite close at
each contraction, and permanent mischief
is set up. DR.. Brunton shows very plain
ly that exercise driven to the limit impos-
ed by the heart is over-exercise in the
most serious sense of the word. If il is
the heart that stops it, the chances are
that it has already gone too far.
Music has long been used by physicians

tents or raising the spirits of those prone
