Grounds claimed for streets and
enclosed and claimed by people
having possession of it for an in
definite time can only be reclaimed
bv law, and it may never be recov-
cred. Great good would be accom-
plished If ordinances were enforced
and punishment dealt out to all
who should hereafter obstruct a
street in any way, or make its pas
sage more inconvenient. Loosen
the dirt, so its washing away will be
easy, and we may reach an under

in good streets about the time when

first lighthouse was erected on this
rock as long ago as 1861, but was

third stood from 1867 TO 1882 and was

SeidI's Silent Tongue.

One of the most striking anecdotes
told in Hermann Klein's Thirty Years
of Musical Life In London relates To
Anton Seidl's first interview with Wag-
ner in the library at Wahnfried. SeidI
found the room dark, and, imagining
nobody was there, he pulled out his let
ter of introduction and began silently
rehearsing the speech he had prepared.
Suddenly from out of the gloomy cor
ner Wagner appeared, and Seidl was
so nervous that he could not bring out
a sentence of his speech. This proved
to be his salvation, for Wagner, declar
ing, "If yoU can work as well as you
can hold your tongue, you will do"
engaged him on the spot.
