Kisses? Richard Wagner Sent $4,000
to His Wife, but Still They Disagreed

Richel," and in still another he
sends her the modest consignment
of $4,000 kisses! He is constantly
complaining that she has failed to
write him, or failed to meet him as
he appointed, and ne gives mos
genuine expression of his down.
heartedness as the consequences;
while he Is Just as ecstatic on re-
ceiving word from her, and fills his
letters with pleadings for her to be
patient, and to consider his own
terribly unfortunate position, and
with assurances that he will strive
even more, II possible, to econo-
mize in order that she may enjoy
life. AS early as 1850 there is a
warning of a possible separation
and his agony at the thought, and
he tells her another time that her
weakness or sin is that she thinks
more of houses and furniture and
stationary domestic comforts than
of him and his struggle to express
his soul.
A very interesting feature Of this
edited correspondence of Wagner
with his first wife are the letters
sent her from 1861 to 1863. Authori-
ties generally state that the couple
separated in 1861. never afterward
lived together or maintained the
marital relation, and that Minna
Wagner died in 1866. Yet here we
have twenty-three letters dated
1851, thirty-eight letters written in
1852, and three or four sent in the
spring and autumn of 1863. In
outward form. at least, there is
little less affection shown by the
poet-musician toward his frail
partner than in former years, and
the very last letter published notes
a remittance Of money-the n
thing. apparently. that was needed
by the young couple to make life
worth the living.

TT OW often the tragedies of do
n mestic life are due 70 the
high-strung and easily dis
couraged temperament of the wife,
and the successive failures of the
husband-be it his fault or be it the
overwhelming opposition and cruel
rebuffs of an unsympathetic world
is illustrated again in the letters OF
Richard Wagner to his wife. Minna,
recently published in Germany.
Wagner's first wife was Minna
Planer, an actress, whom he mar
ried In, 1884. and from her portrait
and the little data that have come
down to US. there is reason to be-
lieve that she had many good quail
ties. There must have been much
in her to admire, or the sensitive
genius, embryo though 1t was,
would never have loved her as he
did, or poured out his heart and soul
to her, even to the last. From these
letters 1t would appear that she re-
manned with her mother a good deal
after their maria ge-much more
than Wagner thought was neces-
sary, for he often sent her money
and appointed a meeting place when
she did not come-and it is likely
that she thus early contributed to
the arrangement between them
which prolonged separation usually
brings about.
The next and doubtless greatest
force at work to mar the happiness
of the gifted couple was the long
succession of failures which Wag-
ner experienced year after year in
his efforts to place his operas,
when. for weeks at a time in Ores
den, Paris, Vienna. he waited in
vain for audiences with directors
and princes who alone had the

ORIGIN OF FRUIT.

What is the origin of the seedless
orange and also of grape fruit?. F.
2 IThe first navel orange tree planted in
California was by Luther c. Tibbets
and his wife. at Riverside, in 1873. They
obtained the tree from William Saun-
ders, of Washington, D. c., who had Sc

planted in the orange grove house at
Washington, where some of them are
yet bearing fruit. The peculiar superb
GRITTY of the fruit from the Riverside
planted tree speedily attracted atten-
ton, and from this all of the several
million navel orange trees in California
have been propagated.
Grape fruit originated in Malaga and
the Polynesian Islands. where it is eX-
tensively cultivated. Florida, California
and the West Indies supply the Amer
