Boucicault on the Passion, Play

Dion Boucicault writes the following
interesting sketch of the notorious
/" Passion Play" which he saw in San
Francisco: "I saw the Passion Play
at the Grand opera house recently. 1t
was beautiful. fhe house was very
poorl 1t creates peculiar feeling. Tn
city fathers of San Francisco passed an
ordinance expressly to squelch this per-
formance. 1t is contended that they
exercised their constitutional powers in
doing SO, and O'Neil is now before the
Pilate OF the Slope who has not yet
passed judgment on the matter. Mean
while the management has Withdrawn
the play. As there has been no objec-
tion to Moses in Egypt and The
Prodigal Son, and The Witch Of Endor;'
as there is no objection to Elijah

orateries, ETC., the question arises, whore
are we to draw the line? What bibliea

Where is the line to be drawn7 The
principal objection to me inthe represen-
tatien IL the yulgarity OF some OF the per-
formers representing disciples. In the
scene representing the Last Supper the
stage is divided thus: On the left is q
fantastic shanty open to the audience,
big enough to hold the table and form q
frame to De vinci's picture. The othe
half of the stage is wood, intended TO
represent the Garden of Gethsenane,
suppose. Well, after supper, Christ
leaves the table and goes outside to pray
During His few words all tho disciple
inside simultaneously dsoop forward
with their faces down on the table
ranged in regimeDtai sleep, as If the wine
had got the better of them. Judas came
back with two military police officers
and crowd, and Jesus Christ Is arrested
at supper. This rather crowds into one
spot and one tins incidents that occurred
otherwise. The last scene, the ascent
into Heaven, was an attempt to initiate
the last sceas of Taast sna Marguerite,
but it was oaly partially and imperfectly
accomplished.

Bro. Gardner's Lime-kiln Club.


Gem'lem, de seZun of de circus am

uel Shin devoured his last peanut. II
heven't seen de illustrious hsnd-bills on

different parts of de kentry akin if dis

to prevent de circus from destroyin' de
Sunday-school bizness. Now, has my
own personal opinyun bout desc fngs,
but I'd like to h'ar from de members of
de club in gineral."
There was pretty solid chunk of
silence after the president sat down,
but Sir Isaac Walpole finally got up and
said:
"Waal, now, L believe I kin remember
of gwine to de fust circus dat struck de
state of ole Virginny, an I reckon none
eber showed up in Detroit an got away
from me. Ize bin right dar, frens, an

one single spot. De man who can't go
to circus with clean conscience an
coEae home de same way had better
set out an diskiver a kentry for him.
self"
Several other speeches of like character
were made, and the president arose and
said
"Gem'len, let it STAN as de opinyun
of de Lime-Kiln Club dat gwine to de
circus am twice as respectable as sittin'
on de fence, an maxim up faces at de

Sound Sense in the Rearing of
Children.

A venerable lady now living in New
York, who has had ten children, all born
and reared in cities, and raised nine of
them, all living at the present moment,
having reached the adult age, never al
lowed any of them an children to eat
anything between meals except dry
bread, though she was wealthy and
could just as easily have pampered every
whim. Her constant reply was, when
they demurred, MY dear. you are not
hungry, if you can not eat bread. Now,
it is very certain thst her children did
not inherit remarkably robust constitu-
tions; AID under the ordinary pampers
ing system of mothers, it is fair to sup-
pose that many of them would have
died or become puny men and women.
When a child knows by experience that
he can have nothing but bread between
meals, he will not ask for it unless he
really needs it, and them he iii not
take enocgh to destroy his keener appe-
tite fer the good things at the table; ;
while if be is allowed fruits and pastry,
as SO many children are, Le will seldom
come to his meals with fine relish for
his food, and taking it without that
relish, it fails to be rapidly aasimilated,
II, indeed, It do not enfeeble or derange
he digestive function.
