The origin Of the Passion Play is as
follows: In 1893 there was a great pesti-
lence in Germany. The superstitiOus vii
lages thinking to avert the wrath Of heaF-
en-, promised every ten years to enact the
sutferings'of Christ, en- theatrical stage.
The,play has been every decade since that
date. The boom OF gun. woke the vii
layers at an early hour. At half-past seven
IN the morning the audience assembled at
the theatre The play begins at eight and
lasts until evening. There are eighteen acts
IN that play, commencing with Christ's
entry into Jerusalem and closing with as
cension. Joseph Meyer impersonated
Christ, and hangs for twenty minutes uton
the cross, suspended by a loop about his
waist. Men and women are elaborately
trimmed to take their parts. At one time
there are 600 people on the stage. Joseph
Meyer plays his part so well that heis more
reyerenced in the village than the Emper-
or. A witness of the play says, that while
a sharpe and cutting hail fell. through the
unroofed theatre upon the cheek Of Meyer
he did not vince, and no sign Of life could
be detected when he was playing insensi-
Bile.
The play will probably be never enacted
again in Europe, the Pope having de-
nounced it. Public opinion here has be-
come so strongly against the production
that Mr.. Abby has wisely Withdrawn it,

WEARING Our LAND.-Continuou
cropping will exhaust any soil What
ever elements are removed from the soil
BY cropping must be replaced in some
way, if fertility is maintained The
ability of a soil to produce well depends
upon the chemical constituents that are
present in it, provided its mechanical
condition is such as to render these mat
tiers available to plants, These matters
or constituents are the food upon which
plants live, and a knowledge of them,
combined with the chemical composition
of the ashes of different plants, suggests
a rational system of agriculture. The
importance of a judicious succession Of
crops in order to maintain fertility, in
the light Of these facts, is at once APP
parent. Some crops remove a larger
proportion of particular elements than
others, while some derive nutrment from
near the surface, and some send their
roots to greater depth to gather sub
stance ;Ahance the i'm portance Of follow
ing the former with the latter, and Of
supplying in the way Of manures the
substances necessary to surface growing
plants. Science affords invaluable as
sistance to the farmer just here. With
its aid and the exercise of Judgment
wanted fruitfulness may be restored to
impoverished soils.
