they were played for the last time in 1914,
and curious old chronicle, written twenty
years later, and still preserved in Chester,
says that this last performance of them took
place:
"Sir John Savage Knight, being Mayor of
Chester, which was the last time they were
played, and we praise God, and praye that we
see not the like PROCLAMATION OF Holy Scripture
but 0, the meroie of God for the time of our
ignorance!"
But II was sixty-one years later than this
that the Oberammergau people, stricken
knew no better device to stay it than to vow
to God the performance of Play Of the Di-
vine Passion of Christ. 1t is as holy thing
to the masses of them now as it was then,
and no one can do justice to the Play, even
as dramatic spectacle, who does not look
at 1t with recognition of this fact.

AMONG the 1000 Lincoln relics which
Capt Oldroys of Springfield proposes to give
to the State if il will purchase the Abraham
Lincoln house and give them home there
in, is a we'll battered hat. On the forenoon
of the day of his nomination, Mr.. Lincoln
was out on the Springfield common taking
part in game Of ball, and In running to
make catch, stumbled and pitched head
first against one of the players, the fall driv-
ing the hat down over his ears, completely
running it. From the ball grounds Mr.. Lin
coin went to the State Journal office, and
while sitting there received the despatch an
nouncing his nomination. When he was
about to start home, the editor suggested
that it would never do for the young Repub-
lican party's candidate for the presidency to
go ON the street with such hat, and accor-
dinghy Mr.. Lincoln sent out and bought a
new one, leaving the old one at the Journal
office. There it was picked up and went in
to Oldroyd's collection.

GUATEMALA, Honduras, Costa Rlca, San
Salvador and Nicaragua are discussing a
plan for union of the Central American
States, and the first stfp has already been
taken, under the leadership Of Guatemala,
to hold Congress for this purpose at the
capital of Costa Rica One of the Central
American States, Panama, which would
naturally form part Of such confederacy,
is already one of the nine states making up
the United States of Columbia; but the re-
naming five republics, with joint terrific
ry of 162, 995 square miles and population
of 100000, would compare not unfass
vorably with Columbia on the South, with
half million square miles aud 2.951, 1928 in
population. Mexico, their Northern neigh
Dor, has nearly twice the population of both
the confederacies and over twice their terri
tories. On all accounts, the proposed Gem
trail American Union is likely to prove de-
sirable event, most of all in giving stable
power in whose territories the Nicaraguan
Canal be cut.

THE land question is becoming so ext
gent in Scotland in consequence of troubles
between the great land owners and the croft
tiers that the Imperial Government has re-
solved to appoint commissioner inquire into
the state of the Highlands. 1t is noteworthy
that one of the most tyrannieal of the evic-
tors is Mr.. Winans, an American million
aire, who is not landowner, but has rented
vast atea of forest land in the Highlands,
and proposes summarily to evict the crof-
;ers. In his case it is not question of rent
at all, the trouble arising from his determine
alton to clear out the tenants VINO have held
the soil for generations in order to make
room for deer. Under the Land Act he
would not be per mitted to dlspossess Irish
tenants in this fashion, and people are be-
ginning to ask why the same measure Of re-
lief should not be granted to the Scotch.

THE severity with which the English law
treats offences against property as compared
with the leniency with which crimes against
the person are dealt With, especially when
the victims belong to the humber classes,
is illustrated by two cases recently reported
in the English press. A bar-keeper was sent
down for three months for appropriating six
pence belonging to his employer, and car
man received exactly the same sentence for
kicking another man so severely that he died
a few days afterwards from his injuries. 1t
is not surprising that large class have little
faith in the quality of the justice melted ont
after this fashion.

PUBLIC opinion in London has apparent
ly settled down to the conviction that Lady
Florence Dixie's remarkable story was
evolved from her inner consciousness, and
the discussion of the affair has subsidized into
a mild wondering as to the motives which
could have prompted its invention. Charit-
ably disposed persons suggest that the im-
aginative lady was naturally overcome by a
fiction Of her own too lively fancy, while
others attribute her escapade to desire for
notoriety which has been frequently mani
tested in other ways. Either way the lady
is effectively discredited, and win hereafter
occupy a seat in the rear.

THE work of draining the Everglades of
Florida is progressing satisfactorily With
in six months from the time the canal from
Lake Hickpochee was commenced land
which had hitherto been covered by water
to depth of four or six feet was in many
places perfectly free from it and in others
not more than six inches deep. The soil so
redeemed is as rich and as fertile as that Of
the Mississippi valley, vegetable mould of
eight or ten feet resting on a subsoil or
pan of hard clay. The whole country is to
be freed from water by series of canals
and cross cuts.

INDIAN A has made a creditable record by
it's relief work in the Ohio Valley. The
Legislature appropriated 100000, of which
S45, 900 has been expended, while $4,000

by the suffering towns of Ohio, Indiana and

WE learn from recent British publications
that the English authorities in the Indian
empire not only govern the extent and man
agement of the Indian opium product, but
also regulate the market price by storing
the surplus in those years when the crop
is abundant, and retaining it to be sold in
subsequent years when the crop is not 50
good. The same style of management also
governs the coffee crop of Ceylon, the tea
crop of India and the coffee crop of Java.
