The Hero of Last Island Dead.

Does heroisn pay? Nearly always in the
sense of honor deserved, very often in
the sense of honor received, but rarely
in the direction Of practical recognition.
Capt. Abraham Smith, who died recently
In New Orleans hospital, had few friends
besides his devoted wife and adopted son.
Yet in 1856, when he was but 70 years of
age, the country rang with his name, and
he was known fer and wide as the hero of
Last Island. The island was a famous
summer resort until storm on the night
Of Aug. 8, in the year mentioned. practi-
Cally swept it from existence. The steamer
Star, with Capt. Smith in command, was
at the landing when the hurricane began,
and the few people saved oEged their lives
TO the daring sailors exer5ions In later
years he djst5ntingIlished himself by rescu-
ing over forty people from periIous situa-
tionS. At the last he had nothing save the
memory CT life well spent and the cour-
age to accept death SUMMONS fearlessly
when it came.

proof of the truth Of the pFoverb. The vii

their real names, but By those of the char
acters they portray. The result is ludicrous
in some respects and distasteful in others.
For instance, there mast be a certain shock

"Simon Peter drank toe much beer last

matisn," or that MARY Magdalene makes

what they were about, for they had grown
less simple and more worldly wise. Ten
years ago curiosity seekers trooped into
the debt laden town and made of the specu-
latiOn an enormous success. They bought
wood carvings, paid handsomely for board
and lodging, and disbursed largely for adj
missions to the theatre. Exhibitions were
given weekly, beginning with the last Sun
day in May and ending with the last Sun
day in September The box Office re-
ceipts,' as the irreligious Snowman would
say, averaged SIS, 900 for each performance
during the season. and the profits were di
vided among the actors, those appearing in
the chief roles getting the bulk of the cash.
Naturally, for man is weak, prosperity
made the villagers avaricious and turned
the BaEaIian Arcadia into a mart for
money making. In 1888 the principal
characters for the production Of the sum-
mer of 1880 were selected. The era of
harmony had gone by and great quarrel
attended the construction of the cast. It's
noise rolled beyond the confines of ODER
ammergau, and the government of the
kingdom decided that IS the Passion Play
had degenerated from its original purpose
into an ordinary scheme for money max

Fruits for Digestion.

Though most people may be inclined to
suppose that fresh fruits, such as the apple,
the pear or the plum would kave tan
dency to promote acidity in the stomach,
their effect Is really TO diminish It if eaten
when ripe and without sugar. for their
vegetable salts ana juices are converted
into alkaline c2rboaGtes, which couaberact
acidity. \ goea ripe apple Is one Of the
easiest of vegetable substances for tho
to deal with, the whole process Of

Ohio, noted along many lines of trade and
enterprise, but equally famous also for
achievements in art and for the attain

dwell upon the heights overlooking the
busy valley where centers the city's hustle

be termed the western Boston, for her wo-
men are not content to rest solely upon the
laurels that loveliness wins. Instead, they

Thus quantity runs the old chronicle,
telling IN brief and barren phrase the story
of a deadly epidemic, and the appeal to
heaven wheuall earthly power had failed
to stay its rgvages. Perhaps the plague
had exhausted its powers, or perhaps, to
adopt the view Of the peasants the Deity
was pleased to avert the death angels
wrath because OF humble supplication and
trust in superEal mercy. At any rate
health and happiness returned once more
to the picturesque valley Of the AmmeT.
and save when war or rulers interviewed to
prevent, the VOW has been kept. As years
went by and travel increased the presenta-
ton Of the Passion Play in the little noun
tain hamlet by the humble carvers of wood
attracted more and more attention.
Early in the century the tide of tourists
set ON each summer of the dramas recur-
renee toward Oberammergau, and in a
sense the result has been disastrous. The
simple methods and abiding faith Of the
peasant actors are gone, and with them
their hearty hospitality. -Four decades back
the devil was cut out Of the play because
his horns, hoofs and sulphurous personality
displeased the sensibilities Of aristocratic
patrons. Then the text and action were
revised to meet modern demands. The revi-
sion eliminated the medieval ruggedness
and strength, but breatked no fresher or
more vigorous spirit into the dry bones of
the skeleton that remained An open air

Vicar General Keegan's Death.

The Catholic church of New York and of
the United States has recently sustained
great loss by the death of the Very Rev.
William Keegan, vicar general Of the do
cese Of Brooklyn and pastor of the Church
of the Assumption. He was not only very
efficient as priest and greatly beloved as
a man, but was noted for his executive
ability, and was always sought when some
unusual difficulty presented itself in the
organization Of local church or society.
He seemed to be gifted with one of those
happily constituted intellects which at first
