Procession Much Like the
Passion Play.

Religious Procession Mach Like the
Passion Play.
The quaint little Flemish town Of
Furnes. situated twelve miles from
Dunkirk, has just celebrated its annual
procession with q fervov of the Middle
Ages. This procession. which In real
ity is a passion play, enacted by groups
was instituted many years ago. in
atonement for the sacrilegious act of
two soldiers. and has since undergone
no change. The town becomes for this
single day in the year the rendezvous
for devotee and pilgrims from all
parts of Belgium. The procession con-
sists of forty groups and the costumes
many Of which are provided by the in
habitants of the town, who regard 1t
as up rivilage to figure among the ac-
tors-are Of the richest description.
The sacrifice. of Abraham, the proph-
cts, St. John nading lamb, the stable
Of Bethlehem. with Mary and q child,
the shepherds, the kings Of the East,
the flight into Egypt, and all the cpl
sNles Of the Eayiourss life, His entry
into Jerusalem with the Apostles, the
Last Supper. the Garden Of Olives. the
betrayal of Judas, and the scenes Of
the crucidxlon are the groups which
constitute the panorama of the Pas
sion. Each group is preceded by peni-
tents wearing long robes, with head and
face concealed by cowl, and walking
barefooted. As soon as the passion
play is over the public houses are l,s-
sicged aad dancing bcglns in the nu.
merous booths set up for the OccasioD.

In-Breeding IN the Poultry Yard
The majority Of farmers breed their
fowls too closely. They often change
ROSTERS with each other, not keeping
in view the fact that they are sHl
breeding In, although apparently new
blood Is being infused. BY procuring a
rooster, or eggs, from elsewhere, the
farmer can. select any variety he de
sircs, and, although his original dock
may consist of common fowls, he may
by the use Of improved breeds, bring
them to a degree Of perfection equal
to the newer kind introduced.
Fresh blood gives vigor, activity,
hardness and proficiency. II the stock
is too closely inbred, the eggs from the
hens will not hatch well, and the chicks.
II any, will be small and weak. The,
best breed to use with the common
hens that are small. 70 the Light Brah-
ma, which will add size to the flock,
