dellneator of Christ has to fall, and
each time the Roman soldiers dart for
ward and goad him on to new exer-
tons, while the air is rent with trum-
pet peals and shoutings of the mob.
Lastly there appear the psalm sing
ing penitents in their cowls. They are
of both sexes, and they pant beneath
the almost overwhelming weight Of
roughly hewn crosses, which they car
ry in various positions or drag after
them. Many Of these crosses, and also
tablets that are carried, bear inscrip-
lions Of aphorisms from the Old Tesla
ment in the Flemish tongue.
: On the return, great lassitude natur-
ally prevails in the ranks of penitents.
The coWls are laid aside, and the smart
ing feet are no longer bare. In st. Wal
burgis the numerous confessionals are
sought after. After the dissolution
each penitent kneels again and remains
in prayer for long time, his arms ex-
tended in the form of cross.
Gradually the church grows deserted.
The inns and drinking places are
crowded, and beer and wine begin to
flow in streams. Here sound songs and
turbulent cries. Lovers seize hands
and whirl in the dance. The religious
festival is past and now begin worldly
pleasures that last until far into the
night. A

SCENES FROM THE PASSION PLAY IN SLEEPY OBS FURNEs

Having thus formed a good basis for
exertion, the sagacious animal next
proceeds to thrust other bundles under
his belly, and as far back under his
hanks ais he can reach; when such a
4 basis is formed, as may be, in his mind,
proper to proceed upon, he throws his
whole weight forward, and gets his
hind feet gradually upon the straw,
etc. Being once confirmed on solid
footing, he will next place the succeed
Ing bundles before him, pressing them
well with his trunk, so as to form a
seauseway by which to reach firm.
ground.
The instinct Of the animal, and prob
ably the experience of past danger, ac-
tuates him not to bear any weight def
initely, until, by trial both with his
trunk and with the next foot that is to
be planted, he has completely satisfied
himself Of the frmness Of the ground
he is to tread upon. The caution with
which this, and every part OF his con-
duct on these occasions is marked,

Kansas Wheat Experiments.

Wheat went through the winter in
good condition and started well in the
spring, when, March %, freeze cut it
to the ground. This delayed ripening
two weeks, making it so late that it
was caught by the black rust after the
usual time Of ripening. The black
rust appeared June IL, as most of our
wheat was In the dough, and in three
days wheat that had promised yield
of 30 to 40 bushels per acre was hard
ly worth cutting, the plants were dead,
the straw fallen over and the grains
shrunken to less than half size. We
grew fifty-four varieties, but most OF
them were so badly injured by the rust
that they were not cut. The highest
yield Of the Turkey, our standard hard
wheat, was Is bushels per acre, while
the highest yield Of the Zimmerman,
our standard soft wheat, was % bush
els per acre. A test was made to de-!
termine whether it is best to plow the
ground In drouth and harrow It into
shape ready for seeding at the usual
time or wait until rain comes and
then plow. The early blowing was

Furnes, called Veurne by the Fla
smands, an old Belgian town, in the ex-
IRENE west Of Flanders, not far from
the sea and the French frontier, has
just celebrated its dramatic penitential
procession, q great religious passion
play, for the two hundred and forty
eighth time in its history.
Sleepy old Fumes awakens once a
year from its life Of idyllic isolation,
to hold, on the last Sunday Of the
month Of July, a penitential procession
for the continuous expiation of a crime
that was committed in the year 1850.
Gothic churches and public buildings
dating from the time of the Renais-
,sance indicate the past Importance Of
the little community that is now almost
forgotten to the world. The highly
dramatic features Of the annual reli-
gious ceremony, which is held on the
same day as the kirmess Of St. Wal
burgis, appeal strongly to the Belgians.
The streets Of the quiet town then as
sumo a penitential aspect, while they
are anonymously enlivened at the
same time with festivities Of the most
profane character.
Burghers of the town and Inhabitants
of the neigh boring villages take part in
the Passion Play that forms the most
important feature Of the procession.
These simple actors seem to be thor
oughly inspired by the feelings of self
humiliation and repentance imposed
upon them bystheir parts.
From the Church Of ST. Walburgis,
which, at the beginning of the four
tenth century was designed with such
magnificence that only the choir could
be completed after the original de-
signs, the procession takes its start.
To the tolling of bells, at o'clock in
the afternoon, the line winds through
the streets that are decked with flags
in the national colors, black, yellow
and red.
Gensdarmes, in bearskin caps, lead
the way, checking the approach OF the
curious,
: There are forty groups in the pro-
cession. At the head of each walks a
young girl in holiday attire, bearing a
cross, who announces in the Flemish
tongue the, scene that is to follow.

Apple Crop at Homo and Abroad.

According to data compiled by the
Boston Chamber of Commerce, the
probable yield of apples in the New
England states will be about one-half
an average crop, while the same ap-
plies to New York, with quality mostly
inferior. Virginia, Maryland, Pennsyl-
vania and Kentucky, about one-thlrd
of a crop. Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas,
Illinois and Indiana, considerably less
than last year. Michigan, California,
Colorado and Oregon, many more than
last year. These predictions are made
by the same authority as regards the
crop in the countries named: Great
Britain - Considerably heavier than
last year, the bulk of which will con-
sist of later varieties. France and
Belgium-Fair crop of late varieties.
Spain and Portugal-Early varieties
rather light, with later varieties heav-
Ter. Holland and Germany-Will not
have large crop, as fallings of late
varieties have been considerable, more
especially in Germany, while Holland
will be heavier in early varieties. Nova
Scotia-A fair crop. and by some it is
estimated that over 100000 barrels will
be shipped. Ontario-East Of Toronto,
not so heavy as last year, while west
of Toronto there will be many times
more than last year. The prospects
are that the fall varieties will not be
required in Great Britain, except in
very moderate quantities, as their ap-
pies and those from the continent will
almost answer requirements until win
ter apples from the United States are
ready for shipment.

THE QUIET MANS SPECIAL.
When y ne Ordered It the Ticket Agent

& sS1H ln ne Ordered ltsthe Itcket Agent
< Gasped.
Is quiet man walked into the Camden
station the other night about s o'clock
and made his way in Ieisurely man
5ner to the ticket Office. Depositing an
unpretentious satchel on the counter,
he asked for a ticket to Pittsburg, says
the Baltimore Sun Do you want to
go tonight?" asked the ticket agent.
Yes, said the quiet man. well, your
train left half an hour ago and there
is no other train to Pittsburg tonight"
That's a pity" observed the quiet
man, in the same tone as before He
looked down at the counter meditative-
~ and then said: ttRig me up a spe-5
cial train to Pitts burg, right away, will
you? The ticket agent looked as if
he could have been knocked down with
q feather. Il beg your pardon" he
said. The quiet man repeated the or
der and explained that he wanted to
arrive in Pittsburg by $3.50 o'clock in
the morning, as he had to make con-.
nection in that city with another train
He was at once made acquainted with
Night Manager G. 3. Hicks, who sent
for w. T. Lechlider, who has charge Of
the passenger equipment at the Cam
den station. There was much activity
displayed as soon as the order for the
special was transmitted through the
yards. When the preliminaries had
been arranged the prospective passen-
ger asked how much the special would
cost. Three hundred and forty-six
dollars, answered Mr.. Lechlider.
Without the slightest hesitation the
quiet man drew out a checkbook and
made out a check for the amount. 1t
was signed D. T. Keenan,, and there re-
manned no doubt of the genuine char
acter Of the piece Of paper. Mr.. Keen
an is one Of the best known railroad
contractors in Philadelphia, and init
mated that $346 was but drop in the
bucket compared with the business in
hand. The special left at II o'clock
midnight and arrived on time at about
| 8 o'clock in Pittsburg, a remarkably
quick run. The regular fare to Pitts
burg is So.

Calmuck Wool Growers.

One of the most difficult tasks Of
government employees is accurately to
locate the country in which imported
wool is produced. This is particularly
the case in regard to the celebrated
Calmuck wool. The Calmucks are peo-
pie of the Monaghan type, and are
found in the Chinese and Russian en-
p1res, as well as other portions of CEN
trail Asia. They are a wandering race,
and are very eccentric. Continually
on the move, they stop only at places
where feeding is abundant. When the
season for shearing approaches they
get as near as possible to the most con-
venlent port in the district they hap
pen to be travelling in. They seldom
ship their wool from the same port
twice in succession. They live in conf
cal. felt tents. which are set up in.
regular lines, like the streets of
town. They pride themselves on their
small, tough, high-spirited horses, and
these, with excellent cattle and broad
tailed, rough-heeced sheep, constitute
their wealth. They are great gam
blers, and the shearing season, which
throughout is period of merrymak-
ing. brings out this vice in an extraor-
binary way. Their favorite practice is
to gamble on the speed of two or more
OF the most adept shearers. A Cal
muck may begin his shearing a COM
paratively wealthy man and end the
season by being a beggar. But he.
never frets over his. losses, He starts
out again confident of restoring his.
fortunes, and often within year he is
better off than ever But this does not
cure his mania for gam bling, which he
will follow so long as he has anything
to gamble with.

Some Up-to-Date Hints About Gull
tivation Of the Soil and Yields
Thereof Horticulture. viticulture and
Horticulture.
Celery.

s.-lfEf celery i
Celery is said to be a native Of
Great Britain, where it grows in low,
wet places. 1t has been cultivated and
made edible. introduced into the
United States it grows well in soils
that are moist and filled with humus
and in ATTITUDES not too cold. Black
muck is favorite soil in the West,
and where it is undertake by gravel or
some soil that will permit of natur-
al drainage it proves suitable. There
are favorite localities where the muck
is SO deep that it makes no difference
what the subsoil is, since by digging
large open drains, a way out is mace
for the water. There are many places
where celery soil exists that is as yet
unutilized for the growing OF tnat
plant. Celery is a boon to the FARMER
in that it takes for its natural hapltdl
soil that is not suitable for many OIL
his crops. Not only is here the al
vantage that the low lands can pc
used that would be otherwise but ser
viceable for meadows, but the gener-
ally even distribution of the muck
lands and the open bitches make ir-
rigation easily possible. Thus the far
mer can be sure of a crop, even IN the
dryest of years. In such case the
coming in of this celery crop may
make up for losses sustained on the
lands that cannot be made resistant
to drouth. The plant can be grown
on the uplands, where of course us
success will be determined largely by
the state Of the weather. .1.- 81
Fertilizing is done as TOR otner
crops, and in such cases barn-yard
manure is preferable to any other
kind. Nitrate of soda is used to some
extent, as are also lime and gypsum.
The seed for the early crop Is usually
sown in hot beds during the first half
Of March. If one has a greenhouse OF
course this may be used for starting
the plants. The advice is given to
cover the seed very lightly, say six
teenth of an inch, and to keep the
ground moist till the plants have OBJ
tanned a good start. One writer says
cover the top of the ground with paper
or boards till the seeds sprout.
For the crop that is expected to RI
pen late in the fall the seed may be
sown out of doors almost any time in
spring previous to June. When the
plants are large enough to transplant
they should be set in rows, the plants
to be six inches apart in the row and
the rows four or five feet apart. From
that on the culture is not much differ
ent from that given to most other
plants, surface cultivation between the
rows being practiced. If the field is a
large one it may be found better to
use horse cultivator, when it may be
advisable to have the rows more than
four feet apart.
Blanching is done in various ways,
by the use of boards or by killing up
the earth around the plants. But when
the celery is not to be put onto the
market till late in the winter it is not
often blanched till it is about to be
disposed of.

Eject of Feed on Pork.

OF course, hogs, like other animals,
and even like human beings, will con-
tract a depraved appetite, says a writ
er in an exchange. If forced for long
to consume calculated food, he will
grow to prefer it, just as the topper
Graves alcoholic drink, or as the
opiumeater Graves the baneful drug
that has destroyed his will while per-
verting his physical condition. Some
times grower will assert that thigh"
food is best for swine, but the assertion
is unscientific and easily disproved by
practice. One who will separate his
swine into two groups for feeding, the
one with wholly unfermented foods,
and the other with sour and putrid
foods of the so-called "swill'' class,
will, when he comes to killing, find a
vast difference between the texture,
color, flavor and other qualities Of the
meats in the two groups. 1t is un-
deniable that the quality of the food
is recorded in the quality of the flesh
produced by it, and this fact should
forever be borne in mind by the grow
er of swine. Western corn-fed pork
can be recognized even in ham and
bacon by it's texture and flavor. Swill-
fed pork bears it's distinguishing
marks from. pen to pan. Aeorn-fed
pork is recognizable anywhere and
everywhere by the tang of the acrid
meat of the acorns. The pork Of the
creamery swine would never be
mistaken by any one who has ever
made comparative examination of
the pork of swine fed on various foods.
The grower must keep these indispu-
table points in mind when he outlines
his practice with his swine.
