AN ANNTEI-I. TALE

There is a restaurant porter in this city
who has a genius which is able bodied
enough to make him a great inventor, or
the manager Of a Panama canal reorgan-
ization committee. His originality is a
wonderful thing, and he ought to be in a
field to employ the scope of his unusual
vivid ideas. Last week he was set to work
TO clean a lot Of lamp chimneys, and as
cloths and other things did not clear up
the glass fast enough he hit upon a new
plan. He took the big Maltese cat which
loafs around the place and stood him on
the kitchen table. Then he went ont and
whistled for a dog. He inveigled the dog
inside and shut the doors and tied the cat
securely to the table Then he got his
chimneys all ready to work, and started
the dog to barking at the cat OF course
the cat bristled up and swelled out his
tail to the size OF summer squash and It
was elevated straight up with rage and
fear. While the handle OF the cat was
thus inflated the porter took his chin
neys and run the tail through them I'D
and down several times. and soon they
were all well cleaned. The soft. velvety
fur OF the swelled-out tail served the pur-
pose. and the cat does not know yet how
abjectly he was worked.

as blossoms are required when obtainable.
A Saturday spent in this way is delightful
outdoor recreation, and at the same time
many specimens are obtained which are
pressed on returning home. AT the close
of school each pupil leaves five specimens
with the academy. These are all Kept,
and at the opening of school the next fall
some of these specimens are placed on eX-
hibition in the Office. The specimens on
file represent very well the flora of this
particular part of Kansas, for, Of course,
one leaves his prettiest and his rarest
specimens with the school.

ABOUT EASTER EGGS.


| The custom of dyeing eggs Easter has
| quite passed away in Wichita. In former
/ years it was general. In all ages and in
| all countries eggs have been the subject
Of legend and romance. At the Easter
| season, when the egg is a most palatab.e.
as We'll as staple, article of food. it is par
| toularly interesting to trace the various
superstitions and legends that have been
| connected with it.
The ancient Firms believed that a mystic
bird laid an egg in the lap of Vaimainon.
who Matched ii in his bosom. He let il
fall in the water and it broke The lower
portion OF the shell formed the earth. the
( upper the sky, the liquid white became the
sun, the yolk the moon; while the broken
bits Of egg shell were turned into stars.
In Germany the egg is as much a feat
ure OF the gay Eastertide as in our own
land, vet the hen, goose or duck is not
held responsible for its existence. but n
the pretty hare are accredited oviparous
qualities. and a nest Of sugar egg. pre-
sided over by toy hare is the most IA
yored Gift among the younger generation
L Is the custom in German families on
Easter eve TO conceal a nest of real and
sugar eggs among dried leaves in the gar
den allowing happy children to enjoy an
esq hunt on Easter morning.
ONE legendary reason given for the Fast
81 egg IS that i'm the fourth century the
church forbade the use Of eggs IN Lent
out as this did not prevent the hens from
laying them they accumulated 50 rapi5lv
thar 1t was found necessary TO boil them
and give them to the children for NAV
things. The little folks delighted 10 dive
them in gay colors: hence the practice
that has descended 20 the children OF the
present day.

duke besought the beautiful princess TO
try the dance with him. Full of love,
grace and the eXhilaration of the moment,
they fulfilled the difficult task and were
greeted by the most enthusiastic cheers
from the beholders. They were married,
and on every succeeding Easter this Gus

feature in the Easter rejoicings in the
dukes realms.

record of 81 out Of a possible 100, and this
even in the east among the big gun clubs
is considered a fine record. Ii may be
said in this connection that many out-of-

to Wichita to have shells loaded for them
to order, as the local houses have a fine
reputation for skillful work along this
line.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.

! "OBERAMMERGAU," PASSION PLAY.
Oberammergau, a small village in the
mountain valley of the Ammer, in Upper
Bavaria. lies 300 feet above the sea, and
about forty-fve miles to the southwest
of Munich. In 1880 it contained 13,49O in
habitanrs, who were mainly engaged in
( making toys and in carrying cruciffxes,
| images of saints and rosaries. Many Of
! the business houses are adorned Wiz
quaint frescoes of Biblical subjects. The
interest of Oberammergau TO the outer
world is derived from the passion plays"
which are performed here by the villagers
at intervals of ten years Che last in
1890 )and are now attended by many thous-
ands Of European and American visitors.
The Oberammergau passion play, or
dramatic representation of the sufferings
of Christ, is not a survival of madiaeval
mystery, or miracle play, but took its
rise from a vow made by the Inhabitants
in 1553, with the hope of staying a plague
then raging The original text and ar
Tangements were probably made by the
monks of Ettal, a monastery a little high
CT up than the village; but they were
carefully remodelIed by the parish priest
at the beginning of. the present century,
when the Oberammergau play obtained
exemption from the general suppression
Of such performances by the Bavarian
government. The music was composed by
Rochus Dedler, school master Of the
parish in 1914 The performances take
place on the Sundays of summer in a
large open air theatre holding 5000 per-
sons. and each last about nine hours.
with a short intermissiOn at noon. Each
scene from the history Of Christ, IS pre-
faced by tableau of typical import from
the Old Testament About 700 actors are
required all belonging to the village.
The proceeds Of the performances are de-
voted to the good Of the community, after
betrayal Of the costs and payment of a
small remuneration to the actors The
villagers regard the passion play as a
Solemn act of religious worship, and the
performances are characterized by the
greatest reverence. The principal parts
are usually hereditary in certain families,
and are assigned with regard to moral
character, as well as dramatic ability. It
IS considered a disgrace not to be allowed
10 take part IN the play, and the part
of Christ Is looked upon as one Of the
greatest of earthly honors. In the years
intervening between the representations
the viIlag rs are carefully drilled in dra-
matte performances by their pastor and
most visitors agree in rating very highly
the results produced by the combined re-
ligious fervor and artistic instinct of these
Alpine peasants. 1t is to be feared, how
ever. that the concourse Of fashionable
visitors who now flock to the perform
ances viii gradually have the effect Of
impairing its genuineness and simplicity.
An English version of the text of the
passion play has been published by E.
Chlde. 1850. Articles on the subject have
also appeared in the following magazines:
Century. 1889, and Harper's Vol "A 2and As,
Encyclopedia Britannica.

A FEW QUESTIONS.

DR.. Shultz, who is something Of a phil
osopher as we'll as a physician, says he
often wonders:
Why boy always leans over and puts
his chin on the handlebars, nearly, when
he rides a bicycle.
Why man is never satisfied with a
cigar unless he is allowed 10 pick 1t off
the show case from a half dozen
Why a man always whips his assailant
in a fight which he dreams he has
Why the public always abuses the board
of health for enforcing an ordinance which
only the council is responsible for.
Why the electric light never burns in
the court house tower so the clock can be
seen a. night
Why men try harder to violate the game
law than others on the statute books.
